Introducing The New Seasonal Menu
The new seasonal menus feature a variety new and exciting dishes, launching at the start of October. Utilising fresh seasonal produce, the menus offer a delicious mix of Pesci (fish), carne (meat) and dolci (sweet) dishes. Offerings will differ across San Carlo’s 25 UK locations, including London, Manchester, Leeds, Leicester, Birmingham, and Bristol.
Cicchetti’s approach to food is simple. Originating from Venice, the Cicchetti experience celebrates one of the most enjoyable aspects of Venetian life – eating. Diners are encouraged to create their own meal from the Cicchetti menu by ordering multiple plates to share, or eat alone.
New to the starter menus at Cicchetti London and Cicchetti North this winter are the Insalata Con Zucca (a butternut squash, beetroot and watercress salad), the Sourdough and Beef Stew (florentine slow-cooked beef on toasted sourdough), and the Tomino and Truffle Cream (crispy fried tomato cheese from Piedmont with truffle sauce).
San Carlo is renowned for our wide selection of authentic Italian pasta dishes, and the new pasta additions to the winter menu this year are no expectation.
Across Cicchetti restaurants, new pasta highlights include the Mafaldine Beef Cheek (consisting of short wavy pasta with slow-cooked beef ragu), the Pappardelle Duck (long ribbon egg pasta with slow-cooked duck ragu), the Ravioli Porcini (handmade mushroom ravioli with creamy porcini sauce), and the Risotto Zucca (risotto with pumpkin, squash, burrata, vegetarian ‘nduja, and fresh winter truffle).
The meat selections include the Agnello al Barolo (lamb cutlets prepared with Barolo red wine, rosemary, and sun-blushed tomatoes) and the Pollo Principessa (pan-fried chicken breast with white wine, mushrooms, cream, and green asparagus). Additionally, we’re excited to introduce the new Pollo Valdostana (breaded chicken breast topped with cheese, ham, and tomato) to our offerings.
For those who prefer seafood, we have also added a delightful new fish dish to our winter menu: the Lemon Sole with Capers and Brown Shrimps.
To round off the San Carlo winter menu experience, there are two new dolci dishes for dessert that have been added to the winter menus. The Frangipane Peach (a peach and almond cake) and the Torta Caprese (an almond and chocolate cake) will both feature on the menus at the Cicchetti London and North restaurants, as well as the Isola, Fumo Manchester, and Regent Street London restaurants.
