PIZZA! – We recommend pizza with italian sausage, jalapenos, fresh garlic, and mushrooms...even better if you can take time to eat it in the restaurant.

Great Italian food, good atmosphere – First time last night, despite some mixed reviews we took a chance. After waiting what seemed to be a very long time for water and bottled beer, we were served an excellent meal. We had the eggplant parmesan which came with angel hair pasta and appetizing vegetables on the side, and a delicious dish of shrimp, scallops, calamari, mussels and more. It was served in a light red sauce with pasta. Rolls with a tomato dipping sauce (very tasty) accompanied the meal. The restaurant was dark an... read more

Lousy Food/Service San carlo italian bistro Raleigh – We had a meal today and the service was so bad with only one waitress on staff. The meals arrived and were cold, we asked for them to heated up and they reluctantly reheated them. The meal eventually came out without silver wear and we asked for knives and folks. The owner stormed out and almost threw them at us. We also waited and waited for coffee to be told they have none. Very bad and very uncomfortable situation and we will never return.

Didn't like the old fish – I thought this was going to be a nice evening out with my husband. I was told from a friend that this restaurant had good food but my husband and I beg to differ. We both had ordered the linguine with frutti di mare, basically pasta with seafood, and it was terrible. We both thought the seafood tasted a little old and past it's freshness peak when we tasted it but decided to finish since it cost us more than we thought it was worth. Huge mistake. We both ended up sick for 2 days. I will never go ba... read more

Great atmosphere and awesome food – I really like this small little bistro. The food is always decent. Disagree with reviews where people said that the food was salty. I never noticed that during the times that I have eaten there. The menu is full of some pretty authentic Italian dishes, and everytime I've been I've tried something new. They have the best pizza in North Raleigh, hands down - try their Siclian pizza. It's got plenty of servings and is inexpensive too! Service can be slow when they are busy, but they are atten... read more

Great restaurant in north Raleigh if you're looking for Italian food. – Always a great meal with a relaxing and inviting atmosphere, tied with great service. San Carlo has been around for some time in north Raleigh and I'll admit to being a long time customer, as such I can't think of time when I've had anything less than good food and service. While with any restaurant there is turnover and necessary training time for new staff, I've always had attentive waiters/waitresses. Even when the person was new or only with a little... read more

Horrible service – Me and my husband went to lunch here and we left very disapointed. Our food took 30 minutes to come out (only 2 other tables in the restaurant) and when it came out it was wrong twice and tried to charge us for it. The staff was not attentive at all to drinks as well as very slow with any small request. I will never go back here again
