eccellentissimo bistro – When you walk in to S. C. bistro you`ll find yourself in a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. And that`s what I like about it. That`s why I`m going back from time to time with my husband to enjoy quality peacful time together after work. I enjoy the variety of the dinnerplates and I know when I order their special on that night I will not be disappointed. If you don`t like loud, running children around your dinnertable, and you just want to relax and enjoy a nice glass of wine, than go there. The wait might... read more

Love the place – I have dined at San Carlo over 5 times now. It is so refreshing to have something similar to the Italian food I miss from NY. I called one evening on a saturday and the manager remembered my name and guarranteed my wife and I seats at the bar, knowing that seating was at least an hour wait. Now thats personalized service. I have eaten the veal and found it fork tender and the red sauce is close to my mother in law's, who happens to be from Sicily. The only complaint I have is the wine list is not as varied a... read more

Not worth the money – If you are looking for authentic italian food don't go to San Carlo's Italian Bistro. There was a poor Italian wine selection, the food was not authentic. If you are looking for the italian staples go to Maggiano's at Southpoint.

Cozy – A very enjoyable restaurant. I've been 3 times and each time the food was excellent- and i'm a food snob! The staff is outstanding. Not too stuffy, and very cozy. Good place for a week night dinner.

Delicious! – We have eaten at San Carlo several times. Each time the food has been excellent. It is some of the best Italian I've had in the Triangle. The wait staff was quite courteous and helpful. It's cozy so I strongly suggest making a reservation. We'll definitely go back.

Authentic Italian Food! – San Carlo had excellent, authentic Italian food. The wait staff was very polite and professional and the atmosphere was charming. There is no children's menu, so it isn't the greatest place to take your kids, but I would highly recommend it for adult dinners (business or pleasure) or a casual lunch. It also has a good wine list.

NOT GOING BACK! – I loved the concept of going into a smaller Italian restaurant, until I got there. It was 2 of us and we walked in and was told the wait would be about 15-25 minutes. So we proceeded to sit at the bar and have a glass of wine while waiting, when we were told that the ONLY 2 seats left at the bar were saved by someone that could not get there by their "reservation time", so they wanted to sit at the bar in these 2 seats. I have NEVER heard of "saving" seats at a bar. If you can't make it by reservation time,... read more

Italian Food The Way It was meant to be. – If you want real Italian food you must try this Bistro. Non smoking restaurant (except at the bar) the bartenders are top rate and very friendly. You Must Try it. Dinner is the best. With a great assortment of wines.

Tastes ok, Service is horrible! – The food is ok but not up to Nena's, Mama Lia's or the Italian Chop House Standards. The service was the killer for me. 10 min. to get drinks (water), 20 min. to get appetizer, 35 min. to get salads. 1 more hour to get meal! And then the server blames my wife for the wait because she ordered a non garlic sauce. They gave her oil and butter on shell pasta. I could make that in my sleep in 10 min. Please. No offer for discount and my father's food was cold. No way am I going back. We have too ... read more
