Manchester City Manager Roberto Mancini is a regular diner at our latest Manchester dining hit, San Carlo Cicchetti. Always a pleasure to welcome him, we were delighted when he brought almost the entire squad and staff to dine together this month. Mario Balotelli, Patrick Viera, David Silva, Adam Johnson, Joe Hart, Vincent Kompany, Shay Given and Gareth Barry were amongst the group.

Gourmet breakfasts at Cicchetti in Manchester just got bigger. Due to popular demand we’re extending Cicchetti’s breakfast time. You can now feast on the best eggs benedict, deluxe full English (yes, they do it best), croissants and pastries from our tempting menu between 8am and 1130 am seven days a week. If you haven’t tried our breakfasts yet, it’s worth knowing that they’re the best in town, the MEN rated us the full 5 stars and Manchester Confidential loved it too. See you there.

New San Carlo Cicchetti

The great and good of Manchester gathered in late November to toast the launch of San Carlo Cicchetti (pronounced chi-ket-tee), our latest exciting new dining concept. Glamorous guests enjoyed a sophisticated evening sampling Cicchetti’s exclusive venetian tapas style dishes, fine Italian wines, champagne and Prosecco, entertainment was provided by The Northern Royal College of Music.

San Carlo Cicchetti has opened to growing critical acclaim, receiving 5 star reviews from several publications including the Manchester Evening News. A delighted and often star studded host of diners has kept the restaurant and bar buzzing from 8am until 11pm every day. City Manager Roberto Mancini, Martine McCutcheon and Blackburn Rovers’ star Morten Gamst Pedersen have all been spotted dining at San Carlo Cicchetti during its first weeks in business.

The 100 seated chic dining venue and bar is located on the ground floor of the newly refurbished House of Fraser store, Kendals, on Deansgate and has its own entrance on King Street West.

Open from 8am until 11pm Monday to Saturday and from 9am on Sundays, Cicchetti means small plate dishes, similar to tapas, which are typically served in cicchetti bars in Venice.

At San Carlo Cicchetti attention to detail is everything. All dishes are made on the premises using the best ingredients, many of which are sourced and flown in from the owner, Carlo Distefano’s birthplace in Sicily. Diners can choose from a cicchetti menu or a breakfast, mains or afternoon tea menu, and an in-house bakery serves freshly made bread, cakes and pastries.

Cicchetti is our second Manchester venue, our high profile San Carlo restaurant lies just opposite on King Street West.
