San Carlo Restaurant Group is a Manchester-based, multi-unit Italian dining group operating across the United Kingdom. Founded by the Distefano family more than 30 years ago, it runs around twenty-five authentic Italian restaurants in cities including London, Manchester, Bristol, Liverpool, Leeds, and Leicester, with a partnership that places venues within Selfridges stores. Each restaurant maintains its own team of chefs and managers and prepares dishes on site from seasonal Italian produce. It positions itself as independent within an industry dominated by large chains, emphasizing craft and provenance over centralized kitchens. It has expanded overseas to markets including Bangkok, Qatar, Bahrain, and Dubai. In 2026, the group launched a Summer Spritz menu.
