San Carlo Osteria Piemonte

This is a late review: We had Thanksgiving dinner here, and while the atmosphere was as stunning as I remembered from my first visit, the experience fell short in other areas. The biggest disappointment was the service. Our server was polite but barely checked on us, and we constantly had to get his attention. Despite the restaurant being well-staffed, no one came by to refill our wine glasses, which is unacceptable at this price point. The food was fine but not exceptional for the cost—I’ve had much better experiences elsewhere for far less. I tried their special Thanksgiving menu item—the roasted turkey breast with classic gravy and cranberry sauce—while my boyfriend had the filet bourguignon pappardelle. For dessert, we shared the green apple tarte tatin sundae—the portion was huge and perfect for two people. The ambiance is definitely a strong point, with nice decor and dim lighting. However, our candle went out three times, which was a small but noticeable inconvenience. Overall, while the setting is lovely, the mediocre food and inattentive service don’t justify the high prices. I expected more and, unfortunately, left feeling disappointed.

This was an amazing place to celebrate my birthday. Everything from the Butter Service Garnish to the Caesar salad and the truffle lobster toast were phenomenal. They were very attentive to my gluten intolerance and provided a gluten free option for the bread. Excellent server. Wonderful ambiance. Highly recommend!

The food was absolutely delicious. The service was a 10/10. We even arrived a bit early for our reservation and expected to wait, but the host sat us immediately. They were very kind and hospitable! The atmosphere is very elegant and clean. My ONLY drawback for the entire visit is that the tables are pretty much on top of one another. It feels like you are dining with the people next to you, not super great. Otherwise, the ambiance was great! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a delicious night out in the city.
