REVIEW: San Carlo Cicchetti, Wellington Street, Covent Garden ...
food drinks value
I remember when I first started writing about food, the idea of writing up about a ‘chain‘ restaurant sounded like a sackable offense in food writing.
I find it a great way to see exactly how good the restaurant is at sourcing quality ingredients, plus you can tell how fresh the food will be.
I know prawns don’t come cheap but for two of them at £10.95 you could order a similar dish at Italian restaurant Bocca di Lupo.
A delicate meaty flavour, tender to the bite and soft to the touch – the fat was also cooked perfectly with that nice thin and crispy layer.
But with good food and attentive service Cicchetti has something to offer for every taste.

Restaurant review: San Carlo Cicchetti | Life and style | The Guardian
food menu value
When all else fails – the overconceptualised dining rooms that look like high-end hairdressers, the menus of pan-Asian knockoffs that taste like something has died, or clumsy modern British fiddly bits that feel like a crisis of national self-confidence – you should simply run as fast as you can towards someone with a thick Italian accent.
But on a cold winter's night, sitting in the warm glow of Cicchetti, being served plate after plate of very nice things, the fantasy makes sense.
But here I am faced by a little cast-iron pot of a sweet, dark seafood stew with that dirty, funky flavour you get from the application of baby octopus, and I finally know that everything really will be fine.
Cicchetti serves the smaller plates that its name suggests, and is decorated in the sort of style that is probably laid down in the city's bylaws: a huge amount of marble and chrome, uplighters and downlighters, garlands of twigs threaded with flashing fairy lights.
A thick piece of exemplary raw fillet beef is beaten out to twice its size to be draped over a hot plate to form their "warm Carpaccio" dressed with serious olive oil and curls of black truffle (a bargain at £10.95).
