One of Manchester's most successful and well-known restaurant chains has hailed record sales after recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic.
San Carlo has also returned to the black for the first time since 2019 and is setting its sights on further expansion. The group already has restaurants across the UK and in Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar and is now eyeing new openings in Dubai and Miami.
San Carlo was founded by Carlo Distefano who came to Britain from Sicily in 1962. Aged just 17, all he had was £12 in his pocket, a work permit and a promise of a job at a barbershop.
