The Italian restaurant group is moving Cicchetti from its current at 215 Piccadilly to 172-173 Piccadilly at the Grade II listed Piccadilly Arcade.
The new 7,000sq ft site covers two units and is spread over two floors and will open in spring 2024.
“We’re incredibly excited to be doubling our Cicchetti footprint in Piccadilly and open what will be our flagship site," says Marcello Distefano, managing director at San Carlo. "This is a significant milestone for the group, as we look to expand our restaurant sites across the capital.
"Over the years, we’ve scaled up both in the UK with three new openings in the last couple of years, and internationally with Dubai and Miami opening soon. This new larger site will mean we can continue to cater for increased demand from Londoners and tourists alike.”
San Carlo was founded by the Distefano family in 1992 in Birmingham. The restaurant group currently trades from 24 sites across the UK, seven of which are within London including Alto by San Carlo at the rooftop, Selfridges, Isola by San Carlo in St Christopher’s Place, Fumo on St Martin’s Lane, Signor Sassi and San Carlo Cicchetti restaurants in Covent Garden and Knightsbridge.
It also operates international sites in Qatar, Riyadh, Jeddah, Bahrain and Bangkok with restaurants Miami and Dubai opening soon.
