This Mother’s Day, San Carlo is turning a family dinner into something far more memorable. Known for its unique blend of heritage, glamour and genuine hospitality, San Carlo isn’t just about exceptional food; it’s about atmosphere, and those thoughtful details that transform a meal into an occasion. 

On Sunday 15th March, Mums who dine at all  San Carlo, Cicchetti, Fumo restaurants and Flying Pizza, Isola and Signor Sassi will receive a complimentary glass of Champagne*,  setting the tone for a celebration that feels both indulgent and heartfelt. Adding to the experience, Polaroid cameras, film and keepsake frames will be placed on tables as part of #Sancarlomoments, inviting families to capture the laughter, toasts and togetherness and to leave with a tangible memory in hand. 

At San Carlo’s Selfridges locations (Alto, London; Bottega, Gran Cafe & Champagne Bar, Manchester; and Fumo, Birmingham), specially curated Mother’s Day two-course menus will showcase signature Italian flavours and comforting classics, alongside a glass of  Veuve Clicquot

Yellow Label Champagne. Dishes and prices vary across the sites with starters including Sicilian Arancini and creamy Burrata, while mains celebrate regional favourites such as Panzerotto Pugliese – a golden fried pizza dough filled with San Marzano tomato sauce, buffalo mozzarella and fresh basil, and Melanzane Parmigiana – a traditional Sicilian bake layered with aubergine, Grana Padano and rich tomato sauce. San Carlo’s much-loved pizzas also take centre stage, delivering the indulgence and flair the group is renowned for.  

For those looking for something a bit different, treat Mum to an Afternoon Tea with a twist at Gran Cafe Manchester. Located on the lower ground floor of Selfridges in Exchange Square, Gran Cafe makes its own signature cakes, while the cafe’s wellbeing smoothie bar makes 100% natural smoothies to order from a selection of fresh ingredients.  Take a well-deserved rest from browsing the city this Mother’s Day and enjoy a taste of Italy with one of two indulgent Afternoon Tea offerings. 

Throughout the month, seasonal specials and celebratory touches continue across Selfridges sites, including the Veuve Clicquot Duo with popcorn and the Gran Cafe Lobster Roll, both running for the month of March, ensuring the sense of occasion extends beyond a single day. Alternatively, guests can opt for Cicchetti, small Italian sharing plates designed for grazing and conversation, perfect for families who love to sample a little bit of everything with Mum firmly at the centre of the table.

For those who favour tradition, a classic Mother’s Day Sunday Lunch will be served at San Carlo’s Hale, Alderley Edge, Bristol and Flying Pizza (Roundhay, Leeds) restaurants, offering the warmth and generosity of an Italian family feast. Alderley Edge and Flying Pizza will host live music alongside their popular Sunday Roasts, creating a vibrant, celebratory backdrop. Elsewhere, weekend DJs will appear at selected locations, bringing the signature San Carlo buzz that makes every visit feel like an event. 

This Mother’s Day, a San Carlo gift card is the perfect way to treat Mum to exceptional Italian dining and unforgettable moments together. And for a limited time, the gift is worth even more. Purchase an exclusive £100 gift card and San Carlo will automatically increase its value to £120 – an exclusive gift from San Carlo, just for Mum.  Available to purchase  until Monday 16th March. 

From complimentary Champagne to live music, from elegant small plates to generous roasts, San Carlo delivers more than a meal, it delivers a moment. Stylish and heartfelt, Mother’s Day at San Carlo promises an experience worth raising a glass to.
