As Wolfman states above, San Carlo is excellent, great food, atmosphere and used by celeb's.
I prefer San Rocco, Back King Street to be honest, great food and a little less frenetic. Don Giovani's across the tram tracks to the side of The Midland Hotel is decent enoughespecially for a lunch or pre 'theatre' meal ie not the main event of the evening
