   This was my first visit and I'll definitely be back. The food was excellent and our server was very knowledgeable and did not rush us. I can't wait to go back and try some other things on the menu.

   We had brunch on Palm Sunday and the food and service were both excellent. I appreciated that the brunch menu was varied - it has egg and waffle dishes, but also offers lunch items like salads, sandwiches and pastas for those wanting something heavier. The deserts were delicious. I will definitely be back!

   It was our first time at Caruso's grocery and the food was delicious. We had the fried calamari which was ok ,but the eggplant rollatini and the veal parmesan and spaghetti hit the spot! Sauce was delicious. We also had the bomba for dessert which is hard to find at many restaurants near us. The only thing that was disappointing was that we were not offered an end of meal aperitif as a first time guest. The customers next to us were given it but we were never asked if it was our first time visiting which it was . Also disappointing that there was no bread served. we needed something to eat with the sauce.

   Hi Amy, Thank you for the thoughtful feedback—I’m so glad you enjoyed much of your meal. I’m sorry the bread and aperitif were missed. We ran out of our first round of bread during a busy service, and while more was baked, it didn’t make it to your table in time. That’s on us. The limoncello isn’t strictly for first-time guests, but I understand how it could have felt inconsistent, the guests next to you were friends of our Chef. I’ve spoken with your server and he sends his apologies for not checking in further- he is one of our best servers in the store. We never want a guest to leave feeling overlooked, especially on a first visit, and I’d love the chance to welcome you back and ensure everything feels right from start to finish. Please message me privately here on OT. Beau- Gm

    A bit pricey, but the food was excellent. I enjoyed the Semolina Dusted Calamari and Seafood Fra Diavolo. A friend loved her Spicy Neapolitan Ragu, and so did her husband. The Oreo cheesecake had the lighter texture that I liked. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Our waiter was direct and frank when we asked for recommendations, and he kept our water glasses filled, even after we paid. It was satisfying old-school Italian food, and I plan to be back.
