Executive chef: Matt Adler
From the OpenTable editors: Named the best Italian-American restaurant in the city by the Washington Post, Caruso’s Grocery is a love letter to the Italian-American joints chef Matthew Adler grew up with, including one run by his father in upstate New York. The menu leans into classics like spaghetti and meatballs, alfredo and penne alla vodka—all served in a throwback dining room outfitted with big red booths and black-and-white photos. Pair your food with an "Antipasti" dirty martini and dig in.
