   Waitress was awesome! I had the Alfredo and it was meh. I like mushrooms and it was too mushrooms. I expected more, however the tiramisu was delicious and the scampi was good according to what the other person had.

   Hi Leon, Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad to hear your server took great care of you and that the tiramisu and scampi hit the mark! We’re sorry the Alfredo wasn’t to your liking—your note about the mushrooms is appreciated and will be passed along to the kitchen for review, maybe a 'heavy hand' that night! We hope to welcome you back soon so we can deliver a meal that fully meets your expectations from start to finish! Beau- GM Carusos Grocery / Owens Tavern

   Always a wonderful meal and experience. It is appreciated that we never feel rushed. The only disappointment tonight was there was no limoncello or orange cello but we did have a great meal

   We ate outside but ate from Caruso’s menu. Service was not good. The server was very inattentive. There was also a high noise level from the street. Next time we will try inside.

   Food and service just fair. Pasta was overcooked, mushy and drenched in sauce. My wife had the chicken parm and thought it was very good. I’m in no rush to go back.

   Food was good, service was good but nothing really stood out. Had better, had worse.

   Lovely date night dinner. Food was delicious and unasked our server comped us our drinks after a bit of a delay in ordering a second round which was appreciated and a classy gesture. Busy on a Saturday night so even with a reservation there was a bit of a wait for tables to turn over but flip side was you never felt rushed when you were eating. Overall recommend without hesitation. Allow yourself plenty of time to park though as that was a cluster.

   Hi Jen, Thank you so much for the kind words and thoughtful review. We're really glad you enjoyed your date night and appreciated the gesture from your server—it’s great to hear it landed well. We definitely get busy, and while there can occasionally be a short wait as tables turn over, we make it a point never to rush guests once they’re seated—so I'm glad that came through. A full house is a good problem to have, and we’re always grateful for it! Thanks again for the solid review. We look forward to hosting you again soon! Beau- GM Carusos Grocery / Owens Tavern

   Caesar salad we share. Meatball appetizer is always enough for my entree after the bread and salad. The linguine with clams were great even though we have seen the portion size shrink. My Old Fashion was excellent too We find Caruso’s always delicious and dependable. Our waiter, Sam, was attentive without being intrusive. Always look forward to returning

   The food is above-average American Italian. My pasta was an acceptable portion, my daughter’s was small, my wife’s fish was an ok portion for the price. Service is quite professional. It’s unfortunate that knowing who gets which order is noteworthy now, but it was nice to see it at a family comfort level restaurant. Staff is quite good. Prices are fair for today’s marketplace. I would go back, but I wouldn’t hurry. It’s solid, just not remarkable.
