   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.

   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.

   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.
