   Phenomenal food. Best Italian restaurant I have been to in a long time. The staff is extremely attentive and friendly. The Alfredo and chicken parm are amazing. I live in NJ and would not hesitate to drive back just to eat here.

   OUTSTANDING! From the drinks to the entrees, everything was amazing. I can’t wait to come back and try the entire menu! Do yourself a favor and don’t skip this one. A couple of highlights: garlic bread, Mediterranean margarita, and ravioli.

   As advertised, Little garlicky, I mean if your on a date prepare for that. Garlic stayed with me for a couple of days, but other than that the food was delish, place is sweet.

   My fiancé and I have been going to Caruso's about once a month since we discovered it. The food and service are always amazing but this last visit was a little more unique.... We went here the night of our anniversary and the little things the staff did to make our night special was amazing! When we arrived we were given a complimentary glass of champagne and the staff wished us a happy anniversary (which was such a nice touch and I was not expecting). At the end of the night when we couldnt decide between two deserts they threw the one we didn't choose in on the house. I can not recommend this place enough. We've visited about 4 times now and every time we walk out just raving about how great the experience was.

    The food was fine but nothing we can't make at home. It was terrifically loud, conversation required raised voices. Service was spotty: wrong meals delivered, beverages after food. Would recommend to someone who doesn't really cook and wants some decent Italian.

    Went here for our anniversary second year in a row. Everything was amazing. Great fast attentive service. Garlic Caesar has tons of flavor and a great way to start the meal. The spicy Neapolitan ragu was amazing, as was the baked cavatelli. Caruso’s knows their gravy! We took some leftovers home so we could try a dessert. The Nutella cannolis didn’t disappoint, clever alternative to a traditional. Can’t wait to come back, definitely before our next anniversary 😃

    Amazing meal. Host, service, food, drinks were all absolutely fantastic and welcoming. Only minor point of note is portions are filling, but not enormous, which is what I think of when I think of “red sauce” joints. Garlic bread and Neapolitan Ragu in particular were amazing.

    Delicious handmade pasta, best penne alla vodka I’ve had in a while. Great service, our waiter was absolutely charming. The cocktails are all classic, well made and only $10, which is a steal in DC. I will definitely be back.

    Whether drinks, appetizers, entrees, or desserts are not matched within Washington DC. We enjoyed calamari and tomato burrata for appetizers. Followed by Spicy Neopolitan Ragu and Linguini with Clams, followed by Espresso and Tiramusu. Everything was impeccable from a timing and service perspective as well. Make your reservations and enjoy what others grew up with when they were able to experience Arthur Avenue in the Bronx.

    All the food we had were so delicious and the service was very attentive! Calamari was lightly battered and crispy even after a while, Garlic bread was totally bomb!! With cheesy sauce! We couldn’t stop eating- dangerously addictive app!! We had three different kinds of pastas- shrimp scampi, Alfredo and seafood diavola. It was very hard to pick what’s the best! I picked seafood diavola, my bf picked alfredo, and sister picked shrimp scampi :) Each pasta has its own well balanced flavors. Love all the pastas!! For dessert, cheese cake was very good! It’s not too dense nor heavy- chocolate cannoli was sooo delicious too!! and house made limoncello was very smooth and delightful! It is very popular place and I can see why- it is definitely worth of making reservations even a month ahead! We will totally come back!! Our favorite Italian place!! Thank you!!
