About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
Caruso's Grocery in Pike and Rose is modeled after the classic, Italian-American "red sauce" joint. You know the one: nostalgic photos on the walls , a killer chicken parmesan, Sinatra pouring through the speakers. If you’re looking for modern interpretations of a chef's take on the classics, you won’t find them here. A joint venture from Neighborhood Restaurant Group and Partner Matthew Adler.

    Caruso’s Grocery absolutely exceeded expectations. The service was phenomenal—friendly, attentive, and professional, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere from the moment we arrived. The food was nothing short of excellent. We started with the calamari, which was perfectly crisp and tender, easily some of the best we've had. The spaghetti and chicken parmigiana were incredible—rich in flavor, perfectly cooked, absolutely delicious. Classic Italian comfort food done exceptionally well. Caruso’s nails both the flavors and the experience. A must-visit for anyone craving outstanding Italian cuisine with top-tier service.

    First time dining at Caruso’s Grocery and it did not disappoint! We were fortunate in being seated in our server Adam’s area. Learning we were first timers, he shared his personal favorites and his recommendations were excellent. Caruso’s Alfredo, my entree choice, was absolutely delicious. My husband enjoyed his choice, the spicy Neapolitan ragu, another Adam recommendation, very much as well. We went with the tiramisu for dessert once Adam told us it had been featured in Bethesda Magazine. It was one of the best we’ve ever had.

    Wow, thank you for this amazing review! We’re absolutely over the moon that your first time at Caruso’s Grocery was such a hit! Huge shoutout to Adam for making your night extra special with his spot-on recommendations. How awesome that you loved the Alfredo and spicy Neapolitan ragu! And that tiramisu? We’re blushing knowing it’s one of the best you’ve ever had! Can’t wait to roll out the red carpet for you and your husband next time—come back soon! 🎉 Ciao! David

    Made reservations here as the one downtown was not available. The one Downtown very highly rated by the WaPo. This one supposedly close to as good. Probably the worst restaurant we’ve been to in a long time. Service was good. But the food was not good. We are less than half and said no to doggy bags. Why would we do that to our dogs.

    You may want to consider a less expensive alternative for microwaved pasta.

    We had a very nice brunch, the Eggs Florentine were delicious, as was my pomegranate Mimosa. Our servers were great — even agree to move us to a quieter table after seating us.
