  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • 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.

    Great food, excellent service & nice ambiance. A bit loud but if at a booth you can talk with others. Good value too!

    Food and service was very good, I would have rated higher but I don’t like having my tip determined for me, also feel they can do better than tap water and canned soda.

    Food is great but service is lackluster. Celebrated a birthday and nothing was done for the special occasion. There were other celebrating a birthday and they were given a celebration around dessert. We’ve visited before and was offered parmesan cheese with our entrees, not on this occasion while others were getting cheese on their plates. Drinks took a while to come while our glasses came with ice that had already melted. We’ve came a few times and the services seems to lack. Not sure if they were just bad days on both occasions but it really ruins the experience that we are looking for.

    Hi Eric, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I’m truly sorry that we missed the opportunity to make your celebration special and fell short on delivering the level of service you’ve come to expect from us. Your experience matters, especially on such a memorable occasion, and it’s disappointing that we didn’t meet your expectations. We strive to create a seamless experience for every guest, and sometimes we don't quite hit the nail on the head. I’d love the chance to make it right and ensure your next experience is exceptional. Please share your email with me so we can connect privately and arrange something for you. Kindly, BGP GM

    Caruso’s is a fantastic choice, but be sure to make a reservation. Food was excellent, drinks were excellent, and the staff were extremely attentive. Because Caruso’s is more popular, it is a louder space, but this is to be expected from an upper middle tier restaurant. Our waitress was extremely attentive stopping by frequently to refill waters and check on our dining experience. Great service is difficult to find these days, but Caruso’s performed very well. Would highly recommend visiting.

    Get the Chicky chicky parm parm. You won’t be disappointed. We loved that they let you order beer flights from the adjoining bar. Flights were great. Our server was delightful and accommodating. The main room is quite loud, but fortunately we were seated in the small back room and it was pleasantly quiet.

    Our first visit did not disappoint. This place has a nice energy, from the staff to the dining areas. This will be our go to Italian restaurant because of the overall guest experience and quality of cocktails and food. Of note was the Trout Picatta and Veal Francaise and save room for the creme brûlée.

    It was a wonderful first there. Location next to parking garage helped especially around dinner time hours. Didn’t seem overly crowded. Food was delicious. Definitely recommend the meatballs and the caprese to start.
