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.

The name Melina is rooted in Greek origin and derives from the Greek word for "honey". "Mel" can be derived from the name Melissa meaning "honey-bee". The restaurant is named after the daughter of Co-Founder Chef Dimitri Moshovitis. “Melina” will honor the strength of the matriarchy in the Greek family. It will lean vegetable-forward with modernized Greek classics from the sea and grilled meats. Greek cuisine is all about freshness and quality of ingredients and that will be on display in a fine casual setting.

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.

Great service and the food is do good. I truly enjoy bringing friends to Cuba de Ayer. The Boliche was tender and tasty. And the Ropa Vieja was truly authentic. The pernil was so tasty that the seasoning can truly come through every bite. Looking forward to my next visit.

We love the place. We have been coming here on occasion for over 20 years now. They have renovated a bit since our last visit, and I preferred the old vibe but the new is really nice. I just have a place in my heart for the darker feel it had in the past.
