   Wonderful place! Food was delicious and well presented. It’s a small place, but not crowded and the ambiance is cozy. Our server was professional and very nice

   Had a great family dinner. Service was good. Portion size and quality of food was very good. A little out of the way.

   Unfortunately the clams in the Linguini and clams dish tasted way off - super fishy (almost as if they pried them open but weren’t a good batch). Also drinks were cleared before finished.

   The food and service was excellent, very decently priced. The ambience was very good, but I was expecting it to be cozier, not so modern. Absolutely recommend!

   We were so excited to score a reservation here and this dinner did not disappoint. Everything about our experience was incredible and is now my favorite Italian restaurant in DC and surrounding area.

   Delicious food! We had the antipasto appetizer, chicken parm, chicken picatta, baked cavatelli, butterfinger sundae, tiramisu, and canollis. It was all incredible!

   I had a fantastic dining experience at this charming Italian restaurant! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome. The service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and efficient without being intrusive. As someone who requires gluten-free options, I was especially impressed with how knowledgeable and accommodating they were. The staff took the time to explain the gluten-free choices on the menu and even offered some great recommendations. The chef clearly understands the importance of dietary needs and made sure I felt completely at ease. The food was absolutely delicious! I had the gluten-free pasta, and it was cooked to perfection—light, flavorful, and just the right texture. The overall atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great Italian meal, especially if you need gluten-free options. I’ll definitely be returning!

    Caruso’s was such a treat. First our waiter Scott was a delight, very friendly and very helpful! The food was delicious! We started off with the Burrata, Gnocchi alla Genovese and the spicy Neapolitan Ragu for mains and the butterfinger sundae for dessert. All were Devine. The pesto cream sauce on the Gnocchi was superb and light. Overall, it was a great dinner and I look forward to going back. Thanks again Scott!
