   Really enjoyed our experience here. We had the Chicken Parmesan and the spaghetti and meatballs. I will not say it is the most amazing Italian food I have ever had however the food was very good and extremely fast. I don’t think I have ever had food come out so fast. We ended with the tiramisu which they said they make in house and it was massive. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a quick delicious Italian meal.

   Another great meal at Caruso’s! This time we split the special spring salad to start then got the Ragu, the eggplant rollatini, and the chicken piccata. All were outstanding. We split the crema bruciata and the tiramisu for dessert. Caruso’s is consistently wonderful and remains one of our favorite restaurants in DC, especially to bring parents visiting from out of town!

   Service and ambiance are amazing! Food is a bit overpriced for the quality / presentation.

   It was well worth the wait to get a reservation ! All three dinners - each quite different -- were exquisite . That was our first visit but not the last. And the waiter - Pedro - made it even better.

   A great meal and a fantastic (but sometimes loud) neighborhood vibe, Caruso’s always delivers a wonderful dining experience.

   After reading reviews I had high expectations for the food. The booth seating was very comfortable .Our server was friendly, attentive and helpful. Each of us enjoyed our different salads: house, Caesar, and tricolore. We all agreed that the spicy ragu and the baked cavatelli were very good, however 2 of the 3 of us felt that the eggplant rollatini was not so pleasing to our taste due to excessive salt and possibly an imbalance of herbs. The prices are reasonable. I would eat there again.
