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.

    Excellent prefix meal including salad and entree and a dessert for a very low price. They do that on weekdays, not just Valentine's Day. Food tasted great! My go-to place!

    Caruso's Grocery at Pike & Rose is consistently excellent. It's hard to find really good Italian food in the area, so we were thrilled to discover them. The calamari is some of the best we've had, and we've really enjoyed the pasta dishes and entrees that we've tried over several visits. Highly recommend!

    Caruso’s definitely lived up to the hype. Amazing food and amazing service. We had their Alfredo and Trout Piccata, both 10/10. Don was our server and he truly took care of us! Friendly, attentive and made great recommendations. Will definitely ask for him the next time I visit. Thanks again!

    The food is just correct and uniformly lacks intensity of flavor. The impression at this Pike & Rose venue is that the kitchen is sort of going through the motions. Also, although I suspect it is intentional, the ambience is dark & on the dinghy side. The booths are really a bit too small - choose a table if you can. Finally, the service is attentive and enthusiastic, which was a plus.

    Hi Jeffrey, I’m sorry to hear your experience wasn’t what we hoped it would be for you. We always strive to exceed expectations, and while we do our best, there are times we miss the mark. We truly appreciate your feedback. I also spoke with your server, and she was genuinely saddened that you and your guests didn’t have the experience we aim to provide. We’d love the chance to welcome you back and make it right—please let us know if we can invite you in at a time that works for you. We’d be happy to take great extra care of you. Kindest regards, Beau GM, Caruso’s Grocery / Owens Tavern

    This is our favorite restaurant for Italian food. We love the chicken parmigiana with vodka sauce.

    While our food and server were wonderful unfortunately the management was not. 45 minutes prior to the reservation I received two calls and no voicemails. Upon arrival 10 minutes early (for our 2:30 reservation) a hostess informed our party that we needed to sit and order immediately as the kitchen closed at 2:30. When addressing this with the manager he said they attempted to call and request that we come early. When I shared that no message was left and to arrive and it be demanded that we order was not acceptable especially as we booked on their site, one of their established reservation times. It is unfortunate that such a bitter experience might be my last at this restaurant.
