Claudio Pirollo grew up in Belgium where he soon discovered his passion for cooking as he wandered around his father’s fine Italian épicerie (grocery store) and watched his mother prepare dinner every day. The dual influence of Italy and Belgium triggered Chef Pirollo’s aspirations to develop his knowledge and experience with different flavors.A Trattoria is not a pizzeria, it is an Italian-style eating establishment that is generally much less formal than a ristorante but more formal than an osteria. It is similar to what the French call Bistrot.Trattorias are traditionally family owned, casual, rustic neighborhood restaurants found throughout all of Italy that offer fresh, regional, local and family specialties on the menu.

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.

So it’s noisy and crowded. Who cares, the food is just delicious, largely portioned and fairly priced, as are the drinks and wine, all delivered by a serving staff that is professional and caring.

Great experience! I feared that our party of 6 with 3 kids would not fit in, but the place was great. Nice menu with a good mix of options, great kids menu, and we all really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. There was a mix of families and adults meeting up with friends. The staff was very helpful. Now that we’ve finally tried the Grove, I know we’ll be back soon.

Had lunch with friends on a weekday (Friday). Service and food were excellent. Our pasta dishes were freshly made and the staff did not make us feel rushed to leave as we stayed long after finishing our meal to talk. Definitely will be returning to the restaurant.
