   A cozy dinner with Italian beer, cosmopolitans, apple salad, trout, eggplant Parmesan, and gnocchi. Good service and super good food!

   We enjoyed our first dining experience at Caruso's, and it exceeded our expectations. The brunch was delicious, reasonably priced, and left us feeling very satisfied. Also, our server, Connie, was great.

   We thought the food was just okay. The place was packed and the servers seemed overloaded.

   Delicious Italian! We tried the Neapolitan ragu, the truffle Alfredo pasta, and the special short rib ragu with gnocchi. All were delicious....amazing! Service was solid. We were celebrating a birthday so they brought out one of the Nutella cannoli; it was small so the pastry/filling ratio was high, and filling was not that flavorful. We were considering ordering the dessert portion to share and then opted not after the complimentary taste. (BTW, we go to Boston North End frequently and know good cannoli!) We also tried the tomato gin dirty martini; none of the 3 we ordered seemed "dirty." We ordered sides of olive brine. Overall, we will definitely go again and take friends and family. Best Italian I've had in DMV thus far. YUM!

   The food is good but it is similar to the same as a million other Italian restaurants in the DMV.

   Food quality pretty good but had issues with timing of food and getting order wrong. One of the servers looked really stressed and was rude when we came in. Not sure would repeat if considering the cost and overall experience.

   Hi Leticia, Thank you for your feedback. We’re thrilled to see our Saturday brunches getting busier, but I’m sorry to hear that we missed the mark on timing and your order. With so many guests arriving within a short window, it can be a challenge, but that’s no excuse—we always strive to provide seamless service and a great experience. I truly appreciate your understanding, and we’d love the opportunity to welcome you back and show you how we do things at our best. Please feel free to reach out to me here on OT in private messages, at your convenience. Thanks! BGP, GM of Caruso’s & Owens Tavern

   We took our parents here for their anniversary and the staff was so nice! From start to end, it was exceptional service, they really made the experience so special. I would recommend them to everyone and I will definitely be going back!

   Gotta be honest. I love the place. The food is always outstanding and the portions are so big I always have at least one full meal of leftovers. Plus The kids meals are actual meals and every time we go my kids are willing to try different stuff, which is amazing. Service is always excellent too. Please don't skip going.

    Service is slow and awkward. Took forever to get refills on our drinks. Food had little to no flavor. Gave it a try but wouldn’t come back.

    Hi Lauren, I’m sorry to hear that your experience on Saturday wasn’t ideal. I do want to share that your server was on her very first day out of training, and she was quite nervous—soft-spoken and still finding her rhythm. That being said, we always want to provide the best service possible. We’d love the opportunity to win you over! Please feel free to connect with me here via private message, and let us show you what we’re really about. Kindest, Beau GM, Caruso’s Grocery / Owens Tavern
