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.

    Our party of six had a wonderful evening. Every dinner was excellent; our server, Rubel, was helpful and efficient, and the host came by to make sure we were well taken care of.

    Ate in the bar during the playoff game. But they were understaffed for the event. Limited bar menu. But the mushroom Alfredo was good. WAPO bragged about the place. Not top drawer.

    We enjoyed our dinner at Caruso’s Market very much. The food was delicious especially the meatballs. It was a little noisy for my old ears, but we will be back again.

    The service was excellent, and the food was very good. We were seated at a quieter booth, as I requested in the reservation. Very satisfied.

    Caruso’s Pike and Rose is fantastic. Beau and Jamal took excellent care of us when we visited for our anniversary. Our favorite bites were the chicken parm, shrimp scampi, and the Oreo cheesecake (on special - if they don’t have it when you go, we recommend the Creme brûlée). Our favorite part of Caruso’s is how cozy and homey it feels - truly old school Italian vibes. The staff is excellent and they give great recommendations. You can’t go wrong at Caruso’s.

    Noel. Your feedback both public and private not only inspire us to improve but also provide our team with a fresh perspective. I encourage my staff to read reviews daily, as they remind us all of our commitment to being of service, and how it impacts everyone. Thank you again for celebrating your 10th anniversary with us. I hope you know, as I had mentioned that day, you are both now family- Kindest, Beau General Manager Caruso's / Owens

    Way overpriced for portions. We were seated in an empty back room and felt like we were banished from the crowd. Our server was very good but it felt like we were eating in an empty closet. The price for spaghetti and meatballs was usurious.
    Caruso's Grocery - Pike & RoseResponded on January 18, 2025
    Hi Michael, Thank you for your feedback. I left you a voicemail hoping to connect directly, as we value your input and wanted to address your concerns promptly. We take pride in crafting our dishes from scratch, including handmade pastas; like the spaghetti and meatballs and linguini- I'm sorry it didn’t meet expectations. As for the seating, it was a quick decision to seat your party promptly on a busy evening. I apologize if it made you feel disconnected from the main dining area, we are more than happy to adjust seating for anyone! Look, we’d love the chance to welcome you back and provide the exceptional experience we strive for. Please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can show you what we really do in here! Kind regards, Beau GM, Caruso’s Grocery / Owens Tavern
