Caruso's Grocery - District of Columbia top of pageWashington, DCPike & Rose - MD ​WASHINGTON DC LOCATION“Caruso’s Grocery Is The Old School Italian Restaurant Of Your Dreams”​ Caruso’s Grocery is modeled after the classic, Italian-American ‘red sauce’ joint. You know the one: red banquettes, a killer chicken parm, 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. Caruso’s Grocery is home to traditional Italian-American fare focused on execution and high quality ingredients – menu items include chicken parmesan, penne alla vodka, mozzarella en carozza, veal francaise, garlic bread with four cheese sauce, and more old school hits. A joint venture from Neighborhood Restaurant Group and Partner Matthew Adler. ​ Reservations are strongly recommended. Due to the very small size of our dining room, we are only able to accommodate parties of up to 6 guests, and cannot always guarantee walk-in space in the dining room. Walk-in guests should anticipate being sat at the bar, which is seated on a first come, first serve basis (and when the bar reaches capacity, we run a waitlist in person for the bar.) We do not have outdoor dining.order carryout/delivery dc location reservationsTHE WASHINGTON POSTgift certificatesFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSPRIVATE dining INQUIRIESCateringpasta clubDINNERDRINKSWINESDESSERTDINNERDRINKSWINESDESSERTCaruso’s Grocery is a love letter to the simple, classic, Italian restaurants that provided our fondest childhood memories of what a restaurant could be.CARUSO’S INSPIRATION ​ Caruso’s Grocery is a love letter to the simple, classic, Italian-American restaurants that provided our fondest childhood memories of what a restaurant could be.
