    Place has been a fixture of Downtown Tucson for decades and its street sign is truly a relic of a bygone era. They have outlasted many other Italian restaurants in The Old Pueblo and for good reason, all of their authentic fare is near perfection and the design on the interior is truly unique and welcoming. Definitely recommend Caruso''s to any visitors that you know!

    My favorite thing on the menu is the antipasto salad. The dressing is sooooooo good. Also the house Caruso sauce is incredibly delicious!

    We have been coming here for years now. Every time we come, the food is always the same. Hot tasty and delicious i would strongly recommend their pizza and salad. They make their own salad dressing.That has a very distinct flavor very good to dip with the garlic bread they give you.

    Enjoyed Caruso's. It is located right downtown, plenty of other shops to walk around and look at after a big dinner! Food was good service was very good. Italian is tough in this town due to some strong competitors.

    I use to enjoy this place, but the food has gone down hill and they want to nickel and dime you for everything. The cheapest plate is $20. You'd figure to get salad or soup with your meal. 1 basket of bread and after that they charge you for another. I haven't been their since 2021, but went back on December 19th and it will probably be the last time I go.
