Oh my Goodness… We can’t believe we’ve been living in Mooresville and not knowing about this place!! It’s our new favorite place… italien at its best. Fresh, tasty, and exceptional customer service. 10/10… You need to live this experience!! Worth the drive if you’re not from the area.

This was our first visit to Caruso’s. We wanted to have a romantic fine dining experience for a pre-Valentine’s dinner (we wanted to avoid the crowds). We were skeptical when we drove up and it was in a strip mall, but boy were we surprised when we went inside! It was pretty busy (thank goodness we had a reservation—I would highly recommend it), so it was a little loud and we had difficulty hearing our waitress. Our waitress was Lisa—she was very knowledgeable and efficient. We loved everything that we ordered with one exception: the Caesar salad. It hardly had any dressing on it and it was mostly just lettuce. Everything else was amazing! We started with the crab cakes, House red Cabernet, and fresh bread—which was delicious. Next, I had lobster ravioli with a huge shrimp on top (this was a special) and my fiancé had Pappardelle alla vodka (handmade egg noodles with scallops and shrimp in a vodka sauce). We were impressed that the pasta and the desserts are all made in-house. Definitely save room for dessert! I had the mascarpone cheesecake which is unlike anything I’ve ever had!! The crème brûlée was also delicious! We will definitely return. Just know that it’s a little pricier than your average restaurant With tip our dinner for two was about $200.

Great Italian restaurant in a strip shopping center. You walk in and they have created a great atmosphere. It is one of our favorite places. They have a great variety and typically have some specials that are worth trying. Save room for dessert.

Went here for an anniversary dinner with my husband. The food was okay, nothing worth bragging about, except the Creme Brule. That was absolute divine!

This place has been recommended to me so much and now I see why. Everything from the bread to dinner to drinks where so good. Feels like a mamas Italian restaurant meets fine dining. I highly recommend the house Chardonnay!

Absolutely the best Italian I have ever had. It was great start to finish. The grilled octopus appetizer was phenomenal. I also had the fish and lump crab meat special which was delicious as well. Old fashioneds were mixed properly. Our server was knowledgeable and welcoming. 5

Carusos is that unsuspecting hidden gem in a strip mall that will surprise you! From their heavily poured cocktails, to their fresh bread for starters. It’s cozy and does not allow children and has not for years, makes for intimate time with loved ones. If you don’t see something on the menu, don’t be afraid to ask the chef, many times the chef has accommodated us! The food is authentic and yes, I’m from somewhere else, Cairo’s nails it! We go time and time again. It’s our go to!

Glad to be able to dine in at my favorite and authentic Italian restaurant in the great Charlotte area. Lisa is the best and ask for her to serve you if possible. All entries are awesome but you definitely want to try their cheesecake, one of the most delicious and moist I have ever had.

Been giving this place business for 15 years sometimes buying food for 14 people at a time for takeout. Not only that, we give them tons of business via drug reps that take our team out to dine there for business meetings. Between my office staff, my wife, and myself we called them three times today to verify we can bring our three kids celebrate my wife’s birthday only to show up and have them deny us at the door saying our daughter was too young (despite the fact that my daughter could answer the phone and provide superior customer service than the adults we spoke to today). they stated they didn’t know the age of my daughter, but that is simply hard to believe after calling 3 times to notify them. Three times!! I verified myself 30 minutes before arriving and was told not a problem because my wife called to verify being skeptical and someone who had difficulty with English said no. My call 5 minutes later with Joe/John? said “no problem come on in, we have your table ready right up front for you mr family”. When we arrived, he acted like he had no idea about the age of my daughter. If you don’t want kids in your restaurant that’s fine, but you need to get your act together so families don’t make celebratory birthday plans only to get there and be turned away. Thankful another fine dining restaurant down the street offered to seat us right away. I find it a shame to discontinue being able to give this place further business after giving them so much support over the past 15 years. I enjoyed their food, but what happened tonight is not acceptable.

From the very moment we called to reserve our table the experience was 10/10. We felt like celebrities or family. The appetizer, the main course, the wine, the dessert the service… all an amazing experience. This will be our new favorite 5 star escape. THANK YOU Sylvia (greeter) Lisa (our Server) Thank you for a wonderful experience.
