This is our favorite place. The food is awesome. The gnocchi is incredible. Sam is a great waiter. Wednesday wine night is perfect. Oh yeah forget your diet tonight. Get the bread then the donuts for dessert. Yeah donuts. You can trust me. I'm not like the others.

I'm Italian American and hold restaurants featuring my ethnic food to a high standard. While the calamari I had was good, my husband had the chicken parmigiana.....overly fried and not that tasty. My son had another pasta dish that was coated in a strong overpowering sauce. But the house salad was the most disappointing. As salads go, it was the bare minimum. A few tomatoes, a few onions. some cucumbers didn't make for an exciting mix over rather normal greens. This place is nothing to write home to Nonna about.

The best food in the Hamilton area. Service is gracious, setting is simple. On an off night it is very quiet, but be prepared for fairly loud conversations on a busy night. Wine menu is adequate but limited.

My FAVORITE restaurant!! Even though it is about a 45minute to a hour drive, I have gone over 15 times! The food, service, and atmosphere is phenomenal. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, Caruso's never disappoints!

Outstanding meal! The Calamari were fresh, crisp and perfectly prepared; Chopped Salad was cold and the lemon dressing tasty; our entrees were some of the best we've had in quite awhile (Linguini and Chicken Parm)! We'll be back!!!

Fantastic. We had a very large group and were hoping to get in and out of the restaurant as quickly as possible. We set up a reservation and the restaurant called ahead to confirm and set up the appropriate space. The restaurant was busy, but was able to dedicate the perfect amount of attention to our large group. The service was great; the food was great. A perfect experience.
Three of us dined March 19, 2024. We ordered the meatball and calamari appetizers. The meatballs were fantastic, served in a skillet with cheese and marinara sauce. The calamari was good but not as good as the meatballs. My dinner companions both had chicken Marsala entrees and I had the branzini. My entree was served with a medley of zucchini, squash, and broccolini. The vegetable medley was good, and the fish was one of the best fish entrees I've ever had. My companions said the chicken Marsala was excellent as well. Portions were large and none of us left hungry. I'll go back next time I'm in the area.

This is a nice and cozy place to enjoy a wonderful meal. We order the calamari, meatballs & bread for the appetizer and they were delicious. Pizza & gnocchi for main course & the donuts. We were totally stuffed and highly satisfied. Taylor took great care of us and we couldn’t thank her enough????
Great place to have the perfect nice evening out. For families or date night, this is a jewel in Fairfield. The pasta is made in house, pizzas are brick oven and the flavors are phenomenal. Very cute ambiance and warm environment. We got the caccio di pepe and added blackened salmon, and our girls ordered fettuccine and the margarita pizza. All turned out great.

Excellent service by Taylor. Nice menu selection. We ordered several apps, which were all tasty. Entrees for our party of 4 were also very good. Bread was excellent. Add marinara. Cocktails were great. I'd go back, yes. I'd go back during this very short visit to Cincinnati, too.
