Ordered a large pizza with half sausage, reminds me of a Sicilian without the crispy crust cut in squares although it round and not cooked is a pan from what I could see. Very efficient and cooked quickly, friendly service. This issue I see these days is for some reason they think loading tons of cheese makes a better pizza rather it's the crust and sauce that makes a great pizza. The sauce was just ok and the sausage was sparse. Have not tried others in the area so hard to compare. Tough to find good pizza anywhere outsize of NY and NJ but still searching....

We also had their lasagna, meatballs, and garlic rolls. All were delicious as was the salad with their house made Italian dressing. Their crust and sauce and made in house and baked in a brick oven for that great NY style crust. The sauce was excellent and whatever cheese blend they use was perfect. We only got a 12" pizza for the two of us since we got so much more and there is still two pieces left. My wife loved the lasagna and liked the pizza as well. I thought both were delicious. I'll keep the pizza for lunch tomorrow and my wife will take the other half of the lasagna with her to work. Super clean inside and the staff were very friendly.

I quickly proceeded to All8Up Pizza, beside the Pinball Garage. I ordered 4 potato skins. They have a choice of 2 or 4. I thought that was odd to only have those choices but once I received my order, I quickly realized why. Their skins are oversized. I had never seen potato skins that large. I could only eat 2. You can choose between standard bacon or chicken on top. I opted for the traditional bacon and it did not disappoint. What a delight. My son ordered a small sausage pizza that came out piping hot and fresh. He said it was delish and would order again. If you're wanting to ditch the big chain pizza shops and go local, All8Up is sure to quench your pizza hunger.

This was my choice for my birthday dinner and it was a good one. Service was top notch. Genuine smiles from the hostess, waitress, and the man who brought the warm bread basket. The waitress was cheerful, communicative, and she timed everything just right so the meal was perfect in every way including pace. The cocktails are works of art and well worth the prices (which are not above average). I included a picture of the two that we enjoyed. We got the arancini appetizer but asked for the peppercorn ranch on the side...which is my recommendation. It's actually very tasty and peppery and I think I'd love it on a salad. The arancini were excellent, golden brown and nicely put together. My husband had filet mignon done to perfect medium rare and I furthered my Italian food fix with the Campanelle Salsiccie. Sausage gravy was delicious though I thought there was a little too much sauce. House made pasta. Fresh grated Parmigiano cheese was a lovely addition. I took half my pasta dish home as I was so full. Generous portion! And, they knew it was my birthday and presented a complimentary tiramisu which was nice and light and so good. I hope to be back before too long. Great place for a very fine meal, and highly recommended.

Updating my review because I just had the dreamiest experience at Caruso's Ristorante and Bar. If I…read morehad a limited number of 10/5 star review reviews to hand out, they would get one. Myself, my husband, our 11 month old baby, and two of our sisters went out for dinner to celebrate mine and my babys birthdays, which are next week. We knew we needed a bit more space than usual since the baby's highchair and belongings take up some space, and the hostess and Manager were accommodating and kind as they offered us several different tables until we found one that worked, even though it was a Saturday night and they were booked with reservations. We ended up sitting in the enclosed back patio, which was nice and brighter than where we had sat before. Our server, Megan, introduced herself and was so kind and personable that we knew we were about to have great service. We started with bread service, because for $3.50 you get unlimited 16 bricks spread and whipped butter and olive oil. It comes out hot and is just really great bread. Last time I visited, I tried the mussels and I loved the saffron broth so much. I thought to myself that I would like to add some plain pasta to whatever broth was left. So this time, I ordered the muscles and I asked the server about getting plain noodles, and she said I wasn't the first person to request that, so the chef prepared the dish on top of a pile of their house made fettuccine noodles. It was really delicious with all of the fresh chopped garlic. My husband got the Cacio E Pepe and loved it. About 2/3 of the way through, he got full and said he should probably take it home, but it was too good to stop, so he ended up finishing every last bite. My sister got the chicken Parmesan with a side of Alfredo sauce. She loved it! We all tried the Alfredo sauce and agreed that while it is super rich, it was spot on. We all ended up dipping bread in it and adding some to our dishes. I think I will have to try the fettuccine Alfredo dish sometime. My other sister ordered the veggie pasta which comes with vegan noodles. The server made sure that she wanted the vegan noodles and not the regular, but my sister ended up swapping for the regular pasta since she has a pasta fanatic and knows they have really good housemaid pasta. She enjoyed her dish as well. Megan checked on us several times throughout the night and made pleasant conversation. She also complimented my baby for being super cute, which every mom wants to hear. We were honestly already having a great night when Megan offered to bring us bread to go and boxed up all of our leftovers for us. But then she took things up one more notch when she brought me and my baby birthday desserts because she heard me mention that I am breast-feeding and she is a mother too with a baby similar in age to mine, so she empathizes with how hard of a journey it is. My baby is turning one in a week, and his dad and I haven't given him sugar yet... Until tonight. Megan truly created the most magical moment for us to give him his first taste of a true sweet treat. We sang him happy birthday for the very first time and helped him blow out his first candle. It is no surprise that he absolutely loved the whipped cream we gave him. This was our first time celebrating our babies's birthday, and our nearly shared birthday, and Megan truly made it one to remember. Thanks for the core memory, Caruso's. We will be back.
