Been a local favorite for years and years. Celebrated many special occasions over the years here. Couldn’t say more great things. The staff, the food, the atmosphere. Hope this place stays in Mooresville for years to come

If you have had dinner at an authentic Italian restaurant in the Northeast, all professional wait staff, real Italian cuisine - Caruso's is that place here in Mooresville. Hands down, best Italian food and service outside NY/NJ. Fuggetaboutit! And the best kept little secret, children are not allowed! Brilliant!

This group doesn't use OpenTable so I'm posting here. Been coming here about 10 years, food and drink always excellent. Lately the service has accelerated to another level with John, a professional waiter from New York. He is by far the best waiter in this area. We had a memorable experience with him tonight.A pet peeve/concern of mine is the amateur level of service around LKN. Smiling and being friendly isn't service. It's sometimes embarrassing taking friends from out of town, or business clientele, out to eat. For $100+ dollars per person I'd rather have John over anyone else.If you are a new guest, John tells the story of the chef's journey from Italy to New York(becoming a Master Chef in the culinary Capital), and then here. This weaving of a tale continues through presentation of the bread, menu descriptions (dessert descriptions omg!), and attention to mis en place(he masters this) from beginning to end. Again, that level of service just elevated the whole experience to another place. Props to Caruso's for not resting on their laurels and working hard to stay on top of their competition.

This was my first visit to Caruso's, and everything was stellar. Good Italian food can be hard to find, but I found it here. I even had a chat with the Mr Caruso himself and it's clear that he takes pride in his work. I will be returning for more.

Food quality in NO way justifies this very pricey restaurant. Veal scallopini tasted like cardboard smothered in sauce. any local pizza joint does better all around.

Amazing is the best word I can think of to accurately describe our experience at Caruso's. The service was beyond excellent and the "main event" was incredible! From the crab cake appetizer, the bread, to the entrees and of course the tiramisu was delicious.It's upscale dining in an unsuspecting place. We'll definitely be back.
Absolutely the best Italian restaurant in Mooresville. Reservations are a must. Service and food were superb. The atmosphere was romantic.

Pretty disgusted to say the absolute LEAST. After having our date night plans change due to some child care scheduling issues we decided to attempt a family date night and keep our reservations for Carusos. We walk in with our 5 year old and are immediately greeted by “SORRY OUR OWNER DOESNT ALLOW KIDS UNDER 6”Ok. Hi to you too. You should probably update your website and communicate that KEY PIECE OF INFO to your potential diners. We will never be going back. What extreme pick for a place that is in a grocery strip mall. No wonder I’ve never heard of it before.There’s ways to treat people and there’s ways to not and that was NOT it.

Delicious food, quiet low lighting atmosphere. Food and wine is a bit pricey but worth it!
