This place was so lovely. We called ahead for a reservation and we’re met with a nice little “reserved” plaque on our table. The waitress was sweet and quick and the food was spectacular. Easily the best place we’ve eaten in Fayetteville. The owner, Ernie, stopped by our table to say Hi and was so kind and funny. They need servers, so if any wait staff folks are looking for work they’re an awesome option!

Omg this place is AMAZING!!! The owners Arnie and Lisa are so fun and welcoming and the food is out of this world. I’ve eaten a lot of wonderful, high quality steaks and I can’t believe the meal I had was only $35. Every meal I’ve had comparable to that experience cost over $100 and didn’t include a delicious salad and garlic bread appetizer. The is a MUST GO! I live in Raleigh but will be back hopefully many times!

This establishment is ran by inadequate and unprofessional staff. Management does not want to discuss our terrible experience.

We ordered two dirty martinis that were not made correctly and tasted awful and we asked for a replacement and then was charged for them. It would be in their best interest to not offer to make any drink and then not being able to deliver quality but still expect a consumer to pay for it. What a shame. I hope for the sake of others who plan to have a drink at their bar they invest in some mixology training.

This is definitely one of the best restaurants that I have ever been to. I tend to travel to North Carolina a lot and I am always in search of great food. I was so pleased to find this hidden gem! The desserts are to die for. The ambience is amazing. The staff are wonderful. And IT IS AUTHENTIC ITALIAN food. I never thought I would find truly genuine authentic Italian food in Fayetteville, NC. Imagine my surprise to not only find this great restaurant with great food! I 100% recommend this place. Whenever, I am in Fayetteville, I will be sure to stop by Caruso...and so should you!

Absolutely amazing! Bruschetta was delicious and the lobster ravioli is a must. Staff was great and the owner made his presence! I’m usually critical but this place has broken the mold for me.

great place. look forward to the cheesecake

We arrived at 4:45pm to be sure we could get a table. We were greeted at the door perhaps by the owner who said without a reservation we could not be seated. Very disappointed. There was not sign nor could we find anything on the website that says reservations only. I have eaten there twice before and the food was very good (except the risotto, not great) and service so so.

Hands down the best Italian food in Fayetteville! This is a must try if in downtown Fayetteville.

I have seen a lot of restaurants come and go in Fayetteville. I hope that that this restaurant is around forever. First off the service was top-notch. There was a minor issue with my meal. And instead of them bringing me out the wrong thing the head of the restaurant came out herself to apologize for the mistake and let me know that they were remaking my mail from scratch. The food was amazing my wife had the filet and it melted in our mouth. I had the risotto and it was one of the best I've ever had. I cannot say enough about how amazing this bistro was, we will be going again and again and again. If you are looking for an upscale meal with a mom and pop kind of feel this is the place to be.
