Caruso Italian Restaurant

Pricey place but you get what you pay for. Food was good and service was great. I had the pasta with a sauce that was like a ragu. Pasta was delicious and cooked as it should be. Kitchen was a little slow on the weekday night we visited but apparently, they had equipment failure that day. Place was packed for a weekday night so I think that's a testament as to how good their good is.

Service is good but food is quite bad. The staff are really friendly and accommodating. Steak was not tasty, just chewy and slimy. The mushrooms didn’t do much to improve the flavour whatsoever. Pizza was just ok. Toppings is your usual fare and the pizza dough is flavourless. The caprese with Parma harm was questionable. The ham was good (I guess because it’s not made in house), but the cheese was really gross. It was watery and sour. It didn’t taste off, but just low quality cheese. The worst one was the gnocchi. On the menu it sounded great, with blue cheese sauce and walnuts. The sauce itself was not bad. But oh my god… the gnocchi pasta was awful. It tasted like play dough. No salt added whatsoever so it just tasted like chewy plain dough. I don’t even think they salted their pasta water because it was so bland. I also think it was undercooked because the texture was so mushy and unlike properly cooked gnocchi. Food was also pricier than other Italian places in the area. Giving 2 stars for the staff, otherwise the food itself is 1/5 stars.

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful dinner experience here since their service and food quality was equally great. We tried several dishes and i must say they were all excellent but must admit its quite pricey. We had the caprese for starter followed by ravioli, roasted lamb, and lasagna for mains and also a glass of red wine for the drinks. We finished our meal with their dessert called tortino al cioccolato. Surely we will visit again 😊.

Second time at Caruso and personally, they serve the best Italian food in Singapore so far. The octopus salad was really authentic, the closest to what I had back in Italy. Spaghetti alle vongole was simply divine, clams were really fresh. I had te seafood marinara the other day and it was to die for. Great service too. Will definitely be back.
