There were rats running around the drop ceiling right above the tables. The food is mediocre and the wine are expensive. The ambiance is dark and stale.

The owner of CARUSO, Mr. Mina, is so generous. He gave us a shot of grappa each, and we tried their home-made lemonciello, and we also got a bag of cookies for the kids. The food is highly recommended. It was amazing.

Came here on an Italian expat's recommendation for authentic Italian pizza, the best pizza place and Italian restaurant he could find in the Philippines. Showed up without a reservation but nobody cared because the restaurant was empty, and service was a little slow even when...it was only half full. Margherita Pizza, Mozzarella Bufala Pizza and Gnocchi/Gnochetta are great. Bolognese spaghetti is okay, nothing special like back home in the West or the U.S. Praline nougat ice cream is overpriced and abysmally small. Fried Calamari was okay, the grilled salmon and spinach were good but overpriced. The bread and olive oil dip were excellent. I'd give the pizza a 7/10 from what I've tasted here in the country; it was good, I liked it, I'd order it again, but it seemed overpriced nonetheless. Yeah, I'll eat here again. Spent around $197 in total for 5 people and 1 child.More

We visited Caruso for lunch. The food was great. The pasta and ravioli were very tasty so does the bruscheta. The Rocula Salad was not great but overall the food was great. Nevertheless the ambiance in the restaurant is something that can be improved the...restaurant has a non please to smell and the toilets were not clean.More

We had a happy Easter lunch at Caruso! We especially like the spaghetti soglio al pomodoro and the ravioli. Caruso is a charming and long-standing restaurant in Makati city. Price is on the higher end though it is a must-try experience!

We have been there several times during our stay in Manila and made it our go-to place. There’s a very friendly atmosphere, food is very good and service is up to level. More than that, there is often vey good music as well. Emilio, the...charismatic owner, jumps to sing some old Italian classics and everybody at the table starts singing with him. And on a couple of occasions there were guest singers of high quality!! This place is memorableMore

Typical Italian vibes & delicious italian food I was craving for Italian dishes during my stay at Manila, wasn’t expected to have such delicious pasta & Burrata. I meat the owner of this place he was so generous he offered me sachez chochotte cake originally...from Italy 🇮🇹 I had a wonderful time so touched with the restaurant owner’s love 💕 story and how he meats his beloved one 20 year back and decided to be with her & start his own restaurant in the heart of Makati.More
