About Us To describe Caruso's in one word is impossible. Amazing, Breathtaking, Romantic and Affordable all come to mind but Chef Pasquale Caruso would be pleased with any compliment. As Lake Norman Magazine put it, "We were very impressed with the decor. They have taken a small space and transformed it into a very elegant, and intimate restaurant. There is a definite contemporary flair in the decor as well as in the table settings. Beautiful in every way." A native of Naples, Italy Chef Caruso brings over 40 years of culinary experience and has been teaching his stepson Erbey Godino the tricks of the trade now for years. Chef has prepared outstanding meals from NYC, New Jersey to Charlotte. And you'll taste every aspect of that in his art. From his Lasagna Bolognese to oven roasted Chilean Seabass, there is always something unique at Caruso's. Chef insists on dishes you can't find anywhere else. "We try to be a little different and a little better everyday." says Mr. Caruso. One of a kind and truly a true diamond in the rough. Boun Appetito!
