Carusos Grocery is a love letter to the simple, classic, Italian-American restaurants that provided our fondest childhood memories of what a restaurant could be. In different ways and in different parts of the country, we each had our own, intimate experiences of the food and culture that Italian immigrants brought to their new home. As they became Americans, they changed and enriched America. We hope you'll join us in raising a glass to celebrate them and all of the immigrant communities who continue to enliven and enrich our shared culture and our experience of eating and drinking in this, their adopted home. Carusos Grocery is the culmination of a lifelong passion for Matt, having spent the better part of his culinary career focused on regional Italian cuisine and much of his free time traveling throughout Italy. Largely inspired by the restaurant his dad ran while growing up in upstate New York called Scoozi, Carusos is Matt's homage to generational Italian-American cooking. Matt has worked with top chefs such as the legendary Alain Ducasse and Michael White and has held top positions at Altamarea Group's Convivio, which was awarded a Michelin star and three stars from The New York Times, and Osteria Morini, which brought Matt to DC as the opening chef. Matt partnered with Neighborhood Restaurant Group on the development of The Roost and Carusos Grocery in 2019. Tom Sietsma of The Washington Post just called Carusos Grocery the best Italian American restaurant in Washington. Ann Limpert, food critic for The Washingtonian, named Carusos Shrimp Scampi one of the best dishes of 2022.
