Erm you upset or rather disappointed my wife, is the main issue for me. I think the front of house were pretty much top notch. Great playlist, comfy seating and warm atmosphere. Also served swiftly and in a friendly welcoming manner. & Decent prices for what should be.No problems with the staff I saw at all, a shame for them because of the lesser seen institutional problems with some old badly cooked/heated food. A strange smell coming from one of the drinks like a cleaning chemical residue in the dishwashing. If one thing didn't make us unwell maybe another would instead.It's either the chefs or their boss mainly in our crosshairs. Whoever makes their decisions or QC.Admittedly walking in, the food on nearby table looked totally fine and was being consumed with vigor. We got a bit surprised by what got set down. Perhaps it was just a really duff one-off but I can see some familiar complaints in the bad reviews. ~Unfortunately for you we got put off, didn't want any replacements, to be Karen & give you a chance to put things belatedly right. Some of these mistakes I really don't think should leave your kitchen. Hope you can sort some of this out for your sake.

Caruso is like eating in an Italian's kitchen dining room with family cooking the food. I took my tween and teenager there for the second time for my husbands and my anniversary dinner, and it was very special.The fillet and king prawns dish is the highlight of the menu (to me) and worth every pound. The parmasan of whatever version you choose is very good. The best place to eat a local classic, enjoyed by young and old.Caruso has an extensive happy hour menu and a very generous two hour slot every day.It's an all-around family favourite to dine there.Unfortunately, there are no photos this time as I was in the flow of enjoyment to remember that I could review this delight if I wanted to.Parking: With a little walk to the restaurant, parking is free a little down the road.Kid-friendliness: The restaurant is very child friendly and has a lovely family feel.

The best parmo we've ever had! Absolutely lush, also 3 people mains, drinks and a dessert 44 quid! We'll definitely be back. Had parmos in apparently "the best" but this place knocks them out of the park.

First time coming here as my wife had been before a long time ago with her family and they suggested it. Not disappointed at all, atmosphere was lovely, the owner came over for a chat, which was a personal touch and the food was so, so good. What a pleasure to go and experience this with the family; the kids had a blast and the waitresses couldn’t do enough to make sure they were looked after and happy. Thoroughly enjoyed it and it was a nice, genuine, feel good restaurant with a really nice owner and food to match! Will be coming back although we live 380 mile away!
