The Best Restaurants In Capitol Hill - Washington DC - The Infatuation

"There's nothing like a place where you can joyfully shout across the table and maybe spill tomato sauce on your new white shirt, and that’s why we come to Caruso’s Grocery. The always-busy Italian-American restaurant is inspired by old-school spots that peddled everything from parm to prosciutto and served heaping plates of pasta in the center of it all. Caruso’s plays up its affection for them with black-and-white photos lining the walls, tables tightly packed together, and a bar stocked with affordable red wines. Expect a menu full of comfort meals, like saucy pork meatballs, sides of spaghetti marinara, and warm garlic bread." - madeline weinfield
