Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Glendale

We absolutely love Caruso’s - it’s a gem and everything we’ve ever had or tried has been phenomenal. It’s an absolute must try, especially if you’re in the mood for homemade Italian. The Chicken Parmesan is fantastic, all of the pasta dishes are incredible (especially the Rigatoni Rustica and Linguine Scampi) and my wife tried the salmon last night and it was cooked perfectly and came with an amazing risotto. We’re working our way through the whole menu, but I honestly can’t stop ordering the Chicken Parmesan. Seriously, you need to put Caruso’s at the top of your list - it’s a contender for the best overall restaurant around!

Just okay. Busy for Christmas. No mushroom for my dinner that is included and not the proper veggies. They served lunch veggies for dinner.

I booked your restaurant for Christmas Eve. We had never been and I was really excited for a downtown view and good food. The service was slow. And the food, was good but not great. I think this seems like a good place for drinks and appetizers. We had the mussels, which were good. The chorizo is a bit much. We had the shrimp and scallops. The scallops were cooked perfectly. But, again with the chorizo which was overpowering. We also had the pork chops, very good but a large portion. My son had the salmon and it was good, probably the favorite meal out of the three. This is a lovely atmosphere and staff is friendly.

Adam was our server/bartender and he was great. The best Tangueray and tonic I’ve had in a long time . He was very attentive and pleasant. The food was absolutely amazing. Thanks again Jags Carla

Tonight was the evening before Christmas Eve. Everyone was in a festive mood. We met three friends we hadn’t seen in a while and everything was wonderful. My second time at Meritage this month.
