Intimate atmosphere and wood-fired warmth at Villa Caruso, Surry Hills

Born in Italy.
Raised in Surry Hills.

Villa Caruso began with a singular obsession: bringing the slow, rhythmic soul of Southern Italy to Sydney. We believe in the luxury of time.

You’ll taste it in our 12-hour slow-cooked ragù and feel it in our hand-rolled pasta, prepared fresh every morning. Tucked away in Verona Lane, we offer more than a menu—we offer a sanctuary for those who appreciate wood-fired tradition and the perfect pour of Barolo.

Signature Dish

Pappardelle al Ragù

12-hour slow-cooked beef ragù, parmigiano reggiano. The definition of patience.
