2011 Christmas Menu

We are pleased to announce that the 2011 Christmas Menu is now available. The menu includes a great selection of meat, seafood, and vegetarian options and at just £19.90 per person for three courses it represents outstanding value for money.

The Christmas menu will be served in the evenings from Thursday 3rd November until the New Year and will completely replace our usual Party Menu. Please note that for parties of ten or more we can only supply one bill to the table at the end of your meal. Your cooperation is appreciated at this busy time.

Art at Caffé Caruso

The more observant amongst our regulars may have noticed that Marco has been making a few changes around the walls. In addition to La Belle Ferronière which has been with us for a little while, we now have a contemporary work depicting a typical Italian piazza in Florence.

We would be interested to hear what people think of the pictures. If you have any comments or suggestions, look for the under-lined "comments" link at the bottom of this article, and leave a comment on Blogger, or send us an e-mail to enquiries@caffecaruso.co.uk.

New Coffee Cups

Here at Caffé Caruso we always strive to bring you the best tasting authentic Italian coffeee. Now you can have your coffee in the best Italian style too. Our new "own brand" coffee cups now feature the same Enrico Caruso logo that we use on our menus and signs.

Latest Nick Giles Charity Cycle News

A few years ago, we mentioned ex-professional cyclist Nick Giles's efforts to raise money for the Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund with his "Toe-2-Toe" charity cycle ride.

Now Nick has a new challenge called "Tip-2-Tip". He is hoping to cycle from San Roque(the Tip of Spain) to John O'Groats(the Tip of the UK) via Valencia and Lands End, a total of 3800km(2400miles).

However, all this is only in the provisional stages at present because everything depends on obtaining sufficient sponsorship for the trip. If you can help with this, or think you know someone else who can, then please contact Nick via his website.


Read more about Nick, the "Tip2Tip" project, his cycling career, and his motivation for doing these rides, by visiting his website www.nickgileschallenge.com.

Illuminated Sign

These are just a few photos of our new illuminated sign. The sign is visible from Buttermarket Street and hopefully will make it easier for new visitors to find us in the evenings.

New Signs

Sign-makers were hard at work outside Caffé Caruso today, installing our new illuminated sign. When the power is connected later this week we hope that both new and returning customers will find their way to us more easily.
