One Star: High quality cooking
Located within the posh Rosewood Miramar Beach and fronting the Pacific Ocean, Caruso's has an enviable location. The dining room is beautifully set with leather booths, linen-robed tables, and white chairs, but make no mistake: Chef Massimo Falsini's seasonally driven, seafood-forward, and Italian-leaning prix-fixe takes center stage. From Santa Barbara uni sourced from a local diver to produce grown in the restaurant's onsite garden, there is a strong commitment to regional products, evidenced in dishes like pasta with diced abalone and halved Santa Barbara spot prawns topped with uni in a rich and creamy ramp sauce. Desserts are especially enticing, as in the "S like Strawberry" with a ring of pasta frolla filled with rhubarb sauce, mascarpone, and perfectly ripe strawberries.
MICHELIN Green Star
"We have a comprehensive program of local sourcing; our Garde Manger program is supported by our vegetable garden and the honey for the restaurant is produced in house from our bees; 90% of the seafood is local and sustainably sourced."
