This little Italian restaurant in El Paso is a true Central Illinois gem. An authentidc taste of Italy from a real Italian familiy. The owners, Giuseppe and Marianne Caruso, are both from Italy and tell me they moved here after getting married years ago. (Giuseppe goes by Joe). They picked El Paso because it reminded Joe of the little town where he was born back in Italy. Their three daughters help run the place. We didn't try anything but the pizza, but are ready to go back and sample other selections on the menu.
