29 Best Italian Restaurants near Zionsville

“A very beautiful environment with friendly and helpful wait staff, but the food is just okay.I came here with a group of friends. I ordered their lavender French 75 cocktail, which was pretty good. A little too lemony, but with hints of lavender, bergamot, and floral gin which were nice.I also ordered the Pasta Roman, made with squid ink pasta, shrimp, and lobster. It was just okay. (Maybe I didn't look at the menu closely enough, but I expected it to come in an ink sauce. My mistake.) I felt like it was a pretty bland pasta in cream sauce with some seafood thrown on top. Nothing memorable.I thought it was just me, at first. However, the consensus in our group was that our food was missing something. Everything lacked depth and punch, in my opinion. My friend described it as under-seasoned. I think that's a fair assessment.Thanks for having us, but we won't return.“

“We went to Good Omen on a Sunday night following an IRT production. Because it was a Sunday night, the place was very quiet. There were three of us at our table and we were being ably assisted by Ashley. Ashley encouraged us to share various dishes. Also, she had read of my peculiar allergy and had discussed options with the chef before we got there. This allowed us to navigate the menu in safety. There was one dish that could have been problematic, but it was an optional ingredient and the chef was glad to leave it out. We were ordering as we ate so that we could figure out the next course without having to order all of the courses. At one point, Chef/Owner Nicholas came out to ask about a specific ingredient as it related to my allergy. At no restaurant ever anywhere have I had such attention paid to my allergy. All that said, every dish we shared was nothing short of outstanding. Chef Nicholas believes in the in the French/Italian way of cooking - cook what's fresh and local when possible. AND IT SHOWS IN THE FOOD! Highly recommended. We will be back.“

“I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the exceptional customer service at Zionsville Pizzeria, and I must say, Charlotte was truly outstanding. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of perfect.“

“It’s our tradition to treat the team to pizza after doing our deluxe cleaning service. We were hungry after working all day.The owner was so friendly, helpful and kind! We each got a pizza slice or calzone, and pepperoni breadsticks. The food was phenomenal! Tasted just like home made, if not better!!! So fresh, perfectly balanced and the crust was just absolutely perfect!!!We’ll definitely be coming back if we’re in the area! Highly recommend!“

“Love this place! Been here a few times, always been overly impressed. They went above and beyond to make a birthday celebration so much more memorable. One of my top five favorite places in the north Indy/carmel/Westfield area. Thank you for having us! We will be back.“

“I come to indy for work often, and I eat out every night. I've been to every Italian place in the area, some good, some well overrated, and this one is by far the best I've been to.Bruscetta 9/10Mussles 9/10Carbonara 8/10Linguini clams 10/10Tiramisu 11/10Espresso martini 11/10This is the real deal, you won't be disappointed.“

“We sat outside for the first patio day of the season. It was the perfect temperature, ambience, service, and food. The lobster Cacio e Pepe was exceptional. The truffle mozzarella sticks were a treat! The bolognese lasagna was good as always. The only complaint is the rolls were average but honestly everything otherwise was so phenomenal that it didn't disappoint our experience.“

“We were seated at a comfortable table in the bar area as soon as we arrived. Our server, Carlton (?) was prompt and efficient during our meal. We had vodka martinis before dinner, delicious, and the fried calamari for appetizer, also delicious, served with a nice marinara sauce. We shared a chopped salad, and the pizza was very good. I like their crust, it has a perfect amount of chewiness and bite with a good flavor from the wood-fired oven. We had the MaiaLeia (sp?) pizza and it was excellent. Just the right size to share at 13”. For dessert we had the tiramisu, also excellent. A great meal, a fun place to go for delicious pizza. Highly recommended!“

“You will be completely ensnared in the atmosphere here although if you get the choice to pick between the indoor and outdoor seating, pick the outdoor seating. The food was immaculate too I can’t even begin to describe how satisfied I am. I don’t even like tomatoes but this restaurants tomatoes are just different? A restaurant like this is a go-to not just for Italian, but for food. I would argue that even a poor waiting experience wouldn’t detract from your experience here but fortunately for us, we got Eric and Eric was unbelievably caring and attentive to us. We will be coming back soon, thank you“

“Highly recommend. Outstanding quality ingredients. Not only delicious and authentic, but easy on the stomach as they use high quality ingredients. Thank you. My husband and I enjoyed Chicken Parm sandwiches, Canoli, and took home for later: Amaretti, Sfogliatelle, pasta, and tomatoes . We will definitely be back. Thank you for providing superior quality.“

“Best Italian food in Carmel. Everything is made from scratch and the service was amazing. Very friendly staff. Will visit again before heading back to Phoenix. Thank you for a wonderful experience and evening.“

“This was a delightful find almost midway between or starting point in Wisconsin and Gatlinburg, TN. The food was packed with amazing flavor, and our server was attentive to our dining needs. The restaurant world needs more establishments like this ... providing great value for the price and above expected satisfaction for the palate.“

“We were In town for a baseball tournament trying to find a place to have dinner for our sons bday that’s tomorrow and randomly found this place and let me say best place I’ve ever been the owner came out welcomed us and made our son feel so special on his bday thank you so much again highly recommend best calzone and soda I’ve ever had !!“

“Great people and great pizza! Love that thin crust“

“We usually get pizza, but last time we were there I saw some pasta meals that sounded delicious, so had planned in advance to order our pizza to go (as we live too far away to frequent, we stock our freezer as to enjoy Lou's on a more regular basis). We shared an order of mozzarella sticks and a bowl of pasta with Lou's sausage and vodka sauce - an excellent decision.The place is decorated like an amusement park with a section of roller coaster track, so it's pretty fun. I only gave 4 stars for atmosphere because it seems to always be chilly in there.“

“Aesthetically pleasing. The bread and side oil as well as the Caesar salad was really good! The mussels were okay but not something I’d order again. My boyfriend got pizza and really enjoyed it. One thing I will say is because the pasta is cooked fresh, don’t come starving. We waited for quite some time and received room temp food. Not a huge fan of that. Overall, I’d revisit but nothing really wow’d me.“

“Really great food! Their pizza and chopped salad were wonderful! Good wine and great pumpkin goat cheesecake!“

“Good food good price friendly atmosphere“

“The original evening plan was for the Mrs. & I to play laser tag, but there was an hour wait until the next game.. what to do? Easy..eat of course! Tucci's was right around the corner & since we hadn't been in awhile.. why not? We hadn't been because even though they're pretty good, they had limited seafood selections, & we're pescatarian. Much to our surprise, they'd made some tasty additions to their menu since we were there last. The staff was friendly & actually remembered us from the last time we were there.. after playing laser tag..?With the cool atmosphere, & more for us to choose from on the menu now, we'll probably be back again sooner than later.. my best guess is.. it'll probably be the next time we go play laser tag..???Dietary restrictions: My wife has a few dietary restrictions, but they've always been more than willing to modify her dish to make sure it was to her liking.Parking: I've never had a problem finding free parking on the street or directly across the street in a big free lot.“

“This place has been on my list to try for a while and glad I got to check it out. Started with the Brussels sprouts and persimmon salad which they split in two plates for us. I chose the Cacio Pepe which is not the traditional plate you'd get at most other restaurants. It was not saucy-which the serve was sure to advise me of. It was good and plenty to take home for another meal. The pistachio cake was everything you'd want and more. Definitely get it! They have outdoor seating as well and it would be nice to do that on a summer evening.“

“Incredible pizza! Always amazing every time. The crust is immaculate. Even just a cheese pizza is so dang good. I was disappointed in the boneless wings though. The breading on them was very soggy and the buffalo sauce was very thin so didn't cover them well (saucy). We love the pizza, though, and will be getting it again.“

“So great! The flavors are fantastic, and the food is served hot hot hot. We had Vicki’s breadsticks filled with cheese, mushroom alfredo, and a giant pizza slice with ham and pineapple. The staff were so friendly and made great efforts to get us our food quickly and accurately. 10/10 recommend!Vegetarian options: Super easy to customize dishes or order vegetarian dishes. Love the number of veggies available! It’s more than spaghetti or typical pizza toppings.Parking: Was a little confused about parking initially, but there is a parking lot available in the back of the building that seems sufficient.Kid-friendliness: Easy to find all sorts of dishes for every palette. Kids menu available.“

“Been a customer for years. Pizza is very good but one consistent complaint. They do not get oven hot enough (wood fired) or do not cook long enough. I ask for well done and never gets there.Pasta/salads are good.Owner is from Sicily. My mother is from Sicily. The town next door. I know the food, it's good but more time on the pizza. I'm begging!“

“Good salad and pizza, we had the ultimate Warrior.“

“New favorite Brownsburg pizza joint. I’m super picky about crust and this crust was PERFECT! Toppings seemed like better quality than the other local competitors in my opinion. Salad was fresh and carbonara pasta was delicious. We tried the bourbon wings too and the flavor was amazing though the wings were slightly tough/over cooked maybe. Didn’t stop us from devouring them though. We will keep coming back to try more things!“

“Decided to try something new......pleasantly surprised!!!! I ordered the Aloha BBQ Chicken Pizza, cause pineapples DO GO ON PIZZA. I was told it would be about 45 minutes which was totally ok, no worries, I'll keep binging on Hulu. The driver arrived in about 30 minutes....excellent. I didn't get his name, but he was probably one of the BEST delivery people I have had in about a year. Super nice, cordial, told me how amazing Jet's Pizza is and even gave me a little history of the store. EXCELLENT customer service, EXCELLENT example of the store, EXCELLENT experience, and of course EXCELLENT PIZZA I'd show ya a picture but.......“

“Puccinis is our favorite go-to restaurant. So many wonderful memories have been made over delicious food at Puccini’s. I love that my kids get to experience a local spot with their friends (and my friends) and get that awesome hometown feel. There are two employees who *regularly* go above and beyond for us. They treat us so well and are always on top of everything we need before we can ask. Puccini’s days are the highlight of our week! My personal favorites are the sweet little razor back and the salads, the homemade ranch is great!“

“I will give it to them, the place smells good, the food tastes good, and service is great. This is one place I go to and there is never an issue. My order has always been correct. The spicy baked ziti with the sausage is killer and breadsticks like soft buttery pillows you can eat. I have not gotten a hard crusty breadstick from here yet and I’ve been going here for at least 4 years. Keep it up!“
