This place is an annual stop for my family. My family comes here every year after we visit my grandparents at Calvary Cemetery. So this place has meaning for my family. We love the food but the service is what brings us back!! This is the place we had Blanton's for the first time. And the best Fettuccine Alfredo. But let's be honest, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Our server tonight was fantastic and made it memorable. Thank you, Gregory!!

I traveled to Indianapolis on a business trip and stayed in the downtown area. The person who checked me in suggested Iozzo’s when I asked for dinner recommendations. Once I got to my room I made reservations for 1 person at 5 o’clock, it was around 4:00 at the time. It’s easy to do on the Open Table app. Parking is not hard, you just need to drive around to the back and there’s multiple areas to park. The hostesses are very kind and helpful. It seems that everyone who works there gets along so well and has great respect for each other. They work as a team. Wayne was my waiter for the evening and he was kind, knowable and a great host. He checked in and also explained each course that was brought out. The food was exceptional. Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. I had the calamari for my appetizer and the ricotta gnocchi for my entree. If you don’t know what to get, I highly suggest the ricotta gnocchi. I could have ordered two of those it was so good. Great portion sizes, but I was stuffed by the end. I sadly didn’t order dessert, but I’ve already told my husband if I ever go back I will be going there first and next time ordering some dessert. This restaurant deserves five stars and I would happily go back.Parking: Parking is not hard to find. They are doing construction in front, but just go around back to find the entrance to their parking lot. I

Three of us did Sunday night early dinner and decided to share quite a few items. We started with the Basil Garlic Cheese bread and the Meatball Martini. The server was very nice and informative. The drinks were a Riesling, a pour of Bourbon, and a lemon drop martini. I love that they use their homemade limoncello in it. The garlic bread was crispy and cheesy. I enjoyed the sauce that came with it. The meatballs were just standard. Nothing to shout about. The salad on the other hand is one of my favorite things. The lemon vinaigrette is so yummy. Since we ordered 5 entrees we got one salad and one soup(extra), which was Italian Wedding Soup to eat. I asked for the other 3 salads to be packaged to go so I can eat them for lunches this week. The server actually packaged 4 salads which was awesome. When the entrees showed up everything tasted really nice. The piccata pasta was a bit heavy in the lemon. I loved the short rib Ragu. The diavolo sauce was the most popular but definitely had a kick. If you are iffy on spice skip this one. I also enjoyed the vodka sauce. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we were too full for dessert. The bill came and we forgot to order a shot of limoncello. Our server was gracious enough to bring us a shot. Overall a solid Italian meal. We will return and I hope one day they will have the gnocchi on the menu with the brown butter sage sauce. Such an amazing dish. Iozzo's I hope you are listening

I took my wife on a date night to Iozzo’s.The atmosphere is great. It took me back to Brooklyn, NY. It’s a small space but it’s very inviting and charming. We had the burrata and bread as an appetizer. That was delicious. The Ricotta gnocchi with mushrooms was so good. Highly recommended. Make sure you make reservations. Enjoy!

I wish I could remember our server's name (black hair and glasses)- he was the one of most thoughtful and kind servers I've ever had! The service was timely and consistent even though the restaurant was busy, and I was extremely impressed. The ambiance was welcoming, quaint, and perfect for date night. We ordered the garlic cheesy bread as our appetizer, which we LOVED. I would not recommend it if you prefer crispier bread, as it was softer, but it was not soggy! Our server brought out house made focaccia bread with tomato's and olive oil as a surprise, and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Caesar and Caprese salads. The Caprese salad was our favorite, with a wonderful ratio between the mozzarella and vegetables. The crab ravioli was tasty although a bit one-dimensional. The ricotta gnocchi is a MUST ORDER with the filet tender and cooked to perfection. Both dishes were plated beautifully! I personally would not order the tiramisu cheesecake again- it was a very rich and sweet dessert. It did not complement the rest of our meals. Overall, a wonderful experience. I can't wait to come back:)

I can't express how delightful Iozzo's is. I'm always extremely satisfied with their food, drinks, and desserts. Top tier Italian from a local family. It checks all the boxes.

Amazing food, great attentive service. A true elegant dining experience with expertly crafted classic Italian dishes. Be prepared to spend $$$, but expect a meal that is worth the price tag.

First time visiting, we went for lunch and we were not disappointed. The calimari was better than most ocean-side restaurants, absolutely fantastic. The aoili and marinara sauces were great. The basil garlic cheese bread was also so flavorful. We had the ceasar salad and Italian Wedding soup for our main course and they were both so fresh and delicious. Cannot wait to go back. Did not catch our servers name, but she was a shorter blonde haired girl in the bar and her service was spot on. Very friendly and personable. Thank you for a great experience!
