“First things first- I’ve been to Italy and had “real” pasta AND pasta is not usually my first choice. In fact I probably have it twice a year. BUT THIS… Was. So. Good. Highly recommend the pesto ravioli, sausage pasta, Parmesan garlic toast, and shrimp fondue. Service was great and restaurant was a cute vibe, which feels as important as the food itself.“

“I recently dined at Vito Provolone’s and it was an absolute delight! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with the aroma of fresh garlic and basil filling the air. The pasta was perfectly cooked—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made in-house. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Don’t miss the tiramisu—it’s light, creamy, and the perfect way to end the meal. A true taste of Italy right here in town!“

“Outdoor and indoor seating. We were seated immediately. We ordered the bread service and rice croquettes w/cheese and beef for appetizers. For entrees, Whole Branzino , Gnoochi w/ a creamy basil sauce with chicken, and Shrimp Scampi. Great flavors, appreciated the Italian vegetables served as a side dish.“

“My husband and I were celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary. Our very first date was at OG, so we love to order from there on our day. We decided to try the new delivery option available on the website, and after waiting an hour and a half for Uber to try to get their act together, Uber canceled our order. I immediately called OG to explain what happened and to see what could be done. The GM, Nicole, was absolutely amazing! She was very upset that the delivery was messed up and did everything she could to find out what happened. She explained she was going to drive the order to us herself. She lived near our hotel and wanted to be sure we got dinner being it was already 9pm on a Saturday night. I was almost in tears. I then explained that she was saving our anniversary dinner. When she had our entire order remade, she packed a few extra goodies and included a little note wishing us a Happy Anniversary. This woman knows customer service! I encourage everyone to go to the 82nd St location in Indy.“

“Absolutely DELICIOUS! This is one of our favorite pizza places. The meat lovers w/ Prosciutto pizza is our fav! Make sure to also get the bianca focaccia cheesy bread and add garlic to it! 🤤😋“
