28 Best Italian Restaurants in Indianapolis

“Had an amazing waiter who was very attentive and answered all our questions. Food was amazing, possible the best pasta I've had in years. Prices was very very good for the quality and quantity of food. Would absolutely reccomend“

“Date night at Bocca never disappoints. My wife and I live near downtown, and it’s become one of our favorite spots. We grabbed seats at the bar last night, where Maritza proved she can shake a cocktail like nobody’s business. The carbonara is my go-to—hands down the best I’ve had this side of, well, Italy. The oysters are my favorite in Indy, always perfectly shucked, and the wine list makes me grin every time I spot my favorite Vermentino. You don’t have to be a neighbor to feel like one once you’re at Bocca!“

“5⭐️ Very friendly & accommodating staff“

“We went to Iozzo’s last month for our anniversary dinner. It was a truly memorable experience. The food was fantastic. Nice outdoor patio with a lovely fountain ⛲️ Our server, Jason, was terrific and very attentive. Chris, the manager, repeatedly checked on us. Now one of our all-time favorite restaurants. We plan to get back in the coming months. William Whitton Shirley Broyles“

“So good, all around. Great service. Excellent food.“

“Fazoli’s is STILL my favorite place to eat. The employees are always wonderful and the food is good and affordable. Spoke to Dexter again at the drive thru and he was sweet as always. This place really runs like a family and it shows in their attitude and service.“

“My husband and I went to Italy for our honeymoon and their food definitely took us back! The food was authentic, delicious, excelent service, and the chef was amazing and very heartwarming. If you love Italian fine dining food, this is the spot. Grazie mille 🇮🇹“

“My wife and I went here to celebrate our 10th year wedding anniversary and it was absolutely amazing. The restaurant is gorgeous and has a cool vibe, our host Chaz had outstanding customer service skills, the food was the bomb dot com. If you have never been to this place RUN‼️ We HIGHLY recommend it and you will not be disappointed. One of our favorite restaurants WAS Olive Garden and now our favorite 10 outta 10 spot is MaMa Carollas. We will definitely return at least once a month to enjoy some fresh and delicious food. The beef lasagne and Pasta Too Good were a hit. You can wear whatever you like, but I would definitely dress up next time we go for date night. Thank you for a lovely time to the staff.“

“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.“

“We are stuck at the knight terminal in indianapolis snowed in. Fazolis was the only place willing to supply over 30 truckers with food. Thank you so much for the wonderful food and being able to help us out during the storm. You guys rock! The pasta, salad, and sweet tea was lovely. Thank you times a million we were starving over here!“

“Outstanding service. Phenomenal food! From the bread/appetizers to the meal and tiramisu dessert 👌🏻 We were absolutely amazed by with every bite. I can’t wait to go back.“

“Good food good price friendly atmosphere“

“Thank you for the most amazing night. The chicken was the best I have ever had. Maria and your chef are extraordinary!“

“What a nice restaurant. Went there with my wife and grown children for dinner. Nice atmosphere and our waiter was very polite and helpful.
Everybody enjoyed their meal. We started with Calamari for an appetizer. My wife and I shared their Beat Salad. Wow! It was a nice well balanced portion with the right amount of dressing. Very well prepared.
My wife, Daughter-in-law and Son-in-law had the Rigatoni Bolognese. Looked scrumptious and they all said it was fantastic. They ate it all. My son and I had their Pesto Gnocchi. Very well done with great flavor. The only thing my son said that it might have been even better if it was a little more al dente. The texture was unbelievable and they actually melted in your mouth. My Daughter had the Chicken Marsala. She said it was phenomenal. Give them a try if you want a nice dining experience.
Next time in Indy we will go back. So glad we tried this place.“

“Iaria’s is incredible. The food is delicious and the service is first class all the way. Don’t miss it when you visit Indy.“

“Really good pasta just skimpy as usual on the salad. Your company has been doing this for at least 2 years.“

“We ordered a variety of foods because we had been given a gift certificate. Safe to say we'll have leftovers for days.
The Chicken Fettuccine was delicious, the sauce was thick and creamy and the chicken was tender. The Seafood Pizza was very good, creamy, and cheesy with crab meat.“

“Go Derrick! Very stand up person! Prompt, warm cheeful tone, and was able to serve our family with the ut most respect! He should be Olive Garden's standard on how to conduct yourselves when no one is looking!

Conversation struck forward when my husband complimented his necklace and leaned that he is also a follower of Christ. Great example of how we should be, Christ like!

Keep it up!!“

“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! 🤤😋“

“Not a bad place. Friendly staff. Good food.“

“Liberty, Jessica and I’m sorry I didn’t catch the most important girls name, but thank you so much for being so accommodating!! Best girls ever!! They deserve a raise!!“

“We came for lunch yesterday and the wait was 1 1/2 hours (Saturday before Mother’s Day) there were plenty of tables, just not enough servers, something I think all restaurants are suffering with right now. Olive Garden made the best decision in only seating what the wait staff could handle.. and because of that our server wasn’t overwhelmed or stressed and our service wasn’t compromised!! Kudos to the management for putting the employees who want to work first!! It was well worth the wait!! Servers keep up the good work!! Happy Mother’s Day!!“

“Love their food and can’t wait to return. Everything we had was delicious. Farmer’s Market salad was delicious and the pepperoni stick was so good.“

“This is a hotel restaurant at Wyndham hotel. It is a nice restaurant inside. When I went for breakfast they only had one server in the front. I would say for lunch and dinner they would have more servers. My breakfast burrito was delicious it hit the spot with enough spice. I noticed they also have a pool table there as well. They also have a wide range of spirits behind the bar as well!!!!!!!!!!“
