45 Best Italian Restaurants near Speedway

“Great pizza. Authenic NY style. Friendly servers. Wish they would put their entire menu on FB or on their website (not just parts of it).“

“My wife and I have been long time wine club members so long that we have gotten to know all of the many mgrs ( and there have been a lot of them over a very short amount of time) the grad operation have become shorter and unpredictable and quite frankly we have wonder why or how It has stayed open for the past 4 years???? But we remained as wine club members because Foyt liters the best wine and we just love it! Recently came in to pick up our quartile bottles and where told we had already picked them up? This was impossible simply because the time when we were coming by they literally didn’t have any of the wines that we like? Not even for sale by the glass……. We told the lady that was there taking care of things ( whom we had never seen) and we where blown off for better yet made to feel we where trying to get over on them???? We were so offended!!!!! After tickets the winery all these years through what has obviously been hard times for them to be treelike that was the last straw!!! We went in last week to get our wine for this quarter and just call it quits and get rid of our mentor all these years and we were met with the new mgr Jenn. She was so pricey and classy and took the time to verities we were long time members !!!! She did what shocked us and provided us with most of the bottles that we were supposed to have two quarters ago and our new order!!!!! She had no idea we would be canceling our membership and that’s what made us stay and keep our membership!!!! She was a very refreshing thing to see !!!! A mgr first of all and one that looked to take care of what one would think is their most critical people the wine club members!!!!! Foyt has the best wine anywhere!!!!! I’m convinced the two who run the operation could care less about it doing good business since they don’t have any skin in it and it shows! They have the best wine that’s made by the Indy 500 greatest champion ( their) grandfather and it feels like this place is barely an afterthought for them. They never have a presence there and clearly don’t need it to be successful. But at least I can say that they found a great hire to steer the ship for them as Jenn was amazing as she manages , served and handled everything by herself on a Saturday with grace and class!!!!“

“Wonderful food Beautiful atmosphere Great service Lovely place for date night“

“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!“

“Celebrated our son's birthday. Our daughter who is vegan was with us. They were very accommodating to her dietary restrictions. Holly our server was so helpful finding out any info we needed and assisting everyone. Thank you for a great dining experience.“

“Homey but upscale atmosphere at the same time. Quite busy when I went but they fit us in even tho our reservation was for the wrong time. The complimentary bread had a wonderfully crunchy crust. The eggplant and portabello mushroom spaghetti with capers and green and black olives was unlike anything I’ve had before—what fun to try something new! It was so flavorful! And the portion size lasted for two meals. Would get again.“

“Oh my! This place is wonderful: the service, the wine recommendation, the food, it was all phenomenal! Great place for a date night or special occasion. We will be back.“

“I really like this place. There were many authentic Italian options to chose from. Me and my family found out that the pizza baked spaghetti was back so we tried it and it was AMAZING! Their Alfredo was actually god and the bread sticks were seasoned well. All the servers were very nice and the food came out quick. An improvement for this place is that this place can be decorated a little bit better but it was good. Overall, this place is the best for people who love Italian food. It was a worthwhile visit. Next time I come to Indiana, I will come to this Italian place again.“

“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.“

“Last night my wife and I decided to do a quick date night and popped in to this lovely place! Although we had a slight issue with one of our meals Jimmy did an amazing job taking care of everything with quickness, kindness and an amazing attitude. Honestly his service made the night that much better.“

“This place was the perfect find. We parked by Victory field for an Indianas game and will be walking back down the Canal and this spot is perfect! Smoothies delicious, pasta amazing, and the fried ravioli was gone within 10 seconds of it being placed down. Great place and would recommend again to other many times!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Phenomenal food and service!!!“

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

“The outside does not do this place justice. I'd categorize it as slightly upscale Italian. Inside is middle tier classy. Perfect for date night and celebrations. Food was delicious with the main dishes mostly starting at the $20 range. Ceaser salad was one of the best I have ever had. Garlic cheese bread is on the garlic-y side but we like it that way. Meatball dish was chefs kiss. We asked the waiter for wine selection recommendation and were super helpful. Wait staff was attentive.“

“The food and the server who attended to us were excellent; however, the hostess was on her phone the entire time, which struck me as unprofessional. Furthermore, when we first arrived and were being shown to our table, she was eating; I would assume employees should have a designated break time or something similar for meals, rather than eating during work hours.“

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

“The manager herself brought our meals and asked if everything was good and stopped by our table several times to make sure we didn’t need anything. We had some take-home and she brought us two more breadsticks to take home with our left-overs. She was very personable and not only took our order but walked the dining area to ensure all customers were served. Food was delicious and plenty to eat. We will return.“

“Details make a huge difference in taste. Bruschetta was the best I’ve had in the US. Crispy bread and flavorful tomato topping is harder to achieve than you might think. Ravioli and pork chop were delightful. We are adding to our list of favorites“

“I ate here since I was staying at the Wyndham. This is the in house restaurant. I initially did not have high expectations for how it would go because it took a few minutes for anyone to come to the host stand, and when they did, they said they had gotten “a little busy” (despite the place not appearing anywhere near full) and suggested I sit at the bar for better service. So I did, and it was very smooth from there. My bartender was excellent, attentive and warm but not at all overbearing. Food didn’t take too long either. I think I was in and out with a drink, entree, and dessert within an hour.
I got the Overhead Light cocktail to drink (Beefeater gin, crème de violette, maraschino liqueur). I usually get beer when I drink but this cocktail sounded good, and I did not regret my choice. Very floral and very strong.
I had the grilled salmon entree and cheesecake chimichanga for dessert. I really liked the sweet chili glaze on the salmon. Everything was cooked well. The dish as a whole could have used more seasoning, but it was easily redeemable with some black pepper. The rice pilaf was more flavorful than it looked - it tasted like there was parmesan cheese in there which made it pleasantly creamy. The cheesecake chimichanga was also great. It looks expensive, but it is a large portion that would be ideal to share even if I did manage to clear the plate by myself. I loved the crispy wraps with the cream cheese and strawberry sauce inside, and it actually wasn’t too overwhelmingly sweet.
Prices seem to run a little high. I thought the price for my entree was fair, and other entrees seemed to also be reasonably priced for what they were, but the drinks and desserts were expensive than expected.
It was really loud inside even though the place was only about half full. It didn’t help that the Wyndham lobby also had a loud group in it and the sound carried. The place would greatly benefit from some sound panels in the ceiling or on the walls. It’s an exposed ceiling and all hard surfaces and sound just bounces around.
I wouldn’t say the food was anything to write home about and probably wouldn’t recommend it if you’re local since Indy has plenty of more impressive eateries at this price point, but if you’re staying at one of the airport hotels and want somewhere convenient but classy, this might be your place.“

“I have been looking for a great pizza place in Brownsburg for a while now. This is it! Our family loves their pizza!“

“My wife and I like to just take off to a random town close and visit a Resteraunt that is not a chain Resteraunt . So Italian exceeded all of the expectations we had . Service from staff was on point and friendly . Menu was easy to navigate . Food was awesome !! Definitely a 10 out of 10 on all levels . Will be recommending and visiting again .“

“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!!“

“When we come into Indy for the Indy mini half marathon, we always stay at the same hotel over by Nonna‘s so Italian so we could get our carbs in the night before. Well, this last weekend we were there for a family wedding and we ordered a pizza ahead so we could have it when we got to the hotel. It was all perfect till I got to the hotel and they called me to tell me we received the wrong pizza two people with the same last name ordered at the same time. They were so gracious and let us keep the pizza we had even though it was probably more expensive than what we had ordered, but we didn’t have much time to wait or return it. So gracious of them to make it so easy on us and let me tell you that pizza was delicious.“

“The best pizza in the country!! I really love this place!!“

“We love coming here, but we just notice when we come with all my family we are like 10 and they notice we speak Spanish they send a server that speaks Spanish..we also know English we don’t need a translator and I wouldn’t be making this if it didn’t bother me that said servers make faces at us we never asked for a server that knows Spanish to serve us. They make faces at us or we hear them complain 1st of all we never asked for you don’t gloat yourself when we don’t even need you. next time you see a Hispanic looking family don’t send someone that speaks Spanish unless they asked for them. Also we always leave a good tip this last time this happened the person didn’t even do a job didn’t comeback to give refills or even bread we saw other tables getting a lot of bread we always give good tip if you do a good job when we get a white or black server they always do a good not thinking we won’t tip because we are Hispanic I know that stereotype that we don’t give tip.
Also I almost forgot this server was so bad somebody else came to ask us if someone was already helping us took time to come and take our order.“

“Girrrrrrrrrl. Walk, run, sprint to get this tiramisu ❤️“

“Excellent food and drinks“

“Love their breadsticks. Got the budzza(stuffed pizza) for the first time last night. Two slices and one breadstick and I was so full I could barely walk back to the car. Price isn’t bad either. I spent less on the pizza, full order of sticks and 3 drinks than I did at Taco Bell.“

“Here from DC and wish we had this place!

Tried the roasted pork sandwich which was excellent, not too spicy but juicy and with flavor. Bread is nice and soft but doesn’t fall apart.

Quick service. Team there is very nice!

To find it, go inside the 211 office building.“

“Great food. Stopped through while I was in town because you could smell the food from outside.“

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

“Ordered for the 3 of us as im not in the indy area much and wanted to try something different that's not in our hometown. Boy did jets deliver (literally) fantastic pizza, everyone loved it. Maybe ordered to much for the 3 of us, but next time im in the indy area you have my business !“

“There’s something about a simple downtown date that just feels right! One of our favorite little traditions is an afternoon show followed by a stroll over to Giordano’s. It’s such an easy, lovely walk from the IRT or Hilbert Circle Theater, and the perfect way to ease from the arts into a cozy, relaxed dinner. We always order the deep dish stuffed veggie supreme (because the veggirs are so fresh… how could we not?) and start with calamari. And yes… the cheese pull is every bit as good as people say. It’s rich, hearty, and honestly—one slice fills me up, two is my husband’s limit! But what really keeps us coming back is the feeling of the place. Sitting by those big windows, people watching, unwinding after the performance—it just turns dinner into an experience. And the service is consistently warm and thoughtful. Patrick, the GM, has a way of making sure everything feels easy and taken care of. It’s one of those evenings that reminds us how good it is to slow down and enjoy the moment.“

“I LOVE the veggie and margarita pizza. Yummy!!💜💜“

“Jet’s Pizza has always been a great spot. Jacob and his crew do an outstanding job—friendly, professional, and they clearly care about quality and customer service. My family and I love the Detroit-style pizza, it is excellent, and every time we order the food has been fresh and consistent. They also have some great sides and desserts, so definitely check out the full menu. It’s easy to see why this place has such a strong reputation. Highly recommend supporting a locally owned business that does things the right way.“

“The food is always delicious, but I prefer the other locations due to more available menu items. I never miss a chance to get my Enzo fix when I’m in town!“

“great tasting sauce and dough“

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

“I loved the food here although a little pricey I would say it’s completely worth it and our waiter Jeffrey was amazing, very friendly, had a great attitude, and always made sure we were ok. 10/10 would recommend“

“😄Hats off to Jets, they ran out of mushrooms on Sunday night, gave me a call to ask about a substitute. Did not slow things up a bit, it was a great pizza!“

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

“I had a great experience at Marco’s Pizza on 7125 Georgetown Road, Suite 100 in Indianapolis. The service was quick, professional, and genuinely friendly from everyone I came into contact with.

I ordered a small 6-piece create-your-own pizza with regular crust, cheese, beef, grilled chicken, steak, and pineapple. It was prepared to go in under 15 minutes, and the quality was excellent. Every topping had great flavor individually, and the combination as a whole came together perfectly.

The customer service, care, and positive attitude from the staff made the experience even better. Overall, this was a 10/10 visit, and I would definitely recommend this location.“
