Best Authentic Restaurants in International Marketplace

Second time dining at Bocca. Had great service and a great dinner date. We sat at the bar and a friendly and skilled bartender provided great suggestions for drinks and entrees. We had lasagna (2nd time) and gamberi limon verde and shared a farro salad. All was excellent.

The food was very good & "clean" tasting. Authentic Italian. From the greens to the lasagna bolognese and the tiramisu cheesecake, everything was splendid! Despite the location being in downtown Indy, there was ample free parking available. Parking is always a concern & determining factor I consider when deciding if I want to dine downtown. The ambiance and decor were beautiful. My co-worker & I had chosen Iozzo to celebrate his achievement of being accepted into law school.🥂🍾 Everything about Iozzo made our evening enjoyable! This was our first experience at Iozzo, but it will not be our last.💙

Capri is our GoTo place for Italian food in Indianapolis. There a a lot of good Italian restaurants in town, but Capri is at the top of my list. Went there last night for a birthday dinner on a busy Thursday night 1 week before Christmas. The restaurant was packed with people many tables were occupied by 6 or more guests. Only had a short wait on our reservation, and the hostess seated us in a quiet corner table for 2, which was just perfect. Our favorite waiter was off this night, but a newer waiter, who had been trained by him took good care of us. Starters were great as we were really hungry and came out quickly. The calamari was tender and flavorful and enough for 2 people if you wanted to share (I didn't). Dinner rolls right out of the oven helped our hunger until the main courses arrived. I love their pasta because if is made fresh by them. I had the traditional linguine with clams in a light white sauce that was just thrown right size to complete the whole bowl. My wife had chicken lasagne, which was also delicious and enough to take home ½ of the portion. Desserts of bread pudding and cheese cake topped off the evening. We never felt rushed even though it was a busy evening and tables were turning over frequently. Be sure to use OpenTable to make your reservation and you will not be disappointed.

We decided to revisit WG, this time for my wife's 60th birthday. Food is always perfect...highly recommend! Service was tremendous. Parker was our server. He gathered a group together to sing happy birthday to my wife. Weber Grill typically does not do that, so he went the extra mile. Parker also picked up on the fact that we were on somewhat of a time crunch as we had tickets to the Yuletide Celebration at Circle Theater. He managed to expedite our drinks and meal. Weber Grill is a must, we've never had a bad experience, and the food is top notch!

Gather 22 is exactly what Indy’s dining scene needed! We stopped in for lunch while picking up friends from out of town, and it instantly became a highlight of our day. From the moment we walked in, the space felt warm, welcoming, and full of energy. The attention to detail—from the thoughtful decor to the friendly, attentive service—was incredible. The Byrne’s grilled pizza was hands-down the best we’ve had—perfectly crispy, loaded with flavor, and absolutely unforgettable. If you’re visiting during the Yuletide Tiki Tavern, don’t miss the Hoosier Vice. It’s a fun, festive twist on the classic Miami Vice and completely hits the mark. We will be back many, MANY times.
