    The ambience and food was amazing! Such a jewel to have found. A rich history and we got to hear the story of when it was created and the interesting story that closed its doors for 7 years in the 1930s. It’s a must stop Italian if you want to enjoy great food and the feel of Italy in Indiana.

    Always a great experience at Iozzo’s! I was able to show my mother in law and sister in law my favorite Italian in the city. Both are gluten free and were super excited when they learned there was a gluten free pasta option. Bobby was great, as always.

    We wanted an "old world" style of Italian restaurant, not a chain, and Iozzo's Garden of Italy was exactly what we had hoped for! We were never rushed, but our server Dale kept everything moving smoothly. He gave us great input on our selections and made sure that our courses came out smoothly and on time. The food was excellent! I had eggplant parmesan and my husband had lasagna. Both were massive servings and we took away leftovers. The focaccia was fresh and a nice addition. We would definitely recommend and will return if ever in Indianapolis again.

    Iozzo's is one of those reasons to get slightly out of the "walkable downtown" and find some of the best Italian food in the city. Priced fairly, made authentically, and just a solid night out that's not just another steakhouse. I had three colleagues in from out of town for the Combine and if you're not Jerry Jones, skip the touristy places and try something a bit different. You'll be rewarded at a place like Iozzo's (or several other local places!)
