    Our experience was just about perfect in every way except I didn’t like my entree. I ordered the Seafood Lasagna and it had a lot of cheese and a creamy sauce only a few pieces of sea food in it. I was also disappointed with my dessert it was chocolate dipped strawberries and the berries were small and didn’t have much chocolate on them. My wife loved her entree she got the chicken Marsala. Our server was amazing he took good care of us. We think the Expresso martinis we had may be the best we have ever had. We love Iozzo’s and we will back it is one of our favorite restaurants in Indianapolis.

    All the food was delicious! The lasagna was definitely the best though compared to the ragu and meatballs. Had the Zepolli for dessert and don’t regret it at all!

    This is my wife and I’s 2nd time going to the restaurant, service is good, waiters are polite, but our food was just not good either time. So many more nice places with much better food. I do not recommend.

    The food was excellent, my wife had the rigatoni with vodka sauce and subbed for chicken and I had the chicken piccata. Service was great, and the atmosphere was as well. They were fully packed, but yet it somehow felt intimate. Looking forward to trying their new Franklin location.

    Our waiter was knowledgeable about the history of the restaurant, and guided us through the menu! The walls are decorated with photographs of founding relatives. Great experience. A hidden gem swallowed up in the shadow of Lucas Oil Stadium. The homemade pasta selections were excellent. Al K.
