Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Fountain Square

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.

We splurge once a year to come here and it never disappoints. It’s not super fancy so we don’t feel out of place, but it’s a very nice place for a special date night. The food and drinks are always delicious. This visit I got the filet which was *chefs kiss* as always, but the brussel sprouts were where the meal really shined. The toasted ravioli appetizer was perfect. My husband loves the shrimp cocktail, with the signature famous cocktail sauce they share with their sister restaurant St. Elmo’s. If you’ve somehow never tried this gem, do yourself a favor and go. Worth every penny.

I’ve been waiting to try Maialina and it was fantastic! Our table tried: nonna’s meatballs, Parmesan garlic bread, calamari, Caesar salad, arugula with lemon vinaigrette, rigatoni rustica, cacio e pepe, and salmon. All outstanding and delicious!!!! We will be back again!

My husband and I traveled to Indianapolis for Valentine's Weekend and enjoyed an amazing dinner. The service from Michael, our waiter, was amazing. The meal was delicious. The sea bass with scallops and lobster risotto was the best. The staff was even willing to save ur reservation after arriving 16 minutes late due to the arrival flight being late. Thank you for being so considerate to us out-of-town guest on one of the busiest nights of the year, Valentine’s Day!

Coming back to Indianapolis after many years we made it a point to come to st. Elmo for a celebration with family and we were not disappointed. Our services Will was charming, funny and very knowledgeable about the menu and selection of drinks ( which wow is impressive itself) my husband, brother and sister n law had steak and mashed potatoes I had the South African lobster and my goodness cooked to perfection melted into our mouths .. definitely a treat and the dessert were yummy as well .
