    We booked a Friday night dinner for a graduation celebration - we happened to arrive quite early and were seated within 5 minutes. Our waiter was engaging and funny, and the food quite good (Ricotta Gnocchi, Crab Tortellini and Pasta Vignole (?). The atmosphere was lively and yet we could have a nice conversation without shouting. Parking available on the street and in a lot near the building. Since it was a bit drizzly outside we could not enjoy the patio, but looks very charming for the nights when they have live music. Would definitely go back!

    Always a pleasure to dine at Iozzo's! Never disappointed. Friendly attentive service. The scrumptious food and drink (especially the aged Manhattan!) remain tops. Can't recommend highly enough!

    I’m a big fan of Iozzo’s. That being said this visit didn’t live up to my last dinner here. We started with the spinach and artichoke bruschetta and it was bland. My last visit I had the exact same item and it was full of flavor and garlic. I had the ricotta gnocchi and found it to be bland as well. I was expecting full flavor with the Gorgonzola cheese. I’m hopeful this was just an off night and will definitely be back.

    This is my second time eating here and it was just as phenomenal as the first. Truly one of, if not the best Italian Restaurant I have been to. Excellent service, incredibly impressive food, and a perfect atmosphere. I am going to try to come here every time I am in Indianapolis.

    We greatly enjoyed this experience. The service was excellent, with everyone “pitching in” and the food was excellent. We really appreciated the manager being so engaging and attentive. We said the next time we’re in Indianapolis we will definitely return
