    This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is pretty good, some italian classics and some twists, and for their prices it’s 100% worth it. Also the restaurant has such a cozy and charming atmosphere! From the moment you walk in, you feel right at home. The warm lighting, rustic decor, and comfortable seating make it an ideal place for a relaxed meal. I will strongly suggest the cheese wheel pasta and the tortellini Cortona. Good wine list and our waitress Laura was very helpful and friendly. The espresso martini is a must! The best authentic Italian cuisine in Indiana

    Had a wonderful dinner. Not too packed for a Friday night, which was good. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. I ordered the bruschetta, insalata Argulla, and linguine scampi very scrumptious. Portion size was perfect. Will definitely go back.

    We absolutely loved everything about Cartona’s! The atmosphere and lighting were perfect. Our waitress and the staff were wonderful!! She made great recommendations and was very helpful. The food was amazing, delicious and top notch. Seriously, authentic perfection!! It’s truly the best Italian food and overall dining experience ever! We’re looking forward to coming back soon. I’ve never heard of or seen the cheese wheel and pasta experience before. It was truly incredible and oh so delicious. Thank you all!
