    For appetizers were had the goat cheese bruschetta and garlic cheese bread. For entrees we had mushroom ravioli, pappardelle bolognese, shrimp penne and pepperoni & sausage pizza. For dessert we had the chocolate cake, crème brulee and tiramisu. Everything was very good. Our server, Mandy, did a great job.

    I read great recommendations about Diavola from the Butler University parent community, so I decided to try it while on a recent trip to visit my daughter. The good reviews were well deserved. Diavola has a modern, upbeat atmosphere. Our server was friendly and very attentive. The food was delicious. We had the goat cheese appetizer and funghi pizza and they were divine. We will definitely be back to try other dishes! 10/10 recommend Diavola!

    It used to be sooo good, but they must have changed the chef because the pasta dishes are not that great anymore.

    Another great meal as expected. Sat outside as it was a beautiful night and the service was excellent and the Pizzas even better. The cheesey garlic bread was a great start. No complaints ever. Our favorite place to go to get pizza.

    Once again, we took our daughter and granddaughter to Diavola and sat outside at what had become our favorite table. Our server was Mandy who is outstanding in every way. This time, we ordered a pera pesto pizza, an arugula salad, fried calamari, pappardelle Bolognese and cannoli to finish. We accompanied all with a Vermentino di Sardegna. Everything was delicious. Our 4 1/2 year old granddaughter ate 2/3 of the calamari and about 1/2 of the pasta. Mandy, once advised of a specific allergy at the table, guided us through safe choices running to check if she was unsure. All in all, we will repeat this as often as we can AND we will always ask that Mandy be our server.

    I usually do not write reviews but I received the survey and deemed it necessary. We had never been here before and decided to check it out. Cute restaurant and definitely busy. Our reservations were at 6:15 for a birthday dinner. We ordered pizza and pasta dishes for everyone in our party to share. The pizza barely had enough sauce and minimal if that on the toppings. It was like eating bread plus the pasta dishes were cold. We were still eating and our waitress asked us a minimum of eight times if she could box up our pizzas! We had only been there a little over an hour and definitely felt we were being rushed. Expensive and definitely not a place I would rush back to !

    Our server, Mandy, was tasked with dealing with my food allergy and our granddaughter’s petulant 4 1/2 year-old behavior. She handled both with aplomb. Our food was just right. It was 1/2 price wine night and it was just right. The weather could not have been better for outdoor seating. All in all it was a great experience.

    We chose to eat inside, and we chose Devour Indy menu ( 2 for $75) . We had done this several years ago and had great memories of the food and the service. It was Wednesday evening so a list of bottled wines were 50% off, so we ordered from there. I would return again tonight to try other dishes! I had pizza with truffle and wild mushrooms, fresh mozzarella and fresh basil. The crust to die for! 5 stars for sure

    We took advantage of the Devour menu (paying extra for the wine) and were disappointed with each course. I ordered an Aperol spritz; which is my favorite apéritif for an italian dinner. The bartenders portions were off and the champagne was entirely too prominent. Our first course was Caprino. Sadly, there was enough goat cheese for one bite and the rest was the pomodoro sauce. The grilled bread had been burned on the end which made for a not so pleasant taste. Our second course, was the Rucola salad. Our waitress was juggling multiple things at one time and keeping a smile and pleasant attitude while doing so. However, her hands were so full that my salad plate was resting up at the top of her arm between her upper arm and armpit. She had a sleeveless shirt on and needed me to reach up and take my salad as her hands were full. To say this was unappetizing was an incredible understatement. I ate from the side of my plate that had not been resting against her and did not finish it. The dressing left much to be desired and the parmesan had an off taste to it. For our third course, we inquired what was recommended, we were told that the pizza was the closest you could get to Italian pizza and that this establishment was a hidden gem. Perhaps our waitress was referencing Italy, Texas and NOT the country as the pizza did not reflect the expectations that come with being true italian pizza. To say we were disappointed and frustrated would be an understatement. This is not a restaurant that I would consider a hidden gem or would consider visiting again. I can only assume that for the locals, it's a decent reprieve from some of the other options around.
