We had a great experience at DeLullos! The food was absolute fantastic. Service was great and the overall atmosphere was lovely. We took our kids for dinner, but might make it a nice date night next! We will for sure be back!

Greencastle

About the restaurant

Craft pizzas, housemade pastas; an incredible assortment of wines and much more! Seasonal menu from Chef Sal Fernandez.
Sometimes one good idea leads to another. Such is the case with Bridges. With the success of Music on the Square, we began imagining what could happen next. The location next door (19 North Indiana) was up for sale, so we bought it and began thinking of what would be complementary. We started imagining Bridges as a wine bar offering interesting wines to Greencastle. But we soon added a wood burning pizza oven from Italy and more of a restaurant evolved. Ultimately, the idea of Bridges Wine Bar was born. The basement has become a private dining room called The Cellar, an open terrace area on top of the building, which will be used in nice weather, called The Rooftop, and there will be three fully furnished rental apartments which we call The Lofts at Bridges.
We hope you will like our addition to the Square of Greencastle.

We love everything about the Good Omen. If we could offer one suggestion it would be to turn down the music that is piped in. It makes it difficult for us older folks to engage in conversation!

Broad Ripple / Meridian - Kessler

About the restaurant

Ambrosia was founded on the principle that the best food - and the best times of our lives - begin with love. In the Pizzi family kitchen in Liguria, Italy, the dinner table was a treasured space for family and friends. Since 1979, the Pizzi family, which now includes Gino's daughters Manuela, Anna, and Francesca, has been bringing that same love and commitment to the Ambrosia kitchen. Regular patrons and staff are all part of the family, and first-time visitors are welcomed like old friends.

The food was fantastic. Our server was patient and understanding as we worked to select a wine and our food from the menu. The wine she helped us choose was outstanding and the meal choice was excellent as well. The portions were generous and prepared perfectly. It was nice to actually get pasta that had flavor and was al dente as it should be. No limp over cooked pasta like so many restaurants you go to these days. The bread was marvelous! Good texture and baked perfectly. We highly recommend Cortona's.
