    Pepperoni pizza, cheese pizza, and breadsticks. We get our pizzas with light cheese. Some of its already eaten, of course.

    Easily my favorite pizza place in/around the Indianapolis area. The pizza itself is excellent, even when you're eating it cold the next day. The breadsticks have a nice garlic butter and parmesan flavor to them and are always really soft. Everything on the menu is reasonably-priced, especially when you take the good quality of the food into consideration. On top of that, the staff has always been nice in each of our previous experiences. I've honestly got nothing bad to say about them. I'd love it if they opened more locations around Indy, but if they don't, I'll happily continue going out of my way to get them. They're worth the trip.

    Got here right at 8:05pm and to my surprise, the cut off for the buffet is 8pm. We asked the person at the counter if it was possible to still get the buffet with what was left (there were still a few mostly full pizzas left!) and the cashier let us participate in the buffet - even at a discounted price! Although the quality was slightly lacking because the pizza was about to be tossed for the night, the flavor was still there! Such a great experience and I greatly appreciate the cashiers willingness to offer us the buffet after hours. I will certainly be returning! Sooo much food at a wonderful price!

    First time here as I usually go to Mama Nita's in Greenfield. They kept the buffet fresh and asked if I had a special request. Not too many people eating Buffet but the carry out orders never stopped! There were as many as 8 people working & I mean working. Like a great oiled machine. Back to the food. No complaints here. Good Pizza Mama Nita.

    Very small salad bar. It didn't tempt me. Many pizzas to choose from on the buffet. Some were hot, fresh and delicious, others cool and not so good. Very tasty breadsticks AND they had cheese for them! Ice cream bars for dessert, but no diet pop!! That's bad!! No diet pop? What about diabetics? Included in the buffet also is popsicles or ice cream bars.

    Generally a "decent" experience overalls with some negative issues intermixed with some positives…read more The calamari was rubbery to the point where we could not enjoy eating it but our server told us the manager took it off our bill. The entrees (the monkfish special and the carbonara) were good but not great. I did appreciate the crispy, smoky pancetta in the carbonara but the monkfish had a somewhat mushy texture rather than the he firmness we would normally expect. The biggest issue, though, was the check. The calamari never came off, the meatballs for the children's pasta were more expensive than what was on the menu, and we were charged for an extra calamari dipping sauce that we did not ask for. Most of these problems were fixed but the whole thing illustrated a lack of attention to detail and an appearance of up-charging the customer in any way possible. Overall: Food: fair 4/5 Service: decent 3.5/5 Pricing: suspicious 2/5

While I don't think we should get an appetizer again because it was so much food, the marinara that can with the cheesy garlic bread was phenomenal. Both of our entrees were delicious! A ton of food. I wish we could have taken some home, but we're going to a show after. Brussel sprouts were to die for.... So good. Love the glaze they put on them. Again, I think we could have been fine with just our entrees and salads, but all the food we tried was so delicious - I am really glad we did. We may not make it back as often as I would like, but we love the ambiance, service, and food. This is a special place for us and we hope to share it with others.

What a perfect excuse to go back and verify that my first experience was no fluke! They impressed again with what could be the best calamari fritti I have ever had. The calamari itself was melt in your mouth tender and the breading was both light and flavorful. The lemon herb aioli? On point! The first time I ate there, I ordered the branzino - which was amazing. Tender, flaky, and mild with the perfect crispiness in the exterior. Everyone who ordered it on this second visit raved about it. For my second visit, I branched out to the carbonara which was as beautiful on the palate as it looked in the bowl. A perfect crunchiness of the pancetta counterbalanced the tenderness of the pasta which was prepared to a perfect al dente. I reviewed a carbonara from a different restaurant earlier this year and now have an apples to apples comparison that heavily favors Vicino. Service was outstanding despite being very busy that evening and the interior had a nice modern chic appearance - if that matters to you. What matters to me is the food and Vicino is now 2 for 2 in providing an experience that will definitely bring me back again!

They offer a great selection of brunch cocktails and mocktails, plus a variety of brunch options, including appetizers and sweeter dishes. Order the steak and eggs, and get the strawberry ricotta pancakes to share with the table -- thank me later, they're so good. Huge patio seating!

Five ladies arrived 1/2 hr early for our 7:00 reservation and were seated immediately. 15 minutes later a basket of delicious focaccia bread arrived, then shortly afterward our drink orders were taken. Water is bottled. Our waitress explained that she was not a waitress and was just helping out. We ordered from the ala cart menu and a prix fixe menu is also available. Our food was delivered 30 minutes later. The chicken fettuccine was excellent, freshly made noodles in a flavorful creamy sauce with the most tender chicken pieces. The butternut squash soup was watery and the spring mix salad was mostly lettuce. The interior of the restaurant is unassuming. Our bills were placed on the table for us to sort out. Menus change frequently. My four star rating is for the delicious pasta dishes. Portions are generous. To be fair, we did arrive earlier than expected so giving a pass for the delays.

It is worth the drive!!! All pastas are made fresh. The staff was so friendly and accommodating! They have a piano player as well...what a treat! I sat in the back corner and took it all in! The food was outstanding, I ordered Linguine Frutti di Mare- homemade linguine ( delicious) served with clams, mussels, scallops? Shrimp, cherry tomatoes, evoo, garluc, parsley cooked in a white wine sauce!!! As you can see I absolutely hated it... lol! I has an expression and lava cake for dessert. The lava cake was a little overcooked- that is the only complaint.... Other than the lady sitting across the table from me that talked loud enough for the whole restaurant to hear her conversation. I wish people would be more observant and realize they don't have to talk so loud when they're sitting at their table it made it difficult to hear the piano player and it went from a relaxing stress free feeling to an annoyance. I was so happy when her food arrived. This place is very special. It's very small. I got in because it was very early in the evening. I believe their doors open at 5 o'clock. I would highly recommend reservations, but if you have a special occasion that you're celebrating, and it appeared that several people did this is worth the drive!
