    Puccini's has easily become one of my favorite pizza spots in the city. The crust is always perfectly baked, and the toppings never disappoint. My go to order is a pepperoni and bacon pizza - it's the perfect balance of savory, crispy, and indulgent. I also have to shout out their ranch, because truly, I'm obsessed (IYKYK).

    REALLY wanted to love this place. Absolutely adored the vibe, really feels like a mom and pop shop with young high school kids working and doing their jobs well. Place was busier than expected and we were still served quickly. 5 stars for the pepperoni bread, it was awesome Salads were also tasty and had decent portion sizes The gluten free pizza was undeniably the worst I've ever had. So rubbery, completely uncooked in the center and burnt on the edges. Never had a bad pizza before this place. Regular pizza seemed fine but definitely steer clear of the GF

    BBQ Chix Calzone

    This place is amazing! The service from all of their staff is top notch. They're friendly and take care of you with a smile on their face. There is a cash register counter for pickup orders, but we sat down to eat. I had a barbecue chicken calzone and my family had a pizza. The pizza are always great. The calzone was so good! The chicken inside of it was so tender and it had just a light amount of sauce and the plenty of BBQ to dip on the side. The breading was also perfectly chewy! Of course their garlic cheesy bread is great too! For a tiny little shop, this place really gives the best pizza parlor vibes!

    I had some time to kill at lunchtime on a weekend before my daughter's dance competition and was nearby and craving pizza so i stopped by Puccini's. I love all the combinations and choices of toppings here. Since I was by myself I was able to order a shrimp pizza something I wouldn't be able to convince my family to try. It was excellent but I forgot it doesn't come with red sauce. Pizza was good and it was good to try something different. Crust was light and not dense so I had no problem eating the small pizza. Service was very fast and i had my lunch and ate it in 30 minutes. Definitely worth checking out and note they have very reasonable week day lunch specials.

I could have these all night....i barely taste the bourbon but I'm sure it will sneak up on you. The wife had a huge spritz which was enormous. I tried it and it's definitely elderflower forward and she loved it. It took her so long to get through it I had time for a neat pour of buzzards roost. The bartenders were Emma and Steven.

One glass and it would be best for a Cabernet or a Zin. Huge glass is not how white wine should be served. Simple fix. After I ordered my food I sat and noticed the bartender running out into the restaurant to assist elsewhere. Why? Finally my food comes and the person delivering it doesn't have silverware or the normal napkin wrapped set of silverware. When I asked the person delivering the food he looked confused and lost. The bartender steps forward and lays a fork on the bar, walks back and looks for a knife. She drops that on the bar and the goes to search for a napkin. What is happening at this point? Finally the person who delivered the food returns with a nicely wrapped silverware napkin ensemble for me. I sat and enjoyed the scallops dish. As I was eating I watched the couple to my left be served food with no napkin wrapped utensils just as I was. So this stuff is simple, small but HUGE. The bartender needs to be on point for silverware and focused on the customers at the bar...in addition to the drinks for customers. The manager shouldn't be schlepping plates to the kitchen. Good servers should either be bringing utensils or the staff gives it to you immediately once they know you're eating. Simple things and so easy to fix. It is however a huge impact to the experience. These are absolutes that when missed changes peoples experiences. Decent good, poor service. Own the experience for your customers.

We ordered prosecco drinks with added liquor. It was so strong that we asked for more prosecco and they graciously accommodated us My husband had salad, calamari and pasta. He said it was all good Our friends had pasta dishes and salad and they were pleased The house inside is beautiful. Hardwood floors stained glass windows, all original. WilI I go back, no. Even with me eating soup our check was about $100.00. The staff is well trained and helpful. Just seems a shame an Italian restaurant does not use olive oil.

However, the pasta choices are only rigatoni or spaghetti. From the pictures yes they really do have a pizza oven, which is fantastic The calamari was great, especially because it contained tentacles. However, at this price point, the plate was pathetically filled with barely anything. So they're charging high prices, trying to present themselves as a great place to be, and yet are feeding you less than the competitors out there. Our server was very nice, however did not know what tentacles were. Our server was slightly attentive but slow. The two pasta dishes we ordered were very disappointing. The sauce tasted like they came out of a jar and they were definitely not homemade or made from scratch in any way shape or form. The cheese is as well tasted like they came out of a bag and were not shaved or cut fresh. Unfortunately, I can even do the simple pasta better at home. Further, the alla Norma I was playing a game of trying to find the eggplant. My partner got the Bolognese and you could not find any meat in it whatsoever. It was very disappointing. By the time we left the place was packed, so maybe they are doing something right but frankly from three dishes, this was a huge disappointment and frankly a waste of money There are lots of other Italian places in the fishers and Carmel areas please go there.

It's not much to look at from the outside - in small strip mall off Fall Creek about 2 miles north of 96th, but the inside is both luxe and comfortably cozy. At just 12 tables, you get your table for the night, so there is no rush and your evening can be as long as you want to make it. They also have a gorgeous little side wine room that you can rent for parties of 6-8 for dinner. And there's a little bar area that seats maybe 4-6. We had reservations for 6pm, so there were only 2 or 3 other tables occupied when we got there, but they filled throughout the night (& we left close to 8pm). Our server Shaunda was delightful, and the owner Dan came around and checked on all the tables a few times as well. We were presented with a cous cous amuse bouche, a nice refreshing bite to start the evening. Hubs had an Italian Old Fashioned and I asked our server to pair wine for me, so it was a Decoy Sauv Blanc with our first course - the mussels. We asked for extra crostinis in order to soak up more of the delicious sauce they came in. Next was the beet arugula salad, so good! For entrees, hubs had the pappardelle bolognaise and got an iced T, and I had the short ribs with risotto, paired with a glass of cab franc. Dessert was coffee (americano) for each of us, and we split the tiramisu (see all my pics). We ate and enjoyed everything! Total with tax was right at 200 before gratuity. So this is more of a splurge place for us, (of course would be less without the beverages we did) but we will be back. It was a really pleasant evening and another big win for me picking birthday places! #yum #ReviewsByRL

    Wow. I must start there. Talk about an experience, this place is what 5 stars is…read more Located in Fishers, in a spot that has been a couple other restaurants prior I wasn't really sure what to expect. Once parked (plenty of parking right outside their door), walking in it is a very intimate, maybe no more than 12 tables or so. We did have reservations, I would suggest making them to be on the safe side since it is so small. As soon as we sat down, our server came right over and explained how the menu is laid out and how the courses are brought out. I will say, this is not a place to go when you are rush. It is meant to be slow, so you can settle in and enjoy your food, enjoy the company and just be in the moment. We were probably there just over 2 hours for just the two of us. Chef Dan came out many times to chat with us and really made us feel welcome. Telling us different stories, walking us through what we were eating, and just made us feel like we were special. While everything was amazing, a few standout things I would like to mention: The Mussels were amazing, such good flavor so if you are fan, make sure you order them. The caesar salad comes disassembled, and the anchovies are sold separately, (I didn't realize it when I ordered it), we ordered a few desserts and they were all amazing. Can't go wrong there.
