Erin was super friendly but this visit was plagued by mumbling and incorrect direction. This was not Erin's fault. One of our diners is super special. He can eat cheese but only Mozzarella. The way it was directed to Erin was not right and in doing so, his salad had ricotta on it which means it needed to go back and have another salad made. The attention to the table was great by Erin but as the night went on, the lack of lighting and increase of bugs made our dinner experience less than enjoyable. Add to that our special picky eater and overall it was a miss of a visit. I would totally go back to Iozzo's with my wife as a date night in the dinning room and not the courtyard. The dining room was well light and had a such a different vibe. The interior vibe was romantic and magical. There is no slight to the courtyard or to Erin, but having a group of four for a business dinner and having the one of the most delicate diners in our group was not ideal. While I did not have the martini meatball, I did see it at a table service in the dining room and looked amazing. My bruschetta was very good. Another diner really enjoyed his gnocchi with steak,

We finally ventured down to Bocca after what felt like years of talking about it…read more We chose the perfect time too, which was Devour Indy's Summerfest. My husband was able to easily make a reservation online and when we arrived, we tried to find a spot in the small lot behind the restaurant, but we had to find street parking nearby. We did arrive a little early, about 15 minutes. Thankfully they were able to seat us right away, and we were excited to see that we could make their happy hour (5-6) if we ordered soon! Unfortunately, there may have been some miscommunication about sections, and we weren't acknowledged until right at 6pm. A whole 15 minutes of multiple staff walking around us and not even a glass of water. I honestly just assumed it had something to do with our 6pm reservation. Either way, our very kind waitress did offer us last minute happy hour drinks, so i guess if all worked out! I do think she felt badly about our wait. She was so nice that she gave us prosecco for a toast before our meal, and offered free tiramisu. So, major props on the hospitality! Our food was really delicious. My husband did the devour, which included the Truffle Arancini, Bocca Cesare, Tortellacci, and Lemon Sorbet for dessert. I enjoyed the Cavatappi and tiramisu. Everything was fresh and delicious. We can't wait to return and sit on their patio.

The dough is a 10/10--I don't know what they do, but the flavor of the crust is incredible. It's the kind of crust you actually want to finish! I'd easily rank this in my top five pizza spots in Indiana. We always start with the garlic bread, and it's a must-order every time. The pizza is consistently delicious, the service is attentive, and the food comes out surprisingly fast. The atmosphere is another reason we keep coming back. We love sitting on the patio, especially on nice evenings. It does fill up quickly, so I'd recommend getting there early if you want outdoor seating. If you're looking for authentic, delicious brick oven pizza, Tre Mori is definitely worth the visit. We'll be back again and again!

Unfortunately, Ambrosia didn't live up to the expectations…read more The service was inconsistent throughout the meal. Our server seemed to have very little knowledge of the menu and wasn't able to answer basic questions. One example was being over charged for a spirit served neat, even though the menu specifically states there's a $3 upcharge for spirits made into cocktails. When I asked about it, the server couldn't explain the reasoning, which only added to the confusion. The timing of the food was also disappointing. We ordered everything at the same time, but the salad didn't arrive until 15-20 minutes after our entrées had already been served. By that point, it felt like an afterthought. As for the food itself, it was just okay, nothing particularly memorable and certainly not enough to make up for the service issues. Overall, there are plenty of other restaurants in Indianapolis I'd choose before returning.
