My girl and I came here randomly for dinner and was not disappointed. I was so impressed with the environment and how peaceful it was. I will say it was a small restaurant but it was super cute. The service was good! We had my yoga instructor from the hot room as our server and he did amazing. I think his name was Jake! But the food was really good. I ordered the pizza it was decent but I really loved my girls dish- it was so flavorful and the portion was good. I want to bring my babe here! I will be back read more

Two words: carbonara pasta. Everyone else I went with had been before and also ordered it. I was not disappointed! The waiter said it's the number one seller and it's for a reason. We also shared the watermelon feta salad which is also a star. It was so good I went back and placed a to go order! It was a seasonal salad so I hope it comes back! Really nice atmosphere for dinner with the girls from work! read more

Our server, Jess, was fantastic! Very friendly and never seemed rushed or stressed despite the fact that she appeared to be the only server when they opened. The food was delicious, however, I deducted one star because it took so long to get served and to get our items once we were able to order. We were seated quickly but then waited about 10 minutes for water, then had to wait a while to order drinks and food. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff were all very friendly. The food was delicious and I will absolutely be back to try more items from the menu, I'll just make sure I'm not in a hurry next time so I can truly slow down and relax! read more

Came here before a concert at Old National. We mentioned to our server that we were running a little behind and he did a fabulous job of taking our order quickly and bringing out our food as soon as it was ready. The vibe is the place is really cute too. Food is good, just a little pricey, imo. I got the pesto gnocchi, which was fine, but I'd probably get the lasagna next time. My friend got it, and it looked delicious. Overall we had a fine experience! Would recommend before a show! read more

Food is inconsistent as is the service. From my latest meal the pizza crust tastes like cardboard and the calamari is a little soggy. Dessert redeems the meal but I suggest avoiding this joint. read more

We got a reservation for a dinner for our group of five, and had a lovely meal at Vicino! I really liked the bright, luxe-feeling decor and upbeat atmosphere. They have a very good wine and cocktail menu, and even a wonderful mocktail. We started with a couple orders of the Bread & Herb Oil, and I definitely recommend this to my fellow focaccia-lovers out there. The mixed olives on the side of the plate were a great snack too, and I happily ate more than my fair share of them. For entrees, we got the Tagliatelle Bolognese, the Chicken Marsala, the Pesto Chicken, the Shrimp Pasta, and the Osso Buco. I got the Shrimp Pasta, and it was excellent; I'm a sucker for a lemony white wine sauce and it had wonderful flavor. The shrimp themselves were delicious, well-seasoned and well-cooked. I would have liked a bit more of the sauce, since the noodles were a touch on the dry side, but it was a very minor thing. I also got to try the Osso Buco, which was incredibly tender and tasted great. The lone blemish on the meal was the chocolate cake I got for dessert. Other folks enjoyed the Tiramisu and Lemon Bars, so I think my cake was an outlier, but the cake was very hard -- I could barely get a fork through it -- and tasted odd, as though something in it had spoiled. Like I said, my friends' desserts were all good, so mine does appear to have been the exception rather than the norm, but it was a bummer to end on that note. Bottom line: Five stars for ambience, entree, and mocktail -- but a deduction for a super disappointing dessert. read more

We were walking down Mass Ave trying to figure out where to eat. We saw Vicino had a nice outdoor seating area and it was a beautiful day so we stopped in. It took about 5 minutes to get us a table outside. While we waited, I looked around and there was plenty of inside seats. Once seated our server took our order. The service was ok, she not very friendly but nevertheless got us everything we needed. We had mixed reviews of our food. The Wood Oven Chicken was well portioned, I was told it tasted great. The Pesto Chicken was underwhelming, the gnocchi takes over the dish and there wasn't enough pesto. The Seared Scallops tasted great along with the polenta however I felt it could have been better portioned considering the price point. The Pizza (not sure which one was ordered and forgot to take a picture) was small, thin, and I thought it was also pricey for what you got. The drinks were pretty and all tasted great. Overall my experience was ok and nothing really stood out. read more

Ordered the shrimp pasta and added scallops ABSOLUETLY DISGUSTING . I regret spending $50 on a meal that went to the trash. Staff was amazing but this meal was not. Noodles over cooked and no flavor. I decided to treat myself for my birthday and spent the money . Hated to see the waste so i tried giving it to my chicken at least to eat . SHE WOULDNT EVEN EAT IT. Tragic truly. read more

If you have time to have lunch downtown this week I highly recommend the Devour Indy menu at Vicino Indy. Located on Mass Ave at corner of Alabama. $25 pp gets you 3 courses of exceptional quality. I had the caprese, burger and limoncello bar. My hubby had zuppa toscano, cacio e pepe, and the doughnuts. Large portions, fresh pasta, creamy sauce, this meal was a dream! Also Rico was an amazing server! Note: Will be happy to go back outside of Devour as many items on the menu looked delicious! read more

Was in town for a work convention and we were all craving some Italian. Looked at a few places and stumbled upon Vicino, perused the photos and knew this was the one! And wow!! Exceeded all of our expectations! For appetizers we got the focaccia and herb oil, calamari and bbq oysters. All so so delicious! The herbed oil was the star, as we asked for another side to drizzle onto everything! For our salad, we got the Caprese and this was one of my favorites! The two types of pesto sauce were immaculate and added the perfect layer of flavor. I shared the mushroom pizza and carbonara with a coworker - both so good, fresh and flavorful as well. My boss got the lamb shank and couldn't stop raving about it. He said it was in his top 3 meals he's ever had in his life! We were absolutely stuffed at this point and couldn't do any dessert, but these looked good as well. Our server was incredible and the owner even stopped by to say hi. Overall, Vicino was amazing and we'll be sure to put this on our list again for the next time we're in Indy. PS - the artwork, interior design (lighting and chairs) were my absolute fave and I greatly appreciated the attention to detail!! Keep it up, Vicino! read more

I've visited Vicino a few times and I've always had a pleasant experience. Each time, the staff has been exceptional! I love the decor and the cute little photo opps that are around.

So I had a craving for calamari and saw this place close to my office. I ordered online, so not much interaction with the staff other than picking up my food. The online system toast said my food would take 30 minutes but I know calamari doesn't take that long to prepare so I went sooner and my gut was right so I do wish I would have received a notification once the food was actually ready but the food was fresh and tender, the 2 sauces paired well with the seafood, I will return for dinner soon to enjoy the full experience they offer, I'm intrigued! read more

We had an amazing experience here and randomly stopped in for date night when we found ourselves near Mass Ave. The restaurant feels very upscale and I love how it looks. They have a nice outdoor patio too for warmer weather. We started with the arancini, and they were absolutely delicious, and I really loved the sauce they were plated in. I decided to try a pizza and went for the Tuscano pizza which had a lemon arugula, artichokes and prosciutto. This pizza was delicious, it was so fresh and the flavor combinations worked so well. I hadn't had anything like this before. Our waitress was great, and helped give us with menu suggestions. read more

It was my friends birthday yesterday and so we had a whole day of activities planned which ended with dinner at Vicino. When choosing a restaurant we wanted somewhere nice and hopefully a place he hadn't been. Because it was a surprise we didn't know he had been to the restaurant soon after they opened. The restaurant decor is beautiful. One side is more casual with bighter lights and higher tables and the other side is more formal with lower lighting and an almost romantic ambiance. We were seated at our table immediately after arriving and our server briefly told us the restaurant approach to Italian food. After perusing the menu, we ordered. I got the Funghi pizza, my friend got the carbonate and added chicken and the birthday boy settled on the Caesar salad. He asked our server the size of the salad and she indicated it would be a decent portion. However, when our meals were brought to the table, the salad was more the size of a side salad on an entree plate and it was soggy and wilted. He asked the server for a fresh salad which was handled quickly. We both noticed that our server's demeanor changed from the moment he asked for a fresh salad and it was almost like she had an attitude. At one point, she came back to the table and cleared away our side plates and unused utensils. She also cleared away my friends plate since he was done with his salad. Since he hadn't touched the cheese crisp, she didn't ask him if he was done first before removing the plate. When we got our bill, our other friend realized that the chicken she added to her carbonara was a $7 upcharge. When the server asked if she wanted chicken with her carbonara, she should have mentioned how much the upcharge was. Most places will tell you how much an additional charge to expect and I also understand she could have asked. My friend was also not happy with the size of the salad since he had eaten there before and got the same thing and it was much larger/filling. I usually give a restaurant two chances when I have a less than stellar experience but this one that I doubt I'd visit again for awhile. read more

Vicino is a great addition to Mass Ave. with a wonderful patio. The food is a bit on the pricier side, but worth the money for a special night out. We started with the bread and herb oil. The fish was flavorful, as was the spaghetti and meatballs. Try one of their mock tails, you won't be disappointed! read more

The old Hedge Row location revamped and they did a beautiful job. The entire restaurant has a light and airy welcoming feeling. We visited a few days after they opened and the service was great, the menu full of delicious choices. The only problem was that seemingly all our dishes were very salt heavy and I mean just plain too salty. We did let the manager know. We revisited this time for brunch and everything was wonderful (no overpowering salt). Loved the variety of options. Innovative as well as traditional brunch items are available here. Just as alwasy, parking along Mass Ave can be an issue. read more

First thought was the decor was super cute but the restaurant is very loud. We were seated near the door with 2 huge party groups next to us back to back and it was hard to have a conversation. I found myself having to talk very loud or ask my table mates to repeat themselves. The food was okay- The calamari tasted very artificial. They were thick sticks, reminded me of the fake crab you buy in the grocery. The sauces were flavorful but I would definitely pass on this appetizer. The pesto chicken gnocchi had really good flavor. The gnocchi were perfectly cooked. There were very tough pieces of something in the dish, I couldn't tell what it was because it didn't have flavor and it was dark so I couldn't see it. I couldn't eat around it though. If those very tough things weren't in there the dish would have been better. The portion was pretty good. I'm told the lamb Ragu was pretty good and the portion was very large. The birthday tiramisu plate was cute. Great presentation and just enough for a few bites for everyone to try it. Overall, it's worth trying and I'm glad I went. I'd be interested in trying the other appetizers and maybe a different main dish, or asking for the hard things to be removed. read more

Went here tonight for dinner with my son and his girlfriend. Nice restaurant, nice atmosphere and good food. Our waitress was very good and really attentive. They have a nice selection of appetizers, salads, pasta dishes, pizza and other main courses to select from. This place appeared to be pretty busy but the food came out quickly. I walked by the kitchen and everything that I saw was being made from scratch. We started with their bread & oil appetizer that is also served with an assortment of olives. The bread was really good - just wish there would have been a couple of more slices served. My son ordered the Carbonara Dish which he said was really good. His girlfriend had the Chicken Pesto Dish and asked to swap out the gnocchi for spaghetti pasta. The restaurant changed the pasta without an issue. I had their Caesar Salad and Pizza Picante. Great taste and serving sizes. The pizza was well made. When I come back to visit Indy again, I will make this a place to revisit!! read more

My husband and I stopped in for the first time on our self care day. It was around 3ish so the lunch menu was being served but we didn't see too much of a difference between the lunch and dinner menu so we dug in. This is my new favorite 'pretty' restaurant. For me, presentation is key. We sat at the bar because we like to change it up but I can see meeting a group of friends to dine in the large area or patio. Service was great, no disappointment there. Everyone was knowledgeable and shared what they liked. We got a couple of drinks, appetizers and lunch. The dessert options didn't make me 'have' to get anything which was fine because I was full by then. Appetizers: meatballs, loved and they have a little spicy kick which I like. The Arancini was good but the snuck mushrooms in which I'm not a fan of and didn't see on the menu. Main dishes: seafood pasta and pesto chicken. Both were good but needed more meat. We need a little more meat. read more

This is a trendy restaurant and definitely falls into trend over quality. The serving sizes are teeny tiny, the flavors are super bland and the prices are very high, but they are really pretty inside!

Overall good experience. I went here for Mother's Day and it wasn't busy. I had a reservation, but for some reason when I arrived the hostess seemed confused and what appeared to be the manager had to help her. After some awkward pauses he showed us to our table. He then offered a different table, which we accepted, but it still needed to be cleaned. Once seated, I began checking out the menu, which to my surprise was a bit limited. Entrees are only pastas and pizza. There are a few apps and then salads. Though the selections are not abundant, the food we ordered was all very tasty and we enjoyed all the items. Our waitress was friendly and helpful and the restaurant has a lovely bar and nice design and decor. read more

I know this is a new restaurant, so I am more than happy to come back in a few months and try again. That being said, everything was just okay. The service was a little strange with the hosts being suuuuuper friendly and conversational, but our server was not. It was "hello what can I get you?" Didn't feel very warm or friendly. She had a lot of tables, so we didn't really feel like a priority. The place itself though is beautiful! The space is decorated to perfection and the furniture is great! I will say that the tables were organized in a criss cross pattern, so you were sitting literally right next to someone at another table. Very odd that you could hear everyone conversation. The food was okay. My husband got the pesto chicken which was actually delicious! I got the carbonara and I ended up switching with my husband because the pasta was cooked to a weird texture with not a ton of flavor. Overall nothing to write home about, but it be willing to come back in a few months! read more

Vicino is a beautiful new Italian restaurant on Mass Ave. they have a great location and the decor of the restaurant is amazing. The space is gorgeous. You can sit at the bar or near the wood fire oven. We sat at a table near the back of the restaurant. We started with two drinks my husband a traditional old fashioned and I went with the Italian soda. The drinks were alright nothing spectacular and I don't think I'd order the Italian soda again it has cinnamon in it which is very overpowering. We also started with the garlic butter shrimp. The shrimp were huge. The presentation was great. I am leery when it comes to shrimp I noticed they did not clean the digestive tract from the shrimp. I was turned off by this. A restaurant at this caliber you'd expect better. I let our server know and she had it replaced. The shrimp was pretty good. It has a sweeter flavor I expected it to be savory but not bad. I decided to order the carbonara and my husband went with the spicy pizza. His pizza was delicious I definitely had order envy. I was not a fan of the carbonara. It lacked flavor and I didn't enjoy the consistency of the pasta. Our server asked if we wanted to order another drink. I ordered a dirty martini. My drink was served with a bug. At this point I was ready to go. At no point did a manager come to our table to acknowledge the unfortunate situation with the shrimp or the bug. For 130 dollar dinner I was seriously let down and will not ever come here again. read more

Stopped in for happy hour and stayed for an amazing meal! I love a place that offers a happy hour menu that's actually worth visiting. Cocktails are $5 off and glasses of wine were $2-$3 off. We ordered the spuntino as part of our happy hour and it was a lot of food! We had 3 people and still had some leftovers on it. The carbonara was amazing! Everything came out so hot and fresh. The carbonara had great flavor and the pancetta was nice and crispy. The only thing I didn't like was the pepper in the pasta because some pieces were kinda large and you really had to chew the pepper which was very strong! Overall, I really enjoyed this place. I hope it continues to do well! read more
