Debbie E.

An unassuming restaurant in a strip mall serving the best Italian dishes! The clam chowder was hot and dense with clams and vegetables. My tilapia with lemon sauce and capers was served with angel hair pasta and a nice marinara. The garlic bread was replenished several times and was warm with a fluffy center. Excellent service in a quiet atmosphere with reasonable prices, delicious entrees, and cloth napkins and tablecloths.

Pizza was very bland
Jim J.

We have eaten here many times and have always had delicious food and great surface this visit, however, was on a Friday evening and we had reservations. upon arrival We had to wait quite a bit before we were seated. We then waited a very long time before they brought waters to our table, it seemed like forever before they brought any bread to the table and and then took our order. my wife and I split the pizza and I can say the crust was done nicely, but the pizza was very very bland and would not recommend it as always. The ambience was like an upscale Italian place. Our food was bland, and the service was slow.

Shrimp Diablo

Hands down the best Italian place to eat in Indianapolis. I can't believe we had never tried this restaurant. The server was friendly, and she went over the menu and provided recommendations since it was our first time there. Their bread is so good, and dipping it in the Alfredo just took it to a whole new level. Their salad tasted so fresh and the dressing was great too. My husband love his shrimp pasta and I don't normally order lasagna out but was told it was some of the best lasagna ever made. Now they were not lying! The lasagna was next Level delicious! The cheese on top was quality! The filling was perfection and the noodles were cooked just right was well. All these components made the most perfect and delicious lasagna. If you have not tried this place you are missing out! The prices are reasonable, the food memorable, the staff super friendly. Sounds like the perfect combination to me!

Chicken Alfredo

- Great Local Spot with Thoughtful Service Vito Provolone's has a unique vibe--somewhere between relaxed and refined. The staff had great energy, very attentive and friendly throughout the night. We started with the cheese bread, and it was excellent--crispy, cheesy, and flavorful. She ordered the Chicken Alfredo and loved it. I had the Filet Marsala, and I was impressed they nailed the medium cook just right. The filet itself was good (a little charred in spots), and while I liked the wine sauce, the pairing with spaghetti didn't quite hit for me. Dipping garlic bread into the sauce actually made it more enjoyable. We finished with tiramisu, which was okay but a bit watery for my taste. I also grabbed a cannoli to go, and that ended the night on a high note--really tasty. Overall, it's a solid local restaurant with great service and energy. I'd definitely come back--probably to explore the seafood next time.

Vegetable Lasagna
Stacie B.

This local hang out is well know and for sure you want a reservation if going on a 'normal' hour! We spontaneously chose to try it and had to wait about 30 minutes - but it was well worth it! The menu is a decent size but don't expect everything, so it is more manageable and this all options are good. I was craving pesto so asked for a pasta with pesto, and even though not on the menu they did it! Much appreciated! The ambience is nice and feels a bit more upscale but casual as well. Our server was professional and helpful and prompt. The food was amazing and it was so plentiful we ended but brining almost half home. We will for sure go again and get another option, and make a reservation this time. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been.

Fettuccine Alfredo
Duncan G.

Went to our favorite date night dinner place Vito Provolone's. We had our 1st date here & after being married a week I thought we were due for a visit. As always Vito's comes through! Had reservations ( a must for weekend evenings) and we're seated within 10 minutes. As always from the hostesses to the wait staff & the expediters everyone was great. The food is consistently outstanding. Great house salads ( their house Italian is very good!), fab meatballs & my better half loves the spaghetti with Italian sausage (a bit spicy) the garlic bread is warm soft & tasty as well. Now the fettuccine Alfredo. I'm VERY picky when it comes to this dish. I happen to cook a great homemade version of this so I'm always apprehensive ordering it out. Vito's consistently does GREAT Alfredo! Can't recommend this place highly enough! Pro tip #1 their food travels very well so don't hesitate to order carry out. Pro tip #2 Their pizza is very tasty as well!

Spaghetti and meatballs with vodka sauce
Grace F.

Vito's is my favorite place to go for Italian on the south side. Each time we have been here it is always very busy, but the service is fast and very accommodating. While you wait, there is also an opportunity to get a drink from the bar, which is very nice. This time that we went, I had the chicken Giovanni without spicy sausage. It was very good and a fair portion size. My fiancé decided to get spaghetti and meatballs with a slight change to get vodka sauce instead. To drink, we had an espresso martini and a Moscato. Overall, the service was great, and the food is always the best. Also, I would say that this is a great place for a romantic dinner or even a large family dinner!

Small pizza for $11. Nice as an app. Sauce is diff but good.

Do they have Gluten Free Entrees?

They have gluten free spaghetti and you can get it with any of their sauces.

Do they offer any entrees with gluten free pasta?

I asked for a gluten free option when I went and was pleased to be able to get GF spaghetti. They can put any sauce you like on it. This helped me out having gluten free pasta.

Do they hand make their pasta?

I'm not sure. But the food is delicious & service is excellent.

Phone number stated it has been changed and the new number is unknown. Has this restaurant closed?

We ARE OPEN! We were having phone trouble the last few days. I thought it was fixed yesterday. Did you have trouble today (Friday)? Thank you!

The restaurant is very conveniently located in the downtown Indianapolis area. I was in town for a…read moreconference and was able to walk from the convention center to the restaurant for lunch! The restaurant has a very cute aesthetic and plenty of seating whether you wanna sit at a table or at the bar. It was a little bit of a busier time when we came for lunch, but it didn't take our group too long to be seated. They have plenty of options if you have a taste for sushi or if you want a regular protein based entrée with rice I also appreciate that there were a lot of veggie options for non-meat eaters. I had a dish with broccoli and shrimp and it had great flavor and the portion size was perfect. It also came with a small side salad or soup before your entree came out.

It looks appealing on the…read moreoutside and, walking in, also has nice booths, some tables, and a unique, beautiful, large bar/sushi counter. The restaurant presents like a higher-end sushi house, but this is a little mismatched with the slightly loud 80s pop tunes streaming from the speakers. It seems like instrumental soft Japanese stings would be more appropriate. Also a little mismatched in the ambiance is a giant TV screen on the back wall (near out table), and large TVs over the bar area. They just don't "look right" with the tables and interior décor. The menu seems on par in price and offerings for similar-style sushi houses. We split edaname($6), I got the sushi dinner ($23) and hubs got the special lobster & seafood clay pot ($36). I drank water and he had 1 diet coke, so everything with tax + 20% tip came to $90. The food is presented beautifully, and tasted good. Both dinners had choice of soup or salad, and we each got ginger salad. We're lovers of ginger dressing. This one was ok - tasted good but could have used more, as I has lots of un-dressed lettuce in the bowl. My sushi dinner was fine but nothing extraordinary. For the "special" lobster & seafood clay pot, presentation was again beautiful, aroma and taste were good, nice sauce, but it was a little underwhelming in both seafood contents and amount. That being said, we had a small amount of leftovers from the hub's dish (some rice, sauce and veggies), and they present very nice takeout bags with a thermal lining. We actually ended up giving the container of food to a homeless man downtown, so I did not eat the leftovers, and, admittedly, it was not enough for a full lunch. So overall, while the food was very pretty and also tasty, we have a lot of other sushi options that give more bang to the buck for our quantity and atmosphere preferences. #yum #ReviewsByRL

The place is pretty with a nice bar area and the ambiance is nice with good lighting. We sat in one of the booths which was dirty but on the plus side love the privacy of them. To start the food took a long time to come which is always understandable and sometimes expected at fine dining, but was not worth the wait or price. First, the steak was said to be good, but the asparagus side was underwhelming with little to no seasoning/ butter. The lamb chops come with Alfredo pasta and was not seasoned and just not good. We had three orders of those so everybody can't be wrong. The shrimp and linguine pasta was dry with no sauce at all. On top of that the noodles were brittle and hard. I asked if we could have more sauce which helped a little bit. But i could not eat it because the noodles themselves were hard and dry and i did not want to send anything back because of the company i had. The presentation was pretty but the execution did not land. We also got espresso martinis and raspberry martinis and those were made well. For a place like this you just expect a little more pizazz and things to be on point! Especially at the price point they are at i expect everything to be tasty and saucy and flavorful and juicy. Can skip this one.
