we were in town for a business convention, and showed up for lunch here with a group of 30. everything had been setup nicely until some of our party rearranged their seating. the manager got a bit flustered, but our waiters, Phil & Jeffrey, saved the day with their energetic service, attention to detail, abundant Patience!, and especially Phil's great sense of humor and entertainment. it lightened the mood and saved the day. THX !

Me and my friends went to this restaurant and it was amazing. The moment we entered, we were met with a very positive staff, quick service and an amazing host named Christina! She was a wonderful lady. She had very positive and welcoming energy and she’s truly one of the nicest people we’ve ever met! The food is wonderful and freshly made! If you haven’t had the chance to go, I would highly recommend it!

Lo primero que ya no será posible es aparcar en el parquímetro junto al restaurante, incluida la manzana, porque el servicio de aparcacoches ha ocupado todos los lugares de aparcamiento. Tuve que conducir al menos 8 veces para encontrar dónde podía encontrar estacionamiento en la calle que estuviera a una distancia más corta caminando y que no tuviera que estacionar en un garaje costoso. No había estado aquí desde al menos 2019 y muchas veces antes de eso a lo largo de los años. Caminé para usar el baño y los pisos estaban pegajosos como si alguien hubiera orinado por todas partes. El menú es muy limitado si no quieres pedir porciones familiares. Además, no querer llevarse las sobras a casa es un problema. Si has estado aquí a lo largo de los años, había bolígrafos rojos e imanes gratis para llevar a casa. Me dijeron que, debido a los recortes presupuestarios, el director ejecutivo de la empresa se llevó muchas cosas. Luego, si buscas en Google, encontrarás que la QUIEBRA reciente se presentó hace varios años. Parece que los restaurantes utilizan el COVID como excusa para culpar a su falta de gestión de lo que una vez fue un líder en el mercado ofreciendo excelente comida y servicio al cliente. Porciones más pequeñas de pan con queso y ajo tamaño almuerzo $ 9.99, ensalada de gorgonzola con manzana para el almuerzo $ 14.99, conchas rellenas pequeñas $ 37.99 los precios se están saliendo de control. Las conchas rellenas estaban secas y sin mucha salsa. La antigua ubicación de Castleton está cerrada permanentemente y la dificultad para estacionar y los precios hacen que no esté seguro de regresar.

I was in Indianapolis for a work trip, and a group of colleagues and I chose this Italian spot for dinner. We kicked things off with a sampler of appetizers—meatballs, fried calamari, shrimp, and fried mozzarella. The calamari and meatballs were fairly standard, but the mozzarella was nicely done, crisp on the outside and gooey inside. The shrimp stood out with a fiery after-kick that I enjoyed, though several people at our table found it a bit too spicy.
For the main course, we took advantage of a four-for-four special, which let us order four different entrées for a set price. We went with chicken mozzarella, Alfredo pasta, chicken lemon, plus a Caesar salad and garlic bread. Portions were generous—so much so that several of us had to pack leftovers. Flavor-wise, everything was solid and satisfying, though nothing particularly memorable.
That said, I should mention that my bar for Italian food is pretty high. Compared to those standards ( in Boston and NYC) the dishes here were decent but not exceptional. Still, the restaurant itself was popular and welcoming, with a relaxed, charming atmosphere. If you’re in Indianapolis and craving Italian, it’s definitely worth a visit for a casual, hearty meal
