Review Iozzo's Garden Of Italy - Indianapolis

Visited this place with my work group. The place is not easy to find for out of town folks. Since we were dining on a week night, we had no trouble finding parking there. The place has a warm and cozy ambience to it. We were seated in a ping table and the server gave us full overview of the menu and great recommendations. The service was quick. Food was good too. The portion size was bigger than we expected and couldn’t finish our entrees. We ordered Burrata, calamari and garlic bread as our appetizers. Lamb chops, salmon Mediterranean, chicken parmigiana, eggplant parmigiana, spaghetti were the main courses we ordered alongside scorers salad, soup of the day and mixed green and caesar salad. We ordered Italian margarita and Venetian breeze. Both were great. The bathroom was clean and well maintained. Given a chance I would recommend to visit this gem at-least once.

Incredible food and beautiful, relaxing atmosphere! Celebrated my 3 year anniversary with my husband and we always try to find a new place to splurge as we don't go to fancy restaurants other than special occasions. Not only was the service great, but the food was amazing. I had the BEST shrimp scampi I've ever eaten and the basil garlic bread was everything this pregnant lady needed. You will spend at least $32+ per person, but the food is worth it! Great for special occasions

OMGoodness! This little spot is definitely a hidden gem in Indianapolis. (Nevermind the Tik Tok reviews 🙄) As we entered this quaint little place the atmosphere was definitely a vibe as we were greeted to a small but nostalgic dining room with giant photos on the walls of The Familly. (Iozzo) Which seemed to include everything from mobsters to chefs. Oh before I get too far, let me apologize for not having more photos. It’s so small and intimate I didn’t want to encroach on the privacy of the customers as it was, and normally is, a fully seated venue. We called ten minutes before arriving and was able to get a “Table top” which is considered the bar/lounge area. After being seated we decided to just move to the bar cause we felt so cramped and in the way. Turns out we met the most charismatic bartender ever, named “Phil”. Shout out to “Phil” who made our experience even more fabulous as the night advanced. He definitely knew his wines and even offered suggestions as to which wines would go with their classic and recommended entrees. We started with the Basil cheese garlic bread which just melted in your mouth as all the flavors complemented each other and the pomodoro sauce was icing on the cake, so to speak! Then the market salad, which was a unique blend of fanciful flavors that danced across the palette. The Lasagna Bolognese had an interesting flavor that I couldn’t quite pin point, but I’m imagining that the 5 cheeses blend had something to do with the extravagant flavor of this popular dish. And the classical Chicken Parm was on point as well. All in all, this was a semi magical experience that you’re not gonna expect from a place this small and tucked away in the middle of a city construction project. Iozzo’s is a MUST for your favorite Italian cuisine! Cómo siempre, “Salud y Aprovecho!” 🥂

Ate here for dinner before the Indy Marathon. We didn't think to make reservations but they were able to sit us quickly. We were sat outside in their patio area and it was very quaint and well mantained. The food was divine. It did take awhile to come, but our server was very attentive and they were quite overwhelmed with other marathon runners. My husband got the Eggplant Parmesan and I got the piccata with Scallops. I want to lick my plate at the end it was so good.

Iozzo's was a great find for lunch while I was in Indy. Great and knowledgeable staff and amazing food. The bread bites were a great appetizer and the Italian wedding soup was fantastic. Finally the Rigatoni alla Vodka had one of the best pasta sauces I've had in an Italian restaurant. I look forward to going back for dinner to try their crab tortelli.

Authentic Italian drinks. Ever heard of an Italian Margarita? Amaretto, orange juice and other ingredients make for a smooth drink. Appetizers, (delicious cubes of fresh, warm bread and fresh tomato dipping sauce started the evening. Great selection of appetizers, main course meals, and desserts. Who says real men don't eat chocolate? We all tried different menu items. I had the lemon chicken Piscataway. My hubby had a steaming dish of lasagna with meatballs. The last bite was still hot! One dish was ribs. All come with pasta and soup or salad.

Great place for Italian food in Indy. I had a Caesar salad and a rigatoni with sausage. Both were incredibly good. The drinks were also well made.

I visited late Wednesday night for a solo dinner, and happened upon live music on the patio and half price wine by the glass. The service was friendly from the host stand all the way through the dinner, dessert and toast . My shrimp scampi was seasoned perfectly and complimented well by a nice pour of Pinot Grigio. The House salad was dressed well and very refreshing. I’d suggest something other than the Tiramisu, mostly because it was not the best chocolate crumb and lacked the punch of rum. Call me boozy!

My husband and I ate at Iozzo's for our 12th anniversary last weekend. It was a Saturday night, so it was busy but our server was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and came out quickly. Drinks were also very good and I was impressed with how quickly my Lemoncello martini came out. My drink was out before my husband had even decided what drink he wanted to order. We started with the cheese bread, which was phenomenal. My husband had the Rigatoni vodka, which he loved. He was a big fan of the house made sausage. I tried it and also enjoyed it. I had the lasagna. It was incredibly cheesy, just the way I like it. I upgraded to the Gem salad, which was a really good version of a wedge salad. If you love blue cheese/gorgonzola, this salad will hit the spot. We definitely plan to return!

This was one of the best Italian meals I've had.. absolutely delicious! Call & make reservation.

This was our 1st time going there. We went based on a review that we saw said it was good and worth the visit. Our daughter was in from Ireland and we were showing her around downtown so we thought well let's try it and then we went in and found out it was a place that usually has about a 2 month long waiting list. We got seated right away at a table in the the bar area but it was still very nice. I did not catch our servers name but he was wonderful and did a superb job and the place was packed. My daughter had a scallop pasta my wife had shrimp scampi,and I had Is crab tortellini. Beyond fresh beyond and cooked beyond perfection. I have never used this word in a review for food but I will now and that is this place it was succulent it was amazing.

Server spent time explaining menu items. Was our first time and his suggestions were perfect for us!! Gorgeous and sat outside and was so beautiful

My husband and I shared our first Valentine’s Day as a married couple at this delicious restaurant. The staff, especially our server Wayne, was great and his recommendations were perfect. We had the Chicken Parmesan with home made noodles, and the Lasagna. The atmosphere was cozy and the overall experience was a delight. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Wow! Our foodie group recommended this place and they were right! Every single thing we ordered was amazing! The bread, the salads, and entrees, and the deserts were all amazing. It is a beautiful cozy place on South Meridian and it is well worth your trip. Our server, Chris was awesome! He was knowledgeable, kind, caring, and he really took care of us. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic, delicious Italian food.

We had a really great dinner at this intimate place! The drinks were amazing , I would definitely recommend the Italian margarita if you like amaretto. The dinners come with side salads and bread for appetizers and the lemon dressing that comes on the salads is soooo good. Dessert was amazing. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful place! It was me and my wife's first time here! We came here after they had their remodel for a day date. It was stunning. The food was great. We had the veal Marsala, the spaghetti, and calamari. Their food was amazing. The service was excellent. Our server, Jordan was awesome. This place truly is a gem 💎. We can really see why this place has garnered so many positive reviews!

We shared the meatball martini to start, had a couple of cocktails, and ended with two big to-go boxes because we had so much leftover! The shrimp scampi was phenomenal, and the bread was freshly made. It's a cute date night spot.

Had a wonderful birthday dinner for my mother. Great bartender, wonderful atmosphere and amazing food. The best tomato soup I've ever had.
