Pepperoni pizza, cheese pizza, and breadsticks. We get our pizzas with light cheese. Some of its already eaten, of course.
Cody K.

Easily my favorite pizza place in/around the Indianapolis area. The pizza itself is excellent, even when you're eating it cold the next day. The breadsticks have a nice garlic butter and parmesan flavor to them and are always really soft. Everything on the menu is reasonably-priced, especially when you take the good quality of the food into consideration. On top of that, the staff has always been nice in each of our previous experiences. I've honestly got nothing bad to say about them. I'd love it if they opened more locations around Indy, but if they don't, I'll happily continue going out of my way to get them. They're worth the trip.

Buffet

Got here right at 8:05pm and to my surprise, the cut off for the buffet is 8pm. We asked the person at the counter if it was possible to still get the buffet with what was left (there were still a few mostly full pizzas left!) and the cashier let us participate in the buffet - even at a discounted price! Although the quality was slightly lacking because the pizza was about to be tossed for the night, the flavor was still there! Such a great experience and I greatly appreciate the cashiers willingness to offer us the buffet after hours. I will certainly be returning! Sooo much food at a wonderful price!

First time here as I usually go to Mama Nita's in Greenfield. They kept the buffet fresh and asked if I had a special request. Not too many people eating Buffet but the carry out orders never stopped! There were as many as 8 people working & I mean working. Like a great oiled machine. Back to the food. No complaints here. Good Pizza Mama Nita.

Very small salad bar. It didn't tempt me. Many pizzas to choose from on the buffet. Some were hot, fresh and delicious, others cool and not so good. Very tasty breadsticks AND they had cheese for them! Ice cream bars for dessert, but no diet pop!! That's bad!! No diet pop? What about diabetics? Included in the buffet also is popsicles or ice cream bars.

We were in the area and looking to try something new when found this Italian spot. The location is decent size and has a bar side with seating and then another room that appeared to be dining for all ages. Within walking in we were seated immediately in the bar area and our waiter was over within seconds along with the manager who were both hospitable during our stay. We started off with the warm bread with Parmesan crusts and oil/vinegar. House salads and a Cesar salad with anchovies were next and satisfactory! Next came the garlic/butter muscles that were cooked perfectly with flavor and that sauce was amazing soaking up with mussels and bread! We ordered the lasagna, chicken piccata and gnocchi brown butter with sausage. The dishes were amazing and everyone enjoyed the flavors and freshness. Dessert was cannolis and cheesecake. All in all we def will be back to try more dishes and I will definitely be trying other cheesecake flavors. Everything was made well and had great flavor. This is definitely a spot to check out.

If I make it back here, I would just order that as an appetizer and an entre. I couldn't believe how big it is. For the entre I had the $22.50 Baked Ziti. Another monster portion. I can see why my Dad loves this place. These are some of the biggest serving sizes around anywhere. For dessert we had $12 Blueberry cake. It was really good, but I was too full to have more than a bite. Cool, friendly local spot with monster portions. This is certainly the place to come to if you're super hungry.

What a perfect excuse to go back and verify that my first experience was no fluke! They impressed again with what could be the best calamari fritti I have ever had. The calamari itself was melt in your mouth tender and the breading was both light and flavorful. The lemon herb aioli? On point! The first time I ate there, I ordered the branzino - which was amazing. Tender, flaky, and mild with the perfect crispiness in the exterior. Everyone who ordered it on this second visit raved about it. For my second visit, I branched out to the carbonara which was as beautiful on the palate as it looked in the bowl. A perfect crunchiness of the pancetta counterbalanced the tenderness of the pasta which was prepared to a perfect al dente. I reviewed a carbonara from a different restaurant earlier this year and now have an apples to apples comparison that heavily favors Vicino. Service was outstanding despite being very busy that evening and the interior had a nice modern chic appearance - if that matters to you. What matters to me is the food and Vicino is now 2 for 2 in providing an experience that will definitely bring me back again!

The bottom was white, the top was burnt, the cooking wasn't even and the ingredients were nothing special. I requested to add vegetable toppings to the pizza or instead a 1/2 and 1/2 which the waitress said I could not do... I don't see why? Oh and 2 of our pizzas were sitting on the expo station under a lamp for 5 minutes until the 3rd was out, by the time it got to the table the cheese was hard and not melty. Makes no sense. Poor timing by the chef and subpar pizza overall. Also got the pesto chicken gnocchi, very oily but the flavor was good. Garlic fries were good, no comments there Overall, will not be back.

Pasto Italiano is a hidden neighborhood gem in Westfield Indiana where we have had the pleasure of…read moreeating some wonderful Italian food over the past several years. The Marsala dishes (veal and chicken) are done perfectly, as are the Piccata versions. The Spaghetti Bolognese is one of my wife's favorites, which is saying something as we have traveled to Italy several times and this is her preferred Italian dish. Posto Italiano has a wonderful story which I doubt many diners know anything about. The restaurant was founded by Patsy and Kent who were Non-Italian New York transplants. They hired a young man by the name of Mike to manage the restaurant with the understanding that Mike would buy the restaurant when Patsy and Kent wanted to sell. Mike, along with his dad Rich, bought the restaurant a few years ago and brought their Italian family recipes with them. Posto Italiano translates as the "Food of Italy". Rich put a family recipe Pasta Fagioli zuppa (soup) on the menu that is the best I've ever had (it'd more like a thick stew), and my wife loves Mike's mom Shelly's Manicotti. They replaced Patsy's meatballs with Shelly's recipe which are even better. (The one and only negative that I have with the restaurant is that sometimes the meatballs come out hard.) The wait staff are just what you want in an Italian restaurant, warm and friendly and very good at what they do. Now the reason for this review! The other night the special was Grouper Alla Piccata. Absolutely Fantastic. A perfectly cooked nice size piece of Grouper and a Piccata Sauce perfectly balanced to the Grouper, emphasizing the sweetness of the fish. Hopefully this finds a permanent place on the menu. If you've never been to Posto Italiano, give it a try - wonderful food at a very reasonable price. You won't be disappointed.

Had no idea this restaurant was here and am so glad to have discovered it…read more Great food, cute decor and extremely friendly and competent staff. Can't wait to go back and try more menu items.

Five ladies arrived 1/2 hr early for our 7:00 reservation and were seated immediately. 15 minutes later a basket of delicious focaccia bread arrived, then shortly afterward our drink orders were taken. Water is bottled. Our waitress explained that she was not a waitress and was just helping out. We ordered from the ala cart menu and a prix fixe menu is also available. Our food was delivered 30 minutes later. The chicken fettuccine was excellent, freshly made noodles in a flavorful creamy sauce with the most tender chicken pieces. The butternut squash soup was watery and the spring mix salad was mostly lettuce. The interior of the restaurant is unassuming. Our bills were placed on the table for us to sort out. Menus change frequently. My four star rating is for the delicious pasta dishes. Portions are generous. To be fair, we did arrive earlier than expected so giving a pass for the delays.

It is worth the drive!!! All pastas are made fresh. The staff was so friendly and accommodating! They have a piano player as well...what a treat! I sat in the back corner and took it all in! The food was outstanding, I ordered Linguine Frutti di Mare- homemade linguine ( delicious) served with clams, mussels, scallops? Shrimp, cherry tomatoes, evoo, garluc, parsley cooked in a white wine sauce!!! As you can see I absolutely hated it... lol! I has an expression and lava cake for dessert. The lava cake was a little overcooked- that is the only complaint.... Other than the lady sitting across the table from me that talked loud enough for the whole restaurant to hear her conversation. I wish people would be more observant and realize they don't have to talk so loud when they're sitting at their table it made it difficult to hear the piano player and it went from a relaxing stress free feeling to an annoyance. I was so happy when her food arrived. This place is very special. It's very small. I got in because it was very early in the evening. I believe their doors open at 5 o'clock. I would highly recommend reservations, but if you have a special occasion that you're celebrating, and it appeared that several people did this is worth the drive!

The experience comes with either rigatoni or Alfredo noodles with Guanciale. The noodles and sauce were good but the pork cheek was not for us. 1/2 of the bites were pure fat. The rest of the meal was outstanding including the calamari/shrimp appetizer, Caesar salad, and the caprese salad. We already talked about going back to try other main courses. They had 3 options for nonalcoholic mocktails/drinks so that would be an improvement they could make especially for the non drinkers that would still like a NA wine pairing with a nice Italian dinner. You can bring your own with a $15 corking fee. The ambience was relaxing and romantic. They had orchestral music of popular songs so it was fun guessing what songs they were. There was a piano in the center of the restaurant and the mood lighting made the place seem even more cozy.
