Pizza with sausage and spinach
Clinton C.

Came with some friends for dinner and had a great time! First so everyone is aware there is a cross fit gym next door and it can be loud at dinner time so request to so to the left when you walk in during the evening. We ordered a pizza and it was the perfect mix of thin but airy and crunch and the sauce and cheese made the toppings taste even better! We also ordered a few of the pasta dishes, which we all really enjoyed! I will mention that the chicken Alfredo was good but the chicken was bland and had no sort of grill marks or pan seared coloring. There was also very little chicken in the serving size. The bread that comes with meals was delicious though and service was great!

Puccini's has easily become one of my favorite pizza spots in the city. The crust is always perfectly baked, and the toppings never disappoint. My go to order is a pepperoni and bacon pizza - it's the perfect balance of savory, crispy, and indulgent. I also have to shout out their ranch, because truly, I'm obsessed (IYKYK).

Pizza
Elizabeth Z.

REALLY wanted to love this place. Absolutely adored the vibe, really feels like a mom and pop shop with young high school kids working and doing their jobs well. Place was busier than expected and we were still served quickly. 5 stars for the pepperoni bread, it was awesome Salads were also tasty and had decent portion sizes The gluten free pizza was undeniably the worst I've ever had. So rubbery, completely uncooked in the center and burnt on the edges. Never had a bad pizza before this place. Regular pizza seemed fine but definitely steer clear of the GF

BBQ Chix Calzone
Laura P.

This place is amazing! The service from all of their staff is top notch. They're friendly and take care of you with a smile on their face. There is a cash register counter for pickup orders, but we sat down to eat. I had a barbecue chicken calzone and my family had a pizza. The pizza are always great. The calzone was so good! The chicken inside of it was so tender and it had just a light amount of sauce and the plenty of BBQ to dip on the side. The breading was also perfectly chewy! Of course their garlic cheesy bread is great too! For a tiny little shop, this place really gives the best pizza parlor vibes!

shrimp pizza
Paul R.

I had some time to kill at lunchtime on a weekend before my daughter's dance competition and was nearby and craving pizza so i stopped by Puccini's. I love all the combinations and choices of toppings here. Since I was by myself I was able to order a shrimp pizza something I wouldn't be able to convince my family to try. It was excellent but I forgot it doesn't come with red sauce. Pizza was good and it was good to try something different. Crust was light and not dense so I had no problem eating the small pizza. Service was very fast and i had my lunch and ate it in 30 minutes. Definitely worth checking out and note they have very reasonable week day lunch specials.

Humble Pie Pizza -Lunch slice
Teresa M.

Called in a lunch special - slice/ salad/ drink - they have two slice choices each day (lunch only) one veggie & one meat. I went for the humble pie / salad with buttermilk herb aka ranch and an iced tea. Glad I called ahead because they said it'd be about 20 minutes to get ready. The pizza quality is excellent and high on my list of favorite pies in town. I'm on the fence if the lunch combo is a steal or just basically a regular priced deal-- comes in at 8.99 with tax and I threw the guy a dollar tip for taking the order and packaging it all up.

You will want to get a reservation because they are always full. Finding parking in downtown carmel in the evenings can be challenging but the restraint does offer valet parking for 10 dollars. The restaurant is pretty and clean. The place is pricy but you get what you pay for. Everything I've had at that place was delicious. My favorite dish is the vodka pasta, I'm addicted to whatever sauce they put in it. The photo I provided is a steak with honey glaze that was a special they were offering when I went for my birthday and it was also incredibly good. The first time I went there, I didn't like the first thing that I ordered and had to order something else. They removed the price of the thing I didn't like from the bill, which was an incredibly kind gesture that I would never normally expect a restaurant to do. The staff in general are so nice and very knowledgeable about their menu so you can trust their recommendations about things.

Another great spot in downtown Carmel.

They take a whole pineapple and let it infuse for 7 days to a bottle of Woodford. I've never had a bourbon cocktail so sweet and yet balanced. I could have these all night....i barely taste the bourbon but I'm sure it will sneak up on you. The wife had a huge spritz which was enormous. I tried it and it's definitely elderflower forward and she loved it. It took her so long to get through it I had time for a neat pour of buzzards roost. The bartenders were Emma and Steven. They were patient and even made recommendations for the food menu for when we go back.

So her is some honesty on "the experience"…read more Sat at the bar tonight and ordered a Sauvignon Blanc. It appears there is only ONE type of stemware here. One glass and it would be best for a Cabernet or a Zin. Huge glass is not how white wine should be served. Simple fix. After I ordered my food I sat and noticed the bartender running out into the restaurant to assist elsewhere. Why? Finally my food comes and the person delivering it doesn't have silverware or the normal napkin wrapped set of silverware. When I asked the person delivering the food he looked confused and lost. The bartender steps forward and lays a fork on the bar, walks back and looks for a knife. She drops that on the bar and the goes to search for a napkin. What is happening at this point? Finally the person who delivered the food returns with a nicely wrapped silverware napkin ensemble for me. I sat and enjoyed the scallops dish. As I was eating I watched the couple to my left be served food with no napkin wrapped utensils just as I was. So this stuff is simple, small but HUGE. The bartender needs to be on point for silverware and focused on the customers at the bar...in addition to the drinks for customers. The manager shouldn't be schlepping plates to the kitchen. Good servers should either be bringing utensils or the staff gives it to you immediately once they know you're eating. Simple things and so easy to fix. It is however a huge impact to the experience. These are absolutes that when missed changes peoples experiences. Decent good, poor service. Own the experience for your customers.

St Elmo's costs this but it is downtown, oh well No handicap facilities. Difficult for friend to get into business. Handrail limited, steps and very busy porch I have an allergy to soy. My friends loved this restaurant and I was hopeful they used olive oil. Oh no, soy oil. Pasta is soaked in it for storage. The only thing I could order for my meal was a plain salad and vegetable soup. Served cold but was quickly reheated. The manager and staff were very accommodating and understanding. We ordered prosecco drinks with added liquor. It was so strong that we asked for more prosecco and they graciously accommodated us My husband had salad, calamari and pasta. He said it was all good Our friends had pasta dishes and salad and they were pleased The house inside is beautiful. Hardwood floors stained glass windows, all original. WilI I go back, no. Even with me eating soup our check was about $100.00. The staff is well trained and helpful. Just seems a shame an Italian restaurant does not use olive oil. With the valet parking and lack of handicap assistance, I will be looking for a more suitable restaurant

1.10.26 - I like to pick nice restaurants for the Hub's birthday, and try places we haven't been…read moreto, so was excited to go to Portofino. It's not much to look at from the outside - in small strip mall off Fall Creek about 2 miles north of 96th, but the inside is both luxe and comfortably cozy. At just 12 tables, you get your table for the night, so there is no rush and your evening can be as long as you want to make it. They also have a gorgeous little side wine room that you can rent for parties of 6-8 for dinner. And there's a little bar area that seats maybe 4-6. We had reservations for 6pm, so there were only 2 or 3 other tables occupied when we got there, but they filled throughout the night (& we left close to 8pm). Our server Shaunda was delightful, and the owner Dan came around and checked on all the tables a few times as well. We were presented with a cous cous amuse bouche, a nice refreshing bite to start the evening. Hubs had an Italian Old Fashioned and I asked our server to pair wine for me, so it was a Decoy Sauv Blanc with our first course - the mussels. We asked for extra crostinis in order to soak up more of the delicious sauce they came in. Next was the beet arugula salad, so good! For entrees, hubs had the pappardelle bolognaise and got an iced T, and I had the short ribs with risotto, paired with a glass of cab franc. Dessert was coffee (americano) for each of us, and we split the tiramisu (see all my pics). We ate and enjoyed everything! Total with tax was right at 200 before gratuity. So this is more of a splurge place for us, (of course would be less without the beverages we did) but we will be back. It was a really pleasant evening and another big win for me picking birthday places! #yum #ReviewsByRL

Wow. I must start there. Talk about an experience, this place is what 5 stars is…read more Located in Fishers, in a spot that has been a couple other restaurants prior I wasn't really sure what to expect. Once parked (plenty of parking right outside their door), walking in it is a very intimate, maybe no more than 12 tables or so. We did have reservations, I would suggest making them to be on the safe side since it is so small. As soon as we sat down, our server came right over and explained how the menu is laid out and how the courses are brought out. I will say, this is not a place to go when you are rush. It is meant to be slow, so you can settle in and enjoy your food, enjoy the company and just be in the moment. We were probably there just over 2 hours for just the two of us. Chef Dan came out many times to chat with us and really made us feel welcome. Telling us different stories, walking us through what we were eating, and just made us feel like we were special. While everything was amazing, a few standout things I would like to mention: The Mussels were amazing, such good flavor so if you are fan, make sure you order them. The caesar salad comes disassembled, and the anchovies are sold separately, (I didn't realize it when I ordered it), we ordered a few desserts and they were all amazing. Can't go wrong there.

Also the day we walked in, the air conditioning was barely working. It was warm in there and it would've been nice if the staff initially addressed it and apologized vs us having to bring it up and ask. Would recommend this vibe for an intimate date or girls night out
