Complimentary bread
Tiffany N.

Pretty impressed with the pasta sauce; pasta texture did not have any chew which I like Complimentary bread 6.5/10 was a little tough Olive oil smelled more fragrant than it tasted Fried ravioli 8/10 Basically elevated mozzarella sticks and pretty yummy The pasta dough is was crispy and chewy Penne alla emiliana 8.5/10 Flavor was so potent if you like meaty (sausage and prosciutto) and tomato sauce Linguini frutti di marre 9/10 -1 point mainly because the pasta doesn't taste handmade/Lacking the al dente chew. It was our server's fav pasta so I had to pick this one deciding between two options It was plated so pretty too The garlic white wine sauce had a good tang to it as well which I really enjoyed Blueberry bliss 8.5/10 Prosecco based cocktail, very easy to drink Pear strawberry cocktail 6.5/10 Surprisingly kinda strong and had medicine taste I would get a glass of wine next time Vibes were nice and cozy, a little bit too dark imo Service was very nice, I got extra plate and small fork to eat my mussels without needing to ask Cannoli for birthday was free too (mentioned bday in reservation) Cannoli 7.5/10 Best cannoli I had. (I don't think this my taste Ind deserts tho hence the average score) I enjoyed the extra toppings (chocolate chips and syrup) and the shell has like cinnamon or cocoa powder or something for more flavor

Heirloom
Paige T.

Food: All of it was spectacular! First we were served fresh bread with infused oil. Bread was soft yet still crunchy and warm. Oil was superb! I loved both appetizers. The Heirloom salad dish with tomatoes, spring mix, burrata with balsamic was so fresh and tasty! The calamari had a variety of pieces and was so delicious. That aioli really set it apart. The pasta was amazing! I loved the veggies included and the protein was seasoned well. That tiramisu was one of the best in the city Service: Our server was attentive, communicative and very kind! Ambiance: It is a small, intimate vibe that really sets the stage. While I enjoy intimacy, the walk aisles were narrow. A few times servers walked with trays over my head to fit through. 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

So apparently I tried this place back in 2021 and I gave it 3 stars. I gave it another shot and went back and I really enjoyed it. We arrived right around 5pm and didn't have reservations and were able to be sat right away. At that time there were just 2 other table occupied, and it was really quiet. Upon walking in its really rim and the decor screams grown and sexy. We were sat at a really small table and felt we needed more room and asked to be move. The server moved us and agreed it was a little tight and didn't make us feel uncomfortable for asking to be moved. We ordered mussels which I must say weren't the best. They needed more flavor and they tasted a bit gritty, but I think it's hard to do mussels sometimes so not upset by it. The rest of our order was very good. I loved the service, the music and my food was good. Therefore I felt inspired to update my 3 to a 4!

Came tonight for a friend's birthday. They had a cute sign for her. The food was amazing. Definitely try the mussels. To die for. Huge wine selection, so you can't go wrong. Will be back over and over again. To much to try so....guess I will be back soon.

Tortellini alla Effie
Precious N.

We visited Sangiovese Ristorante for the first time recently and I was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance was super cute. I loved the dim lighting and the decor. Our waitress was super attentive even with us being a large party. She quickly brought everything we needed. Now on to the good part....the drinks were strong and the food was good! I started off with a strawberry lemon drop and it was absolutely delicious. It definitely hit the spot. For our appetizer, we ordered the fried ravioli which arrived to the table piping hot and crispy. The filling could have used a bit more salt, but they were good nonetheless. For my entree I had the tortellini and THAT was amazing! I finished the whole dish. It was very very flavorful and it will keep you coming back for more!

Halibut special
Madisen L.

We came here for our first time for our anniversary, we normally don't eat pasta but we wanted to give it a try! As soon as you walk in it's a very dark, steakhouse type vibe, they had an extensive wine list, and they offered some really good specials, we actually ended up ordering the specials instead of the pasta but we'll definitely try it the next time!! My fiancé got their filet special cooked medium and it was cooked PERFECTLY! He was very happy with his meal, I went with the Halibut Special they had with garlic mashed potatoes and green beans, the sauce on the halibut was soooo good! Then they brought us a special dessert for our anniversary and it was perfect for our sweet tooth! Oliver was our server and he was very attentive and made the night a good one! For sure recommend for your next date night!

Calamari Fritta
Nelson M.

This is a wonderful find around the Indianapolis area. We were struggling to figure out what restaurant to eat around the mall area. We easily got reservations on a weeknight for dinner. The staff was super friendly and the Italian food shows a layer of complexity and ingredients used. My penne alla emiliana had a wonderful depth of flavor. My only critique of this dish I wish the red onions were caramelized more. At times I felt that I was eating undercooked onions, but overall the pasta and the sauce combined well for a wonderful dish the overall ambience is sort of a quiet darken dining room. This is perfect date night restaurant. The complementary house bread was also perfect.

I had a lovely evening here with my husband to celebrate my birthday. Our waitress was so kind, helpful, and cheerful, and the ambiance was very cool. We got a table in the corner by ourself and it felt very romantic. The food was some of the best I've had in a while - I loved the goat cheese appetizer. I got a clam linguini that had my wanting to lick the sauce of my plate when it was finished. And my husband ordered a veal entre with garlic lemon butter and capers, and it may have been one of the most delicious things ever to grace my tongue. High praises for this restaurant!

Devour menu!
Linda L.

What a great place for celebrating, especially during Devour. My friend made a reservation for her bday and they had a little sign, and with dessert there was a candle to commemorate. The inside was a lot smaller than I would have thought, but there a little room off to the right. The food was great. There was a nice crusty bread with olive oil to dip, I would 100% get the soup again, my friend added the lump crab and said it was def worth it. The chicken Marsala was just right. The mashed potatoes and vegetables that came with it was yummy.

Seafood pasta special
John K.

First time to this location for a friends birthday. They were very accommodating when I requested to add two to our reservation. The ambiance is nice, it's a little loud as it's basically one room, so be prepared to talk loud. The service was friendly but slow. They were pretty busy for a Saturday, but it still took a long time to get drinks. The food was great. I don't go out for Italian food often, but this was really good. The seafood pasta special was super delicious! All in all, I would go back and would recommend.

Spicy margarita
Janelle P.

I've been to both Sangiovese locations, and you really can't go wrong with either. The Fishers spot is bigger, while the Ironworks location has a more intimate, cozy vibe -- perfect for date night. The food? Always solid. If you're in the mood for good Italian, this is a go-to.

The hostess greeted us with a smile and escorted us out to the outdoor patio, which I also requested. We were served by Nikki and Reid and both were friendly and efficient. They were great conversationalists also and made our dinner experience fun. We ordered the three meatballs and pasta appetizer, salads and the Short Rib Ragu. The salads were plentiful and did not have an over abundance of dressing, which we both loved. The meatballs were handmade that day and tasted exceptionally fresh. The Short Rib Ragu was amazing! Flavorful, with plenty of shredded Short Rib with a delicious sauce. We both raved over it. The long, flat ribbon pasta (Tagliatelle) was also fresh and delicious. We enjoyed a bottle of Italy's Pinot Nero with our meals. The only hiccup we experienced was with the Open Table credit at checkout. I was not able to access the credit unless I was connected to the Internet. Luckily, I had VPN on my phone for a safe connection. In addition, Nikki had to take my phone to the Manager so this person could validate the $16 credit. We were then given another table's bill by mistake. Nikki corrected it quickly. However, it seems the restaurant could not adjust the Open Table credit a second time for my bill and the $17 meatball appetizer was comped instead. Nikki and Reid apologized and stated they were short-staffed tonight. We said we had no problem with any of this as they did an excellent job servicing both of us tonight. Iozzo's is still my Italian restaurant pick in the Indianapolis downtown area!

I was nervous to go to such a nice place with my luggage in hand and dressed a bit casually, but from the moment I walked in, they were the warmest staff ever. First, they checked my bags for me so that I didn't have to keep them at my table. Then they gave me the front section of the restaurant to myself so that I could have some quiet and go at my own pace. They also gave me the world's best server, Tayla, who went above and beyond every step of the way. She put up with all of my particular tendencies and made sure I had everything I needed, down to my individually wrapped straw, and helped me balance the heaviness of the meal I was about to partake in. When I ordered the rigatoni, I even asked her exactly how many ounces of sausage came with it. When she told me it was three ounces, I explained that I needed a minimum of six ounces of protein with my meal. Without missing a beat, she helped me augment my dinner by adding a six-ounce chicken breast. Not only did that give me exactly what I needed that evening, but it left me with a fully prepared meal for the following day--which was especially appreciated since I was staying in a city that didn't have quite as many snazzy food options. I was so impressed by her service that I made a point of speaking to Jay, one of the managers. I told him how they had completely turned my day around and that I was so impressed by the thoughtfulness of both the food and the staff that I would be certain to return. He sat down and spoke with me for some time and even asked me to try a new mocktail they're working on that was made with something called "brush." I had never heard of it, but not only did he educate me on the topic, he made me a fan of something totally new. Then, when he learned that I had stopped by CVS to pick up iced coffee for the following morning, only to discover that they were closed, he went out of his way to send me off with espresso shots in a to-go cup so that I wouldn't have to scramble the next morning to find coffee. So incredibly considerate! It was an especially meaningful gesture because I was heading to a city where the coffee shops didn't open early enough for me to get what I needed and still be conference-ready. 10 out of 10. Everyone must visit Nesso!

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.

Our server seemed to have very little knowledge of the menu and wasn't able to answer basic questions. One example was being over charged for a spirit served neat, even though the menu specifically states there's a $3 upcharge for spirits made into cocktails. When I asked about it, the server couldn't explain the reasoning, which only added to the confusion. The timing of the food was also disappointing. We ordered everything at the same time, but the salad didn't arrive until 15-20 minutes after our entrées had already been served. By that point, it felt like an afterthought. As for the food itself, it was just okay, nothing particularly memorable and certainly not enough to make up for the service issues. Overall, there are plenty of other restaurants in Indianapolis I'd choose before returning.
