    Chicken Parmesan
    Christina B.

    We just happened to be walking by while shopping and decided to stop in. I was not expecting it to be so beautiful on the inside! The menu is on the smaller side but all the classics you'd expect. I went with the spaghetti and meatballs and my brother had the chicken parm. They were good but did seem on the expensive for what you get. The breadstick was super chewy and not my favorite. I probably would not get it again. Looking at all the other Yelp photos, the flatbreads looked amazing and might be the way to go.

    Bruschetta

    There's a lot of indoor and outdoor seating and I love the decor and lighting. We did have to wait about 10 mins for them to free up and set a table for 8 people however the service was so good, she got all of our orders right and came by to check on us often. The food was amazing! I ordered off the Devour Indy menu and I had the bruschetta, chicken piccata, strawberry gelato, and blueberry basil cocktail. Everything was so flavorful and I think that was the best gelato I've ever had!

    I really enjoyed everything about my experience at Theo's. My friend lives in the area and recommended it. Our server was nice and very kind to our 3 young children. The pasta was made fresh and the Alfredo sauce was delicious. The breadsticks and salad were also very tasty. My friend got a pizza and I think I'll probably try that next time! Pretty decor and very clean all around. I would definitely return.

    I can't say enough good things about our experience here. Four of us went for my wife's birthday and each of us loved what we had. We started with the bruschetta, which was so good that we forgot to take a picture of it before digging in. The pasta dishes were excellent, as were the pizzas. The dough and sauce specifically stood out; it was clear that both were fresh and house-made. We also got a complimentary birthday dessert, which capped off the meal perfectly. The staff was also really friendly, accommodating, and went to great lengths to make my wife's birthday special. Sean, the executive chef, made her an off-menu pesto pasta, and absolutely knocked it out of the park. Between that and his pizza dough recipe, the guy is a total pro. To sum up, this will undoubtedly be a regular place for us going forward, especially if we're spending time on the west side.

    Wonderful meal after a movie! The old Cunningham restaurant becomes a new Cunningham restaurant! The layout is the same but it appeared some minor touches were performed onsite the look. Winnie or it may have been winner was our server and she was amazing and attentive! Sean is the manager and made sure to stop by and check on our experience. PROS: wood fire pizza was on fire! calamari with shrimp was a nice appetizer wine list could be longer but they had some great Italian choices including a barbera! CONS: parking is not too bad, but a short walk overall a wonderful evening and we were able to try three different pizzas (one came out on accident and we were not charged for it).

    Theo's impressed me with their diverse menu with handmade pastas, unique pizzas, salads, and more! The restaurant ambiance was a little quieter than I'm used to since I visited on a weeknight, but the service and food was great, as Cunningham restaurants always have consistently delivered for me. I learned their pasta is handmade from Nesso downtown, so you're getting the best ingredient quality and top attention to dish detail over in Plainfield. I visited for Devour Indy and tried a three-course deal with their Brussels Sprouts Caesar salad, Potato Pizza, and Strawberry Gelato. The portions really are as big as the other reviews say - the pizza can easily serve two people, maybe even three if you get salads or starters as well. The Brussels Caesar salad was a dish I will be dreaming of having again and it balanced the richness of the cheese and cream on the pizza perfectly. I typically wouldn't leave room for dessert, but if you do the gelato is a perfect treat!

    My wife and I came here for Devour on a weeknight for dinner, and the service was very quick (Thanks, Sydney!). We sat at the bar and made a new friend! (pictured) It was relatively quiet, and the bar area is more secluded and has moodier lighting than the main dining area. The cocktails we ordered (Blueberry Basil and Italian Bird) were new flavor profiles for us and they were so good! The chopped salad and brussels sprouts caesar salad were topped with crispy pancetta, and the chopped salad had salami which I've never had before but it was delicious (coming from a guy that's usually not a fan of salads). THE STARS OF THE SHOW were the fennel & sausage pizza and the casarecce. The pasta was fresh and made that day, the fennel and sausage combo was wonderful and the dough was perfectly baked and not too crispy, and the beef and pork ragù were simply perfect. We have struggled to find a really good Italian restaurant that we both love but the entrees alone knocked it out of the park. The tiramasu looked and tasted great, and it was an excellent light finish to the meal. All for a reasonable price! Will 100% be back for the lasagna!

    I've been several times to Theo's Italian and every experience is somehow better than the previous one! Last time we went was for Valentine's Day and had an amazing time! The food was just delicious. We had the special menu for the day and every single thing was to die for! Service as always exceeding expectations, and the vibe was incredible that day. It is the first time we go to the second floor and it was just perfect too! I'm guilty of always getting the Cesar salad and extra points for the raspberry cheesecake that was unbelievable!!

    I went there for a lunch meeting on a Thursday. Great spot in Plainfield in the mall area (The Shops at Perry Crossing). I definitely want to go back for dinner because they just added some new items on the menu. The host and waitress were really nice and it wasn't crowded at all. There were only three tables occupied on the lower level. Quiet atmosphere and it was perfect for a lunch meeting. I ordered off the pick two lunch menu...pepperoni pizza and the chopped salad. Both were good. The pickled onions were amazing the pizza was t greasy at all. Prices were reasonable and the food came out pretty quick. I look forward to going back for dinner. I would definitely recommend this place for lunch.

    The bar area is very cozy. Great for after a movie!

    The travel club members ventured to Plainfield, IN near the Indianapolis airport to dine at a newer restaurant of the Cunningham Restaurant Group. Theo's opened in Fall 2023 in the Perry Crossing mall across from the movie theaters. Our group of 12+ ladies received excellent service. Our server, Ellen, was fantastic. Was it because we dined at 12 noon on a rainy January afternoon and there weren't many guests? There's nothing to compare it to-- the orders were correct, drinks were quickly served and no one had to ask for anything twice. Most of us ordered lunch special. The special allows diners to choose 2 items from a) soup; b) salad or c) pinsa-an Italian flatbread

    Breadsticks with cheese
    Debra G.

    I wish I had taken more photos. I loved the decor. Striking and comfortable. Loved the simplicity of the tables, nothing unnecessary, just napkins, flatware and a water glass. We ordered breadsticks with cheese. Both came out hot! I had soup and the Caesar salad with Brussels sprouts. So fresh and crisp. The right amount of dressing, not too goopy. At the table was also linguine, chopped salad and a pinsa. Everything was delicious. We had excellent service!

    Fried Calamari & Shrimp
    Lydia C.

    I recently dined twice at Theo's Italian in Plainfield, Indiana Meatballs: Delicious with an amazing sauce, though I wished there was more cheese on top!! So good. Breadsticks: Improved since their opening, now a standout with a variety of sauces. Before the bread was subpar. However, on my second visit, they had changed it. When talking to the waitress, she said, they listened to feedback from the service staff and changed it! This was a great decision, way to go, Cunningham! Calamari and shrimp: Good but needed more sauce; our lemon was dry, but the seafood was well prepared. Would reorder without the shrimp.. and with extra lemon just in case. Charcuterie board: Outstanding with a variety of cheeses and delightful homemade Cristinis. A solid 10/10 choice over other appetizers. If you're going to Theo's, order this showstopper. Pork Milanese sandwich: Absolutely amazing! Pair it with their spicy sauce, and the homemade chips are a must-try. Reminded me of a similar favorite dish at Livery. Highly recommend this for lunch. You can definitely take half the lunch portion home. Theo's Italian in Plainfield offers a welcoming ambiance, blending warmth and charm for an enhanced dining experience. If you dined at the previous restaurant in this location, the recent updates in decor bring a refreshing change, making it a beautiful spot for lunch or dinner. While the service staff is accommodating, there's room for improvement in their knowledge about the menu. We appreciated their efforts to address questions about food allergies, though it took a few attempts to get a definitive answer. Overall, a great place with a few areas for enhancement in food allergy knowledge.

The staff there is friendly enough, but I will admit that I only had limited interaction with them. They serve all of your favorite Italian dishes including pizza (stuffed and regular), calzones, lasagna, spagahitti, chicken dishes, veal dishes, breadsticks, soups and salads. I ordered a Caesar salad and an All-Meat Calzone. My food was prepared very fast. It was ready in less than 8 minutes and fresh and hot. The salad was strong, and luckily, that is how I like it. It was very flavorful and tasty. The calzone was really good, too. The cheese was oozing out. They have a happy hour from 3 to 5 every weekday, where patrons get a percentage off their total check. I was about an hour too early for that, though. All in all, I really enjoyed my meal here. It was delicious. It was very close to a five-star experience. I wish that I could give it a 4.5, but something was just missing. Either way, this is definitely a place that I recommend and hope to make it back here soon.

The entrees (the monkfish special and the carbonara) were good but not great. I did appreciate the crispy, smoky pancetta in the carbonara but the monkfish had a somewhat mushy texture rather than the he firmness we would normally expect. The biggest issue, though, was the check. The calamari never came off, the meatballs for the children's pasta were more expensive than what was on the menu, and we were charged for an extra calamari dipping sauce that we did not ask for. Most of these problems were fixed but the whole thing illustrated a lack of attention to detail and an appearance of up-charging the customer in any way possible.
