Great food, Great Service, Great Atmosphere. Enjoyed a wonderful Birthday with Dinner at Vicino. The patio was wonderful and the food was fresh and well prepared. Good selection of vegan and vegetarian options. Nice selection of wines.
In the heart of Indianapolis, this is the perfect spot, hard to miss. Great indoor and outdoor atmosphere with fast and friendly service. The food was delicious and a must if you are in the area. You won't be disappointed.
I've lived in Indy my entire life and no where in this city can you get a better weekend brunch than Vicino. And the service is impeccable. Thanks Larry C
Came here with a friend and the overall experience was good. The minute we walked in we were quickly serviced and taken to our table. Our waiter was very patient with us as we scanned over the menu and gave us great recommendations as well! We started with the bruschetta for the table and it was good. Nothing memorable but also not terrible by any means! For our main we decided to split the Funghi pizza. Taste was good but we couldn't really taste the black truffle oil promised. Finally it was dessert time. I ordered the tiramisu and was a bit disappointed. Couldn't really taste anything and didn't really like the coffee caviar on top of it. Overall the experience was just okay.
This place was amazing. I'm branching out to try new things and vicino did not disappoint! We tried several items and I will 100% be back. Their pepperoni pizza (sounds basic) but it was so good! Caesar salad was meh. Crab ravioli and arancini were to die for Friends bday celebration so she got a complimentary tiramisu. Waiter was awesome. Quick service and very clean and nice establishment with Beautiful decor
I went for a solo lunch and the food was amazing ! I sat outside enjoying the fresh air and a nice cocktails. I started with the meatball appetizer...and I would go back for those alone ! 10/10. I then asked my server, my famous question "what's your favorite thing..from each category?" He was very knowledgeable and helpful. He talked the chicken parm sandwich up, and it didn't disappoint! I typically cannot finish all of my food, but this day, I DID!! Everything was so yummy, and I will visit again. I crave Italian cuisine quite often, but I don't just want an olive garden. I'm glad I have found somewhere else to visit !
We went in around 4:30pm on Saturday. The place was pretty empty since we got there early but by the time we were ready to leave, the place filled up. Parking was convenient for us since we were able to grab a spot right front of the restaurant. Food was great overall. We had appetizers to dessert and they were all good. We are looking forward to go back and try other things on the menu.
Cute place had always wanted to give it a try as I love Italian food. Was looking for somewhere with a happy hour special and liked their options. It was fairly empty when we went and we sat outside on the small and quaint patio. Our server was very nice and attentive. My mom enjoyed her lasagna and my burger was okay (3/5) it lacked seasoning on the burger patty. They have happy hour Monday-Friday from 3-6 PM.
Loved the funghi pizza, so good! Had a Blue Tang Clan drink and the name alone is worth ordering it for but the drink was great too. The place is adorable. Elegant yet casual and welcoming. Our waiter, William, was just the right amount of attentive and fun while giving us space to enjoy conversation and food. We'll be back!
We asked for outdoor seating and given table on sidewalk, which was not so great. Ordered spritzers which were good, not stirred. We got Arancini which was our best plate. They were properly done with shell and on a bed of marinara that was lovely. I got the Ragu, which advertised capers and peprocini in the dish... I didn't find them and it was cohesive with lamb and bits of mushroom, carrots and zuchini they add after the long cook, so they have texture. Missed capers. My wife is Lasagna fan and Beschamel Sauced lasagna is something we learned from our milanese family. This Lasagna has a goat cheese variant in it and the Beschamel sauce was just on plate prior plating. Not good. Unfortunately. Server was attentive but they have no floor captains or kitchen runners... so service is stressed. Likely to return for lunches but dinner was disappointing.
Has a girls date here right after work to grab an express martini and fries. What more could a girl want?? The bartenders were fun to talk to and we had such a nice time. Would definitely come back here for a date night or girls night.
First time going here and it has a nice ambiance with low lights and nice decor. The seating is a little tight but it can accommodate a lot of guests. It was pretty busy for a week night so service was just a little slower understandably so. The food was okay and felt a little high for the price point. It was $26 for 5 jumbo shrimp and this was an appetizer. We ordered the calamari, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken piccatta, and steak. We weren't really impressed but if you're not worried about pricing, it's worth a try.
We wanted to spend this beautiful weekend outdoors since summer is quickly passing us by. Passed by many times so we made a reservation just to be safe. Thankfully we were the second ones there. We were greeted by a lovely young lady. The inside was just so beautiful. The bar area was so bright and inviting. We sat outside to enjoy the weather. Rico was our server. Such a lovely human great smile and I really appreciate that he took the time to go over some of his favorite things on the menu. We ordered some drinks first. A Bloody Mary for my bf and I decided on the mimosa. Wow the Bloody Mary was definitely a treat especially with the dill in it! That really made it pop and my tastebuds were on a nice little high. My mimosa was quite delightful, I loved the pulp and flute it was in. We ordered the breakfast panini and the cannoli waffles....we always share so I typically order the sweet and he the savory. It was so nice outside on the patio. Very good area and the music was great. Rico brought our food out and wow the presentation was amazing. I couldn't wait to dig in! The cannoli waffles are absolutely amazing! The creme and pistachios were so delicious complimenting the whole dish. I love that the fresh fruit was accompanying it as well. The breakfast panini was definitely a great pair for the sweet treat. The pesto was really tasty and definitely complemented the sandwich with some extra love there. We sat for a few and enjoyed some more drinks and Rico was very kind and checked up on us several times. Definitely going to have to come back for dinner and cocktails sometime. Glad we chose this place for our brunch! read more
I had came here due to me randomly trying a restaurant I never tried before. I will say the service was great from the time I entered the building until the time left. The restaurant was clean and very calm. I had ordered the Chicken Parm and a non alcoholic drink which both were very good. The prices of the items were very reasonable and didn't disappoint at all. The chicken Parm definitely tasted like your rich Italian food. If you are looking for a good Italian restaurant then you should definitely stop here. read more

A perfect solo dinner at Vicino! I had the most relaxing and enjoyable solo dinner at Vicino. The service was absolutely wonderful--special shoutout to Sam, who noticed I had added a single ice cube to my white wine earlier in the evening. When she brought my next glass, she had already included one perfect giant cube, just the way I liked it. That attention to detail really made me smile! The picante pizza was absolutely delicious--spicy, flavorful, and just what I was craving. I paired it with a fresh, crisp Caesar salad that hit all the right notes. Sitting outside in the perfect mid-70s weather, watching the world go by in Indianapolis, made it all even better. Such a great vibe, amazing food, and welcoming service--I'll definitely be back! read more
Positive: I really enjoyed the drinks here, they have a great location on mass ave, the staff is really friendly, the ambiance is really nice with the plants hanging from the ceiling, dim lighting, etc. Improvement: I would say the food needs some improvement. I got the oysters and why do they have so much salt. Firstly, since the light was dim I thought it was bread crumbs so I got a big spoonful and put it in my mouth. That was disgusting, no dish needs that amount of salt. The waiter was so friendly and recommended the chicken Marsala, like 6 of us got it and we all thought it was just okay. Other people thought there plates were just okay too. I would love to see this place succeed, but I think the dishes need improvement especially with so many competing restaurants around. read more
The seasonal mocktail was quite tasty. My server described it as warm spices, and on this warm October evening I wasn't sure if that was the thing to get but I enjoyed it. I'd described it as apple cider meets pumpkin spice, with visual elements of Christmas. The arancini was just ok. I've had ones with very satisfying, thick crunchy crisp exteriors. These were more of an oven baked crispness. The chicken marsala was unfortunately a bit underwhelming. The sauce wasn't as marsala forward as I'd like, not sure if it needs more marsala or maybe a little lemon juice to brighten it up. The olive tapenade also darkened the flavor considerably so it just wasn't the profile I was hoping for. The chicken could also use a little more seasoning. Large portion though, I did not need to also get the arancini! read more

Vicino offers a fantastic blend of atmosphere, creativity, and flavor that keeps me coming back. (Fun fact: the "c" in Vicino is pronounced like "ch," which I didn't know at first!) The space itself is charming, with huge windows overlooking Mass Ave, giving the interior a bright, open feel. The patio, situated on the corner, has lush greenery that adds a bit of privacy, perfect for a relaxing outdoor experience. Bonus: It's dog-friendly, which makes it even better. Both times I sat at the bar, and each visit was outstanding. Julian, the bartender on my first visit, is truly a master of his craft. With 90% of the cocktails on the menu curated by him, I trusted his ability to mix something unique based on my spirit of choice--and he did not disappoint. He seems to love experimenting, and his passion shows in every sip. On my second visit, Devin was behind the bar and proved just as talented, accommodating my desire to switch things up again with different spirits. I also had the pleasure of trying the food on my first visit, and it was absolutely delicious, pairing perfectly with the drinks. Overall, Vicino delivers a stellar experience across the board, with the only small downside being the lack of a trash can by the bathroom door for those who prefer to use a paper towel to exit. But that's a minor detail in what is otherwise a great spot. read more

My girl and I came here randomly for dinner and was not disappointed. I was so impressed with the environment and how peaceful it was. I will say it was a small restaurant but it was super cute. The service was good! We had my yoga instructor from the hot room as our server and he did amazing. I think his name was Jake! But the food was really good. I ordered the pizza it was decent but I really loved my girls dish- it was so flavorful and the portion was good. I want to bring my babe here! I will be back read more
We got a reservation for a dinner for our group of five, and had a lovely meal at Vicino! I really liked the bright, luxe-feeling decor and upbeat atmosphere. They have a very good wine and cocktail menu, and even a wonderful mocktail. We started with a couple orders of the Bread & Herb Oil, and I definitely recommend this to my fellow focaccia-lovers out there. The mixed olives on the side of the plate were a great snack too, and I happily ate more than my fair share of them. For entrees, we got the Tagliatelle Bolognese, the Chicken Marsala, the Pesto Chicken, the Shrimp Pasta, and the Osso Buco. I got the Shrimp Pasta, and it was excellent; I'm a sucker for a lemony white wine sauce and it had wonderful flavor. The shrimp themselves were delicious, well-seasoned and well-cooked. I would have liked a bit more of the sauce, since the noodles were a touch on the dry side, but it was a very minor thing. I also got to try the Osso Buco, which was incredibly tender and tasted great. The lone blemish on the meal was the chocolate cake I got for dessert. Other folks enjoyed the Tiramisu and Lemon Bars, so I think my cake was an outlier, but the cake was very hard -- I could barely get a fork through it -- and tasted odd, as though something in it had spoiled. Like I said, my friends' desserts were all good, so mine does appear to have been the exception rather than the norm, but it was a bummer to end on that note. Bottom line: Five stars for ambience, entree, and mocktail -- but a deduction for a super disappointing dessert. read more

Came here before a concert at Old National. We mentioned to our server that we were running a little behind and he did a fabulous job of taking our order quickly and bringing out our food as soon as it was ready. The vibe is the place is really cute too. Food is good, just a little pricey, imo. I got the pesto gnocchi, which was fine, but I'd probably get the lasagna next time. My friend got it, and it looked delicious. Overall we had a fine experience! Would recommend before a show! read more
We were walking down Mass Ave trying to figure out where to eat. We saw Vicino had a nice outdoor seating area and it was a beautiful day so we stopped in. It took about 5 minutes to get us a table outside. While we waited, I looked around and there was plenty of inside seats. Once seated our server took our order. The service was ok, she not very friendly but nevertheless got us everything we needed. We had mixed reviews of our food. The Wood Oven Chicken was well portioned, I was told it tasted great. The Pesto Chicken was underwhelming, the gnocchi takes over the dish and there wasn't enough pesto. The Seared Scallops tasted great along with the polenta however I felt it could have been better portioned considering the price point. The Pizza (not sure which one was ordered and forgot to take a picture) was small, thin, and I thought it was also pricey for what you got. The drinks were pretty and all tasted great. Overall my experience was ok and nothing really stood out. read more

Was in town for a work convention and we were all craving some Italian. Looked at a few places and stumbled upon Vicino, perused the photos and knew this was the one! And wow!! Exceeded all of our expectations! For appetizers we got the focaccia and herb oil, calamari and bbq oysters. All so so delicious! The herbed oil was the star, as we asked for another side to drizzle onto everything! For our salad, we got the Caprese and this was one of my favorites! The two types of pesto sauce were immaculate and added the perfect layer of flavor. I shared the mushroom pizza and carbonara with a coworker - both so good, fresh and flavorful as well. My boss got the lamb shank and couldn't stop raving about it. He said it was in his top 3 meals he's ever had in his life! We were absolutely stuffed at this point and couldn't do any dessert, but these looked good as well. Our server was incredible and the owner even stopped by to say hi. Overall, Vicino was amazing and we'll be sure to put this on our list again for the next time we're in Indy. PS - the artwork, interior design (lighting and chairs) were my absolute fave and I greatly appreciated the attention to detail!! Keep it up, Vicino! read more
If you have time to have lunch downtown this week I highly recommend the Devour Indy menu at Vicino Indy. Located on Mass Ave at corner of Alabama. $25 pp gets you 3 courses of exceptional quality. I had the caprese, burger and limoncello bar. My hubby had zuppa toscano, cacio e pepe, and the doughnuts. Large portions, fresh pasta, creamy sauce, this meal was a dream! Also Rico was an amazing server! Note: Will be happy to go back outside of Devour as many items on the menu looked delicious! read more

I've visited Vicino a few times and I've always had a pleasant experience. Each time, the staff has been exceptional! I love the decor and the cute little photo opps that are around. The food is good. I always request salt and pepper because it can be a bit lacking in flavor, but it's usually an easy fix. My favorite is the calamari and the fungi pizza. read more

We had a wonderful experience at Vicino last week before a show at the Murat. The food was delicious and there was a terrific variety - something for everyone. Cocktails were yummy and very fun (although pricey). We especially loved the atmosphere on the patio. read more

It was my friends birthday yesterday and so we had a whole day of activities planned which ended with dinner at Vicino. When choosing a restaurant we wanted somewhere nice and hopefully a place he hadn't been. Because it was a surprise we didn't know he had been to the restaurant soon after they opened. The restaurant decor is beautiful. One side is more casual with bighter lights and higher tables and the other side is more formal with lower lighting and an almost romantic ambiance. We were seated at our table immediately after arriving and our server briefly told us the restaurant approach to Italian food. After perusing the menu, we ordered. I got the Funghi pizza, my friend got the carbonate and added chicken and the birthday boy settled on the Caesar salad. He asked our server the size of the salad and she indicated it would be a decent portion. However, when our meals were brought to the table, the salad was more the size of a side salad on an entree plate and it was soggy and wilted. He asked the server for a fresh salad which was handled quickly. We both noticed that our server's demeanor changed from the moment he asked for a fresh salad and it was almost like she had an attitude. At one point, she came back to the table and cleared away our side plates and unused utensils. She also cleared away my friends plate since he was done with his salad. Since he hadn't touched the cheese crisp, she didn't ask him if he was done first before removing the plate. When we got our bill, our other friend realized that the chicken she added to her carbonara was a $7 upcharge. When the server asked if she wanted chicken with her carbonara, she should have mentioned how much the upcharge was. Most places will tell you how much an additional charge to expect and I also understand she could have asked. My friend was also not happy with the size of the salad since he had eaten there before and got the same thing and it was much larger/filling. I usually give a restaurant two chances when I have a less than stellar experience but this one that I doubt I'd visit again for awhile. read more
We had an amazing experience here and randomly stopped in for date night when we found ourselves near Mass Ave. The restaurant feels very upscale and I love how it looks. They have a nice outdoor patio too for warmer weather. We started with the arancini, and they were absolutely delicious, and I really loved the sauce they were plated in. I decided to try a pizza and went for the Tuscano pizza which had a lemon arugula, artichokes and prosciutto. This pizza was delicious, it was so fresh and the flavor combinations worked so well. I hadn't had anything like this before. Our waitress was great, and helped give us with menu suggestions. read more

So I had a craving for calamari and saw this place close to my office. I ordered online, so not much interaction with the staff other than picking up my food. The online system toast said my food would take 30 minutes but I know calamari doesn't take that long to prepare so I went sooner and my gut was right so I do wish I would have received a notification once the food was actually ready but the food was fresh and tender, the 2 sauces paired well with the seafood, I will return for dinner soon to enjoy the full experience they offer, I'm intrigued! read more
Vicino is a great addition to Mass Ave. with a wonderful patio. The food is a bit on the pricier side, but worth the money for a special night out. We started with the bread and herb oil. The fish was flavorful, as was the spaghetti and meatballs. Try one of their mock tails, you won't be disappointed! read more
The old Hedge Row location revamped and they did a beautiful job. The entire restaurant has a light and airy welcoming feeling. We visited a few days after they opened and the service was great, the menu full of delicious choices. The only problem was that seemingly all our dishes were very salt heavy and I mean just plain too salty. We did let the manager know. We revisited this time for brunch and everything was wonderful (no overpowering salt). Loved the variety of options. Innovative as well as traditional brunch items are available here. Just as alwasy, parking along Mass Ave can be an issue. read more

First thought was the decor was super cute but the restaurant is very loud. We were seated near the door with 2 huge party groups next to us back to back and it was hard to have a conversation. I found myself having to talk very loud or ask my table mates to repeat themselves. The food was okay- The calamari tasted very artificial. They were thick sticks, reminded me of the fake crab you buy in the grocery. The sauces were flavorful but I would definitely pass on this appetizer. The pesto chicken gnocchi had really good flavor. The gnocchi were perfectly cooked. There were very tough pieces of something in the dish, I couldn't tell what it was because it didn't have flavor and it was dark so I couldn't see it. I couldn't eat around it though. If those very tough things weren't in there the dish would have been better. The portion was pretty good. I'm told the lamb Ragu was pretty good and the portion was very large. The birthday tiramisu plate was cute. Great presentation and just enough for a few bites for everyone to try it. Overall, it's worth trying and I'm glad I went. I'd be interested in trying the other appetizers and maybe a different main dish, or asking for the hard things to be removed. read more
Went here tonight for dinner with my son and his girlfriend. Nice restaurant, nice atmosphere and good food. Our waitress was very good and really attentive. They have a nice selection of appetizers, salads, pasta dishes, pizza and other main courses to select from. This place appeared to be pretty busy but the food came out quickly. I walked by the kitchen and everything that I saw was being made from scratch. We started with their bread & oil appetizer that is also served with an assortment of olives. The bread was really good - just wish there would have been a couple of more slices served. My son ordered the Carbonara Dish which he said was really good. His girlfriend had the Chicken Pesto Dish and asked to swap out the gnocchi for spaghetti pasta. The restaurant changed the pasta without an issue. I had their Caesar Salad and Pizza Picante. Great taste and serving sizes. The pizza was well made. When I come back to visit Indy again, I will make this a place to revisit!! read more

Stopped by this newer restaurant on Mass Ave. Was glad to see a quality restaurant take over this great space. The Arancini was a great appetizer, with crispy thin breading and melty risotto center. I thought it was perfectly seasoned. The Osso Bucco was the best I've had in a long while and would definitely order again! read more

Great wine and an amazing charcuterie board! We sat at the bar and Devin made sure we had everything we needed when we needed it! Since it was middle of the day on a Friday, it wasn't overly crowded nor busy so it was a great first experience! read more
My husband and I stopped in for the first time on our self care day. It was around 3ish so the lunch menu was being served but we didn't see too much of a difference between the lunch and dinner menu so we dug in. This is my new favorite 'pretty' restaurant. For me, presentation is key. We sat at the bar because we like to change it up but I can see meeting a group of friends to dine in the large area or patio. Service was great, no disappointment there. Everyone was knowledgeable and shared what they liked. We got a couple of drinks, appetizers and lunch. The dessert options didn't make me 'have' to get anything which was fine because I was full by then. Appetizers: meatballs, loved and they have a little spicy kick which I like. The Arancini was good but the snuck mushrooms in which I'm not a fan of and didn't see on the menu. Main dishes: seafood pasta and pesto chicken. Both were good but needed more meat. We need a little more meat. read more

Overall good experience. I went here for Mother's Day and it wasn't busy. I had a reservation, but for some reason when I arrived the hostess seemed confused and what appeared to be the manager had to help her. After some awkward pauses he showed us to our table. He then offered a different table, which we accepted, but it still needed to be cleaned. Once seated, I began checking out the menu, which to my surprise was a bit limited. Entrees are only pastas and pizza. There are a few apps and then salads. Though the selections are not abundant, the food we ordered was all very tasty and we enjoyed all the items. Our waitress was friendly and helpful and the restaurant has a lovely bar and nice design and decor. read more
