    The food was very good & "clean" tasting. Authentic Italian. From the greens to the lasagna bolognese and the tiramisu cheesecake, everything was splendid! Despite the location being in downtown Indy, there was ample free parking available. Parking is always a concern & determining factor I consider when deciding if I want to dine downtown. The ambiance and decor were beautiful. My co-worker & I had chosen Iozzo to celebrate his achievement of being accepted into law school.🥂🍾 Everything about Iozzo made our evening enjoyable! This was our first experience at Iozzo, but it will not be our last.💙

    Service was excellent and the food outstanding! Definitely get the bruschetta with ricotta appetizer. We had the spinach ravioli, chicken vodka, and chicken parmesan. All were cooked just right and the flavorings and textures were well balanced and complementary. We told the staff that we had a show and limited time and they expedited the entire meal but with no sense of rush. We recommend Maialina 10/10!

    Fabulous downtown Christmas experience at Harry and Izzy’s! The French onion soup was out of this world. ( We brought our own scissors…) The prime rib sandwich was very tasty, but I could have done without the onions on the buns. Now. The service. H& I always has incredible service but on this evening, Sean (our server) went above and beyond!! Always attentive to our needs and my Coke glass was never allowed to be empty. Can’t wait to visit again in the near future.
