    We had a wonderful experience dining at Iozzo's Garden of Italy. The cheesy garlic bread appetizer was delicious. All of our meals were very good. We had the chicken marsala, pork Milanese and short rib ragu. We all enjoyed our meals. The market greens salad included with the meals was also very good and we all liked the lemon vinaigrette that was recommended with it. Our server, Dale took exceptionally good care of us to make our dining experience even more special.

    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.💙

    Been a minute since I visited what was my favorite little Italian restaurant in Indy. Service, given the time of the year was expected to be slow but 2+ hours for dinner service is bit much. Our waiter was as attentive as he could be. I found my favorite veal parmigiana to be much smaller than I recall, very dry and burnt on the edges. My spaghetti it was served with was tasteless. Our highlight was the spinach and artichoke garlic bread. Brocollini was undercooked as well. I raved as I brought 2 of my employees about this being my favorite spot, it was disappointing. Maybe just a bad day but with the increased pricing on everything I think this may be off my list for good.
