    This is the best authentic Italian food that I’ve had. Everything is full of flavor. The homemade pasta in the cheese wheel was delicious and a fabulous experience. We will definitely be back!

    Amazing dining experience at Cortona ! The ambiance was truly magical, with soft lighting and charming decor that transported us to an Italian Osteria. Our server, Renata, was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with insightful recommendations. The Tortellini Cortona was rich and flavorful, and the steak Filet was cooked to perfection. The tiramisu was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. It's clear that Cortona’s puts a lot of care into every detail. This is more than just a meal; it's an experience. Highly recommend!

    Fortville is such a cute destination and Cortona’s is a must stop when we go to Fortville. Today there was a festival in town so the vibe was lively. I don’t do TickTock but apparently there is a viral video out there making the restaurant hopping. We joined the hoopla and got the cheese wheel pasta. It was so rich and creamy a cheese lovers dream. Started with the crab cakes, some of the best I have had loaded with crab meat! Never disappoints! Great job!!

    Food and service are always top notch. Some friends and I ordered the spritz tower, espresso martinis and wine, along with entrees and desserts. We all cleaned our plates and felt very comfortable to sit and talk at our table for a while like a true Italian dinner. This is my favorite Italian spot in the Indy area—worth the trek to Fortville.

    We had a fantastic first experience at Cortona’s. The ambiance was excellent—great for a date night or a girls night out! The service was very helpful but not overbearing! The food was very yummy and reasonably priced too! We even met the owner who helped us pick out a wine! Highly recommend!
