Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Maialina Italian Kitchen + Bar in Indianapolis offers a delightful dining experience with "amazing food and service." Their "ricotta bruschette" and "vodka pasta" are highly praised. The atmosphere is vibrant, making for a lively visit, though it may not suit those seeking a quiet setting. Perfect for "non-steakhouse fare."

    If you like Italian & pasta this smaller local place is outstanding! This was our third or fourth time there, the food came out hot and was delicious! The drinks we right on the money and As soon as our drinks got a little low, the server was on it . Great service all around!!!! Can wait to go back ! Ps try the cheese bread well worth it !

    My wife and I found Maialina to be a delicious and enjoyable dining experience. The atmosphere is casual with a stimulating energy and enough background noise to make conversations private without creating difficulty hearing one another. Service was prompt and attentive but not intrusive.

    Maialina, hands down, is my favorite restaurant in Indianapolis. The Ricotta Bruschette is perfect every time - I often dream of this thing. I have tried to copy the recipe at home and it will never compare. I love the Chicken Parmesan with Spaghetti - portions are definitely shareable and if you let them know they will plate your food accordingly to avoid any awkward dividing at the table. Service is very attentive! I prefer sitting at the high tops in the bar along the windows with a glass of wine. I could go to Maialina several times a week and love it every time. Thank you for being an Indianapolis treasure!

    We've eaten at Mailina often since they opened with varying results. Last nights meal was not one of our better experiences. The pork entree was not very good. The sauce was way too sweet. My wife had the spaghetti special and found it to be nothing special. We will have to take a break before we return.
