Mama Carolla's

Delicious, hearty portion sizes and great service. Definitely do yourself a favor and get a reservation and get dessert, you won't regret it! I ordered the manicotti with a meatball on the side and WOW was that ever a delicious plate of food. The meatball was juicy and packed with flavor as well. The canolli was heavenly and the perfect ending to a tremendous dinner! The waitress was very polite, knowledgeable, and had great suggestions for what to order.

I loved sitting outside, great atmosphere. The food was delicious and I recommend the steamed mussels as a starter. The flavor was strong but not overwhelming, and it was perfect to dip bread into. Very tasty. The veal medallion was also very good. If you're lucky, you'll get Ashley as your waitress. She did an amazing job accommodating us and I would come back just for her service. You can tell that she has a lot of experience in hospitality.

We recently went to celebrate a friends birthday and she has spoken very highly of the restaurant, so we had high expectations. Our server was pleasant and attentive throughout the evening. We were seated in the screened in porch area; we requested indoor seating so just an FYI for anyone wanting to sit inside the house, you might need to further clarify which indoor seating you are wanting. We ordered the bruschetta which had smoked mozzarella cheese on top of it. The cheese was it's saving grace as it wasn't as flavorful as you would expect and lacked basil or balsamic. The "Holly's Artichoke Fritters" were a favorite for the table and if returned, I would order them again. At the servers suggestion, I ordered the Rosemary Chicken Lasagna that came with a side salad. The salad was mainly wilted/brown iceberg lettuce and their house dressing was more oil than anything else. The lasagna was decent lasagna with the sauce tasting like something straight from a Prego jar. We did not order dessert as we had a second destination for that.Overall, it's a pleasant restaurant with beautiful architecture and friendly service, but wouldn't call it the best Italian around, nor were there any standout dishes that would draw me back for a second visit.

Date night with husband☺️ The place is pretty packed, even with a reservation we had to wait for 30 min to get a table but the moment you’re shown to your table the service is exceptional. We opted for verandah seating, it was a hit with the weather being cooler than the other days. Our server Sherry knows what she’s doing and great at recommending house specials and the various items at the menu. She even made sure about the dietary restrictions before hand. We ordered their Sicilian Asparagus patties, rosemary chicken lasagna and Chicken involtine. Everything tasted delicious and I cannot wait to go back and try the others. Also, you cannot miss their house made tiramisu. It was delishhhhh.

This place is great but very busy...I recommend making a reservation online or showing up with the 4:30 people. It did seem like it was clearing out around 8pm when we left. Food was great and it's a very cute spot. Service was amazing!

Second time here & it was as wonderful as I remembered. The prosciutto and melon appetizer was a delight to the senses - mixing sweet & salty. Our server recommended the Mediterranean salad & it was also delicious. The service was timely & professional. A great date night spot! The Mediterranean pasta was extremely delicious and the spumoni gelato was like no other! Highly recommend if you’re looking for the best Italian dishes around, but expect a wait unless you have a large party with reservations.

Stepping into Mama Carolla’s feels like stepping into a charming Italian villa. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and full of character - perfect for a date night, special celebration, or just a cozy evening out. Also, it’s right off the Monon trail which makes for a fun location. The food absolutely lives up to the ambiance. Every dish we tried was flavorful, hearty, and clearly made with care. We ordered the shrimp cocktail, fried ravioli, beef lasagna, and uncle dinos - all delicious but you honestly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Service was consistently attentive and kind, even when the place is busy (which it often is - reservations are a good idea for 6 or more!). The staff is knowledgeable and always happy to offer recommendations or wine pairings. It’s one of those rare places where the atmosphere, service, and food all come together to create a truly memorable experience. If you’re craving authentic Italian in Indianapolis, Mama Carolla’s is a must-visit.

1st time ever trying this one. Had come to us by being facebook recommended by several friends. Our experience was close to being perfect if it wasn't for the obnoxiously loud family that was nearby with small kids. That really ruined the special dinner outing for my wife's birthday, when you can't talk to each other. There was NO special birthday dessert....which was sorta a bummer when so many (even st elmo's) comp your dessert when you show your ID with week range of your birthday. On the bright side of things the food is amazingly perfect: BREAD (the best ever) the Lasagna (perfect) Sangria was one of the best tasting ever! I like everything about the quality and service.....just didn't enjoy the parking situation and the noise but we will give it another try just because this place seemed to have the quality aspect nailed down. Also I would not recommend it to my friends as a place to celebrate their birthday. Stick with the places who actually say "happy birthday"

I had the Rosemary Chicken Lasagna and my date had the Veal Parmigiana. We shared a fried ravioli appetizer. Everything was top notch. Best I've had in a long time. Service and ambiance were on point. As good as it was, plenty left over for another meal. We will be back to try some more dishes.

Best Italian in Indy! Comfy ambiance, great food, and friendly staff. Very popular, so it can be a long wait depending on your timing! There is a bar to wait at inside though.

Mama Carolla's has such a charming, old-world atmosphere. It's a very cozy spot that is perfect for date night or family dinner. We started with the stuffed mushrooms, which I thought was okay. There was crab meat in it, but I didn't realize it had crab until my husband told me. For entrées, the Misto Mare was fresh and light with a mix of seafood that was satisfying. The chicken parm was exactly what you'd hope for - crispy, cheesy, and topped with lots of sauce. Everything came out hot and well-prepared. Service was friendly and attentive, but was also slow. This was expected as it was packed! We went on a Sunday evening and arrived around 5:15 with already a 45 minute wait if you wanted to eat inside. I think it would be hard to bring very small kids because of how packed it was inside. We enjoyed the intimate setting. The pacing of the meal allowed us to relax and enjoy the evening though. While everything was delicious, some of the flavors leaned more toward classic comfort than truly standout. Still, the experience as a whole made for a lovely evening.

My favorite dish is the calamari. I think it's the best Italian restaurant I've ever tried. It's my husband's and my favorite.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Mama Carolla's this evening. We are lucky to have such a great Italian restaurant in Indy. We started the evening with the grilled shrimp appetizer stuffed with goat cheese served in a marinara sauce - that was a hit. I chose the veal parmesan served over a bed of pasta and my wife had the Mediterranean Pasta - rigatoni with chicken, sun dried tomato's, black olives, pine nuts, spinach and feta cheese in a garlic oil sauce. Both were extremely tasty with the portions large enough we had plenty to take home for tomorrow. We capped off the evening with a cannoli - a flaky pastry wrap filled with flavored ricotta, all in all it made fan enjoyable and memorable anniversary dinner.

The place is adorable. Food is amazing. People are wonderful. Went for a birthday dinner for a friend and as always, loved the atmosphere. This place is quaint and small. Tried four appetizers, yep, ordered four! We tried the Bruschetta, the Calamari, Melon Prosciutto and the fried Raviolis. I highly recommend the Melon Prosciutto. My least favorite was the fried Raviolis (which I wanted to love). Dinner, two had two different veal recipes, I had a pasta with a side of meatballs. Overall, the meal was amazing, just do not get the fried Raviolis, unfortunately. The veal meals were both the best by far, so think about that choice if you are looking at ideas to think out of the box. PROS: Parking- plentiful but you have to pay Wonderful atmosphere Outdoor seating is the way to go, wonderful, even when hot Drinks are great Prices are medium, so affordable for a wonderful night out CONS: Parking- plentiful but you have to pay Small atmosphere inside so it can be loud

Atmosphere and service were exceptional!! It was a busy Saturday night and we did not have reservations. We waited 45-minutes and were able to have a cocktail in the waiting area. We started with the Brushetta for-4 .... HIGHLY recommend this starter!!! Two in our party had the Wedding Soup that came with their entree. They were happiest when dunking the crusty bread in the soup. High marks for that. My sister and I had House Salad... oy vey.... the house vinegarette!!! Two in our party had the Shrimp Scampi served with Angel Hair pasta. Delicious!! I had the Mediterranean Pasta with Rigatoni, Chicken, Calamata Olives, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Pine Nuts, and Feta cheese. This was a flavor bomb!! Loved it! My husband had the Pasta Too Good and was woefully disappointed. The pasta was over cooked, there were only 3-little shrimp, sauce was very soupy and, while described as "spicy".... was not. The chicken; however, was tasty. He will not be ordering that dish again, but, we would love to come back here!!

Mama Carolla's is one of our absolute favorite Italian restaurants in Indianapolis! The atmosphere is warm, classic, and cozy--perfect for a special night out. We kicked things off with an Italian Margarita and a Vodka Gimlet, both refreshing and very reasonably priced at just $8. For appetizers, we couldn't resist the Fried Mozzarella--a perfectly crispy ball of cheesy goodness that disappeared in seconds. The house salad was light and flavorful, topped with their creamy Italian dressing. For entrées, I went with the Rosemary Chicken Lasagna, while my husband enjoyed the Manicotti. Both dishes were packed with incredible flavor and left us in full-on food coma mode (in the best way). I opted for a Cucumber Cooler as my second drink, and it ended up being my favorite--refreshing, crisp, and so light. We didn't have room for dessert this time, but I noticed several tempting options on the menu for next time. From drinks and food to the attentive service, it's a 10/10 experience every time. We usually save this spot for special occasions since Friday night reservations need to be made about two months in advance--but it's absolutely worth the wait. Hands down one of the best recommendations in the area!

It had great ambiance, great food and service! I absolutely love the steamed mussels.

If you can get a chance to sit outside in their garden it's absolutely beautiful. The food, every time is amazing. The service is very friendly. They get supper busy recommend a reservation.

I tried this popular SoBro restaurant during Devour. There was a snafu during our wait to be seated, but they quickly corrected it once we made them aware. We were seated in the old house. The architecture is very Spanish with some Italian sprinkled in. For appetizers we tried the spicy meatballs and bruschetta. Both were good. My Pineapple Upside Down Cake cocktail was recommended by a table near us and did not disappoint. The main entree was creamy and flavorful. I parked next door at Good Morning Mamas. They are open 5:00pm - 9:30pm Tuesday- Saturday. Service was fast and friendly. There's a bar in the back in a heated patio. Extremely popular restaurant. Italian food done right.

We got there right when it opened, had a short wait. Once we got to the table it took a bit for a server (thought due to just opening restaurant) well we finally received our drinks. Once we ordered our meals it took about an hr and a half to get our food... we had a 1yo and 8yo with us which made it difficult for the long wait. Had to take them outside to run off some energy. Food was warm not hot. Overall I would go back and give it another try the food tasted really good but would've been better if it was hot. I love Italian so it's hard not to give 5 stars but the service and time we had to wait on our food was horrible.

My BF said we needed a date night since he's working 12 hour shifts Monday-Sunday so no days off...we been cooking a lot lately so he said he'd buy if I fly lol. Figured we'd try something new where he had never been. I've been here once for my 35th birthday so it's been a while. I knew it was the perfect place for a date night. Parking is a little tricky but we managed to find one in the lot over luckily. The moment we walked in we were greeted with smiles and asked if we wanted to sit inside or out, I let him choose. Opted for indoor seating. As soon as we sat down we had someone bring us water then we were greeted by Amanda who was our server. Such a lovely woman with a beautiful smile and very sweet demeanor. She told us the special of the evening and the description of seafood had me right then and there. My BF ordered the chicken piccata. We both had the salad with balsamic vinaigrette but mine with mozzarella and his with Gorgonzola. The complimentary bread and oil was amazing. We ordered some wine. It was Amanda's suggestion yet I don't recall exactly what one. Either was it was light and delicious. Not too dry not too sweet it was just right. Dinner was amazing! My seafood penne was absolutely amazing. Crab, lobster, and scallops with a lobster cream sauce of some sort sure was delightful. The chicken piccata was also very tasty. The capers, the lemon sauce and a whole lot of garlic on the angel hair pasta was delicious. Just when I thought we were done, my BF ordered us the creme brulee. After all what's a date night without dessert? The blackberry compote on top complimented this delectable dessert. Perfect ending to an extraordinary evening. Definitely coming back and he said next week so guess next week it is! Amanda suggested the mussels appetizer and my BF said that is on the list for the next visit.

After living in Indy my entire life I finally made it to Mama Carrola's and WOW! The hype is real. We weren't able to make a reservation, but we were sat on the heated patio at 5:30 with no wait. Our server was very pleasant and informed us of the Devour menu which we took advantage of. All of the food was fresh and SO SO delicious. The decor and vibe there is amazing. Very homey. I can't wait to check out the rest of the rooms next time!

AUTHENTIC Italian food. Every item we tried was fresh and brimming with flavor. We sat in the patio/garden area and were so charmed by the atmosphere! Will be coming back.

My dad took me to Mama Carolla's tonight for dinner while I'm visiting him from out of town, and boy was this place delicious. The allure of this place doesn't stop at the food. The inside is adorable and we were taken to one of the rooms up the stairs, giving it an even cooler vibe. For dinner, I had the Mediterranean chicken pasta which was light yet flavorful. My dad had the chicken parm which he adored. Both of us took half home as the portions were huge. The entire staff was so accommodating and I never once had an empty water glass. 10/10 recommend this place for dinner. Make sure you have reservations though as it was packed when it opened. I totally understand why

Delicious food and great service by Raymond. Charming atmosphere and location. Front host staff was slightly rude, especially as a first time visitor. It didn't dampen our spirits however!

We had absolutely great outdoor seating. My meal was excellent, however I was not a huge fan of the calamari or the Italian wedding soup but maybe that's just my taste. Our service was excellent and the prices were lower than expected Beautiful place to enjoy dinner

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Indy! It's located in this old Italian-inspired home that is small but intimate. Our wait was about 1 hr for a table for 6 but it was a busy Friday night. Our server was accommodating and patient with us, through all of our ordering and food preferences. I ordered the sausage and peppers with penne pasta and marinara. It was delicious! I would recommend to anyone looking for a good family-style meal in Indy.

We have visited the Mama multiple times, and always come away very impressed. Our favorite by far is the ambiance of the outdoor seating area. You feel like you are in a fancy area of Italy, but you are actually just right off the parking lot. Haha. There are free parking spots available further down closer to the strip mall and good morning mamas but it can be confusing. I normally get the chicken Alfredo and it is always very good. This time, I thought the serving was a little low for the cost of the meal, but the taste was not lacking at all. Sometimes chicken Alfredo can be a little salty at certain places, but I didn't get that from this one at all. The bread is soft and warm. The wait staff is always very nice and informative, and normally pretty quick. For a nice date night in the Indianapolis area, I would say this is up there with one of the best choices !

Food, service, ambience, everything you could wish for in an Italian restaurant. As authentic as it gets in Indianapolis for an affordable price! Great wine and cocktail selection, too!

This Italian eatery gets better over time. The food is "magnifico". The chicken lasagna was amazing and very filling. If you are looking for authentic Italian flavors served with charm, this is the place!

Classic Italian! I love Mama's. If you want nice, rustic Italian food ... this is the place! Located in S. Broadripple off of 54th Street, Mama's is quaintly decorated with fabulous service! Went with a group of seven last week and they treated us like royalty and we are a lot! I also love a waiter that tells you their favorites! I think we all ordered one of them. Highly recommend.

Mama Carolla's is an Indianapolis favorite. This restaurant has been around for years! They are so good you had better get there early or expect to wait for a long time to get a seat on a Saturday night. Walking into this restaurant is like visiting your Italian grandmothers home. It is warm and inviting with several tucked away areas for seating. Our server was wonderful and the food was absolutely delicious! My husband wanted the veal Parmigiana for his birthday and this is one of the few Italian restaurants that have this dish! I did think the presentation of the food could have been a bit better, but the taste was so good I let it go. I did also find it a bit tacky that they had tables in an outside heated tent. I get why they have to do this, because they are so popular, but I would not have wanted to sit out there. Neither one of these things would keep me from not coming back.

Big BIG fan!!! We got into an accident on our way downtown (not our fault, some people find one way streets confusing) and instead of driving back to Carmel we stopped here on our way home to get some Italian comfort food & DAYUM we picked a good spot. Food: Outstanding. I got the super simple spaghetti & meatballs and it was the warm comforting hug I needed (ok, the Old Fashioned helped with that too). Hubs got the chicken mushroom lasagna and it absolutely slapped Service: I'm so mad at myself for not remembering our server, he rocked! If you see this, we were right by the front window after our car accident lol. I want to say Gary but I'm pretty sure that's wrong. Atmosphere: Just lovely! Multiple rooms and super cozy. Really well decorated. A little tighter in between tables but it honestly didn't bother me. Highly recommend!

Entirely too many people giving 4 stars and stating that the food and service is great, so why 4 stars??? This place is a hands down a 5 Star restaurant. We drive an hour and a half to eat here and are never regretful. Yes, parking lot is a hair small, but there's a lot of spots, and when the food is this good, how can you complain about walking 30 steps to get inside?? I love the tiny compartmentalized rooms and the overall ambiance! Go here! You will love it!

Authentic Italian food for a very reasonable price. The atmosphere reminded us of our grandmothers house which was quite nice. Our waitress was very attentive and never let our drinks get low. We highly recommend this cozy, yummy place!

Service and atmosphere is always excellent at Mama Corolla's! We sat outside along the Monon trail and it was a very nice night. We shared a carafe of the house Chianti which was very nice along with a warm, fresh bread loaf. Server was very nice and prompt- always filling up our water glasses and had great recommendations. The only somewhat negative was that the Alfredo noodles on the side of the steak dinner came out cold. Otherwise, everything was very good and the favorite was the chicken Parmesan. One newer thing to be mindful of is that the lot behind is owned by another company and is now charging $5 to park. There are signs, but you can still park at Good Morning Mama's and on the street for free, just a little less convenient and confusing, but it's out of their hands!

Good authentic Italian food was amazing... I can't wait to make my way back to this place... the food was amazing

Mama Carolla's is one of my favorite places in Indy. I am SO IMPRESSED with the food everytime I come here. I usually don't have a reservation and show up right when they open. The service is always great and they are very attentive. The restaurant is in an old house and it is very intimate. Absolutely love it and highly recommend!!

Really enjoyed the chicken Marsala, chicken Parmesan, and risotto cake. The dinner salad was very average. Our server was fantastic. Also, the sodas are priced too high. Overall, I'd come back in a heartbeat and just have water.

This has been my favorite place to eat for almost 20 years. It started out being my son and I's favorite date place, now it's my husband and I's. The service, food and drinks are spectacular every single time. I recommend Mama's to everyone.

Make a reservation in advance they get packed! Actually sat on the patio to be seated quicker. A super quaint and charming space. Excellent service. You can tell the servers enjoy and take pride in their job. Large menu. Flavorful food and tasty wine. Will return.

One of Baltimore's best seafood spots. Great service and atmosphere. Located in the quaint O'Donnell Square if you fancy an after dinner drink and fun!

Came here for a celebration dinner and had a nice meal! The biggest draw for me was the rosemary chicken lasagna--I don't frequently see chicken or vegetable lasagnas on the menu, so I knew I had to try it--and it was delicious! The other items my family ordered tasted like good old standard pasta. Also, the room we were in did feel cramped (4 tables that seat 4 people per table, with each table pushed up against a corner--which would work well in a room that's slightly bigger), so I wasn't a huge fan of the atmosphere while dining. Service was okay. Overall, had a good meal :)

One of the best Italian date night spots My husband and I can always count on Mama's for great food and cozy, Italian vibes. We love this Broad Ripple house turned restaurant. They have a patio in the back and side of the restaurant and lots of rooms of seating inside. All entrees come with soup or a salad and the table gets complimentary bread. I always ask for some balsamic to pair with the olive oil on the table as a dipping sauce. For an app we get the bruschetta. We can't get enough of the crisp, buttery bread, fresh tomatoes, and smokey mozzarella. For dinner, my husband loves the Chicken Parm. The red sauce is sweet and the chicken portion is huge. I typically get the Chicken Piccata, but when we came for dinner they had a tortellini special at it. was. phenomenal. So creamy and so much flavor I wish this was a regular menu item because I would definitely add it to the rotation! No reservations (except on Valentine's Day) so be prepared to wait on their busy nights like Friday and Saturday. Can typically find street parking or space in their surface lots around the side/back.

It must be said first that Mama is a Husker fan, so my Husker husband was so excited to come back again after our first visit. Though this was years ago, the only change we've noticed over time is that portions have become a bit smaller. Overall, absolutely incredible dishes, full stop. You can't go wrong with a single thing on the menu. When dining in, expect to feel like you're dining in an Italian home or its lush garden. Everyone we've met here is kind and attentive and truly there to provide an experience

This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants. They have great service and really good food. The parking is a little frustrating but I still love the restaurant.

I can't believe it took a decade for me to visit Mama Carolla's. This place exceeded every expectation. The food was amazing, the staff was very attentive and patient (we were on time for our reservation, but it was a late in the evening reservation), and the atmosphere is great. Now that I know there is free parking a short walk away, that's also a great plus. I went as a group of 3; we got 3 appetizers, 3 entrees, drinks, and split a dessert and got coffees. There wasn't a single thing we got that I wouldn't recommend.

Our absolute favorite place in town. In the summer the patio is the best place to eat but in the cold weather the place gets packed quickly. They have some outdoor seating with heaters but just no the same capacity. My favorite is chicken involtine. Always perfect. Husband often gets the special from fish to crab cakes. But his favorite is rigatoni rizzo style. More food that we can eat so always leftovers for lunch the next day. Service is amazing, friendly and timely, even when packed. Can't go wrong at Mama's

Food - I ordered the Italian Wedding Soup and the Roasted Rosemary Chicken. My boyfriend (now-fiancée) ordered the Italian Wedding Soup and the Veal Saltimbocca (Angel Hair). For dessert, we shared the Chris's Homemade Ricotta Cake with blackberries. Overall, I really enjoyed the food here. I loved my Italian Wedding Soup and Chicken. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the cake. It was very dense. It had a cornbread like texture to it. I wish we had ordered something else instead of the ricotta cake. Service - Great service! We had dinner here on a Saturday night @ 7 pm. It was very busy, but we didn't have to wait for a table. If you come here with a party larger than two, you might not be so lucky with getting seated quickly. Ambiance - So beautiful! I love the aesthetic of this restaurant. It's very romantic. The perfect date night

Absolutely delicious little Italian place. The service and atmosphere are great! I try to go whenever im celebrating

We could hear Frank Sinatra singing his Italian inspired love songs as we walked through the outdoor seating area of Mama Carolla's. The award-winning restaurant is housed in a beautiful Mediterranean style home built in the 1920's on the south side of Broad Ripple. Lace covered tables are tucked in every corner of the house. We arrived early to get a table, there was a line of patrons waiting for 5:00. They do not take reservations except for larger parties. The entire staff is welcoming, super friendly and attentive. I couldn't help but be a little excited as we were ushered to our little bistro style table by a front window. Amanda, our server was efficient. I selected a Malbec wine and my husband had a craft beer. They were promoting the Devour Indy menu, consisting of a fixed-priced, 3-course menu for two. We shared an order of the Fried Calamari. The generous portion of calamari is lightly breaded and tender. It is served with an aioli sauce and lemon wedge. Small salads are included with the meal with a choice of Italian dressings. The salads are served with the most wonderful, hot, fresh Italian bread. The bread has a beautiful chewy crust. Olive oil is on every table for dipping. The Shrimp Scampi was delicious. There were 6 large shrimp covered in a dreamy lemon, garlic, butter sauce. A small, but perfect, portion of pasta was served on the side. My husband had the Mediterranean Pasta, which contained a huge portion of pasta with strips of chicken, roasted tomato, spinach and pine nuts. It was very good, too. Mama's is a great place to go on date night or with a small group. The prices have stayed reasonable, the food is delicious and service is great.

Beautiful old house Great Service The food is amazing Love their garlic cheese bread and Italian wedding soup The best dessert is a the spumoni dark chocolate bomb

I've lived in Indy for close to fifteen years, off and on, so I've heard people rave about this place. I grew up in an Italian-American family on the east coast, so I'm pretty particular about Italian food. This is a place I'd bring my family when they visit. It's not pretentious, nor over-priced. The portions are more than enough, and the flavor is great! I had veal parmigiana and it was breaded perfectly, with the perfect amount of sauce and cheese. Every entree comes with a choice of soup or salad. The ambiance itself is awesome. We came on a reasonably-mild August night so we asked to sit outside. With cooling fans, it was the perfect evening. Do put your name on the waiting list online before you drive over. We did so and our table was ready just as we were parking.

excellent food and service ( I think our waitress was Pamela). I love the bread and brought a whole loaf home with leftovers, my husband had delicious pasta with chicken and Gorgonzola. I had the salmon with dill sauce that was great. the est part was the spumoni chocolate covered bombe!

Oh what a delicious dinner here!! It's located in Broad Ripple in the Meridian Kessler neighborhood. It was built in the 1920's in a California stucco design. It's a charming restaurant inside! Fireplace, wrought iron, wood floors it has so much character to it. The waitress we had was as nice as nice can be. She was very efficient and prompt. For being that busy I appreciate that! If you go get the Italian margarita!! I haven't had a drink that tasted so good in a while!! Grand Marnier amaretto, and sour mix is what I think she said was in it. They had Italian Wedding soup or a Caesar salad, house salad to choose from as part of your meal. The Caesar salad was very good! The warm bread was so good with paired with the olive oil. The chicken Parmesan should be an example of how to make it right. The pasta with the tomato sauce and the breaded chicken with mozzarella was perfect! I would definitely order that again! This is a great Italian restaurant if you're ever thinking of a good pastas for dinner. This would be one of my go to places!!

My husband and I went here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This was where we had our first date and it was the first time we'd made it back. The food, service, ambiance, everything was perfect. We will definitely not wait so long to come back.
