    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.💙

    The food was wonderful and exactly as ordered. We were given a wine list but not a drink menu; we saw one at another table. It would have been helpful to be told the specials when our drink order was taken and not when we were ready to order. Except for those things, service was great and food was exceptional.

    Arrive hungry because there is a lot of food! Very tasty! Our waiter was very friendly and attentive! Suggested we all share, which we did and there were still leftovers! They sat us next to a party of 10 and it was quite noisy. Overall it was a nice place and we all will go back!

    This is a very nice restaurant with very good food. The service was slow the day we were there although the waitress was nice. It seemed like they were low on staff. I would suggest that they replace the benches in the boothes. I felt like I needed a booster seat. I would definitely go there again.
