    I def get the family style concept, but disappointed in the lack of ability to customize. I asked for a side salad as I was the only one at my table that wanted one, and that was not an option. My child wanted a kids portion of lasagna, also not an option. Just need more flexibility in today’s world. Also, it’s insane there’s no bread, butter/ dipping oil for the table provided. I’ve never been to any Italian restaurant where this wasn’t provided. Even chai restaurants typically provide bread. It was $18 to order, which we passed on. Overall, average $120k dinner. Wouldn’t reco.

    Sadly you enter the restaurant into the kitchen and staff need to get by constantly while you’re waiting in a line just to talk to staff to check in for your reservation. You are kind of breathing on the food and in the way of the poor servers. The place might just need a little reconfiguration. I wish we had gone with a different meal. The lasagna arriving at other tables looked great but our shrimp diablo wasn’t good. Shrimp was under cooked and overall was bland. The drinks arrived after the meal. It was definitely a busy weekend in Indy I hear so perhaps when it isn’t so crazy things don’t seem so chaotic and the food might come out better.

    Arrived with reservation and they wanted to squeeze 9 people into a 6 top. Had to split party. Food was subpar, bland and very over priced. Their concept of family style wasn’t understood well looking on website. Sounded like an option. Food was on par with Olive Garden and not worth it. . Other tables were getting food and came in after us.

    Our experience was good for our first time eating there. The disappointment was our drinks came after our food, our bill came before our dessert and we felt rushed to finish.

    Business dinner with a twist. We also had a birthday to celebrate. Good atmosphere for a meal. The appetizers were great and the 4 for $45 deal was good. The Caesar salad was good. ..However the Chicken Parmesan was just ok and one of the chicken pieces was undercooked. The pasta was really spicy. Disappointing. Service was good and the bday desert was amazing. We will try this again in the future and treat this as a one off experience
