Great dining experience and the filet mignon medallions and lasagna were both delicious and are our go to there! Highly recommend. Forgot to mention, 1/2 price wine bottles on Wednesday’s is an extra perk.

Greencastle

About the restaurant

Craft pizzas, housemade pastas; an incredible assortment of wines and much more! Seasonal menu from Chef Sal Fernandez.
Sometimes one good idea leads to another. Such is the case with Bridges. With the success of Music on the Square, we began imagining what could happen next. The location next door (19 North Indiana) was up for sale, so we bought it and began thinking of what would be complementary. We started imagining Bridges as a wine bar offering interesting wines to Greencastle. But we soon added a wood burning pizza oven from Italy and more of a restaurant evolved. Ultimately, the idea of Bridges Wine Bar was born. The basement has become a private dining room called The Cellar, an open terrace area on top of the building, which will be used in nice weather, called The Rooftop, and there will be three fully furnished rental apartments which we call The Lofts at Bridges.
We hope you will like our addition to the Square of Greencastle.

What a lovely dinner. It was a late, rainy, Sunday evening and we were warmly welcomed. Riley, our server, brought us bread and water while we were getting settled into our seats. So many cocktail and wine choices. Of special note the lemon drop martini with homemade limoncello !! Then - the dilemma of what to order. The salads were lovely, I especially enjoyed the Ortolana salad with amazing tomatoes. The vinagered anchovies for the ceasar salad were also delicious. Our entrees were all great and varied . One of our party made a meal of the meatball and garlic bread appetizer and it was more than enough for her. We finished with a combination of espresso martini, sambuca and a slice of triple chocolate cake - a splendid ending to a lovely meal. Highly recommend this restaurant and can’t wait until we are visiting Indiana again so we can try more dishes here !

Service was excellent and the food outstanding! Definitely get the bruschetta with ricotta appetizer. We had the spinach ravioli, chicken vodka, and chicken parmesan. All were cooked just right and the flavorings and textures were well balanced and complementary. We told the staff that we had a show and limited time and they expedited the entire meal but with no sense of rush. We recommend Maialina 10/10!

Broad Ripple / Meridian - Kessler

About the restaurant

Ambrosia was founded on the principle that the best food - and the best times of our lives - begin with love. In the Pizzi family kitchen in Liguria, Italy, the dinner table was a treasured space for family and friends. Since 1979, the Pizzi family, which now includes Gino's daughters Manuela, Anna, and Francesca, has been bringing that same love and commitment to the Ambrosia kitchen. Regular patrons and staff are all part of the family, and first-time visitors are welcomed like old friends.

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.💙
