Absolutely delicious Italian food located in a really cool spot right along the Monon Trail. The restaurant is located in a really eclectic building with lots of different dining rooms both inside and out. The menu has all of the traditional Italian favorites and prices are actually quite reasonable
We had our anniversary dinner here, and everything was perfect! The scenery, the service, the food. Our server (Eric) was super helpful with recommendations and you can just tell he loves what he does! Pictures do not do the places justice at all, you just have to go see it for yourselves. 10/10 exp

This place has such a cozy vibe, giving off those cool 1920s Mediterranean-style villa feels. Super chill and welcoming!

Visiting from Jacksonville.
This place was highly recommended by a family member and boy did it make an impression.
The ambiance, staff and food were over the top. Rodney was our server and he was fantastic.
I would highly recommend this restaurant if you visit Indianapolis.
This is a super cute Italian place! I got the Chicken Alfredo, and it was awesome! We also got calamari and it was really good. It's a beautiful restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. They have charming background music playing and beautiful decorations. Our server talked quietly enough that he
Tucked away in an old Mediterranean-style villa near the neighborhood of Broad Ripple, Mama Carolla's offers some of the best tasting Italian dishes Indianapolis has to offer!!
While we waited for our table, I grabbed a yummy Espresso Martini from the bar. For appetizers, I ordered the flavorful To
This place has an amazing atmosphere /vibe and even better food. We had the fried motzerella to start with which was melted cheese over bruschetta. Then we had the Italian wedding soup which is now one of my top favorite soups. For the main course we had the beef Lasagna and the "pasta too good" bot
The atmosphere made this experience something worth talking about! The service was good, but not the best I've had. I waited with an empty glass of water for about 10 minutes before it was filled, but the food was very memorable and I'd recommend for sure. I had the veal parm with a side of sausage.
I love this place. As someone who has to eat gluten free this is really a treat. The carbonara with GF pasta is what dreams are made of.
I liked the atmosphere, the service was excellent Ashley took great care of us, she is a very cheerful and professional girl. the food was good although it was not a Wuao! I think we had high expectations as this place had been highly recommended. but it's fine to spend some time with family or frie
The food was good. Some dishes at the table were great while others were very average. The waitress, Olivia was extraordinary and you should hope she has your table when you visit. The seating/reservation situation on the weekend is a little silly but not a huge deal. Basically you get there and p
The food is amazing every time I go. There can be a wait to be seated if you go on the weekend but this is my favorite date night dinner place to go! The service can also be kind of slow because it’s always so packed. Overall the food, atmosphere, and overall experience is definitely worth it if you
We went to Mama Carolla's during the Christmas season. The restaurant was decorated beautifully. I shared the manicotti with my 7-year-old and that was enough for us. We also ordered the cheesecake. I don't know how it tasted since my kid wolfed it down. Therefore, the cheesecake must have been good
This was a wonderful restaurant.
The restaurant sat in an older house making you feel welcome as soon as you walk through the doors. We sat at a candlelit table surrounded by warm friendly faces and good food. The servers were nice and knowledgeable.
The food was like taking a Time Machine back to
An Italian gem in Indianapolis. Anytime we are going through Indianapolis and are able to stop at Mama Carolla’s we make an effort to go. The food is fantastic and the ambiance only amplifies the experience. The Italian wedding soup is phenomenal!
Absolutely love this place. Never disappointed with any selection I have ever made. You will like it here. Definitely recommend
Mama Carolla’s, one of the more high end Italian restaurants in the Broad Ripple area of Indianapolis. I came last night to celebrate a family member’s birthday and here’s our experience written out:
Pros:
Yes, when you first look at the menu, you would think the prices are a little expensive. But
Above and beyond customer service. One of the best service experiences we have had in a while. A few minor issues with the food that Keith eliminated in moments.
Another fantastic example of a place exceeding expectations on your views from years prior, despite then being incredibly lofty. Great service and classic Italian fare done correctly. The Misto Mare had the perfect cook on the seafood and was served over perfect al dente pasta. One of the best patio
