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 blended with the music, and it was very hard to hear him. He also rushed us through ordering and kept coming to our table rather than just letting us eat. The servers who refilled the waters were great. They were on top of it, and we never ran out. They do not take reservations and will only seat you when your entire party is there. It was very busy when we went and we had to wait about 30 minutes. All in all, if you like Italian food, I highly recommend Mama Carolla’s!

Although the food was fine, it didn’t live up to expectations considering how highly rated the restaurant is. Expected a long wait, got seated in a reasonable amount of time around noon on Sunday but waited interminably long for the food. Waitress said the kitchen was overwhelmed especially since outside dining was open. To which I would say… If your kitchen is too small (or inefficient?) then don’t seat so many customers. Cheesy grits (a la carte) was good sized bowl, tasted fine, would have again. Corned beef hash was just grated potatoes with chunks of corned beef, kind of plain, not what I’d expect when ordering hash. Biscuits and gravy were decent too. Overall it was fine, but expected better.

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.

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” both were amazing-the Lasagna was super cheesey. To finish we had the ricotta cake which was refreshing after so much food. We will definitely be back!! We didn’t even have to wait for a table!

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 friends. PS: bread is the exception to Wuao!!! I might go back just for the bread service.

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 put your name in and wait. Reservations are not taken for the weekend. There’s a bar that is small and when it’s cold people are stuffed in there very tightly. During warm months people hang out around outside which is better.

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!

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 want a sweet relaxing date night!

This is a hidden gem. I didn’t know it was there until recently since it’s not in our neighborhood. Our waitress, Ashley, was fantastic and super attentive even though she was doing the stairs the whole time. We started with the bruschetta and it was phenomenal. A couple of us had the chicken rigatoni which was fabulous with the Rizzo style. The traditional lasagna has a unique marinara that was very tasty. I had the pasta too good Rizzo style and it was delicious. Then we tried the tiramisu and the creme brulee for dessert and they were both great. We were so excited to eat that we forgot pics until the leftovers were boxed. Highly recommend you visit.
