Adorable establishment! Definitely recommend if you have not been! Bridget was our bartender and she was a hoot! Excellent humor and conversation throughout our meal. She was super attentive and we received excellent service from her, Nicole and Nick. Loved the lights inside, creating a cozy ambiance for the evening. The arancini were delicious and both pasta dishes as well. Highly recommend for a casual or business meal.

We had a fantastic dining experience at T.O.L.I. (Tavern of Little Italy)! We chose it for its diverse menu that offers a great mix of Italian classics and American favorites—and it did not disappoint.
We sampled the panko-breaded shrimp, wings and stuffed hot Hungarian peppers, fresh dinner salads, and hearty pasta dishes. One standout feature was the gluten-free pasta option, which is a thoughtful touch for those with dietary restrictions.
The outdoor patio was a perfect spot to enjoy our meal, with a comfortable atmosphere and super attentive service from start to finish.
When visiting Little Italy, T.O.L.I. is definitely worth a stop. Be sure to check out their menu online—and make a reservation, especially on busy nights!

If you’re looking for the true essence of Italian hospitality, this is the place to be! The chicken Alfredo were simply outstanding — full of flavor and comfort. Rachel , the bartender was absolutely wonderful and made me feel right at home. Thank you again for such an unforgettable experience . I’ll definitely return on my next trip!

Hands down the best Chicken Alfredo I have ever had. I live roughly 45 minutes away and have decided if, at any time, I’m craving Chicken Alfredo, I will drive here to get it despite the distance. It is freshly made and made very well. The chicken is a thin enough cutlet where it’s not too much and you still get a nice serving or protein, and the sauce is seasoned perfectly and is made to order.
If you like real Alfredo, go here!

Wow who would have ever thought this place had such great food . I had the Caprese salad , and I took to go shrimp Tortellini, and a Fettuccine Alfredo which my wife said was excellent. Pretty good portions moderately priced but pretty good considering food costs restaurants are paying. I had Olivia for a bar maid she was great kept the drinks coming and she was very nice . Very attentive she was , and the employees I encountered super friendly. They also have a patio in the back. They pour a nice drink here u get your moneys worth, and I must mention that ice cold Peroni , and quite a few other draft beers . Very clean establishment I enjoyed the decor as well .

TOLI is one of my favorite places in Little Italy – more appealing to locals who know what’s what. TOLI presents as neighborhood bar (with a great bourbon and beer selection) but has some serious food! The pork shank is out of this world and a must try. I haven’t had a meal or app here yet that wasn’t amazing. Combined with great service (Rachel makes Toli great), it’s a local favorite of mine

Tavern of Little Italy was an amazing location to hold our after party for our wedding. They easily accommodated our group of ~40 people with only a few weeks notice and required no deposit or anything. We thought we were simply reserving a few tables “in the back”, but it turns out that we actually were given the entire back patio! It was absolutely incredible to be able to have such a large space for our group with no financial obligation. I highly recommend TOLI for anyone looking for an afterparty option in University Circle!

Had a wonderful time at TOLI. Mandy, our waitress, made sure we were well taken care of, going above and beyond our expectations. She added the right touch to my daughter’s birthday dinner. Brian also added to our evening, checking in on us and making sure our evening was special. Thank you to you both. See you all soon!

This place can be a very nice spot to hangout, it can give off a bit of a pretentious vibe, but overall good place to meet people. There is one major catch with this place though, don’t mess with the wrong people. The Bartenders have to deal with a lot so many times they can be standoffish and for the most part people understand this and brush it off. However some of the bartenders here take advantage of this and do what they want. If the bartenders do not like you they will make sure your hated here even by the broader community. This has created very tense and agile environments for countless people especially if one is neuro divergent. I’ve seen many nice or somewhat normal good people get kicked out of this place just because they rubbed the bartenders or the community the wrong way. With that being said Caution is advised some people do thrive in this environment.

Looking for an after-dinner drink, I saw their bourbon menu from the window, and immediately entered. While this changes, they had EH Taylor and I cannot pass it up. The atmosphere is extremely complimentary to the area, and the live band only completed it. Keyboard and saxophone softly playing as we entered, I knew I liked this place. They were busy, so we sat in the side room, which looks like a converted outdoor patio, but enclosed. We had a wonderful time, absorbing the atmosphere and drinking some quality bourbon with some beers.
Full disclosure, this is a full service restaurant, so while we didn’t partake and only experienced the bar, we’re going to eat here next time we’re in Little Italy.
