Maialina

Hands down. The BEST Italian in Indianapolis. No joke. I ate a full meal here once and almost went to Heaven because it was so good. The bread plate and cheese bread is so declicious (and they give you a WHOLE BOWL of parmesan!!!) that I came back a second time specifically for those two items. I unfortunately cannot remember my server's name the first time I was here (late December) but I do know she was a complete gem and very helpful with deciding on which dish to order. Fully intend on coming back for my birthday in March so I can convert everyone to be a Maialina addict.

Very well prepared food. Limited menu but seemed authentic Italian

The best Italian food I've had since Arthur Street in Brooklyn. We all shared a little of our dinners so was able to taste many items. My dish was Sausage and broccolini, a common dish in restaurants on the east coast but you don't see it much in the mid-west. The kale salad was the most unique. Every dish was very good. Very comfortable atmosphere, very friendly and knowledgeable service staff.
