    Wasn’t sure what to expect, was afraid that this fine dining restaurant would be way out of my comfort zone, but I was thoroughly impressed. 12/10. Because of the holiday and Pacers game, the crowd was extremely light which made for a personal and cozy experience. Food was delectable! Astounding. 10 oz steak was so thick that it was maybe a bit rare in the middle for a medium rare, but the flavor and juice was of such high quality, all was good. Mac & Cheese? Incredible. A friend in the group said her Dirty Martini was impeccable. She and my wife loved the Caesar salad twist. AND, the anniversary dessert and raspberry cocktail were the perfect complimentary special treat! Then, we popped down to Mel’s after for some live jazz and cocktails. Honestly, a really neat experience overall. Can’t wait to return to celebrate other special events.

    I have been coming to Iozzo’s for lunch for the last 15 years. We treated good friends to a dinner to celebrate a few birthdays! Phil was our server and was outstanding! It felt like a dinner at home and like we knew him forever! He shared his family history with our Italian heritage friends and it made me smile knowing my Macedonian heritage was very similar to his family’s stories! The food, atmosphere and service were outstanding!

    Wonderful food and delightful service. The shrimp cocktail is well overpriced for 4 shrimp...the seafood pasta was a bargain, as was the flatiron steak...and both were delicious...
