Reviews for Mama Carolla's in Indianapolis, IN

Cozy romantic setting, perfect for a date night dinner or an intimate gathering. Extensive wine list and varied menu, with sea... food, meat and vegetarian options. The fresh pasta was delicious. Service was good. I would have given 5 stars ?? but the coffeechoice was poor and limited to regular or decaffeinated coffee. I always enjoy a cappuccino or a latte to finish my meal when Ieat Italian, also some raw/brown sugar would have been nice. Read more

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 andknowledgeable. The food was like taking a Time Machine back to my grandparents kitchen. The sauce was amazing and it was allreasonably priced with large portions( I?m happily eating my dinner for lunch today). For an appetizer we had the fried ravioliwhich I had never had before and it was honestly great! We were served warm bread with our Italian wedding soup. Then ourentrees; sausage and peppers with spaghetti and meatballs with spaghetti. Next time we go I have to try the dessert but for nowif you are thinking of an Italian meal that brings back memories, definitely try Mama Carolla?s . Read more

Great food, great service. Fried ravioli was a little overcooked but other than that it was a good appetizer. I personally enjoy... eating steak so I ordered myself they're one and only Uncle Dino's 12 oz steak entree. For the price, you are paying for oneexcellent prepared meal. Looking forward to going there again. Read more

I was glad to pamper my weekend by picking this restaurant for dinner. As soon as you step in, you'll realise that this property... used to be a spacious house then converted to a restaurant. This lovely restaurant is easily one of the best when it comes toold-fashioned Italian food. The interior seating is laid in small rooms with intimate settings, though you still have an optionto enjoy your meal at the patio with its beautiful little garden. The food is vibrant and lively and the menu is chock-full ofItalian favorites. So, the best part about it , it?s as visually beautiful the restaurant looks as the food is delicious. Youdefinitely come here hungry, you leave with no space vacant in your belly. Don't miss the chance to try their chicken parmesanand chicken lasagna. Read more

I was blown away by the quality of the food and especially the service. Everyone there was professional and attentive to our... needs. Our waitress was very conscious of my food allergies and helped adjust all items I ordered before they came to ourtable. Calamari was perfectly prepared. The roasted chicken was succulent. Make a reservation and find your favorite! To thestaff: Thank you for the wonderful food and an amazing experience! Read more

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, youwould think the prices are a little expensive. But there?s a different reason for that. And the end result is for sure worth it.Their portions are very large. I ordered the Chicken Parmesan and honestly it?s one of the best I?ve ever had. It was soincredibly tasty and cooked to perfection. I also got some cheese bread and calamari for an appetizer and all that was amazingtoo. Our waiter was also super friendly and attentive to us and always kept us refilled on drinks. The dining area has a nice,antique looking vibe which is nice too. Cons: Definitely no cons right now. 5 out of 5 for Mama Carolla?s. Read more

This is our second time in Mama Carolla?s and it never disappoints us. The ambience of this place always makes us want to come... back. Which means it?s super busy all days of the week, although they have a waiting area with limited capacity where you canstart with your drinks. You might be able to dodge the wait time by reaching early. The food is great and the service is reallygood and fast. I love their artichoke fritters and creme brûlée. They have a whole lot of vegetarian options and the serverswill also help you to tweak the dishes a little bit if you are a vegetarian. It?s a perfect place to celebrate something or fora romantic date night. I wouldn?t say that it?s the best Italian food you will ever taste but the food plus the ambience is anexperience that you might not wanna miss in Indianapolis. ???? Read more
