Friendly service, excellent food. The ambiance was a little noisy and the sounds from the kitchen were distracting. But the food and service make it well worth the visit. Can't wait to go back Favorite dishes: Rigatoni Rustica, Caesar salad, Sausage and Fig Flatbread.

Service was excellent and the food outstanding! Definitely get the bruschetta with ricotta appetizer. We had the spinach ravioli, chicken vodka, and chicken parmesan. All were cooked just right and the flavorings and textures were well balanced and complementary. We told the staff that we had a show and limited time and they expedited the entire meal but with no sense of rush. We recommend Maialina 10/10!

The service is always incredible and the food never disappoints! The shrimp fondue was so good we ate every last drop. Servers were constantly checking on us to make sure our wine and water glasses were full and cleared plates as soon as they were ready to be taken. The pasta was the perfect al dente that It was hard to stop eating when full. Would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a twist on Italian in Indianapolis! Writing this has me looking forward to my leftovers in the fridge.

Maialina is a wonderful Italian restaurant. We always enjoy our food. On this visit, the tomatoes in my caprese salad were frozen which was a little disappointing. The pasta was great.
