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.

The food was great, as usual. Not our first time. The service was slow, to be polite. Couldn’t get our server’s attention, had to track people down to refill our water, weren’t offered a dessert menu, no one asked if we wanted a second round of drinks. Had to track someone down for a dessert menu and for our check. Took over two hours. It was frustrating.

Very good food and nice ambience except for a bright spot light near the ceiling that was shining in our faces. Not as bad after we moved tables. Server was very friendly but she kept forgetting to bring our items. Overall nice meal. We will return
