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, you would 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 so incredibly tasty and cooked to perfection. I also got some cheese bread and calamari for an appetizer and all that was amazing too. 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.

Tucked away in an old Mediterranean-style villa near the neighborhood of Broad Ripple, Mama Carolla's offers some of the best tasting Italian dishes Indianapolis has to offer!! While we waited for our table, I grabbed a yummy Espresso Martini from the bar. For appetizers, I ordered the flavorful Tomato Bruschetta & the crispy, golden Fried Ravioli. My main course was a Caesar side salad & Cheese Stuffed Manicotti. Sauce was plentiful, food was delicious & our server, Bre, was ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! She truly made my Mom's Birthday Dinner a special one & even gave us all hugs on our way out. I cannot recommend this place enough!! Stop whatever you're doing & get your tail over there to Mama Carolla's right now!!

I liked the atmosphere, the service was excellent Ashley took great care of us, she is a very cheerful and professional girl. the food was good although it was not a Wuao! I think we had high expectations as this place had been highly recommended. but it's fine to spend some time with family or friends. PS: bread is the exception to Wuao!!! I might go back just for the bread service.
