Nicolino's Restaurant & Lounge 2544 Executive Drive, Indianapolis, IN 46241

"Great place to dine after a long drive to the airport."

"Early for Sunda y dinner, it was a light crowd. Multiple TVs for sports. Salmon was excellent!"

"From the moment we stepped into the restaurant we knew something was rather off... Waitresses and staff running around in a frenzy even though the restaurant isn't even busy (maybe 4-5 parties seated max) After we were seated, the waitress we were assigned (we'll come back to this) took our drink orders and went and go those for us. Very cordial and got it done quick. Then, she legit just "disappeared" and never came back. We waited, trying our best to be polite and respectful and let her do her job, but we eventually had to flag her down to put in our food order. Between food ordering, and after we never got asked "does anyone need a refill, or perhaps another drink" as stated before, she went totally MIA. Then she has the audacity to drop off our check BEFORE our food comes out, and asks "oh hey, did I put that beer on your bill? My bad I forgot" and runs off again. Then, about 30ish minutes later our food comes out, and my meal was nowhere to be seen. The rest of my party got their food and enjoyed it and I sat for a good while and eventually my fiancee got up and spoke to (who we presume was the manager) and said we hadn't received our entire order. The manager disappears, and we don't see him come back for another short while and I personally go flag him down and ask about my food. Apparently my order was NEVER put in and was put in by him and he was waiting for it. Eventually after AN HOUR AND A HALF my food shows up and my party is already mad and ready to storm out at this point. I eat my food, and it tasted pretty good actually. The bar fries are fantastic, and the chicken is crunchy and well cooked. We go to pay, and our waitress is absolutely MIA and my fiancee goes to the bar and hands his card and our receipt over to pay. And the bartender practically forces her to run the bill. (What, do you want us out of here at this point?) FINALLY, we get our card back, at 2 hours and we BOOK IT out of there. This morning, some of the members of my party (including myself) felt rather sick, which is slightly concerning... I strongly do not recommend visiting this restaurant unless you like zero-touch service and waiting forever. Please, get your staff together and check your cleaning practices. Thank you."

"Food was good and service was polite/friendly. My Flatbread pizza was nice and crisp where it should be and the cheese has a nice toasting along the top. The sauce was also pretty good, not overly sweet or salty. My alcohol was good, the tequila actually blended well with the mixers and gave a good hint of bite. My tea, well it was soured. I'm not sure if it was the water or the container or old tea being used but I had to return it in favor of a cola. They offered to make fresh tea but I didn't want to bother with it at the time."

"This place really fills the craving for Italian food! I've thoroughly enjoyed both of the lasagnas, spagetti and meatballs, baked ziti, stromboli, garlic bread, and crustini's. The pasta's are decent portion sized meals, especially the ziti. Haven't had the pizza yet, but it looks really good!"
