Finally found Indy's best pasta shop!

Indianapolis’ Cozy Italian Gem: Mama Carolla’s – Warm Vibes & Delicious Pasta 🇮🇹✨ Mama Carolla’s is a charming Italian spot with incredible ambiance and solid eats—perfect for a comforting meal with friends or family. ✨ Why It’s a Delight Inviting Atmosphere: The entrance statue and warm lighting feel like stepping into Italy. The cozy, welcoming vibe (check out the last three photos!) makes dining feel special. Great Service: Staff are friendly and attentive, with fast (service) so you won’t go hungry waiting. Generous Options: Every pasta comes with a choice of salad or soup, and there are plenty of sauce varieties (meat, white, cream, etc.) to suit different tastes. 🍴 Standout Dishes Appetizer Italian Prosciutto and Fresh Melon: A classic combo that’s pure perfection. Salty prosciutto pairs with sweet melon, drizzled with balsamic vinegar and topped with onions and olives. It’s light, refreshing, and a must-try for prosciutto lovers. Pasta (Mains) Chicken Rigatoni: Lightly sauced, with a good mix of veggies and protein. It’s balanced and satisfying without being heavy. Chicken Parmesan: A pleasant surprise! The chicken is coated in rich sauce but keeps a crispy exterior—tender inside and full of flavor. Dessert Note Tiramisu: Unfortunately, it was a letdown. It looks like Black Forest cake, and while the top layer was okay, the bottom was overly watery. Will try the crème brûlée next time! 📌 Practical Info 🏠 Name: Mama Carolla’s📍 Address: 1031 E 54th St, Indianapolis, IN 46220 Reservation Tip: Book ahead—even on weekdays, it gets busy!
