Food and Restaurant Reviews
Apezza
Update 6/2017- Unfortunately this restaurant has closed, but its replacement will be reviewed soon! Apezza 10122 Brooks School Rd, Fishers, IN 46037 (317) 436-8624 I’ll make it quite known I hate chain pizza. With a passion. I’ll eat it when it is offered, but I do so with a silent scowl. I find the…

Ale Emporium
Ale Emporium 8617 Allisonville Rd Indianapolis, IN 46250 (317) 842-1333 The Ale Emporium is a true gem in the Castleton area. Located in a nondescript strip mall on the corner of Allisonville Road and 86th Street (north of the Castleton Mall and adjacent shops), this amazing pub serves delicious variations of the drab bar food…

Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano
Matteo’s Ristorante Italiano 40 North 9th Street Noblesville IN 46060 (317) 774-9771 Matteo’s is a Noblesville staple, serving fine Italian fare in a beautiful and old town-elegant setting housed in one of the older buildings forming the Noblesville square. Chef Matteo DiRosa, whom I understand is from Salerno, Italy, has brought the taste of his…
Hellas Cafe
Hellas Cafe 8501 Westfield Blvd, Indianapolis IN 46240 (317) 257-6211 When first peering at this wonderful north side Greek restaurant, one would not expect much of a dining experience given its unassuming appearance and placement in front of a small strip mall south of the Nora shopping district off of Westfield Blvd. Once inside, the…
Thai Sushi House
Thai Sushi House 8603 E 116th St, Fishers, IN 46038 (317) 284-1065 Fishers is not known for having a wide variety of ethnic food outside of Mexican and Americanized Chinese fare. It is quite fortunate that the Thai Sushi House opened a few years ago in the location housed by another sushi restaurant. To my…

Formosa Seafood Buffet
Formosa Seafood Buffet 6304 E 82nd St Indianapolis, IN 46250 (317) 595-8885 Let me get this out of the way from the start: Formosa is not a good restaurant. The food is mediocre, the bathrooms smell, and on the one occasion I went there at dinner time the dining room smelled (although I cannot necessarily…
Peterson’s
Peterson’s 7690 E 96th St. Fishers, IN 46038 (317) 598-8863 Most large cities and surrounding suburbs are stuffed with clubby and sophisticated steak houses, where businessmen dine on week nights to entertain clients, and where wealthier residents enjoy a regular meal surrounded by those who make visiting such fine dining establishments a once-a-year occasion in…
Giordano’s
Giordano’s 4110 East 82nd Street (Reviewed) Indianapolis, IN 46250 (317) 348-4085 43 North Illinois Street Indianapolis, IN 46204 (317) 288-3415 In multiple trips I have made to Chicago for both work and leisure, I have always looked forward to satisfying my craving for Chicago-style hot dogs, and deep dish Chicago pizza.
