Il Villaggio

Best Italian food in the Indianapolis area. Freshly prepared foods. The owner is the chef and will even prepare your own special dish! Wine list is great and service is excellent!

Located on Main St in Zionsville, Il Villaggio delivers a consistently good fine dining experience.  The food is wonderful!  Warm bread with a seasoned oil (roasted tomato?) is addictive.  Good wine list, excellent pasta.  The best part?  Professional service.  The waitstaff are clearly seasoned professionals and have no trouble delivering a fine dining experience.  The crowd varies from families to romantic dates, but the atmosphere is upscale (even if the decor is a bit dated).  One of my favorite places in the Ville, especially in summer when the patio and upper deck are open.

This is a Italian restaurant that I would classify as fine-dining.  The menu prices would also indicate this.  However, I feel that you do get your money's worth, as every time I've dined here they have really done a wonderful job in terms of food preparation and service.  The decor is a bit dated and somewhat old-school.  The patrons of this establishment also tend to be on the older side.  I'm in my early 40s and it seems like I am consistently the youngest customer whenever I visit.  They recently built an outdoor dining patio on the upper back of the restaurant that I haven't yet enjoyed, but I'm looking forward to.  

If you want fine Italian dining on the NW side of metro Indy, this definitely would fit the bill.
