You’d Never Guess Some Of The Best Italian Food In Indiana Is Hiding In This Strip Mall

Sometimes, the soul wants what the soul wants - and sometimes, what the soul wants is some delicious, incredibly authentic Italian food. I get it, which is why I've spent (probably way too much) time checking out some of the all-time best spots for Italian food in Indiana. Now, get this: the best Italian food in Indiana is not necessarily found in a standalone brick-and-mortar building or a chain place. Nope! It's nestled within a strip mall in Indianapolis: one of the best places to eat in Indiana if you're looking for it. Check it out:

Since 1992, Vito's has been serving up some of the best Italian food you'll ever find in the Midwest.

Don't let its location within a strip mall fool you: it's the real deal, and it's excellent for a night out.

The overall vibe is casual but not lazy; it's not elegant, per se, but it's nice.

If you're looking to be impressed, the décor is not where you want to turn. For that, we refer to the menu, which is filled top-to-bottom with incredible dining options.

It doesn't even matter what you choose. It's all amazing.

You can go with classics like pizza, spaghetti and meatballs, fettuccine alfredo, and more. Or, you can get a little more creative and get something like, say, the delicious veggie lasagna.

The seafood lasagna (pictured below) is also pretty amazing, and you'll only find it here.

Vito Provolone's isn't open on Sundays, so do plan accordingly. That's okay, though - it just makes us value the other six days of the week that much more. If we could come out and have lunch (and/or) dinner at Vito Provolone's, we would.

Of course, you won't be able to resist wrapping up your killer meal with some delectable desserts.

You can also take your pick from lots of delicious wines and beers, many of which are imports. Vito Provolone's is awesome for a little self-care, a date night, a birthday, or just because.

No matter what the occasion is (or isn't), one thing's for sure: you won't find authentic Italian food in a strip mall that's ever as good as this.

...seriously, ever.

For the most up-to-date hours, menu, specials, and more, you'll definitely want to check out the official Vito Provolone's website. You might also want to check out its official Facebook page.
