If Pasta Is Your Love Language, You’ll Be In Heaven At Nicole-Taylor’s In Indiana

Hidden in Indianapolis is what might be the best-kept secret in the Midwest, especially if you're fond of pasta. I mean, come on - who isn't fond of pasta? Unless an allergy is at play, there's just no excuse - and if you don't believe me, you need to hurry on over to Nicole-Taylor's Pasta & Market on 54th. I do not say this lightly: this place has the best pasta in Indiana, and it will likely be some of the best you've ever had anywhere. It's the only place around that makes its own pasta (and other ingredients in its dishes) in-house every day.

From top to bottom, Nicole-Taylor's is a labor of love. You can pretty much feel the passion for this culinary art infused into every bite.

I'd be stunned if anyone who's ever been here before said anyone else had the best pasta in the world - if they don't think they'll find it here, they've simply never been.

With 22 different kinds of pasta perfectly created in the kitchen every single day, you'll find yourself immersed in a world where the only thing that matters, for now, is pasta.

...unless you're like me, and that's just kind of how you live your life. I'm not here to judge.

The backroom eatery is as gorgeous as the entrees are, and it's located right in the kitchen.

It's an amazingly fulfilling experience. You get to gather 'round a gorgeously-set, rustic dinner table, chat, make memories, and eat. It doesn't get more charming than that.

There is absolutely nothing on the menu that you should avoid (well, again, unless there are food allergies involved, but great news: all the pasta here is non-egg-based so folks with egg allergies need not worry).

You can't go wrong with ANYTHING. Of course, the pasta itself isn't the sole star of the show; its equally-stellar co-stars include various sauces, sides, lasagna, breads, biscotti, Italian sausage, and so much more. And, yep: it's ALL made in-house.

This is the only place in this region that makes its own pasta.

You'll taste the love in every bite, that's for sure - and then you'll find yourself yearning for more at a later date (so come back, then).

After all, you'll know one thing's for sure: dinner is served...

...and it's going to be incredible.
