9. Sangiovese Ristorante

I'm surprised people have said negative things about this place. We LOVE it. This was our restaurant the night of our honeymoon and return often. The staff has been exceptional and the food outstanding. Every restaurant has the "off night," and it's possible the negative reviews reflect one such evening. We've always loved this restaurant, and will return again and again

After our first visit to S, we vowed never to return. Bland food and high prices. We visited again Friday night with two other couples who had chosen the place. Bland food, "portion control" size servings, and poor service again. Drinks took forever to arrive in a place that was 2/3 full. Drinks were niggling. Waitperson was overweight, distracted, dumb. I had to get up, find her, and remind her after she had served the salads/appetizers that she forgot the lettuce wedge for one of our party. A smallish portion of sea bass for $26?! Bland veal marsalla with a few vegetables (vegetables were good) and a small dollop of mashed potatoes for $18? This place is a perfect Indianapolis eatery as it caters to people who do not know any better and will probably continue to give it good reviews. Tab for two with one drink each = $81 including the automatic 20% tip with three checks/six people. Advice: spend more or less and obtain a better overall experience. Avoid this dump.
