Mama Carolla's Indianapolis Reviews from The Last Year
The ambiance of this little restaurant is calm and inviting.
It does kinda feel like you're in a little house in Italy. The food is beyond amazing!!! We got the pork braised special, Alfredo, Manicotti and pesto plates. All were delicious and I would highly recommend all of them! Overall, if you're wanting an amazing Italian dinner, this place is for you! Wish we lived closer because we would be regulars lol!
Really good food and atmosphere.
I would've given it 5 stars 2 years ago, but the portions aren't what they used to be. Hence, the 4 star review. Food is delicious- I recommend the seafood pasta they have. No reservations for this location, so be ready to wait a bit. You can get a drink from the bar in meantime.
Delicious food, great service, and a nice ambiance.
I'll definitely be back! I live a couple of hours away but will come back anytime I'm in Indy for a concert.
I can't believe I waited so long to try this place.
The chicken piccata was amazing! I also loved the key lime and espresso martinis.
Always amazing food and service! I love the house and the
Always amazing food and service! I love the house and the atmosphere it creates! Countless times countless 5 star experiences
My wife and I recently took a friend here for her birthday.
We made reservations and ate outside, even though it was temporarily sealed against the cold. Very nice ambience, but the food was SO GOOD! I had the manicotti and we shared the appetizer Holly's Artichoke Fritters. Both were excellent. Wonderful place, and we enjoy the unchanged interior rooms. Oh yeah, the service was also very good.
I love mama carolla's always have always will.
This past experience wasn't good. I tried the Alfredo and it had a. Very off putting taste to it. Very herbal and grass like. Love the inside, love the service and always love the meals. For that, a 4/5 should be a 5/5 and it is. Love this restaurant to death, they just had a slight hiccup that night.
This is my favorite restaurant in Indy.
The salmon with the dill sauce on the side is my go-to.
This place is amazing!!!! The food is truly authentic.
Atmosphere is beautiful. If you get lucky enough to have Rodney as a waiter you wont be disappointed! He is top notch. He made the entire night amazing!
One of my favorite Italian local restaurants in the city.
Variety of options. Best cocktail list I've ever seen. ( I like the foofoo martinis). The service every time I've been there is top notch.
Great Food and Service at a moderate cost. Absolutely worth the extra drive from 96th street.
Great food and service at a moderate price. Restaurant comparable to NY/NJ area where there are many Italian restaurants. Well worth the added drive from 96th street. Highly recommend .
Never disappointed
Authentic Italian food in old home. This is the second time I have eaten here and was awesome again. I don't believe you could order anything wrong. I would recommend getting here earlier rather than later as parking is limited. There is paid parking behind the restaurant but free parking is limited. Worth the drive. Looking forward to eating here again.
save your money and time
we went here becuase of all the reviews and our Daughter In Law wanted to try for her birthday celebration. first there literally is zero parking. which is pretty bad when you see the paid parking and not downtown. but ok, we will deal. just be aware that you'll most likely have to pay to park if thier 15 free spaces are full. We were sat pretty quick and served water. the server took our appetizer order which we tried the shrimp stuffed with cheese, which we liked, the fried calamari which was good but would prefer marinara sauce for it not the mayo based dipping sauce. and the asparagus patties which were not very good and tasted burnt. the bread came and was actually really good but no butter and they don't have butter and no parmesan cheese or anything to mix with the olive oil which is weird for an italian restaurant. My Wife has the special which was baked tilipia on top a lobster cream sauce with angel hair pasta. the fish was good but there was very little sauce and the pasta had no sauce at all and was dry. I had the chicken piccata and angel hair pasta. the sauce was good and not to much lemon and tasted good, however the chicken was overcooked and dry and the pasta was dry and no sauce as well and i used the little sauce that was not on the chicken to moisten the pasta. the salads that come with the dinners are very basic and both of ours had brown lettuce in them. my wife wanted a dessert and had the cannoli and it was actually very good. to us the restaurant is highly over rated and over priced. there are better itilian restaurants around (non chain). We also both had to find a restroom on our ride home as did our son as all of us had the runs pretty bad about an hour after eating. we will not be back.
Gets better every time
The food is great and the service is top notch. Ask for Amanda if you can. She is fun and knowledgeable. Tried a veal dish and it was superb!
Interesting Venue; Food overall was great. Eclectic ??
You should know that parking behind the house gives you access to the restaurant with no steps, but we couldn't tell if parking was charged or free in the back. - Food in general was good, but the BREAD - was outstanding, but we had to ask for it. PRO: Interesting, old family home turned into a restaurant. With that comes small seating areas, old wall paper covered with family photos. One might say the old family feeling. Tables small inside- good for only 2. Outside patio is overgrown with plants and a fountain set way in the corner. Gives the patio a family feel. The food was very good, with many choices. Nice wine selection with prices reasonable. CON: Old House with steps leading to front yard/door of restaurant. No railing on steps (couple we were with needed help getting up steps). Inside seating really close; outside patio seating very close and placement of tables forces waiters to squeeze by the table to serve other. Parking is difficult to find. Inside a bit dusty/dark. Outside patio chairs are plastic, but very difficult for the people we were with to move the chair on the patio pavers. The restaurant seems to need a bit of a upgrade visually. -- The plastic chairs just didn't do it for me.
Found nothing enjoyable
We had reservations at another restaurant and saw the crowd here and changed our plans. Between the 5 of us we tried the fried calamari, fried mozzarella, salad with ceasar and balsamic dressing, veal Parmigiano, chicken Alfredo and manicotti. NOTHING was good, but the bread. But, even the bread was brought to our table with no butter or parmesan cheese to add to the olive oil. The food was under seasoned. The waiter poured coke from another glass into mine, in the process poured coke on our table and walked away without saying a word. Overall a $150 mistake.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Working on your bid? |
|
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
|
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
|
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
|
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Unsold listings bug?
Idk if this is related to the unsold listing % rule but I have listed 6 reservations and sold 5 of them and my unsold listing percentage is ~45%. For some reason the unsold listings have not been converted into sold ones. Does this happen only after the payment is released following the booking or is it an issue that needs to be addressed?

Give the best answerHonest review of AT and advice to new joiners
Forget trying to snipe reservations online by waking up early and booking top restaurants at Carbone or Tatiana or Cote or 4Charles. After 2.5 months of booking reservations by setting up alarms, waking up early to sell appointments. It’s very hard to cash out on this app. During cash out, you have to pay $5 fee +3% transactions fee and max payout per day is $150.
Advice to new users:
- do not mass book reservations
- fill bids only
- don’t try to book reservations online, you need connections and call the restaurant
After putting in about 40 hours of work, I’ve made about $750 sale on this platform but gotten paid $0. Take this with a grain of salt.
Fraud
I believe this site to be a fraud. I paid $158 to get a reservation. Now they want my SS # and other private details in order to supposedly repay me.

Hello All,
I don’t know what else to do as I can’t transfer my cleared funds to my bank account. Customer support is close to non existing and not helpful. How can we keep selling here if we can’t withdraw what we have worked for. They say I have to wait 180 days. This is ridiculous!

Am confused about the payout restrictions. Have nearly $1k sitting, wanted to withdraw some and am surprised to see I can only withdraw $50. If i have to do this everyday I’ll end up paying over $90 in fees just for withdrawing via ACH which doesn’t make much sense to me. Have opened a ticket regarding this, but any input or advice would be appreciated

Give the best answerAny seller support?
Has anyone found a way to get a question answered? From what I can tell there is no way to get in touch with anyone that works at/for AT. Other than the occasional admin posting a consultation offer here and there they are non existent. A lot of people have the same issue I have where we cannot cash out earnings. I cannot get my warning medal removed even though I am under the threshold. Sad to say but seems like AT is holding up everyone’s funds currently. Very scary and makes me wonder….Please reply if you read this admins and can help. Tried every way possible to get in touch

I accepted a bid for a popular restaurant in Los Angeles only to receive a phone call shortly thereafter informing me that the reservation had been canceled due to it being listed on AT. I of course need to subsequently cancel the reservation on AT but get this warning that my status will be negatively affected for doing so. I've reached out to customer support about this several times with no response, not sure what to do in this station. Hoping someone can advise.

Give the best answerQuestion about postpaid listings for prepaid bookings
I have a prepaid reservation, but I'm allowed to transfer that reservation to others for a price that I set (up to the total price I paid).
For selling POSTPAID reservations, do I charge the buyer the full amount of the reservation when transferring? And then the buyer pays something on top of that (which is what is listed in the AppointmentTrader listing?)
Major Issue for Seller
My money is being held hostage! Can you please remove my refund medal as I am below the 11% threshold and should be able to withdraw my full daily amount now? I have been teying for a long time to get a reply on this. Major issue for people looking to do good/right like you ask and make positive sales. Being able to access earned revenue is critical and not getting any reply is very concerning for your sellers. Lot of other people having the same issue. Once below the threshold you should auto remove the warning medals.
