This place was my shining star of the month! Naomi was a great server, the manager is super knowledgeable about gluten allergies (and other allergies in general), and honestly? I would drive back here from Cincinnati, again.
Get the crème brûlée, and make sure to have that fresh made pasta! Perfect perfect perfect!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Iozzo's on Jefferson with a party of six adults and one child, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with exceptional service that set the tone for the entire evening. The staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making sure we felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout our meal.
The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting, upscale without feeling overly formal - perfect for enjoying an evening with family and friends.
Everyone in our party raved about their meals. The crab tortellini was a standout with ample filling, a bit of spice and flavorful Calabrian chili sauce. The shortrib ragu was rich and hearty, and the chicken Parmesan was cooked to perfection with a massive portion. All sauces are made from scratch and gluten free and can be mixed and matched between entrees. Most pastas are handmade in-house also, and you can definitely taste the freshness!
To top off our meal, we indulged in refreshing lemon sorbet and the tiramisu, which was hands down the best I’ve ever tasted (I typically find tiramisu to be soggy). It was the perfect blend of coffee and cream, with a light and airy texture and crisp crust. Don’t skip the house-made limoncello and strawberry limoncello, either!
Iozzo’s on Jefferson is truly a gem in Franklin, IN, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just want to enjoy a fantastic meal, this restaurant is a must-visit! We can't wait to return and experience more
