Calamarata is a thick-ring pasta that resembles sliced calamari when it’s cooked.

“The clanging of the plates and silverware, the sounds in the kitchen. It’s a concert that hypnotizes me.”

Indy dining news this week includes a new Mexican restaurant opening downtown, Gino Pizzi’s recently launched venture, and Naisa Pan-Asian Cafe’s return.

This reopened Indy classic brings out the best of Italian basics.
