Explore Indy's unique neighborhood cafés, which have been at the heart of successful LISC-supported commercial revitalization initiatives.

Deano's Vino
(Italian)

Nestled in the heart of Indy's Fountain Square neighborhood, Deano's Vino started as a wine store and gourmet grocery in the Murphy Art Center. A move down the street to a vacant restaurant and retail space resulted in what has quickly become a popular neighborhood hangout and a destination for oenophiles. Experience the art of the owners' wine pairings while enjoying delicious dishes such as Potato Crusted Tilapia, Bison Steaks, or the Vegetable Pizza piled with fresh findings from the garden.
