Made in Italy is always a treat with exceptional food, a nice wine list, friendly and attentive service, all at great prices. The restaurant was quite busy tonight with a few groups a bit boisterous creating a fairly loud atmosphere (which is normally not the case). Still had a very enjoyable dinner. Made in Italy is one of our favorite restaurants and they never disappoint!

Loved the candlelight dinner experience although a couple by us kept their menu open the entire meal so they had “additional light” which was blaring in our eyes all through our meal ….. I think someone should have told them this was hurting the ambience for the rest of the patrons around them. Our server was amazing and informative and we enjoyed our time!
