    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!

    The food was excellent; it was hard to believe we hadn't found this place earlier. They even made me a Lemoncello Spritz, which was great. In my opinion, this drink should be a regular item on the cocktail list!

    Thank you for choosing our restaurant and writing this review, we’re glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience. Our team works hard to ensure each guest has a positive dining experience and we’re happy to know that you found our food tasty and service great.

    Visited for brunch which was excellent as always! Too many brunch menu selections so we need to come back again (Hah). And the staff is always very attentive and pleasant. Made in Italy is simply a true local gem - we are so lucky to have them in our back yard!!

    Everything from service to food was fantastic. But it was a very crowded night and noise level was a bit much (my only concern).
