    We had a wonderful meal! Food was delicious and plentiful. I love their chicken Marsala! We all took leftovers home. The owners are so thoughtful and kind to my elderly parents.

    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!
    Made in Italy TrattoriaResponded on 25 November 2024
    Thanks for your great review of our restaurant. We’ve passed your kind words on to our team. We are passionate about providing all our customers with outstanding experiences and they’ll be delighted to know they hit the mark with you. We hope that in the future we’ll be able to provide a similarly excellent experience with a little less noise. See you soon!
