    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!

    Ian, our server, was fabulous. Food was good, but disappointed they were not serving their brunch menu as described on the website. Nice bar area with big TVs for sports watching.

    The German food is excellent! We truly enjoy our visits. The entertainment is simple and the accordionist was very engaging and happy. The ambience is reminiscent of a bierstube. All around great experience.

    why allow me to make a reso at 11 for breakfast if your breakfast menu isn’t available at 11? I came for the breakfast menu, not lunch. Extremely disappointed. The food was good but it wasn’t what I wanted. The service was excellent, but again, I came for breakfast not lunch…with one vegetarian/pescatarian breakfast option. That’s the first and last time I come in.
