Thanks for making it such a lovely birthday celebration. We always love eating here. The food tastes so amazing just like my grandmother’s cooking. Thanks for making such delicious gluten-free pasta for my son with yummy gravy.

We found "Made" about a year ago and it has become one of our regular haunts, especially for Italian food in our area. But that being said, we're not sure that the food is better than the service. They are both excellent.

Thank you very much for such a great review, we work hard to offer the best meal in the best possible ambience, with the best service. We are happy to see that it reflected on your last visit to Made in Italy Trattoria. Hope to see you again!

We've been to this restaurant many, many times and love the food. This visit we were highly dissatisfied with the lack of service. We have had this server before and she's always been fine, but this time, totally inattentive....we asked for bread, she said it's in the oven.....asked again, still in the oven, yet we saw other people get bread. Hmmmm.... She didn't ask how are meal was, didn't ask if we wanted another glass of wine....just brought us the check. The longer we sat, we concluded she was the only server working all the tables inside and the couple tables outside. In this situation, tell us you're swamped and ask for our patience!!! Still, this is not our problem, and there should have been extra help from management. We'll still give this restaurant another try...
