A Taste of Italy - "Made in Italy Trattoria"From the moment my girlfriend and I stepped into "Made in Italy Trattoria," we knew we were in for an authentic Italian dining experience that would resonate with us long after the last bite. This family-owned jewel, nestled in the heart of our community, exudes the warmth and charm one would hope to find in a cozy corner of Italy itself.As an avid seafood aficionado who's had the privilege of sampling some of the nation's finest Frutti di Mare from bustling seafood ports like Boston and San Francisco, I approached my meal with high expectations. To my delight, "Made in Italy Trattoria" didn't just meet them; it surpassed them. The Frutti di Mare I had the pleasure of savoring here was the epitome of oceanic freshness, perfectly cooked, and harmoniously married with a sauce that was simply divine – the best I've ever had, bar none.My girlfriend's choice, the Salmon Limone, was a masterpiece of balance and flavor. The fish was succulent and tender, complemented by a zesty lemon sauce that brought out the richness of the salmon without overpowering it. Each forkful was a testament to the chef's ability to elevate simple ingredients to extraordinary heights.The heart of the kitchen, Chef Gennaro, graced us with his presence after our meal, allowing us to express our gratitude for the passion and expertise infused in his dishes. It's not every day that one gets to thank the artist for their art, and it was a personal touch that added to the already exceptional dining experience.Even though our dinner extended into the time when most restaurants would be preparing to close, the staff welcomed us with open arms and never once made us feel rushed or an inconvenience. Their hospitality was as warm as the ambience, making us feel like part of the "Made in Italy Trattoria" family.It's rare to find a place that not only promises authenticity but delivers it on every level. From the impeccable service to the exquisite cuisine, "Made in Italy Trattoria" isn't just a restaurant—it's a destination for those who appreciate the true essence of Italian cooking.Whether you're a local resident or a traveler passing through, I cannot recommend "Made in Italy Trattoria" enough. It's a restaurant where every dish tells a story, and every visit feels like coming home. My girlfriend and I will undoubtedly return, eager to explore more of the menu and relive the culinary journey that Chef Gennaro and his family so skillfully chart.

This family run restaurant was packed with customers and the food was tasty. I got to try their shrimp and spinach paccheri which had the right balance of spicy chili and juicy shrimps that paired well with the spinach and wide pasta. The only downside was that they tried to fit as many tables as possible in one small area. This can be sensory overload and increases the chance of bumping into each other and isn’t ideal for the server as it would increase the chance of dropping the dishes. I sincerely appreciate the staff’s professionalism from start to finish. I just wish that they had more spaces to accommodate the customers and have more space for the servers. My sincere hope is that this restaurant continues to flourish.

Great selection of pasta dishes, some seafood dishes included lobster and shrimp. We had a very tasty coconut shrimp appetizer, that I followed with the veal Saltimbocca. This was as tender and delicious as was its beautifull presentation.
We tried restaurant on a recommendation and were very pleased. Had baked clams… best I’ve ever had and beef carpaccio. I had the beef short rib ravioli with mushroom cream sauce. Lisa was our waitress and suggested my husbands meal and our desserts. Thank you for a wonderful date night.

We went to this restaurant for a family event. There were nine in our party and because of our party's size, we were seated in the building next to the restaurant. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable and the food was beyond delicious! We had heard good things and everything we heard was true. If you are looking for good Italian food, this is the place to go.

The food is excellent and always fresh. What I like most about this restaurant is if you have anything special that you want prepared by the chef? Call ahead, give them enough time, and they can usually accommodate whatever you'd like. Good for families also.
Great Date Night spot. We Loved the food, as well. We will be back.

The food is exceptional, staff is efficient & nice. So nice to eat REAL food. I din't eat at restaurant chains so Made in Italy is always worth the drive to eat well. Angelo & crew do a mighty fine job!!
The restaurant was super cute. The waitress was fantastic. Really friendly and had good recommendations. The drinks were well made and delicious. I would definitely go back for another special occasion.

All around great experience. This was our 3rd time. We thoroughly enjoyed Paccheri al Forno, Veal Masala and Mafaldine Gennarin ( with and without sausage). All very flavorful and veal very tender.
Food and service are excellent. I had the Lobster Cappacelli and my husband had the Veal Parmigiana. I also had Lemon Drop Martinis, they are generous with their pours. All of the deserts were delicious. Truly authentic Italian. We will be back!
Unfortunately we were sat in the annex part of the restaurant. The noise level was too high which made conversation difficult. Not sure of the experience of our waitress but it was definitely lacking. I wish I could give it a five star review considering I live local.

The restaurant is in our town and we went on a Sat night . The service was incredible but the food prep seemed rushed as much of the food was not completely cooked. It tasted good just was not completely finished cooking. The noise level was as expected, very loud but it's a small space filled with diners having adult beverages. Overall, a good experience, would go back on a week night.

This is a small family owned restaurant. It reminds me of restaurants I have been to in Italy. I was at the restaurant for a birthday gathering of 11 people. I had the spaghetti carbonara. The pasta's flavor was fabulous! The limoncello cake is light & smooth tasting. My husband doesn't like pasta but, enjoyed a tender and flavorful steak. My 6 yr old grandson can't eat gluten or dairy. He was delighted with their gluten & dairy free pasta with sauce. The waitstaff was attentive to our requests. Fantastic experience that I would highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free pasta & dairy free sauce.
We have dined in numerous times and loved it. We ordered the Meal Prep meals on Monday a few times but today I picked up and rhe Crawford Cobb was embarrassingly small. Ill post the website pic then the pic of what we received. It was a disappointment to say the least
