Amazing food!! Everything from apps to mains to coffee and desserts was perfection. Next time you crave authentic Italian food you can skip the flight and just drive to Totowa New Jersey.

I had the gnocchi and it was absolutely AMAZING! Not only that, but I saw that they had cheesecake so I tried a slice and can I just say, I was in HEAVEN! I am not usually a dessert kind of person, but this cheesecake might have changed my opinion on dessert, forever. If you have the chance to stop by and try their cheesecake, I highly recommend it. It was so tasty!!!! 20/10

We thoroughly enjoyed our early evening (6pm) meal on 3/30/24. We were seated immediately (a little early) while we waited for the second couple. Our waiter Fernando was attentive, helpful explaining the specials and we enjoyed his service at our pace (no rush). The fresh seafood salad, fettuccine, carbonara and ravioli were all delicious. We brought our own wine as they are a BYOB restaurant. And it is definitely a white tablecloth, but not pretentious atmosphere. We enjoyed the dining experience absolutely want to return soon.

Stumbled onto this spot and I'm glad we did! It was amazing. Fresh homemade bread for the table hit the spot. Everyone was so friendly and attentive!

Now I know why my mother has been here three times! Service was great food was great! They had so many specials it's hard to choose! I went with the stuffed calamari and the pasta with a salmon and shrimp white sauce. Wife had the eggplant appetizer special along with one of the pasta specials with red pesto. The bread for the table is fresh! As in they pop a small loaf into the oven and in 15 min you've got a loaf fresh from the oven! The chef/grandmother came around to see how everyone was enjoying their food. It's all the little things that make a difference. We'll definitely be back!

Not fine dining. Happy birthday music blaring.... Turning the lights off completely.... Every 15 minutes. I just want to put a fork to my face and see not my dinner. I only mention this as it has gone off 4 times..... Already.....On to the food...(1)- My wife's pasta and (2) my father's pasta was way undercooked. Literally hard center.When we let them know about my wife's pasta. (Didn't say anything about my father's). The manager let us know that they couldn't make her as it was their last "Special". The manager came over and let us know that apparently they use premade sauce..... for their "Cacio De Pepe".... Cacio De Pepe.... It literally means "pepper" and "cheese". "That they made in advance". That they couldn't make more.I guess I should have used their logic... And made some authentic "Ragu" from the jar at home.3) Don't lie about your lack of knowledge or your menu... I won't be back

I’ve been meaning to write this review for a while! We didn’t eat here, so I can’t speak to the food (although it looked good), but the people at this restaurant are so welcoming and kind that they deserve this review. My 2 1/2 year old daughter gets carsick and threw up during a long drive. We ended up pulling into the parking lot behind this restaurant and knocked on the back door. When the kitchen staff told the manager that we were there, he kindly and quickly let us in and took us to the (very clean) restaurant bathroom so I could change her and clean her up. Despite us not being customers and coming in with a sick toddler, EVERYONE from the manager to the kitchen staff to the servers to the restaurant patrons were so incredibly warm, welcoming, and caring. Hopefully we can come by on purpose one day and taste the food! The people at this restaurant are so appreciated.

Fantastic! I organized a lunch meeting for Italian American group of business owners. The food from Made in Italy brought the group back to Italy. The dishes were traditional but still unique! The menu had some traditional true Italian dishes that are hard to find in this area, like pannelle and eggplant focaccia. The menu is as if it was taken straight from a restaurant in Sicily. I highly recommend! The owner Alex was a pleasure to work with and Joe and Marco at the restaurant were so attentive to the large group! Our group members cannot wait to go back!

Honestly I was very disappointed in my meal I ordered via DoorDash. I have ordered here once before and food was amazing, but this time around it wasn’t all that great. I ordered a margherita pizza and carbonara today and I can first say that the pizza I received is not a margherita at all. I’ve seen other photos and this definitely isn’t what I ordered. Even though the mistake was made I still decided to give it a try and it was very cold and bland. Next is the carbonara. I have had the carbonara before and was blown away, but today it was lacking in flavor and it is supposed to be topped with guanciale and what I have is bacon. I know they are similar but I have had guanciale enough to taste the difference. I wanted to love it so bad because the first time I had food here I was blown away. But this time it feels like it was extremely lacking. I want to try again on another day but I am very wary.

Excellent restaurant, where you can find the original Italian traditional food, not an obvious thing in a large variety of "Italian" restaurants. I can tell you this because I'm Italian and this was my first good experience in the USA. The staff is very kind and will help you to choose the best specialties of the day. Grazie, I surely will come back.
