    Hazelnut & Pistachio Ice Cream
    Em R.

    Authentic Italian restaurant, my friend recommended this place since it was near their home. We had a 6:30pm reservation on a Friday night. Place was pretty empty when we arrived, it was just us and another table. Ambiance was simple, staff were super nice and accommodating, cocktails were tasty, and food was very good. We shared a large margherita pizza, calamari, and octopus. I ordered the tagliatelle al ragu. My dish was perfection, I really enjoyed it. My husband had the spaghetti alla carbonara and my friends had the penne alla vodka and gnocchi sorrentina, they also thought it was very delicious. We were disappointed that the pistachio and tiramisu dessert was already sold out, especially since it was just us at the restaurant. The server recommended the pistachio and hazelnut gelato instead and we also ordered a chocolate cake. Desserts were solid. I would definitely come back if I'm around the area again, surprise it was a very slow night on a Friday evening, we had the restaurant to ourselves which was nice.

    Gnocchi alle ceneri

    Placed an order through DoorDash for gnocchi and pizza. Their gnocchi was fresh and simply divine. Creamy, cheesy, and very flavorful. Would've liked some fresh herbs in it but besides that it was amazing. Would love to dine in and try their other pasta dishes next time.

    We've been there twice. Once as a large party of 20 and as a party of 4. Both times the service was great. The food was delicious!! They accommodated to fit our dietary needs

    Spaghetti Primavera

    I enjoyed the spaghetti al pomodoro e basilico no cheese. Very simple yet clean. Felt like I could eat 3 of these. The regular spaghetti with tomato sauce was not that good. Tasted too herby for me and kinda flat. Overall solid.

    Margherita pizza

    Ordered from Liola on UberEats last night, so prefacing that this review isn't based on in-person dining. We ordered the margherita pizza, cacio e pepe pizza, and penne vodka to split. The star of the meal was the margherita pizza - if we had in at the restaurant at peak temperature, I could tell it would have been divine. The cacio e pepe pizza was an interesting twist, but wasn't that great - seemed way too heavy on the pepper. The penne vodka was the biggest disappointment. Bland, not a ton of sauce, and definitely in the bottom tier of penne vodka I've had.

    This place is the epitome of a hidden gem. I'm almost angry that I didn't find this restaurant sooner. I drove by almost everyday and never even looked twice until a friend recommended it. Everything on the menu is amazing, but the pizzas are either star. I heard they imported the pizza oven and even the flour they use from Italy and you really can taste the difference. Every pizza I've tried was delicious, but my favorites are the mushroom pizza and burrata pizza. The mushroom pizza is bursting with meaty, juicy, umami mushrooms. The burrata is creamy and the arugula adds a nice balance of peppery lightness. The pizza dough is so delicate and perfectly pillowy on the inside and crusty on the outside. I crave this pizza weekly!

    We came here on a Sunday at 3pm after a nearby memorial service. From the outside, it looks elegant and inviting. The ambiance inside is classic and tasteful. It seemed like they were social distancing--the place was only half full. I thought we had lucked out and found the perfect place for our party of 8. Unfortunately, most of the food wasn't up to the nice ambiance. we started with a pizza appetizer, which had way way too much oregano. The crust itself however was tasty with the right amount of bite. I had a burrata, tomato and prosciutto sandwich which was soggy (bread was way too dense). And cost around $15. Then I had meatballs (dry and tasteless). I left most of that on the plate. The one good thing was the salad with avocado and corn. It was well seasoned and the avocado was perfectly ripe. The service was meh. They seemed to reach over me a little too much for my comfort. Bottom line: this place needs to try harder to justify the price. The pizza seems the best bet.

I'm also happy to report that their happy hour, though still in its early stages, is shaping up to be a solid way to give them a try. We ordered the mussels frites, fish sliders, crab bites, Brussels sprouts, and the pretzel with cheese. The absolute standouts were the fish sliders and the mussels in wine sauce. We usually get the fish and chips and mussels from the regular menu, so we had a feeling these would be the winners and they were. I'd 100% recommend both plates. We ended up ordering two rounds of fish sliders so that should say it all! :) The Brussels sprouts were roasted and simply prepared, which I really appreciated. I'm honestly over seeing fried Brussels on every menu, they're rarely that good and oily. If I could tweak anything, I'd add a sauce or drizzle for a little extra dimension, maybe balsamic or a sweet chili dip. Still, I'd absolutely order them again; they make for a great, lighter snack or side. The pretzel was pretty standard, but I liked that it didn't come salted since the cheese sauce has plenty of seasoning. It came out piping hot and stayed that way until the very last bite.  The crab bites were just okay for me. The sauce they come with is tasty, but I wish there was a little more flavor mixed into the crab itself, maybe some onions, peppers or herbs. However, they're not bad at all; they're full of crab meat and overall really solid. If you prefer a simpler flavor profile, you'll probably love them, especially with a squeeze of fresh lemon. We genuinely love Dakota's, and we'll keep coming back to enjoy the views and the great service. It's been nice seeing them evolve into a true neighborhood staple with all the events they've been hosting. Right now they're even running a toy drive, and they have toys available on site that you can purchase and drop directly into the donation box. Such a clever and thoughtful touch.  It's also worth mentioning that they're in full holiday mode right now, with decorations throughout the space. Whether you just want to soak up the festive atmosphere or snap a cute picture by the tree, they've got you covered.

The vibes were amazing from start to finish: great music (major shoutout to the DJ), perfect lighting, and a lively, fun atmosphere that made the night feel special. The food was fantastic and the portions were huge -- seriously, two or three people could've eaten from my plate alone. I ordered the pernil with rice and beans, plus a variety appetizer platter. The pork was juicy (though I do wish the skin was a little crispier), the beans were flavorful, and both the garlic and chimichurri sauces were top-notch. The potato salad was okay, but overall, the meal delivered big flavor and big portions. Since it was my birthday, the team surprised me with a birthday flan and tres leches dessert plate that the restaurant provided. It was the perfect ending -- sweet, creamy, and delicious. The birthday celebration itself was incredible; you truly feel like a superstar. Between the LED signs, the DJ shoutouts, and your name flashing across the booth screen, the energy was unmatched. The drinks were just okay, nothing to write home about, but they got the job done. The only other downsides were the limited parking (especially at night) and the two-hour time limit for our party of ten. Still, it was a fantastic night overall. Great food, great vibes, and a truly fun experience. I'd highly recommend Made in Puerto Rico for birthdays, team outings, or anyone looking for flavorful food and an energetic atmosphere.
