The burger was one of the best we've ever had, juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The fries were lightly seasoned with truffle, giving them just the right amount of flavor, with a perfect crunch. The wings were also fantastic. The Cajun style buffalo wings had bold, flavorful spices, and the balsamic glaze was a great complement to the blue cheese wedge, rich and tangy without being overpowering. I tried the Papa's Storm cocktail, and it was dangerously delicious, smooth, well-balanced, and incredibly refreshing. Our server was friendly and attentive, always ensuring our drinks were topped off without us even needing to ask. The ambience is quaint and casual, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. Most importantly, the food was very affordable, which made the experience even better. We had an excellent first visit and are already looking forward to coming back!

GET A PARKING SPOT in the gravel lot so my wife could hobble in with her bone on bone knee (getting 'fixed any day now) Service was awesome, hostess fantastic, our server was conversational and fantastic, and the beverages/drinks (the draw for my wife) were generous and tasty as usual. I am a little disappointed at the sides serving "cup" (black beans, yellow rice, and edamame) while the online menus does not post prices they are a little bit more expensive now this year and looking at my pictures from the past a little more diminutive? I do see I substituted and they made up a BEAN taco for me one time so maybe I will switch back to that creation.

You do have to order from a counter and they call your name to come and carry the food tray back to your table. Napkins, condiments and plastic spoons were available at a nearby station. Kinda self serve all around. We ordered the sampler meal hoping to try a few items to see what we liked. I must say we didn't care for the dishes with all the fried dough and just didn't feel like we had a very healthy meal. We just weren't expecting everything to be fried. Maybe those who enjoy Latin food will be more forgiving but this just wasn't for us.

Two women and three girls! Venice Avenue was crowded on this gorgeous early evening. I had chosen this restaurant due to its great Gluten-free options and kids' menu. Wow--did it deliver on those with a most attentive server. This is classic Italian comfort food--and the GF versions were excellent. Especially the GF pizza and focaccia. I had the regular Lasagna with Bolognese and it was yummy! Yes, there may be a more "gourmet" fine dining Italian place down the street, but Made in Italy did a great Valentine's feast for us. The entire restaurant was packed and the vibes of love were everywhere! And the server was so sweet to our 6 year old twins and 4 year old sister! And BTW the cucumber skinny martini was fabulous!

They even included sliced bread with oil & vinegar for dipping. We will definitely return on our next trip to Venice! Delizioso!
