We absolutely LOVE this place! The food is always consistently delicious, no matter what we order. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in every dish. The staff is amazing, friendly, and welcoming. They always go out of their way to ensure a great dining experience. A special mention to Sergio, who always brings positive energy and professionalism every time we visit. And we can’t say enough good things about our outstanding server, Chris. His patience and attentiveness were next level. At one point, I accidentally dropped my knife on the floor, and when I picked it up, Chris was already at the table with a new one in hand. Above and beyond service like that is rare and so appreciated. Highly recommend. This place never disappoints!

My mother wanted to see a movie that was only showing in this area, so we drove an hour to come out here. While we were in this area, my mom absolutely wanted to go to Made in Italy afterwards for a late lunch. She loves the place and it's only the long drive that dissuades her from going more often. The staff seated us promptly and came right over with the bread and oil. Our main dishes were delivered soon after that. She had the pizza - which she loves - and I had the salmon. Both were very tasty with plenty for leftovers. Service was efficient and friendly. The place was lovely. Well recommended!

The management team have issues in this establishment, they don’t know what is customer service, the staff lack of proper training. The vibe here always noisy, with unprofessional staff. The food is below the average, and the drinks are overpriced.

Don’t recommend sitting at the bar. We ordered drinks and an app. The bartender stood and talked with another couple and couldn’t be bothered to check on us or even get our order for food. Then acted shocked when I asked for the check. The other couple left then she tried to be chatty. Nope I won’t be back.

Came here to try the pizza and left. Very disappointed. A very soggy pizza and the whole place reeks of a tourist trap. The service was good so they get a point for that.

The restaurant itself is charming and very cutely decorated. I think the location is very nice as well with close proximity to many shops. However, the food was mediocre at best and overpriced for tourism. No free refills on drinks but they don't tell you that until they've given you the bill. The pasta may be hand made but it was not very good. Overall very disappointed in the experience.

geez if they would just try a little harder...For some reason Tastes of Italy chefs don't grasp the magnitude of serving left over pork...Osso Bucco Pork Shank specifically made ever 3 or 4 days is rarely served fresh...The problem is unless they know how to deal with Pork left in the refrigerator the Pork is going to pick up the smell of the fridge and start to degrade...Why not just cook 3 or 4 servings per day and serve it fresh? The other disappointment was the pesto...its terrible...and tastes like they get it out of a bottle...its not that hard to whip up fresh pesto in a cuisinart within 2 minutes...a bushel of basil, olive oil, 3 cloves of garlic, parmisian cheese and pine nuts or walnuts or macadamia nuts...very disappointing...

Bravissimo. First, get captured by the dreamy, delish Italiano autentico pizza with exacting pleasurable proportions of crispy, cheesy, and crusty. You’ll note and savor the quality of the obviously fresh toppings. In total every dish on the intelligent menu is a riff of the chef’s inspiration — prepared, presented and plated with a finesse. The superb and well-selected top-shelf bar and tasteful complex drinks will nail you. Decor and ambiance is artsy/earthy and leans romantic and seductive. Taste of Italy offers a refined rustic dining experience with a subtle decadence you will love.

The food is hit or miss. So I do not come here very often. Very happy they have vegan options and understand the meaning.
