"I tried Made in Italy for the first time today, and it definitely won't be my last (see you soon, Joe!). The porchetta appetizer was thinly sliced and packed with flavor, with a caramel-colored ribbon of seared lardo along the edge. It was accompanied by delicately fried zucchini flowers that were light, not greasy, and filled with just the right amount of mozzarella. The arugula salad was topped with thin slices of fresh pear, drizzled with balsamic glaze, and sprinkled with fresh gorgonzola cheese. The cacio e pepe pasta was exceptional: perfectly cooked with a great balance of seasoning and cheese. Our server Joe was friendly and enthusiastic, yet gave us the space to enjoy our meal in private (a rare quality in a great server, by the way). How wonderful! As an Italian American, it was heartwarming to hear Sicilian being spoken in the kitchen and to see a menu where Italian dishes are spelled correctly. These details may not mean much to some, but for me, they say a lot about a restaurant even before I walk through the door. I can't wait to go back soon!"
