About this restaurant

  • Kid-friendly
  • Innovative
  • Good for special occasions
San Mateo's Made in Italy is a relaxing and friendly restaurant that serves contemporary Italian cuisine, perfect with the vast selection of vintages that grace the wall above the bar. The polpette di carne Calabrese style ground beef and parmesan meatballs served with toasted bread makes a truly tantalizing appetizer option. The pannuozzo Southern Italian panini are popular menu items at Made in Italy, with varieties including the vegetariano, loaded with ricotta, Buffalo mozzarella in Italian dressing and Pomodoro sauce, the al crudo with prosciutto di parma, arugula, ricotta and mozzarella and the Calabrese with sausage, broccoli and mozzarella, all grilled to gooey perfection. Additionally, Made in Italy is renowned for crispy Napoletana pizzas, like the frutti di mare with mussels, prawn, calamari, tomatoes and garlic and the classic cheese and tomato margherita. For a sweet finish, enjoy the tartufo al caffe ice cream truffle with coffee crumble.

    My MIL wanted to check this place out after reading a review in the paper. When we walked in it didn't seem like anything to write home about. Then we were greeted by the owner and her 7 month old baby. She took our drink order and was so gracious. Her husband then came to take our food order. He made some suggestions and we were had the most amazing meal. We are looking forward to dining here again with other friends!!!

    We loved this place. We were greeted in Italian by the owner. He came to our table with several tastes of interesting wines to try, in an effort to find us just the right one. The pizza, made with a very long rising yeast was simply scrumptious. The menu is limited, the decor isn't fancy, and it isn't inexpensive, but we thought the quality of the food and the genial atmosphere were spot on, for a casual Friday night dinner in the neighborhood. We will be back!

    If you like pizza, gotta try this place. Pizza crust was really good. They had a special, porcini mushroom pizza, which was delicious. Too bad it's not part of their menu. Customer service was great although it was a slow night.

    If you are looking for authentic Napoletana pizza, Made in Italy is the pizzeria to visit. The dough was light and crispy, burrata creamy and the sauce made with sweet San Marzano tomatoes. Molto bene! Also try the polpette di carne, soft meatballs served with sauce sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. A wedge of baked pizza dough was served alongside so you could dunk into the sauce to get the last drop! For dessert, the Nutella pizza was the perfect end to our dinner. Creamy melted Nutella on their wonderful pizza crust sprinkled with powdered sugar. Some ingredients, buffala mozzarella, proscutto di Parma, San Mazano tomatoes, caputo flour are imported from Italy. In my opinion, that is what makes the food so delicious. I highly recommend, visiting this pizzeria next time you are wanting pizza. One solution to a comment that wanted additional salt on the pizza, ask for additional Parmesan grated over the pizza. Grazie per una cena meravigliosa.

    The food is authentic, fresh, and well prepared with attentive service. The wine list is not long but features a decent variety of quite good Italian & California wines. The decor is like a neighborhood bar / ristorante, not fancy. I liked that a lot and will definitely return.
