“A warm, light, satisfying serving of congenially cliched comedy-drama written and ably directed by actor James D’Arcy.” Jim Schembri, jimschembri.com.

“Watch Made in Italy for the beauty to the eye, the impassioned performances by father and son, and a look at what is old and should be new again.” Wendy Shreve, Featuring Film.
