Made In Italy Express

I tried Made in Italy Express for the first time today. A coworker gave me a copy of the menu and I am so glad I decided to order from them! We had a Tacchinella sandwich with chips and soup. She had Italian Wedding and I had Pasta Fajioli soup. SO YUMMY! I will definitely be ordering from them again.

Just had a great Positano chicken panini and cup of soup. Delicious! Friendly owners, fair prices, old neighborhood feel. Wonderful Italisn music piped into the small seating area.
I’ll be bringing my Italian dad here soon!
Carried out a veggie panini for my daughter and she lived that!
Hidden gem.

A delicious Italian sandwich that was quick and inexpensive. A great edition to downtown Glen Ellyn

Delicious food; don’t miss the tiramisu and caprese salad! Limited seating, but excellent for take-​out. Awesome deli items and small groceries selection.

Good, clean, quality food and establishment, but a little pricey. Been there a number of times and have ordered the #7 (positano). Sandwiches come with a bag of chips and will run about $ 10. Chip selection is very limited (Jay’s, not Frito Lay products). Overall, healthier option than most places around here and totes «non-​GMO» and «gluten-​free», if your into that.

I enjoy a mean peanut butter sandwich as much as the next guy, but I thank God daily for replacing Peanut Butter Paradise (or whatever it was called) with Made in Italy Express. (Incidentally, I believe the owner of the previous place is starting a new gluten-​theme restaurant…)
Made in Italy Express is the perfect addition to downtown Glen Ellyn’s food scene. As authentic an Italian café as you’ll find in these parts, the regular salad and sandwich menu is accompanied by soups made in-​house and a variety of daily specials. I had the muffaletta sandwich off the specials board one day. Most muffaletta I’ve had are scarce on the meat and heavy on the olive spread. Not at Made in Italy Express. It was solid, and I could taste the flavors of the different meats: mortadella, salami, ham… whatever else they threw in there.
And that’s how they roll! The sandwiches are generous and balanced with the right fresh herbs, cheeses and oils. I have yet to be disappointed. When asked if you want the sandwich pressed, your response should be one of the following:
1. Yes please.
2. Absolutely.
3. Does a bear crap in the woods?
Get it done.
Finally, the lady who has worked the counter every time I’ve been there recognized me the other day and threw in a couple of treats for my girls… on the house. Nice touch! Go to Made in Italy Express… often!

Stopped in randomly and had a Crazy Calabrese. I can’t speak to its authenticity as I’m not Italian, but I can tell high quality when I taste it – this was excellent. Very excited to go back for more in the future

Cute little Italian sandwich shop with a few Italian pantry items in the back. Perfect for picking up to go for a picnic or jumping on the Metra. There’s not a lot of dining space. I like the idea of a local casual sandwich place that is not a food chain in the downtown Glen Ellyn area.

This place is extremely high quality, if a little expensive. However you get what you pay for. I had the number 7, and while it was a little difficult to eat as the chicken breast was left whole, the ingredients were fresh and absolutely top quality. The woman at the counter was extremely friendly and the restaurant was clean and had tons of cool retail items.

I love the fresh herbs they grow themselves. The food is very delicious and the waiter and owner are excellent host. The fish is excellent and fresh. Yummy. I recommend this authentic Italian restaurants to everyone. Hello Jimmino

If you want fresh food this is the place to go. The chicken and Rice soup is the best I have ever had! The meatball sandwiches run a close second, and the salads are nice size and a great variety. I think these guys will be here a while.

I couldn’t wait for their place to open. The main restaurant is around the corner from the new sandwich shop. The food is wonderful and their little Italian store has a great selection of pasta, sauces and giardiniera. Try the Parma sandwich. You won’t be disappointed.
