M&M Italian Restaurant has an amazing background. M&M is a family owned and operated restaurant maintained by six brothers. The name M&M originated from their names, Munoz their father's last name followed by their mother's maiden name Macias. All together their middle-last names are Munoz-Macias; with that they introduced the name M&M. These bright men intended on opening a Mexican restaurant after many pizza parlor failures; however, a friend of M&M owner, Eli Munoz-Macias, said that they knew how to cook outstanding Italian food; concluding the birth of M&M. These six brothers are not new in the restaurant business in fact they grew up in it. They first began working in restaurants and grew together creating their own restaurant. These men manage, cook, clean, waitress, and also run the business of their locally owned store, Buy-and-Save Market.
Since our recession began M&M owner, Eli Munoz-Macias, feels as if they haven't seen the effect on their restaurant. Mr. Munoz-Macias states, "We have been blessed to survive, but we struggle with payments and our location." Even though our economy isn't wonderful, the brothers feels as though they are continuing to succeed with their business. When asked the question, how would they rate themselves in comparison to other local restaurant their answer was perfectly said, "Leave it up to the customers."

**Yelp= 4.5/5 Stars**
**Urbanspoon= 4.5/5 Stars**
**Tripadvisor= 5/5 Stars**
Mr. Eli says that they try their hardest to get the best food and ingredients, but he adds the fact that it's hard to get locally fresh goods. There are not many options to chose from. When it comes to getting their products they have two to three providers that they compare quality and price to. They are currently in the process of moving locations.The anticipating opening date for the new location is April 2012. Mr. Eli states in our interview, "I want customers to walk in and feel comfortable. This is our place." He is only asking that his customers show respect and are comfortable when entering the restaurant doors. They are looking for a long-term business; they are trying to help support the community. The Munoz-Macias brothers are looking to provide better service and provide consistency for their new location.
