They age and cut their steaks in their own meat shop.
Their pasta is handmade, and they use family secret recipe sauces. They also have numerous chicken entrees.

Michael & Cathie

 In March of 1993 Mike and Cathie built a bakery in the old apple pressing room of the cider mill. Today the bakery is used to bake fresh Italian bread and make other desserts such as the fresh gelato (Italian ice cream). Merlino’s gelato changes flavors monthly and only the freshest fruits (no extracts or concentrates) are used.
In April of 2001 the bakery was expanded to include a new pasta machine and presently all the pasta (spaghetti, fettuccini, lasagne, etc.) is made in the Bakery and Pasta Shop.
