   First time dining at this restaurant. We ordered the 1/2 price pasta dishes. I had the cheese ravioli Bolognese, and my wife had the tortellini with chicken. Both were outstanding. She had the soup and I had a salad. Her soup was okay. My salad consisted of romaine lettuce and two tomatoes. Not much to the salad but the Italian dressing was very flavorful. I also ordered a diet coke and got one refill. The server was new (less than a week) and we had a lot of questions, being our first time. She was a trooper and answered everything. We were the only customers as we had a 3pm reservation and it opened at 3pm. So, overall, great food and great service. Why only 4 starts? Because when I received my bill, I was charged for the second soft drink. They do not give free refills on soft drinks. I don't think I have experienced this in many years. I realize the price of coke products has increased, but the drink was relatively small to begin with, and they charge $3.50 for a small soft drink. I even asked if there was a mistake, and was told no free refills. I guess I would have liked to have known that when I asked for a refill. I mean look, the food was great and it was half price pasta day, so I am going to return. But I'm just saying I'm not used to paying that much ($7) for a soft drink and refill. Next time I will get a chicken or veal dish, but I will remember the coke products are a bit pricey.

   We have dined at Made in Italy a few times now and every time was an excellent experience having interesting, not typical Italian dishes and very good quality at reasonable prices. We highly recommend Made in Italy as a must try Restaurant experience.
