It was a lovely gesture offering delicious focaccia and a desert complimentary. However as lovely as this was charging $59 for a Porterhouse steak with no sides ( just few chips) is way too pricey. The cut of meat was very chewy with plenty of veiny fatty bits.

My family and I came here for a family reunion which went amazing. We had half the restaurant tables next to the window and the function space for the dance floor. Recommending to anyone looking for a space for a special occasion for that authentic Italian family feel.
