Party of 4 on 11/27/24. Had 4 different meals all good. Two different steaks both overly charred but cooked to desired temperature. One veal parmigiana was excellent and huge portion. One gnocchi which was excellent the pasta was very light and very tasty. Focaccia bread appetizer and salads were spot on. Getting in and out of there booths is a challenge because of the design end where you get in and out - has a raised portion which is poorly designed. Getting a table next time.
