The food was some of the best Italian food I have ever had. The Lasagna was delicious and piping hot. The Coccali was a great appetizer. The service was top notch in a busy restaurant as there was plenty of staff.

Wagyu was DELICIOUS. Loved that they grilled for you on the table, too. The short rib had a yummy marinade but it was far too chewy - I felt like it took me 5 mins to chew one piece of the medium-rare bite-sized piece. I think the price was worth it for the wagyu but everything else was over-priced for what you got, in terms of taste/flavor/amount. Staff was lovely.
