Ate here on a Tuesday night and the atmosphere was just right; not too busy but not too quiet either. The waiters were friendly and prompt with service. We got nachos with chicken for starter ($110), which were absolutely delicious and plentiful in quantity. They were served in this really cool bowl, and we couldn't believe how big they were for a starter... Definitely would recommend this dish but it could easily serve 3/4 as a starter; not that I'm complaining, just a heads up! For main the

For main the better half had mushroom risotto ($150), which was very creamy and rich, but really tasty. The portion wasn't huge, but was quite heavy and dense, so didn't really need to be excessive in size, especially after the huge starter! Would have been a nice extra if it we're served with some sort of bread perhaps.
I had the chicken parmigiana ($160); 3 chicken fillets smothered in cheese with BBQ / ketchup on the side, with chips and a salad. The cheese tasted a little processes but that's my only gripe. I'm a big eater and couldn't quite finish all of it! Great taste and very filling, couldn't really ask for much more.
The only down side to the experience was that it was a really cold evening- ~7 degrees which isn't usually an issue, but the doors were open and despite there being two large burners going, it was still cold inside. But as I say, I think we were just unlucky with the weather and it couldn't be helped.
Total cost with two drinks (beer and soda) was $550.
Would definitely recommend to others, especially expats who want a taste of home. The cost however is a little overpriced in my opinion.
