    Food was absolutely delicious and our server was great. But holy crap was it way too crowded. I would recommend this place for a date night or delish Italian dinner, but NOT ON VALENTINE’s DAY. It was very crowded/tight, noisy, busy, and impersonal. Food was worth staying, but would not go back around any holidays. They divided all the tables and put them like 2 ft apart from one another… we could barely squeeze past the people on both sides to sit down. I am not exaggerating)… We didn’t even have space for our drinks on the table with our plates. We really wanted to stay and enjoy more drinks/ dessert, but opted out because of how uncomfortable the atmosphere was. We were in and out in 40 minutes.
