It gets loud if you dine close to the bar. It's part of the fun! We like it o fine at the bar if we can get a seat to chat with owners. The pizza is wonderful, my personal fav is the bistro bacon salad. Oh and there is a wide selection of great local craft beer. Not in the mood for beer? Try the wine list, they have Napa wines of course but they also have wine from New Zealand, France, etc.
