We came here for restaurant week on a Friday night and the place was packed! It was bar-level noisy, so unless you and your date can yell to hear each other it's not ideal for intimate conversations. (On the plus side, could be great for group outings --at least 4 different groups were celebrating birthdays, complete with a sparkler on their dessert).
We thought the food was delicious and reasonably priced given that it's an Italian restaurant and you get free bread at the start. There's a $10 menu after 10pm (with a small selection of their regular dishes), and a different special for each day of the week for ~$25 which comes with a glass of wine. Hubby and I are already looking forward to coming back and taking advantage of these specials!
