    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.

    One of our favorite and regular stops when in Worcester. Staff is incredibly attentive and the kitchen cooks every meal to order. Reasonably priced and conveniently located, we will always return.
