The upstairs was very load, and the downstairs a bit better. The food was excellent, the service was very good considering how busy they were. The valet parking was disappointing. It was very difficult as the did not have a person at the door and I needed to jump out, stop traffic and run inside holding up traffic and then the inside person needed to run down the street to grab the valet and when they saw my F150 pickup they said I needed to pay double or $60 when it is advertised at $22 for valet parking WTF?

Pretty lackluster. Rigatoni felt like it was a Sysco product. Prices listed on Open Table menu must be old as they are lower than the menu we got at the restaurant. Nothing special overall, but it was pretty lively and nice to visit the North End.
