   The service is always top notch. Pesto is amazing and the old fashion cocktail is a must have.

   AMAZING! This was our 2nd time here...our first time was at their soft opening. Where do I begin...the staff is very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. David, the chef/owner is fantatic and we had the pleasure of his brother serving us last night. I'm actually going to start with the bread, sounds silly but it was sooo good. I wanted something that wasn't even on the menu for my main dish and they made it happen! I got exactly what I asked for so my dish was fabulous! We were a party of 8 last night and all of our food came out piping hot. Everyone in our party loved the food. The deserts were fantastic, I think we had one of everything. The espresso martini was wonderful...all of the cocktails we had were very good. When we were getting ready to leave a DJ showed up, I'm only sorry we had to go. Thanks a bunch for making my friends birthday 🎂 extra special!

   The food was delicious! This was my second time here. However, this time around the service was terrible. The hostess took forever to seat us claiming she needed to clear tables meanwhile 4 tables were clean. She then forgot to come to look for us to tell us the table was ready. We had a reservation and it took almost another 30 mins to be seated. When we ordered we didn't get our margarita pitcher until 15 mins after we ordered. I had to call the waiter to ask what was taking so long. Meanwhile the whole time the pitcher was ready at the bar but the waiter was too busy chatting away and forgot all about it. He realized that I saw him chatting away and immediately rushed over with the water down pitcher. After when the entrees came the two others in my party got their meals and I never got my pizza. When the waiter finally came over he asked how everything was and I told him I never got my pizza. He forgot to put it in! I got my pizza once everyone else finished eating. He gave me a shot on the house so that was nice of him. When we were ready to pay again the waiter disappeared after dropping off the check. I had to call another waiter to call him over so we could pay. Sucks that the service is so bad at this place. I really love the food and vibe but I don't know if I'll be back after this experience.

   The food was good but not great. My truffle burger was cooked just as I requested and I greatly enjoyed it. However, my husband’s veal scaloppine was overdone and dry. It was also extremely noisy I believe due to the ceiling height. I would go back to have the burger again, however. And their martinis were lovely.

    We were impressed by the inviting atmosphere when w arrived. We went for a let lunch so the restaurant was not very busy (3pm). The seating was comfortable, the restrooms were very clean. Our waiter was warm and welcoming and helped us with the wine selection. The food was excellent. The $28 prix fixe menu included three courses.I had the butternut squash soup that was whipped and drizzled with cream and pistachios. Then salmon, perfectly cooked, with finely blundered potatoes and broccoli rabe. Then pana cotta for dessert. Everything was perfectly cooked and the presentation was excellent. I will definitely return to this “secret” gem on a back street in Bayside. Sorry i forgot to take photos!

    The food was delicious. The desserts were eh! The zepoles were not zepoles. They were more like sugar coated munchkins. And the cannoli was not great. Place is nice. A bit loud. But that’s ok because we are loud. Lol.

    we enjoyed our meal and consider returning in the future. The food was good but I was expecting to try the Sunday family style dinner which was advertised and not available. The staff was friendly but need a little more experience. The meal cost was average for the cuisine.

    This was my first time at Valdari's and I enjoyed it. Many Kudos to Danielle, she was excellent. I asked for a little whipped cream for my espresso they had none so she made some herself. Also actually payed attention to the fact that it was my friends bday and put a candle on the dessert. Now that is OUTSTANDIING service. Food was very good, my scallops weren't really seared but still tasty. Will be back!

    We visited to celebrate our first anniversary based on the great reviews we’d seen online, and were so happy that we did! We were taken care of by lovely staff who were friendly, checked on us regularly, and even brought complementary champagne for our special night! The cocktails were delicious and well made, our food was fresh, delicious, and an excellent value for the price- so much so that me and my guy actually *shared a dessert!* our entrees were so filling! I am excited to try everything on their menu, but can highly recommend the salmon as I greedily cleaned my plate of every delicious morsel, my only regret of the evening being that I couldn’t enjoy more of the fresh, luscious pasta served with my guy’s generously sized and perfectly executed chicken parm. I can say with certainty that this will become Our Neighborhood Spot.

    Went with a group of 7 for bunch! From the moment we walked in the staff was warm and welcoming in particular Sofie! She usually runs the bar but assisted with our table. The bottomless brunch was amazing! The desserts were second to none! We're excited to come back and give this place a try for dinner!! A++

    We went there for the disco brunch, but they didn’t play disco. Lol. There was a DJ, and he did play a variety of different types of music. The food was delicious! I had a burger, and my friend had avocado toast, and the portions were huge and well worth the brunch price. Plus, there was unlimited Bellini‘s or sangria for 90 minutes. The restaurant was very busy, but our waiter was still very attentive, even though he had a lot of tables to wait on. The hostess also visited our table a few times to ensure that everything was OK. I will definitely return!

    My family and I recently visited your restaurant and we were extremely disappointed with our experience. While enjoying a drink, my wife noticed a moldy blackberry in her glass. This is completely unacceptable and shows a serious lack of attention to cleanliness and hygiene in the kitchen. When we brought it to the attention of the staff, they did replace her drink but didn't seem particularly concerned or apologetic about the situation. Overall, this ruined our dining experience and left a bad taste in our mouths. We would not recommend Valdari restaurant to anyone and will not be returning ourselves. It's unacceptable to serve food and drinks that are not up to proper health standards, and the lack of concern from the staff was unacceptable. Additionally, my reservation indicated we were there for my son's birthday. Nothing was ever mentioned on the part of the staff regarding this.

    Constant sore point with me and restaurants is not replacing silverware that is used in an appetizer course but removing the plate and laying down the silverware back on the table especially if it has food particles on it for use in the next course. Valdari seemed to be short enough servers since service was slightly worse than I would expect. Food quality and portion size was good. Prices were on the low side and are of good value. I will return.

    Visited Valdari for the first time this Valentine's Day. They had a prix fixe menu that was limited but delicious, the scallops appetizer was my favorite! My boyfriend and I loved the wine pairing option which complimented all the dishes perfectly! Our server was super attentive and friendly and the atmosphere was lively and romantic. We will definitely be back to try their full menu!

    Took my wife for Valentine's day. They had a pre-fixe menu which in itself wasn't weird but I did not see this advertised anywhere. Our waitress said it was. Either way, the price was outrageously high for only okay quality food and they did not offer even 1 vegetarian entree option. They also forced a 20% gratuity on our bill. We paid over $200 for a meal that even at it's highest was worth $100.

    We were so excited to try this new restaurant. Unfortunately upon arrival on a Sunday, they were having a disco brunch. Music way too loud and the clientele really didn’t seem interested in the music at all, save the music for a club. With that said, we ordered a pizza which was delicious, and a few pasta dishes which were good. Wish them luck and continued success.
