    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++

    The surf and turf special was very good. Steak cooked rare as requested. Quattro fromaggio pizza was delicious. Has a nice vibe that appeals to both young and old diners

    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.

    Overall the ambience and pizza were very good. The Affogato was good, however, the gelato was a bit icy. The cocktails were delicious. I would definitely go again.

    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.

    The food was delicious worth the wait. The steak was prepared perfectly, we went for brunch, but couldn’t decide what to get so we got; French toast, steak and eggs and a beacon, egg foccia it was all perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. Every bite was heaven, well done!!

    Overall it was a good experience. The entrees and signature cocktail were delicious. Loved the mushroom pasta. The panna cotta was very good and the tiramisu was just okay.. a little bland. The service was wonderful. The staff was attentive, professional and patient. The vibe and ambiance seemed a little confusing.. the televisions and music seem more fitting for a sports bar than an Italian restaurant in the afternoon.

    It was way too loud for conversation , I could see if they started it after 9:00 but it was impossible to talk and waiter was nice but service was soooooo slow - despite a nice menu with a couple creative items I’m not rushing back until they get their kinks out….

    Valet left our key in another car who left before us and drove away. Only by luck did it happen to be a member of our party., which we figured out when we called him. He Had already crossed a bridge and had to return. The valet also forgot to give him his key too. Once he got home he would not be able to start the car. And he lives 30 miles away. Not the restaurants fault, I get it. But don’t you think the restaurant should have offered a gift card? Offered a drink while we waited and main concern was not being at fault. We waited 40 minutes to get the car. Lasagna was good though …

    Found this brand new restaurant on open table so decided to give it a try. Was happy I did. Had a few cocktails, the meat anti pasto, pasta bolognese and sampled a couple of desserts. Portions good size, good prices and most important all tasted great. I recommend giving it a shot. Say hello to David the owner who just opened Valdari. You will enjoy.
