Valbella, which since 1992 has been a celebratory place and a regular haunt for the locals who pack it most nights of the week both for its sumptuous food and its astonishing wine cellar, containing 1,450 selections and 16,000 bottles.
Downstairs in the wine cellar is where many people hold private parties of various sizes,and what a splendidly beautiful room it is, done in polished wood, with a lovely fireplace, the tables impeccably set, the stemware thin, the temperature geared to the maintenance of the wine.
Also an outstanding feature of the wine cellar is a heated granite table that can accommodate up to sixteen guests.

    Always a good meal, crowd is getting older and older. Staff was great, knowledgeable and attentive. Prices are always very high, but it’s a good meal and you pay lots for that now.

    Even on a Saturday night that the restaurant was hosting a private party with VIPs, they took excellent care of us. The service and the pacing of the kitchen was terrific and you'd never know from our experience how busy the team was. A wonderful, special evening.

    We had an exceptional dining experience at Valbella. From the moment we arrived, the service was quick, professional, and attentive. The ambiance was perfect for conversation, with a peaceful atmosphere that allowed us to enjoy our meal without any noise distractions. The table settings were immaculate, and the dinnerware added an extra touch of elegance to our evening. The food was outstanding, especially the pasta, which we highly recommend. And with hundreds of wines to choose from, we found the perfect pairing for our meal. Valbella truly delivered a five-star experience. Highly recommend!
