Issues with service and bar drinks.. However, the food has always been excellent. OMG, what a difference a waiter can make. Anthony was exceptional.. The drinks from the bar were excellent and the service outstanding. Of course, as expected, the food was excellent. We were there celebrating my niece’s graduation from veterinary school.. She loves Italian and wanted to take her to a celebratory restaurant.. Valenza did not disappoint.. the scallops with risotto was done perfect.. not over cooked.. the pork chop was excellent and the short rib pasta dish was great.. Thanks to Anthony and the great food, Valenza is a restaurant we look forward going back to…

My pasta was cold, our waiter seemed rushed when speaking to us and then he disappeared majority of our meal. Someone else took our empty plates and the. We sat there a good 10+ minutes with an empty table until our waiter decided to show up with dessert menus. I had high hopes for the restaurant since it had great reviews. It wasn’t the top notch experience that I was hoping for.

Excellent follow up and attention paid by this fantastic restaurant, which we go to often and love!

The saltimbuco was dry and tasteless, agnolotti was cool when served. The salmon and grouper entries received rave reviews. The peche appetizer was great as were our drinks and overly solicitous server. We came at 6:30 on Saturday night, wrong move, it was so loud us old folks had a hard time listening to one another, especially with the five people next door yelling to be heard. Sorry Valenza😭
