    We've been to Valenza several times and always enjoy it. This outing was made especially memorable by the fantastic service by our waitress, Lauren, who was professional in every aspect, including her sweet demeanor, which was very much appreciated by my 92-year old parents. Food is always tasty and both the ravioli and pappardelle are always solid choices.

    We had a 5:15 reservation and the noise level was fine. By the time we left around 6:45, the noise level was getting to the loud phase. The food and service were very good. On the food side, the peach salad was "overdressed" which drowned out the other flavors. Our waitperson was very good but spoke a bit too fast for our no-longer prime-time hearing. Minor issues for an outstanding restaurant.

    Upscale Italian in Brookhaven. Solid wine list. Portions are not too big so you don’t leave uncomfortably stuffed. Multiple specials and both simple and complex pasta dishes, all of which are tasty.
