    It had been a while since our last visit. 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…

    I just find it silly that there is no tea offered - hot or cold. Hot tea is the simplest - just hot water and a tea bag!

    Food is on the smaller side but it tasted good. 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.

    My wife’s pasta was light on sauce—not only was that remedied, but a manager came over to our table and comped both of our meals, partly we think as a result of an issue we had a month ago where a manager didn’t come by our table. Excellent follow up and attention paid by this fantastic restaurant, which we go to often and love!

    We were put too close to the kitchen since we had 1 7 rd old and a larger party but would be nice to have a way not to look at or hear the kitchen.

    I very much enjoy Valenza as a personal and business setting. I and my guests enjoy the consistently excellent food and wines. We again had exceptional service from Lauren. She is attentive, has such a positive attitude and approach to serving.

    Always great food until last night. 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😭

    One of those neighborhood restaurants that is an extension of home. By that I mean Valenza is comfortable and is inviting. The food is always so good. Service very excellent. Superb!
