Valenza Restaurant

Superb neighborhood spot

The entire evening was very enjoyable.
Adam was terrific and enhanced the experience.
I will be back soon. Valenza is now on my preferred dining rotation.

Sat at the bar - we love Grace!

Excellent every time- delicious!

Great food and service! We had a big group and they were able to accommodate us!

I was really disappointed in how Valenza is handling Covid. while the staff was masked appropriately, the dining room was packed - every table full and not spaced out

Food was great! Great disappointment from the recommended wine - we expected good quality at $18 a glass....both of us ended up with a an after dinner headache which is a symptom of a poor wine quality. There was very little attention to COVID-19 restrictions and minimum required distance wasn't respected at all times. Service was clumsy, waiters fell down, dropped utensils on the floor, late serving us...etc. Other than the food itself, minus the wine, nothing exciting.

Everything was great except for the wait for our table. We had a reservation for outdoor dining but were seated late as we were unaware that outdoor dining is first come first served. That is not on open table so just be aware - if its a nice night you will probably have to wait and there were several parties before us who had to wait as well. Once we were finally seated everthing was 5 star!

Mary, our server, was absolutely delightful and a pleasure! Her recommendations and enthusiasm were spot on! Thank you for an amazing dining experience!

Perfect! Chef Matt serves up some of the best fish dishes around!

Sunday night super was outstanding . Three course delicious dinner at an incredible price. Excellent service as well. Will definitely be going back.

Fantastic dinner experience. Well-spaced patio dining with space heaters available. Food was delicious and wine list had plenty of great options.

Had an outstanding meal! Everything was delicious!! Wonderful preparation, fresh- must try!!

Food and service were perfect!
Enzo is the best!

We had dinner Friday evening and had a reservation outside which was perfect. Our pastas and salad were good as always. Biggest disappointment was our server. Took a long time to be greeted and get our drinks. He seemed to have several tables inside and we were an afterthought sitting outside. Took a long time for our dishes to be cleared when we finished and if we needed anything we had to flag him down as he raced by or he avoided us altogether. When it came time to pay, my husband had his credit card in his hand and our server literally stopped by and grabbed it out of his hand and said on his way I’ll get your check.
We live nearby and dine at Valenza frequently. We left very disappointed and not sure if we will return anytime soon.

It is ALWAYS A GREAT EXPERIENCE. REBECCA WAS OUR SERVER AND FANTASTIC. GRACIE AND MICHAEL ARE FUN IN THR BAR. HIGHLY RECOMMEND VALENZA AND THE ENTIRE THREE RESTAURANTS.

An excellent restaurant that is a regular choice for date night. This time I brought my daughter with me for her first visit. She thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service. Polpo (grilled octopus), tonight's dinner special (swordfish), and budino (rice pudding and gelato).

The food was incredible and the service was good! Always one of my favorite places to dine!

As usual, Valenza delivered on excellent food - especially the evening special, which was a real deal - perfect outdoor ambiance, and super-spectacular service. It's the best in Brookhaven.

I've been going to this restaurant for years and its always meet my expectations.

Awesome Dinner! Food was amazing! Can’t wait to get back here!

Always a great meal at Valenza. We'll be back again!

We went for our 15th wedding anniversary, I had not been to the restaurant before, my wife had. The food was good though lower than expectations. I wanted to support Mike Numeier’s Pink initiative (we are neighbors), ordered a pink drink and was very disappointed with the taste. Only finished 1/3 of it. The service lacked attention and I was surprised that no one mentioned it was our anniversary when that was noted on the reservation. I was also surprised to see a charge for the “bread service” on the bill. The $6 doesn’t bother me, but who charges for bread? The saving grace was the white chocolate bread pudding for desert, saved the night for my wife. Even that was not without a challenge though, another waiter brought it out without silverware, never came back and no other waitstaff could be found so we nabbed some off of another table. Overall a lack luster $130 meal. Had originally reserved a table at Haven for the evening and probably should have stuck with that.

It was good to be back at Valenza. We enjoyed eating outside in a very nice atmosphere.
The service was outstanding,. Food and wine were delicious.
We'll be back !

The outside seating was wonderful. Food fabulous. Very nice experience for a small birthday dinner. Highly recommend.

My party had a very good experience dining. From beginning to end the meal was amazing. Adam our server was great as well. We will definitely be back for another visit.

We were regulars at Valenza when we lived in Atlanta. We really looked forward to going back to Valenza on our recent visit there. The food was a bit of a disappointment although still very good. For example, the agnolotti was too salty. The squid ink pasta used to be noodles and is now some kind of small pasta, which made it less delicious, although still good. I would suggest they go back to previous recipes to ensure the high quality of the restaurant. Service was outstanding!

Our server was attentive and engaging. The food as always was excellent. First time I have been seated outside and the patio was enjoyable.

Really great food, service, and outdoor patio! Short rib pasta dish was to die for!

I used to live in Brookhaven and hadn’t been back for quite some time, so when I read about this restaurant I knew I wanted to try it. Everything was lovely, from the ambiance to the food. The cuisine is that of the Piedmont region of Italy, which is my favorite. We started with perfectly made Manhattans, followed by glasses of Nebbiolo Langhe, which were light and balanced. We shared the fritto misto, which was delicious, perfectly cooked and the fried capers added the perfect amount of briny saltiness to the seafood. For entrees, we shared the butternut squash ravioli and the pappardelle and there wasn’t a bite left between us. It was all so delicious. The weather was perfectly cool, as well, and the restaurant windows and doors were open to allow fresh breezes to flow through the inside dining room Since it was a full house, this made me feel better about the intimate spacing. The complimentary valet parking was nice, given the restaurant is located in a bustling enclave in Brookhaven. We will definitely return to this wonderful neighborhood restaurant.

We were first time diners and both the venue and the food were excellent. However, interior the tables did not appear to be compliant with distancing guidelines and we felt a bit uncomfortable. They also have outdoor seating but that was not available.

We had a reservation for 7:30 but got there early and got seated early. The staff checked up on us very often and was extremely nice. The food was excellent and came in pretty big proportions.

Great for outdoor dining and always a great fish special of the day available.

Very slow service

A great place to go to get out of the house for dinner.

Fabulous as always...we had our first date there 3 years ago and this was a return for our anniversary. We are also celebrating our engagement!

While we go there often, this was a special occasion and everything was really nice.

I am a little sad however, that you have to pay for the bread now instead of it coming ahead of the meal like it used to. We went ahead and paid for it, because I am obsessed with their sour dough and foccacia. The 'new' bread was still good, but did not seem the same as it used to be.

All in all, it is always a nice evening at Valenza.

Overall good experience.

Mary the waitress and Michael the bartender were great. High quality food and experience.

This restaurant never fails to deliver.
Sunday night family dinner is a great value.

Delicious food, nice ambiance, good service...would love to go again
