We dined at Valenza last Friday evening. When we got there, the staff promptly greeted us and sat us at a real nice table. We had reservations. The ambiance was nice, and the service was outstanding. The food was actually quite good. However, our experience was spoilt by the appetizer Fritto Misto, which had fried Cod, Shrimp, and Calamari. Unfortunately, this dish upset my wife's stomach resulting in a restless night of nausea and discomfort.

Chef Matt does an excellent job of consistency in all the food preparations. The season fave bean sald is outstandding along with the Beet Salad. Great Salmon and Red Snapper main courses. We always know that we will have a great experience at Valenza.

The food is a little over priced and the portions are quite small but tastes good so it is recommended for sure. During night this restaurant has a lot of people so try to make your reservation with time.P.D you have to pay for the Valet parking!

Really nice place with great service! We celebrated a birthday, and there must have been about 6 others doing the same. That says a lot about a place of u want to celebrate an occasion there!
We find ourselves coming back here over and over. A nice and cozy Italian restaurant that is both special and comfortable at the same time. Reasonably-priced, delicious food with familiar but delicately layered flavors. The pain (rosemary focaccia) starter is a must. We also love the butternut squash ravioli and the salmon.
The staff was kind to fulfill my request to have our group sat inside. Sat at the bar for a short time while our table was prepared for us. The bartenders couldn't have been more accommodating and pleasant. When we moved to our table, our waiter was perfectly present, yet left us space to visit. The halibut was exquisite! The spaghetti and meatballs were a heaping helping! Another pasta dish was simple perfection. We thoroughly enjoyed the apple tart, bread pudding and tiramisu for dessert. Hands down, dining at Valenza was a 5 star experience.

My husband and I came here last night for the Valentine’s Day dinner, and it was incredible. The food was so delicious - especially the Cappelletti. Our server, Kendall, was so great!! Love the atmosphere, thank

We came to Valenza for Valentine's Day and they provided a pre-fixed menu with the cost of $110/person for 3 courses. We thought that was a bit steep but we like eating at Valenza on non-event, non-holiday nights. The first course was really good with plentiful food components. The main course, however, was more like an appetizer. VERY small portions. Although the food was delicious, the serving size was incredibly small! What was the biggest surprise was the dessert. We both ordered the key lime tart. Combining the 2 servings still wouldn't have equaled a normal serving! Normally, we've been satisfied, both in food servings and value, with Valenza but we felt, on this visit, we felt bewildered and a bit cheated when the bill came. I would still recommend Valenza to a friend BUT I would caution them from eating there on holidays where there is a pre-fixed menu.

Went to Valenza for Valentines Day. Knew in advance the menu was fixed with multiple options for $110 per person. Wine was not included. The menu options were 4 selections each for appetizer, entre' and dessert. The food quality was excellent, however, for $110 pp, the portions were not worth the price. With a $60 bottle of wine, including tax and a fixed 20% tip, the total for two was $372. While the restaurant is generally very good, and the food quality is excellent, we just felt the meal for Valentines Day was over priced.
We were so disappointed in the Valentine's Dinner. The preset menu food was average, cold and clearly pre-prepared. The goal of quickly serving guests and getting ppl out was obvious. The automatic of 20% added for all dinners that night, including our dinner for 2 must've been the strategy for paying the extra servers who moved ppl in and out. Not an enjoyable evening. Overall my not ever go back as a result of this evenng

Great food and service. Enzo who has been there for as long as we have been going was great as usual. Specials were a bit pricy. 48 per person is a bit over the top for grouper and risotto. Better to go with pasta dishes or menu mains at those prices.

A wonderful experience,like the old days! The Value is not in pricing but the overall dinning experience. Worth the splurge! First date 16 years ago . Butternut squash ravioli, and the Facacia Bread was sooo yummy ? Thank You for keeping such high standards.k
We were seated at a table near the bar and it was very small and tight. We were surprised at how many young children were there on a Friday night at 8pm which took away from the experience, unfortunately. Food and service were wonderful!

We sat in outdoor space which was a little more quiet than indoors. Our server was attentive and accomodated our food preferences. The chicken, spaghetti and meatballs were delicious- hearty portions! We come here often and are not disappointed- we will be back!
