Great experience as usual with dinner, had a delicious beet salad followed by a butternut squash ravioli and delicious saltimbocca. Dinner was great, service was spot on and in and out in about 45 minutes. Valet parking a plus for convenience. Always one of our go-to’s for a reason! Will be back again soon!

We make it to Valenza every month or two and always have a great experience. The pasta is exceptional and I usually enjoy their specials. Last night we tried the tiramisu for the first time and I regret knowing about that. It was so good! I feel like I will have to order it every time we return now. I asked and they said they make it fresh everyday. We always start with the bread, I think the focaccia is the best. Either way you won’t be disappointed!

The restaurant is small, dark and rather packed. I reserved a table, and they seated me in a nice, recessed booth. The noise level there was still above average. The service was good. The fritto misto was a generous portion - mostly calamari with two small shrimp and a tiny piece of cod. The dipping sauces were flavorful. The Caesar salad was average, and the white chocolate bread pudding was more like a slice of dense cake - a little crisp on top. I didn't taste any white chocolate flavor. The dark chocolate gelato that topped it was outstanding and tasted homemade. My partner had the butternut ravioli and said it was excellent. If I go back, I'll stick with just a pasta dish and gelato.

Food and service were excellent. We were a party of ten. Our server worked extremely well with our varying requests. She made great recommendations, all food was served promptly and at the same time. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Would dine here again.
