    I’ve had the pleasure of dining at Valerio’s multiple times, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently delicious —each dish is prepared with attention to detail. The service is exceptional, too. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel at home. It’s clear they take pride in their work, which enhances the entire dining experience. Overall, dining at Valerio’s is always a pleasure. It’s the perfect spot for a casual dinner, special occasion, or whenever you just want to enjoy great food and warm hospitality. Highly recommend!

    We have come to Little Italy for years and for some reason, have never been here? Big mistake! This was an amazing experience! Our server was Salvatore and while he was a bit hard to understand, his accent made the experience much better as we had to ask him to clarify some special items. I let him select both of my red wines and they were fantastic. The Buffalo Mozzarella app was delicious. The salads and dressing were great. The bread, awesome and both of our meals were five star as well. Generous portions. We loved the small, intimate space and sound of others talking and sharing this experience. The bar area is very cool as well. Can’t wait to bring friends back and share the experience!

    The food was outstanding AND the service was exceptional! Authentic Italian recipes, excellent Manhattan, and good wine choices. It's a little cozy, so a little noisy but not bad.

    Very attentive wait staff. Wide selection of excellent food and wine. Our favorite place in Cleveland’s Little Italy. No problem in splitting entrees or getting half portions on pastas. Good for vegetarians too.
