Our absolute favorite neighborhood special treat! Our evening was epic - cocktails, wine, appetizers, main and dessert! The whole evening exceeds all expectations and is consistently our favorite going out treat. We were celebrating a birthday and had out of towners from Philadelphia and Chicago (known foodie towns) and they were very impressed with Valenza! Thank you to the whole team who created and curted a wonderful night out!

Had a very nice date night outside in the covered patio. The wine and food were exceptional as was our waiter from Chile. Not usually ones to go for dessert, we simply had to try the bread pudding with chocolate gelato and Cappucinos with Baileys. They were a great way to top off a wonderful evening. A most excellent dining experience for sure!
