"Valenza is an excellent restaurant located in a charming neighborhood of Brookhaven. The food is excellent with an interesting twist on things (e.g. butternut squash ravioli with a brown butter sauce flavored with sage and pecans) and the service is friendly and impeccable. Been there several times and will definitely go back."

"This place really surprised me in a pleasant way. The food was high quality and unique, the atmosphere was warm and friendly and the staff was magnificent. The waiter we had was the kind that replies to your wine order with "ooh, have you tried...?" I appreciate a good recommendation and he made several throughout the night. I highly recommend the spaghetti and meatballs and the blueberry crostata. I'll be going back soon for sure!"

"My wife and I have been going to Valenza since it opened. The food and service is outstanding. Chef Matt excels in a range of offerings from Italian comfort food to the best seafood dishes in the City. Owners Michael and Tanya always make you feel at home.
Valenza is our first choice for entertaining as it never fails."

"Had a great corner seat outside where we dined with another couple. The server was attentive but not overly intrusive. Food and drinks came out quickly. The beet salad was delicious and enough to share. I had the chicken ravioli and while it was good, I was still envious of my husbands spaghettini and veal meatballs. That is an entree that never disappoints at Valenza."

"You can count on Valenza for great food and service. We've been there a few times and have never been disappointed. Salads are creative, including fresh fava beans, cheeses, and delicious dressings. The fish selections are top notch, as are the chicken and pork dishes. The only negative is that it is quite noisy, but that seems to be the mode for most restaurants in Atlanta."

"Hi,

Our group visits different restaurants monthly since 2000! Therefore, we have much experience for comparisons.

Valenza was very comfortable, warm and inviting. They didn't make us wait for our entire party prior to seating, which is great.

The service was good and food tasty and interesting. I would return for other occasions."

"Service was surprisingly poor and food was inconsistent . Restaurant was half full for Mother's Day brunch and timing on delivery of 2nd and 3rd courses for every table in the place was very slow. Only 4 dishes to choose from for 2nd course and 2 choices for desert yet all tables sat empty for some time after first course. Waiters said the kitchen was having issues. Steak in Biatecca dish was very undercooked to the requested temperature."

"We took a guest to Valenza, our second visit. I had their rabbit again; very tasty, but small portion for cost. My husband had the spaghetti with meatballs. Very good, small portion. Our guest ordered the penne carbonara. It was supposed to have a type of Italian ham in it. The ham resembled bacon bits. I counted less than a dozen of these minuscule bits. Our guest was gracious, but I was embarrassed. If you don't want to be rushed through dinner, you have to make it clear that you want courses separated by a few minutes instead of the main course arriving prior to the completion of the salad/appetizer. it is small and cute, but is not traditional Italian dining. Sotto Sotto is true Italian dining though harder to find. I can't go back."

Review 14 for Valenza Restaurant

Overall rating

(Very Good) 4 / 5

"Had dinner w/ my college-age daughter, her bf, and roommate. Food was tasty, and although the portions were a bit small (raviolis and capellini w/ sauce) - we did leave full. Pasta tasted fresh-made (not sure if it was though). Bread was good. Salad w/ fava beans and other appetizers were very good. Desserts (bread pudding w/ ice cream) was tasty. It was packed and very noisy. Def need more sound attenuation. Waiter was nice. Brought my daughter her dessert w/ a candle on it and comped her dessert (it was her birthday). Very nice touch. Nice decor, and def appreciated the muted lighting and the candles. I hate bright lights while eating. Price was good. $125 for 4 peeps + tip (no booze). Overall, I'd recommend it. Nice place!"

"Though menu is a tad limited, and prices are high, the quality of the food is excellent. Like other diners, I wish they didn't rush us so much, though I understand the more tables they turn, the more money they make. Wine list is limited and the corkage fee is $20, higher than many other Atlanta restaurants. Caesar salad is good, but needs more anchovies; they graciously brought out more per request. Rabbit was superb. Spaghetti and meatballs very tasty, though portions are small. This is not the typical Italian style of dining where portions are plentiful and diners can take their time. As soon as the order is placed, out comes the food. Prefer Sotto Sotto to this for many reasons. That said, would go back."

"We celebrated our wedding anniversary at Valenza and could not have been happier with our selection. It was Monday night (1/2 price bottled wine!) and the dining rooom was not quite full when we arrived at 7:30. We were seated immediatley, wished a Happy Annivesary by the hostess and settled in. Service was very efficient, not overbearing or lacking but just right. Advice on dinner and wine selections were terriffic and the meal was delicious. I had the swordfish and my wife had the flounder special. The general manager stopped by just to ask how everything was. About 2/3 into our meal it felt like we had the room to ourselves. We were surprized with complimentary dessert of spumonte and cream. We'll be back here to try the pasta soon!"

"Food and service were both excellent. The restaurant was out of our wine selection, so they offered us a higher priced similar selection for the same price. Our server's recommendations were all excellent -- two specials (duck prosciutto appetizer and hake special -- we were told that various preparations of hake are a regular special and always excellent) and the papardelle. We also enjoyed the mussels for an appetizer. Very nice atmosphere."

"While Zagat gives this restaurant a '28', I'd give it a 23. The prices suggest a more upscale place, but the service and food or only adequate. Our waiter was new and did not know the menu, offered to decant but didn't pour after the first glass. The wines were a bit off...pinot noir was weak, Super Tuscan was not super, had to go to a $60 di Montepulciano. I had the rabbit, but was not impressed...too much sauce. Had a much wonderful dinner in Glenwood a couple days before.
Oh, and another thing I asked for a romantic, quiet table and got the one right next to the kitchen door."

"The food is ridiculously good, but the service is even better. It's always a treat to find a restaurant where the staff actually knows their wine. Josh KNOWS wine and his recommendations are always spot on. He is also the best server we've had in Atlanta in recent memory. When we dine at Valenza, we always request his section. Whomever manages the wait staff at Valenza really knows their stuff! We'll be back again and again."

"Because we had such a great meal on our first visit, my colleague and I decided to go back to Valenza for a second time. We were not disappointed, as the service was good, and the food was just as phenomenal as it was the first time. This is a great place and recommend to anyone who enjoys Italian cuisine."

"I went there for valentines, and was 15 minutes early, so they seated me right away. I thought we would have a drink and relax and go over the menu. Wrong, I was in and out of there in 1 hour. As soon as we ordered they brought the food right out.
Other than that the food was awesome, The waiter was very knowledgable and attentive,maybe too much. I would recommend this
resturant but not on a special day like valentine."
