They have officially decorated for Halloween - this place is so cute how they always decorate the bar area for the season. I was so impressed by their red sauce...I swear it has cinnamon or something in it that makes it so unique and delicious. Must try! Great spot to come for happy hour...Friday evenings they have music in the bar area that's an absolute delight to listen to. The stuffed banana peppers (made fresh daily) were some of the best I've ever had. Really love stopping in here and happy it's only a few minutes from our home - such a great spot and we are looking forward to coming in more as the weather gets colder for some truly delicious comfort food and great service. read more

What a great local find! We sat at the bar as there was live music. Actively busy restaurant, warm atmosphere. Decorated nicely for spring with lots of cherry blossoms. Bartender was friendly and attentive. The ricotta fritter appetizer was delicious- flavorful and light and the sauce was bright. The side salads were great portions -the homemade dressings really took them over the top- the Italian dressing was amazing! They offer homemade bread and oil and we got the classic Chicken Parmesan ( was huge) and Pork Shank - both were great! We will be back! read more

They canceled my reservation two days before Valentine's Day and left my fiancé and me with nowhere to go

Was pleasantly surprised that Valenti's had good Italian-American in an area where I didn't expect it. Miles better than any chain place, not very expensive, and the staff was a hoot. We felt like guests, not customers here. That's what you want. Seems like a great place for a drink, family, couples, date night... Approved. read more

Wow. Our server happened to be the owner. She was fun and kind. The sausage stuffed peppers were a great start. A little bit of spice, the sausage was tasty, and the sauce - don't even get me started on the sauce. I've been going to local Italian places the last few months one at a time. I like to make ky sauce from fresh tomatoes and ingredients. No paste, canned/jarred sauce, it's all authentic. The sauce at Valenti's is the only restaraunt sauce I've ever tasted that I'd consider using as a base for mine. Freaking great. Highly recommend. read more

Our Server, Tina D, was personable and attentive. All food and drinks were brought out quickly. Food was prepared fresh and served hot. Reservations are recommended since the restaurant is small but nice quiet atmosphere. Great value and Excellent Italian food. read more

Came for lunch and was the only person in the restaurant. Service was fast and attentive. The food was fresh you can tell that quality ingredients were used. The bread was served warm with olive oil. I've recently eaten at a very expensive upmarket restaurant and the food here is better. It would be great if there was music to sweeten the atmosphere but I understand there is live in the evening. Ordered several meals for takeout and looking forward to trying them with the family. read more

Went for birthday celebration. Food was wonderful. Should plan on making reservations.

We had a reservation (8 people) for Easter Brunch a 2 pm. The decoration was just the most amazing thing I've seen in a long time. They have spent a lot of time and effort on this. Just stunning. The food was good, for me it was kind of a bad time, it wasn't breakfast anymore, but it wasn't dinner yet either. There was a lot of breakfast food and a lot of dinner food on that buffet, and the best: all the desserts. Everything very tasty and well prepared. The table service for beverages was lacking a little bit, but I agree that they were very busy. But my husband never got his Diet Pepsi refill, I never got my second cup of coffee, although we had asked several times. When we were ready to leave one of the waitresses asked if everything was ok, and I told her, yes, but we never got our refills. She immediately brought my coffee, unfortunately a little too late. But otherwise everything was nice. read more

Great happy hour specials. Indoor dining, bar seating and a cute little patio. Not a bad thing on the menu and an authentic Italian family running the place. Attentive and knowledgeable server Tina was great. She made our experience a 10/10. She deserves to be employee of the month if that is a thing here. Nothing like great service in my opinion! read more

We made reservations for brunch at 10:30 today, 5/26/24. We just arrived at the restaurant to find it is closed. No signs posted that the restaurant is closed for the holiday, or opening later than normal business hours. After checking Facebook, and other social medias, again, there is nothing posted to indicate that Valenti's is closed today. This is such a disappointment considering we traveled out of town to visit family and were looking forward to their brunch experience. Our local family goes out to eat regularly and they have never been to Valenti's and we're looking forward to adding them to their rotation...I guess they lost out on new business. Consideration for keeping up to date business hours and not allowing for online reservations would be a good idea. At this time, I cannot recommend Valenti's . read more

Lovely evening at Valenti's. Dana provided wonderful service, making sure all of our needs were met. The meatballs and calamari both tasted wonderful. Out of our group of six, three had the special braised short ribs and all enjoyed. I went with lobster ravioli and savored this rich dish. Son & I shared the cupcake cannoli. We got the last one. Phew! Good reason to have dinner early. Others went with the triple layer chocolate raspberry cake, which was divine. Recommend sharing! read more

My quest for Northeast Ohio's best veal parmesan continues. Visited Valenti's for the first time last Wednesday. Located in a fairly generic strip center. When we walked in , we were met by the hostess who asked if we had a reservation....we did not. Not an issue as the we were the only ones in the dining room for a little while. The bar area was a different story. Every seat taken, a small combo was playing polka music and Italian standards. My wife and I are in our mid-sixties. We felt like the kids in the place. Service was prompt and friendly. Out waiter was probably new, but a nice enough kid who did a good job. Food was solid, portion size decent and came with excellent bread. Also had a Manhattan (very good) and a nice glass of Chianti. Dining room did fill up a little after we arrived. Decent enough experience. No real complaints, but no compelling reason to return. A solid, local spot that satisfies on most counts. read more

We visited on a Wednesday and were greeted with a singer when we first walked in- so nice to still see live music especially on a week day! We chose to eat outside which was very clean. Menu had tons of pasta options- even a pizza pasta which we unfortunately did not get. We enjoyed an appetizer, Caesar salad, and margarita pizza (all are posted below). Service was great, we had two waitresses frequently coming outside to check on us. read more

Tried Valenti's for the first time. No compelling reason to return. Service was miserably slow and our server had the personality of a rock. To her defense, it appeared she was serving quite a few tables. Maybe she was stressed. I thought the food was mediocre at best; it tasted like a frozen microwaveable meal. Big disappointment for a lot of $. Kathy T. read more

Back again, this time with friends as Valenti's is following all covid guidelines and so we feel safe dining here. The kitchen is back to normal operation and all menu items are available as well as some very unique specials. The Italian sushi appetizer was one of the specials. Prosciutto and cheese, sun dried tomatoes inside wrapped with risotto and a basil leaf. It was so delicious we ordered a second serving! They also offered a lobster claw martini appetizer which was like a ceviche, we didn't order it but it was a nice choice for a summer menu. For dinner they had a mojito seafood special (halibut or swordfish was available). Three of us ordered the halibut. It was served on a bed of risotto with a basil lime sauce. They used food science techniques to create little pellets of lime that you break and they season the fish. A perfect light dish for a summer evening. One friend had the other special which was Chicken Saltimbocca. I tried some, very tender and flavorful. Was happy to hear that the homemade cannoli where back, so of course we had to have some. Yes, they make their own shells and fill them to order so you get a nice crisp shell with wonderful filling. I was told that with covid, the kitchen has the time to be creative and it shows. They have really stepped up their game. read more

This is a great place for Happy Hour! We haven't been other than for that. It's usually an older crowd, and they have a nice sized bar.

Liked it a lot. Very cute restaurant with a nice bar and great menu of Italian favorites.

We planed a special occasion dinner at Valenti's. Made a reservation got a confirmation number and figured we were all set for a great meal and an enjoyable evening. Arrived twenty minutes early. There was no one at the desk to seat us. We waited fifteen minutes and still no one approached us. During this time several couples came in and just seated themselves. Finally my wife went to the bar and caught a lady to see what we had to do to get seated. At first she walked away them came back and my wife explained we had a six o'clock reservation. With a great deal of eye rolling and grumping she said she was coming. Ten minutes later she appeared with a tablet. She asked for the reservation info we gave it to her. After a bit she said we did not have a reservation. After showing her the confirmation she sorta looked perplexed and said even if we seat you we are short staffed and probably would not be able to serve you. This pretty much ruined the evening. I realize it is very hard running any business at this time but. There is no excuse for the way we were treated. If you choose to try this restaurant be prepared and have a back up plan. O read more

Valenti's Ristorante - This food is delicious - Italian Near Me - Broadview Heights, Ohio

Valenti's is an Italian restaurant. We showed up a little bit before 5pm and sat outside on the patio. There wasn't to many people there at this time but around 530pm it started to get more foot traffic. It's definitely a more classy restaurant and your attire should match however we felt comfortable and not out of place sitting on the patio. (We we're in jeans and T-shirt's). The waitress was the only one serving the area at the time and she did really well as all the tables started to fill up. We received our meals in a timely fashion. I got a tiramisu martini which was yum, can't say it reminded me of the dessert but I still really enjoyed it. The ricotta fritters are so good, definitely recommend those as an app. Hot, and delicious. I got the chicken piccata and my date got the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. We both enjoyed our meals. It's a nice Italian themed restaurant, lots of older folk stopping for happy hour which goes until 6. It appeared as if they were going to have some live music later in the evening. She thanked us for our patience and we left full and happy! Large open lot parking. The only thing they should do is offer the happy hour menu, not wait for someone to ask. read more

Best Italian food in the area. Would come again for their happy hours and dinners! One of my favorite drinks is the Chocolate Martini and to go with dinner is the eggplant parm! If you are heading there for just some drinks, the cheese board is huge and a great filler as well. Excellent service and would come back again :) read more

Valenti's Ristorante - Desserts are amazing! And the eggplant parmesana too. - Italian Near Me - Broadview Heights, Ohio

I love this place!! The food was amazing! Best meatballs I've ever had and the sauce they use is to die for!! Only issue I had was the customer from the waiter. Im very big on customer service. I used to be a waitress so I know how it goes. Good service equals good tip. It also determines how the customer will feel about the restaurant in all. We sat and waited for the waiter for 10+ minutes and they barely had customers. It took a while for the food but that was expected we did order a lot. The waiter brought the food however never asked if we needed anything else so it made me feel bad and needy to keep asking for water or something else. read more

This was our first time at Valenti's and only tried it because of the seating availability on Open Table. We booked outside patio seating and were not disappointed as the chairs were comfortable and the weather was perfect as the sunset during our visit. The service was very disappointing as the server failed to follow-up on several requests including holding the red onions on our wedge salad, bringing salt & pepper to the table (luckily my wife had small packets in her purse) and refilling our water (I went to the bar and asked for water). Both of our meals were well prepared and looked appealing but lacked flavor and seasoning. Overall, our experience was only memorable in a negative sense and we will not be back. read more

Great restaurant and great atmosphere I would recommend stopping in for dinner Food is very good and prices are very reasonable read more

Real good Italian cuisine! Pricey but when you think of what you spend at other chain crap food they knock it out of the park.

Formerly Oggi's Ristorante, Valenti's shares the same passion and quality of Carmela's kitchen. Your appetizers and food are still great, you get very good portions and the servers move quick. Not sure if they do takeout, I assume call in. It's small so the hours might be adjusted. Vibes are classy. Gotta love these small spots. read more

Had dinner here and loved the atmosphere , service and food. Meatball appetizer was excellent. Shrimp scampi was good and shrimp was cooked perfect. My personal preference would have been to add garlic to the sauce. Cannoli was quite nice ! read more

I really enjoyed this place! I like to take myself out on personal date nights after I make a blood donation. I wasn't feeling great and needed some food quickly. I was able to make a very fast reservation for 20 minutes later on their website. When l walked in the hostess (one of the family members of the owner) was sweet, warm, and welcoming. She made sure to give me a cute table on the patio since I was by myself. The wait staff was so nice and did a great job! The food was also great! The bread was hot and fresh. It was served with a delicious olive tapenade that I could've eaten by the spoonful !! So good! I chose the pappardelle bolognese, which was also scrumptious! The pasta was the perfect texture and the sauce was flavorful with plenty of meat. This was a great personal date and I will be back! Also, someone near me ordered the pizza and it looked so good! read more

Great martinis, they even have blue cheese olives. We ordered the calamari, lobster ravioli and shrimp scampi. Calamari was light and crispy. Delicious and fun presentation. The chef puts this julienned special radish garnish on top. Fun. Capped it of with a white sambuco with the appropriate 3 coffee beans. I brought home a tiramisu. They even present their take out pretty. Wait staff is the best. Live music was bonus. Dining tables are very spaced out right now. Can't wait to return. read more

Good service and good comfort food. Fresh bread with olive oil for dipping to start my meal. I chose chicken parm. No surprises- good food.

Chicken parmigiana, shrimp scampi, service, and drinks were great. Veal was tough. Didn't care for the diced olives served with bread.

We sat outside and it was charming like being in Europe, the food was delicious and unique and the service was excellent!

Outstanding food and service. We will definitely be back. We order four cheese ravioli and chicken Parmigiana. Fantastic! Salads delicious and plentiful Highly recommend read more
