So good! Had the best experience at Vallozzi's. Delicious Italian food in a Mediterranean style restaurant. A full bar plus a dining room and private dining experiences! Our waiter was amazing, very friendly and helpful to navigate the menu. Everything we had was incredible. A huge standout- the bread pudding! So good and make sure to get it à la mode!! Can't wait to go back!

Vallozzi's was an interesting experience. I went alone this time and honestly had a pretty good visit. When I first walked in, I talked to the hostess for a minute and she was super sweet, kind, and very welcoming. I told her it was my first time there and that I wanted to sit at the bar and she told me I could just head over and grab a seat. Once I sat down, the bartender greeted me and I ordered a drink off the menu. I really enjoyed it. The ambience here is really cute and definitely a good date night spot or a place to catch up with friends. They have music playing which gives it a nice touch and makes the space feel warm. I ended up ordering a couple of apps. I got the meatballs and the Caesar salad. The meatballs had really good flavor, but I realized I am more of a small meatball girly. These were a bit thick for my taste, so I think I would have appreciated them being smaller. The Caesar salad was interesting because they added artichokes which made it a little sour. It was different but not bad, just something I was not expecting. I also got a glass of wine that I really enjoyed. Toward the end of the night, one of my friends came to meet me and he ordered the calamari. He said it was okay but a little more breaded than he would have preferred. Still, he enjoyed it overall. I definitely want to come back because I want to try their pizza and their pasta. Hopefully I will have an updated review coming soon.

Gnocchi

Had a wonderful Valentines dinner! We went on a Friday night before Valentine's Day and while the place was packed, it wasn't overly crowded. Our server was very nice and attentive. I started off with the Buratta appetizer, which was delicious. My husband got the Parma salad, but it was pretty bland and dry. He really didn't like it but ate it anyway . I got the rigatoni à la vodka and added some protein to it. The bread pudding was one of the best I've ever had.

Rigatoni Alla Vodka

Had a great experience here a few nights ago! The staff were hospitable and the food came out pretty fast for how busy it was. The Caprese Burrata was refreshing! The Rigatoni Alla Vodka was delicious but I thought the veggies (the green beans) were a little raw. I'd recommend getting the chili flakes on top! The spinach pizza was pretty great too! Overall a great experience and would come back! It was decorated nicely inside for Christmas :)

Beef Osso Buco

Restaurant was beautiful and very comfortable. Service was absolutely outstanding. From there it got kind of rocky. The drinks The grass is always greener and Who's that girl. She's zesty we're good. Beef Osso Buco came out barely warm. The flavor was good but cool. The polenta was cool and congealed already. Like they plated my food then started pounding the chicken for the Chicken Parm. The Chicken parm was very good. The Gnocchi short rib ragu was very dense. The ragu was very good. The meatball appetizer was very good.

Pretty stinking cool place. Especially for how they accomodated us on our trip. Two of our girls in the bach party were late; like 45 minutes late. And they let us keep our table and drink while we waited for them. Nicer restaurant to try for sure. Clean, staff was good, no issue at all. Not a 5 star simply because it was above average but not something that made me have it stand out above anything else. I will be back at some point.

Bread and oil

We came to Vallozzi's prior to attending a show at the Byham Theater. The restaurant is walking distance from any of the theaters in the Cultural District. The place has an upscale Italian feel. The service was excellent. Anthony did a great job taking care of our group. We started out with some bread with oil and butter. My brother had pesto spaghetti, his fiance had chicken parmesan. My wife had a Caesar Salad and I had the Bolognese. Everything we had was enjoyable.

Chicken parmesan and house focaccia bread

Went here for a late Valentine's day dinner. The service was amazing, Matt, was super friendly. He went the extra mile for a table next to us, that had a gluten allergy. The house focaccia bread came with ricotta cheese and olive oil type dip, it was delicious. The chicken parmesan was a super large portion but also delicious. It was a great ambiance, a little darker on the inside but incredibly enjoyable and relaxing. Definitely going to go to this spot again!

Swordfish with Brussel Sprouts. Fish was a little dry.

Made reservations before our show at the Benedum at 730. We had 530 reservations plenty of time to get to show. We started with the Arancini which was delicious. Main courses were mixed in reviews. Mine was the Veal Osso Buco, excellent and we had the Brussel Sprouts added rather than pasta. My daughter had the ribeye steak very nice as well the chicken saltimbocca. The fish my wife had was a bit dry not my first choice next time. Service was great, thanks David. Definitely will go again before another show downtown.

Friends and I reserved a table after an outing landing us there around 8:30pm in a Saturday night. The restaurant looked very elegant but not too stuffy, beautiful setup. We were seated upon arrival and was instantly greeted by our server Matt who made for a wonderful experience. He was friendly and personable while mainting a professional attitude with his extensive knowledge of the menu, both food and wines ! The lobster risotto , prosciutto plate , and filet mignon were phenomenal ! Unfortunetly the filet and strip steak came out way over the tempeture we asked for , but our server noticed it instantly and accommodated us with no hesitation. We left with full and completely satisfied . We will be back! Highly recommend !

Vallozzi's is a go to restaurant for us especially before we see a show. The entrance is very unique with the many plates on the wall signed by famous people. The restaurant opens at 5, which is when our reservation was. It was pouring out, so they let us in a couple minutes early and seated us exactly at 5. Our waiter was very kind, but a little distant during dinner. At some points our drinks were empty for an extended period of time. The appetizers we ordered were the Burrata board and Arancini. Both options were extremely tasty! For dinner, we ordered the Spaghetti and Meatballs, Gnocchi, Seafood Risotto, and Pappardelle Bolognese. I did not completely enjoy the gnocchi dish, but the bolognese was great! The scallops on the risotto were cooked absolutely perfectly. The espresso martini was great as well. As always, we will be back in the future!

Bread and deliciousness

Most artist, they present are new with a small fan base…read more Similar to the improv. I don't mind the small plates of appetizer type portions. I love the intimate concert vibe. Up close to an artist they may need that audience to feel comfortable with performing.

Avoid this restaurant. They make mistakes constantly on togo orders…read more On day one, I had ordered a bread pudding and paying for it. After waiting 30 minutes for it, they decide to come out and tell me that they are out of bread pudding. It would've been beneficial to know that prior to paying, however, they did not even offer a refund. Instead, they told me they would give me a tiramisu instead. On day two, I placed an order for a salad with a chicken skewer upcharge. Upon getting my order and opening the container, I saw that the skewer was not in there despite being charged $10 for it. The other items here at the restaurant were not good, and I do not recommend this as they don't want to make good quality food. Lobster ravioli is pretty dry and tough to chew. Tiramisu is missing that earthy coffee flavor. Chicken caprese says that it comes with fresh mozzarella, however, they only gave us small circle of cheese on one side of the sandwich (covers about 1/4 of the sandwich). Do not get the truffle fries, they are the exact same taste as the normal fries. Last, the crab and shrimp dip is highly inconsistent. The first day, it was good and actually had pieces of shrimp. The second day, zero shrimp. In the end, this restaurant has several deficiencies that they do not seem willing to resolve.
