I highly recommend this place! Had a great brunch on Easter Sunday with family and friends. They had an Easter bunny for the kids and even organized a mini Easter egg hunt. The service was excellent, and the food was amazing. I enjoyed the truffle burger with fries, while my wife loved her salmon with mash. We're definitely coming back soon.

My experience here was great! The manager, Paula, offered and maintained excellent service. She was super accommodating and attentive to our table even when it became busy.As for the environment-its a big and open-yet-cozy space. I have a feeling though when it gets busy especially with all of the tables, it can get loud if people are trying to have conversations. I would suggest combating this dynamic by playing calm music like jazz or a variant of this to keep people's dispositions calm and meek.The food was good! The bread appetizers can use more of a base like oil or butter to provide moisture. Otherwise you won't be disappointed. Now this isn't a Del Friscoes however for a nice casual day or night out this is a great spot to get good cuisine as a decent price. I'd say the price would be at least $20.00-$30.00 per person?Overall a great restaurant and staff. I wouldn't come here when it's busy unless they change the genre of music played.
My nephew and were very hungry.Decided to go to valdari in Queens.Order a personal margherita pizza to share and let me tell you, it's was delicious. For the dinner he order chicken parm with fettuccine. It was think kind, but I like it thick, and that was really good. I had a hamburger with mozzarella (ok not Italian) but to say that was also delicious. Atmosphere was dimly lit, but I didn't care, as long as the food was good.So if your in Bayside, look up Valdari.Off bell blvd.

The customer service was awful. Got there 40 minutes prior to closing and just wanted to grab some pizza.The bartender and kitchen staff was very annoyed that we came so late. There was slamming of utensils and shouting across the room to other staff members. I wasn't asked once if I needed anything while dining. When I was served, I asked for condiments and the bartender didn't even acknowledge but walked away. I was sitting there wondering if she heard and if I was going to receive the condiments. I understand they were getting ready to close but my bill was closed out prior to asking if I needed anything else.

Have been here twice and loved it both times! The shrimp appetizer, pasta, chicken all 10/10. Great service, great drinks and dessert, not to mention the bread they serve at the table! Definitely go hungry. Really enjoyed this spot and will be back!

Excellent quality food and presentation. The pizza and pasta are freshly made. The Osso Buco with polenta was a great dish and so was the spaghetti Bolognese (I asked for spaghetti instead of the fettuccine on the menu). The service was friendly and on point. The atmosphere is top notch. I've only been here once, but that will certainly be changing shortly with return visits.Parking: Valet parking and some street parking.
Very nice updated, upgraded place from an old time favorite of ours , Fiamma. Food was very good. Service was a but slow, and it was a Tuesday. Food reasonable, drinks Manhattan high.

was hoping for a good replacement to fiamma but this isn't it. pasta was handmade which was nice but just okay and slightly overcooked. they charge you the credit card processing fee for using a credit card which was a bit

Had a wonderful dinner for a friends birthday at Valdari's and everything was perfect.The service was fantastic, along with the drinks and food.This place has a very nice atmosphere for a group setting or date setting.Street parking is tough to find especially when the municipal parking lot is full so keep in mind but other than that, worth giving a shot!

Ambiance was nice and food was good! Our server was great but since we went on a Saturday night, wait time felt a little long to get served due to how busy it became. Overall, a 4 out of 5 star rating!

This storefront seems to be a revolving door but hopefully Valdari sticks. Standard Italian menu - pizza, pasta and some entrees. The decor is pretty standard for Bell Blvd., modern pub feel. Food is good too. The caeser salad was well done - dressed lightly and well balanced. Ossobucco was done very well and the polenta that came with it was great. Wife's steak was a disappointment - overcooked and a tad bland. Their bread was also fresh and tasty - must come back to try their pizza.Best part of our meal was most definitely the service. Our server was fantastic - friendly, honest (she told us which items were hit and miss) and incredibly attentive. Prices are reasonable. Would definitely come back.
