I placed an order via DoorDash they gave the driver 2 of 5 items. DoorDash replaced the order for the missing things and when the Dasher arrived he was told that I picked the order up. Complete fabrication! $52.22 is what this establishment STOLE from me.

Valente's Restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with its exceptional food and welcoming service. The restaurant's simple, wood-toned decor creates a cozy, old-school Italian atmosphere that complements the family-run nature of the establishment.
The menu features a range of classic Italian dishes, including a popular pizza that customers describe as "like we would make at home, only better." The tortellini in tomato cream sauce is also a standout, with oversized cheese tortellini cooked to perfection in a flavorful, freshly made sauce. The chicken Anthony is highly recommended, with generous portions that often lead to leftovers. The bread served here is especially praised and considered to be to die for.
Dessert is a highlight, with the homemade butterscotch cheesecake receiving high praise from diners. Customers also enjoy dishes like shrimp parmigiana and Delmonico steak, which they find delicious. The owner, Christin, is known for being compassionate and calming, making the dining experience even more enjoyable.
Despite the restaurant's popularity, which often results in a small but relaxing dining room, the service remains excellent. Staff members such as Mel and Emery are attentive and go above and beyond to ensure a memorable visit. Valente's Restaurant is a hidden gem, offering delicious Italian fare in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.
