Valerio's NEVER disappoints! Another excellent experience! We enjoyed his grilled cod, mussels and antipasto!

Great, high quality, interesting dishes. Great service and the most friendly waiter. Had the best Ossobuco ever. Kid had gnocchi and the time of their life. Would recommend.

I'm running out of wonderful things to say about Valerio's. It is our favorite Italian restaurant for good reason...the food is delicious, the staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient (especially Salvatore), and the service is excellent. It's the kind of place where you feel as if you are family!

We had a great dinner, wine and of course pastries. Valerio is a fantastic cook and I can see the passion when he comes out of the kitchen with a fabulous platters of pastas, platters of meats like lollipop lamb chops and bistecca alla fiorentina.. ❤️

Right smack in the middle of Little Italy lies this small little gem. It's small in size but big in flavors! Between 4 of us, we tried 4 appetizers (chicken livers, Carpaccio di Salmone, Braseola, insalata di Silvia), 3 main course (Oso Bucco, Cod, seafood risotto) - all of it was excellent. The end of the meal was topped off with house-made tiramasu and some kind of hazelnut torte/ice cream (I forgot the name of it), but it was excellent as well.Service was fast, efficient, friendly, and knowledgeable.And a live piano was a definite plus.Absolute fantastic experience.
Food very good but not great. Food served promptly. Service very attentive. A very comfortable environment but old looking. The restaurant was filled and it was very noisy. Prices a little high for the quality. There were many specials, it was difficult to make a judgement because they were presented by the waiter without prices. They would be better off printing a single sheet with the daily specials so the customer could make an educated decision.
We had never even heard of this place, but popped in on a whim. The food was so delicious! Our server was funny, kind, and accommodating. Definitely recommend! Drinks were just average.
Loved the wait staff, very cool old school vibes and the food was awesome. I'm vegan and found some things to eat, and my date is Omni and loved his food. Amazing wine as well

Superb food & service. Many chef's specials, mostly seafood, sounded delectable. Cioppino and stuffed rainbow trout dishes were outstanding. Staff split a large salad in two for us. White wine choices by the bottle are lacking which challenges pairing with seafood.
