Since this restaurant is in our town, we have eaten here a few times, with coupons. The 2 times were totally different - the first time, my husband was asked what vegetable he wanted with his lasagna. The next time, he was told that vegetables don't come with the lasagna! When I said something to the young waiter, he told... More

Every Easter weekend, we take my aunt and uncle here on Saturday night to thank them for their hospitality while we stay with them for the weekend. The food is always delicious. We love the homemade bread and rolls and have to force ourselves not to over eat them before our main course arrives at the table. This time I... More

Atmosphere is great. Huge portions and delicious food. Salad bar is a nice plus. Delicious bread and rolls. I can't wait to go back again.

Anything with the red sauce is a winner. This time we tried something with Fussilli pasta. Unusual sauce that was fabulous. Wife said her Scampi was to die for.

Our reservation was for 7 PM- we were seated promptly - full house Saturday night. The salad bar included with all dinners was fresh and varied. Then we had to wait 90 MIUTES until entrees arrived. The waitress kept apologizing and offered us a free round of drinks. When dinner eventually came it was very good- Seafood Fra Diavolo and... More

It was my first time at the Villa Valenti and I couldn't have been more disappointed. I ordered the veal sorranto and it was nothing short of vile. When the meal was dropped off at the table, visually it looked like it had been under a heat lamp for days with a scoop of sauce thrown on it, some cheese... More

We've tried this restaurant at least a half dozen times over the past year and each time we go the food gets worse and the service gets less attentive. There are definitely regulars who frequent the place and servers often spend a good deal of time chatting with them vs. taking care of those they do not know/remember. The once... More
