Spaghetti and Meatballs
Gina F.

They have officially decorated for Halloween - this place is so cute how they always decorate the bar area for the season. I was so impressed by their red sauce...I swear it has cinnamon or something in it that makes it so unique and delicious. Must try! Great spot to come for happy hour...Friday evenings they have music in the bar area that's an absolute delight to listen to. The stuffed banana peppers (made fresh daily) were some of the best I've ever had. Really love stopping in here and happy it's only a few minutes from our home - such a great spot and we are looking forward to coming in more as the weather gets colder for some truly delicious comfort food and great service.

Decorated bar

What a great local find! We sat at the bar as there was live music. Actively busy restaurant, warm atmosphere. Decorated nicely for spring with lots of cherry blossoms. Bartender was friendly and attentive. The ricotta fritter appetizer was delicious- flavorful and light and the sauce was bright. The side salads were great portions -the homemade dressings really took them over the top- the Italian dressing was amazing! They offer homemade bread and oil and we got the classic Chicken Parmesan ( was huge) and Pork Shank - both were great! We will be back!

Wow. Our server happened to be the owner. She was fun and kind. The sausage stuffed peppers were a great start. A little bit of spice, the sausage was tasty, and the sauce - don't even get me started on the sauce. I've been going to local Italian places the last few months one at a time. I like to make ky sauce from fresh tomatoes and ingredients. No paste, canned/jarred sauce, it's all authentic. The sauce at Valenti's is the only restaraunt sauce I've ever tasted that I'd consider using as a base for mine. Freaking great. Highly recommend.

We visited on a Wednesday and were greeted with a singer when we first walked in- so nice to still see live music especially on a week day! We chose to eat outside which was very clean. Menu had tons of pasta options- even a pizza pasta which we unfortunately did not get. We enjoyed an appetizer, Caesar salad, and margarita pizza (all are posted below). Service was great, we had two waitresses frequently coming outside to check on us.

Great traditional Italian restaurant!! Such a fun atmosphere with live music on a Saturday night. Devoured my bread, pasta and wine! We thoroughly enjoyed our meals.

Lobster ravioli - delicious!

Lovely evening at Valenti's. Dana provided wonderful service, making sure all of our needs were met. The meatballs and calamari both tasted wonderful. Out of our group of six, three had the special braised short ribs and all enjoyed. I went with lobster ravioli and savored this rich dish. Son & I shared the cupcake cannoli. We got the last one. Phew! Good reason to have dinner early. Others went with the triple layer chocolate raspberry cake, which was divine. Recommend sharing!

My quest for Northeast Ohio's best veal parmesan continues. Visited Valenti's for the first time last Wednesday. Located in a fairly generic strip center. When we walked in , we were met by the hostess who asked if we had a reservation....we did not. Not an issue as the we were the only ones in the dining room for a little while. The bar area was a different story. Every seat taken, a small combo was playing polka music and Italian standards. My wife and I are in our mid-sixties. We felt like the kids in the place. Service was prompt and friendly. Out waiter was probably new, but a nice enough kid who did a good job. Food was solid, portion size decent and came with excellent bread. Also had a Manhattan (very good) and a nice glass of Chianti. Dining room did fill up a little after we arrived. Decent enough experience. No real complaints, but no compelling reason to return. A solid, local spot that satisfies on most counts.

Breakfast wrap, would get again

Brunch was great, nice quite low key Sunday. Accommodated 7 people. They had one eggs Benedict left and my husband and I split it, was good too.

This is a great place for Happy Hour! We haven't been other than for that. It's usually an older crowd, and they have a nice sized bar.

Real good Italian cuisine! Pricey but when you think of what you spend at other chain crap food they knock it out of the park.

This restaurant offers absolutely the best French toast. I got the banana & bourbon caramel bread…read morepudding French toast ($16.50), and it was divine. What makes Scratch's French toast so good is that they don't use plain old white bread for it. Instead, they use sweet bread pudding, which makes for an utterly decadent and delicious breakfast. The pieces of bread pudding had crisp edges while being soft on the inside. They were topped with sliced bananas and a rich bourbon caramel sauce, and served with maple syrup infused whipped cream that was almost practically ice cream. The French toast also comes with your choice of sausage or pork belly. I opted for the sausage patties, which were tasty and homemade. I also ordered the orange juice ($4.50) and home fries ($3.75). The home fries were delicious. Crispy potato chunks that were the right amount of salty. Between the French toast and home fries, I left stuffed. Service was also great. My server was very friendly and welcoming, and came to check on me a couple of times. Notes - it's a small place with a couple of tables, but I was able to take a seat right away on a Friday morning. Every table comes with 2 bottles of hot sauce - a red sauce and green sauce. You pay at the cash register after you get your check.

I've been to Scratch in Independence a handful of times, but this is my first time finally writing…read morea review and it's well deserved because this place never disappoints. I met a friend for breakfast this morning, and everything from start to finish was spot on. I ordered the Sweet Jalapeño Sandwich: an English muffin piled with jam, bacon, an egg cooked over medium, and cheddar, served with home fries. It was the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and just a little kick. My friend stuck with her usual: the Banana & Bourbon Caramel Bread Pudding French Toast, topped with fresh bananas and their homemade bourbon caramel sauce, plus a side of pork belly. It looked incredible and, according to her, tasted just as good as it always does. We arrived just a few minutes after they opened at 8:00 and were seated right away. The service was friendly, attentive, and very prompt without feeling rushed. Scratch has such a great casual, local diner feel, but with a menu that's anything but ordinary. The portions are generous, the flavors are unique, and the quality is consistently excellent. Definitely a go-to spot for breakfast or brunch...you really can't go wrong here.
