Absolutely, The food is very good and the service is great, especially if you get Barb as your server. She is very considerate, conscientious, friendly and kind. She goes out of her way for the customers. The restaurant is very clean and attractive. read more

If I could give negative stars, I would. I know this restaurant is located in Meadville, not NYCor Chicagobut do yourselves a favor and go elsewhere if you desire actual 'Italian' food, or anything resembling the traditional fare you'd expect to find. It's definitely not located here. Lackluster, well, everything. I don't think I have been more disappointed by what has been presented to me while dining. NOT RECOMMENDED. 0 STARS. read more

Not a very good meal. For an Italian joint, it was lackluster for wedding soup and pizza. The wedding soup had zero meatballs in it and was barely warm. Pizza was a thin crust and slightly chewy. Service was average with a long wait time for pre-meal bread. But when it did arrive it was somewhat warm and good. The setting could use an update and cleaning. The ceiling vents showed clear signs of old fans imprints and dirt. The prices would have been acceptable if the food matched. Wedge was made with a pita bread that was tough and difficult to cut with a knife. The insides were dry even with mayo. It also was barely above room temperature. Overall, I would look elsewhere for an Italian experience. read more

See all

The bread is so good ,it holds up very well.who ever makes the bread is doing it with a lot of love its perfect in every way

We didn't feel like cooking, and felt like Italian, so we went to Valenza. The fried ravioli was tasty, especially when dipped in the marinara it was served with it. My wife had the Italian platter - two stuffed shells, a manicotti, a large meatball and Italian sausage, topped with that delicious sauce. Her meal came with a fresh salad and a small loaf of bread. The bread was warm and delicious! My son and I each had a stromboli. He chose to have only pepperoni and cheese in his and was easily accommodated. I had mine with all the usual fillings. I had a medium, he had a large, and we both brought half home for lunch tomorrow! They were well prepared and tasty. Service was good, in pleasant surroundings. We'll be back! read more

Have ate here numerous times. I love their Pasta Fuji soup. I also love their bread. It is homemade and warm. It has a nice atmosphere. The staff are always friendly. My favourite is their lasagna. read more

I've always got good food here,I believe they just reopened I haven't been in for a few months. It's worth trying. The service wasn't great they were short handed but maybe not now.Nice looking but small . Over all I like going there ,I love the wedding soup and chicken salad! Sicilian Pizza is amazing! read more

Valenza Restaurant - This is a small Sicilian Deluxe...truly, as good as it looks! - Italian Near Me - Meadville, Pennsylvania

Pretty large menu with lots of options, definitely something here for everyone... but rather pricey. Pasta entrees do come with fresh baked bread, the bread is delicious! The pasta sauces on the other hand are rather bland. We've found that the pizza is pretty decent though. Wasn't impressed with the veggie pizza, as there was just random chunks of broccoli and cauliflower thrown onto the pizza. Would rather have the veggies chopped and spread out evenly. White sauce is good, along with the traditional red sauce... love the cheese blend they use. read more

Valenza Restaurant - Veggie Pizza - Italian Near Me - Meadville, Pennsylvania

We ordered 3 to go pasta entrees and a cheese pizza. Two of us ordered angel hair pasta with garlic & oil and added shrimp and mushrooms on one and shrimp and brocolli on the other - there was hardly any garlic and oil on them. The pasta was dry, I ended up pouring my Italian Wedding soup over my dry pasta to give it some flavor. There might have been 10 mushrooms on a large order, come on - put some mushrooms on the pasta - there cheap. Our 3rd buddy got the fettuccine alfredo - it too was dry. I dont think I can go back here, the people working there were great. read more

We ordered a 12" Italian sub with mayo to go. It was 16.00. They forgot the mayo. It was on their good bread but 16.00 is ridiculous.

We had a great dinners tonight. Portion size were large. Lasagna and stuffed shells. Decent price for these days and our service was quick and pleasant. It was getting full when we left at 6 pm. The potato bacon soup was wonderful. I got a take home qt. read more

Worst service ever waitress was the pits will not return Have always enjoyed the dining and service. read more

They obviously changed owners recently. Really noticed a drop off in quality and portion size. Waitress was very inexperienced.

Visiting family this past Christmas I was promised the best pizza ever. I had happily announced already that I already found the best pizza ever, but nevertheless off we went. Valenza is a small pizza and sub restaurant located a stone's throw from the movie theater. The decor is fairly typical for a small establishment - little square tables with little chairs and not much else. We ordered a pepperoni and cheese pizza. The service was fast and friendly, the pizza warm, and the price was low. The pizza, though, wasn't spectacular. They claim to have thin crust, but the crust was average and tasteless. There wasn't a spectacular amount of cheese, but they didn't really skimp either. The sauce was equally unremarkable. Really this was the most average pizza I have ever eaten. read more

We've had nothing but great experiences at Valenza. The food is excellent and the menu is vast. Service has been very good as well.

Great ! The staff was friendly and efficient. The lasagne was hot and very good. My wife and I will be making this our to go Italian restaurant. read more

Disappointing. I ordered take out chicken and broccoli Alfredo. The chicken was tasty. The pasta was very dry and sticky. The Alfredo sauce tasted like jarred and was very sparse. read more

I AM SO PUMPED these guys have a GFree crust now. Chicken Bacon Ranch has been off limits since we went GFree now we've had it two nights in a row. Margarita and Supreme, perfect. By the way, they beat Dominos in price too. They have great boli's, lasagna, wings. Locally owned and it is so good. read more

Was visiting from NY and stopped in for dinner. A very pleasant surprise! We had to wait for 10-15 minutes to get in at 6:00, but the wait time was accurately forecasted, and we were soon seated. Great service, warm bread on the table and a cold beer was a good start, but the food was the star of the show. We had tortellini in meat sauce, spaghetti and meatballs as well as a small pizza. All were really great, would eat here anytime! read more

Great food!!!! But bottles of Budweiser are $4.50. I get that it's not a bar it's a restaurant. But geez lol.all in all good place.

We have eaten here several times. The food and service are good. The seating is limited so go before 6:00 pm If you want to be seated quickly. If you have a group, 6 or more you probably will have to wait but not long. Because the restaurant is small, it can be a bit noisy. read more

Valenza Restaurant - people sitting at tables in a restaurant - Italian Near Me - Meadville, Pennsylvania

Have been eating here since I was a kid. They've always had great food and great service. Every bite is worth the price which isn't bad at all. The bread bowl salads are wonderful and the bowl is fresh. The rolls just melt in your mouth. Haven't had anything in the restaurant to eat that wasn't great. They make enough that most of the time I can't eat it all. read more

Awesome service and delicious food at great prices! Chiati wasn't bad, either. Our daughter started college here this week and we will definitely be back! The sauce was delicious and Randy was a friendly, fast, attentive server. And the fried cheesecake was sooo good! read more

A great restaurant and the portions are huge! Their Sicilian pizza is the best! Also every time we go there, the staff has always been wonderful! The sausage roll is amazing! read more

Great sauce. Spaghetti/meatball very good. Pricing good, too.

We live in Meadville and come here anytime we're in the mood for Italian. Their food and the service is wonderful! The Italian wedge is my favorite . The bathrooms have recently been redone and look great! The restaurant is small and the dining area isn't state of the art, however, it certainly is clean! I highly recommend Valenzas for a quiet romantic experience! read more

The restaurant all in all was pretty good only minor things gave me the reason for the stars, the ketchup isn't kept refrigerated, the tables are small and not fitting for four people. Our waiter was kind but really loud for a later night. That saying she brought our food fast and checked in on us a lot, paid attention to when our drinks were low as well. The food was very good and very filling read more

Very nice place eat. Casual dining. Alcohol available. Very good food. Reasonable prices.

After a long day of ridding in our van on the way to Canada we decided to stop here for a well needed meal after seeing a few good reviews on yelp we came here and man this place is great the place had a homely vibe to it and quite clean to add our waitress was very polite and the pizza was satisfying noted that they also sell subs, salads, pastas, and soups my only gripe was that the gnocchi Gorgonzola was too stuffed with cheese and needed a little more flavoring otherwise all the food our party had was spot-on read more

My wife and I wanted to have some Italian food so we pulled off of I-79 for about 9 miles and found this restaurant. Food was fine and the price was very reasonable. Jimd007 From Canada read more

Really like the taco and sicilian pizza. The place is authentic, and you really feel like you're getting a taste of Italy in Meadville. Great service and the best pizza i've had near Meadville read more

Was in the area for a week and people recommended I try this place. The ambiance and decor are not the fake kitchy-kind of Italian that Olive Garden peddles - this is a simple place that serves good food for reasonable prices. The service was excellent - my server was very nice and friendly. I ordered the special pasta, which was well cooked and wasn't too salty (a common Meadville problem). From beginning to end, everything was tasty and more importantly tasted as it should. And the portion sizes were immense, so come hungry. Overall a nice casual dining place to go have some simple but well made food with great service. read more

Cold soup, overlooked veal cutlet, tasteless pasta. Server brought soup salad and entree together.

Excellent food it's like getting food homemade food from Italy

One of our favorite restaurants. Good food, good service, and great value. I'd recommend it to anyone.

I had previously never sent a dish back, but I did at this restaurant. I'm pretty sure my piece of chicken was taken from the freezer to the microwave to my plate. It was so bad I'm surprised to read the other great reviews of this place. Maybe I ordered the wrong dish, but either way I doubt I would want to go back and try again. read more

Horrible! This is the third time I tried to eat at this restaurant and they screwed up my meal. We waited and hr for our meal and they burn the bread for my salad. I left without a meal. read more

Great sauce, huge portions and terrific staff. Not in the mood for pasta? Their subs and pizzas are great, too! And don't forget to try the ultimate chocolate cake - my 87 year old mother says it's " better than sex"! read more
