Trattoria Valona

We couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate our son’s first birthday! The food is always delicious and the staff is courteous and attentive. We’re very thankful to Trattoria Valona for making our son’s special day an even more wonderful one. We’ve always had an amazing experience at Trattoria Valona and it’s become one of our favorite restaurants, will definitely be back.

Dining at this place with former executive chef I am delivering this message from him to you and his opinion is that Leon’s passion for service, describing beautiful specials of the evening, his o owl edge of service and how to take care of customers deserve most stars and 5 is way below!

The place is charming and warm. Calming atmosphere with beautiful music on background.

Leon and his team provided us with exceptional dining experience.
Food well prepared, seasoned as authentic Italian should be.

We are pleased and definitely coming back!

P.S. Grilled octopus is must have!!! Best ever! Enjoy.

The food was spectacular! The service was even better! People are super friendly and kind. Split two entrees and both were fantastic. The Risotto with scallops and the seafood ravioli special were both excellent. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

I stumbled upon this hidden pocket of pasta because someone else’s scallop risotto review looked amazing and I was craving something new and Italian.

Loved the grilled octopus… and it comes with basil pesto?? I try grilled octopus at almost every Italian restaurant that has it, and I was impressed with the texture/flavor/aroma and the really nice plating. Also ended up getting the scallop risotto and the scallops were awesome - not HUGE but really tender and plump/bouncy.. so hard to get that texture. Rice mixed with asparagus had great mix of bite and creaminess. My plate looked pretty similar to the other reviewer’s so I appreciated their consistency.

Loved the quaint but unique decor. Sucks that I didn’t find out about this place until 6 months after moving to the area?? People need to review this place more to get the word out because it’s in a modest strip and easy to miss. Portions were middle of the road, not huge but perfect for me. (Prices reflect quality a little more than quantity, so I couldn’t gorge myself on everything like my Friday garbage can stomach would have done.) I also plan to try out a bunch of their other dishes soon. Agree with others it could be a cute/decent date night choice. Try it.

Always an amazing meal, my husband says this is the best veal chop he’s ever had! Definitely a hidden neighborhood gem to try. We love that it’s byob and the restaurant is spotless. Family owned and operated everything is made from scratch with love you can truly tell. One of our favorite places to go!
