    This restaurant offers pretty good pizzas. However, the rest of the menu items are unremarkable at best. For example, their Caprese salad came with a harder cheese that we couldn’t identify and thin small slices of tomato. The service is also average.

    Loved the festive atmosphere for Easter. Live music and the Easter bunny. Food was good ; my eggplant parm was too crispy but good.

    Valdari is lovely. The restaurant is clean and lively with a very pleasant staff. We had octopus and meatball (delicious) appetizers and tasty main courses. We will be back.

    Date night with hubby and had a nice surprise when we arrived. There was live music! A very busy night but waitress was pretty attentive. Very loud in there though so you had to talk loud to hear each other. Octopus appetizer was delicious! We also had the tartufo pizza and parpadelle pasta. All delicious. For drinks we had The Godfather and a summer cocktail. Very good! We’ll be back!

    We dined on a Thursday night and there was only one other table occupied. There were 3 employees standing around looking at videos and laughing. We were approached after 10 minutes for a drink order. We waited another 15 minutes to place our dinner order which took 30 minutes to arrive.

    We were excited to have dinner here since the menu online looked good. Since it was Valentine’s Day we were forced to get a $70 pre-fixed menu per person. Nobody told us at the entrance that it was the only choice and got surprised with it at the table. After waiting for 15 minutes for water I had to ask the food runner for it since the server never showed up to say hello. He came to our table 15 minutes after just to take our order and never came back to check on our food or drinks. The appetizers were delicious, the main courses were not great. The stake and the burger were overcooked. The desserts were the worst part of the meal, they had no flavor. The entire experience was bad, they basically took our money and provided a poor dinner and a terrible service. I don’t recommend this place for holidays, they will take your money and offer mediocre service to charge you a service charge at the end even if the experience was bad.
