   Excellent menu choices for almost everyone. Service is the best and personal. The family who run the restaurant are caring and dedicated to their patrons. Will return many times for their appetizers to their fresh desserts.

   My friends and I were quite disappointed with our dining experience at Trattoria Valona, especially given the excellent reviews we read ahead of our visit. Our server asked repeatedly if we were ready to order even though she could clearly tell we were not ready. She explained that she wanted to get our order in before the “rush”. However, there was no rush that we witnessed during our time there! I was hoping the Chicken Parmesan with spaghetti would be exemplary, but it was unremarkable at best! It reminded me of a frozen boxed entree. My friend’s Branzino was delicious and I regretted not ordering it. My other friend had the salmon which she said was good. We were merely trying to have a nice, relaxing meal and catch up with each other but instead it was rush, rush, rush even though there were plenty of open tables! Also, we were asked 5 different times if we were done with the -very bland tasting- truffle fries! UGH! No need to go back again.

   This family restaurant has gone from being a neighborhood gem to a destination place. We travel to come here. The food is tasty, nicely seasoned and very reasonable. The tables are a bit close together but that is outweighed by the food, attention to detail. Very good value. Will be back.

   What a neighborhood gem! Feeling so fortunate to have this wonderful trattoria in our “backyard.” The attention to detail is obvious in all their dishes! We enjoyed the seasonal salad with butternut squash and apples and then shared the Veal Osso Bucco and veal tortellini specials! Yum!! The Osso Bucco melted in our mouths n the veal tortellini complimented it perfectly! We CANNOT wait to dine again!! Thank you to our server, Victoria, and all the staff that made our experience memorable!
