We make it to Valenza every month or two and always have a great experience. The pasta is exceptional and I usually enjoy their specials. Last night we tried the tiramisu for the first time and I regret knowing about that. It was so good! I feel like I will have to order it every time we return now. I asked and they said they make it fresh everyday. We always start with the bread, I think the focaccia is the best. Either way you won’t be disappointed!
