Della valle

I tried this spot to take my mother and daughter to dinner for Thanksgiving. What started as a pleasant experience ended up being frustrating, which detracted from the service.A family arrived about 25 minutes after we were seated. At the time, we started with some apps. We placed our entree choices. As we waited, the family seated next to us had apps, and then their food came out. My family and I were like, "Okay, ours should be coming shortly because we did put our order in. " 15 minutes of waiting on the food was awkward. Even the family glanced at us (feeling bad that they received their food before us).It's the fact that it wasn't acknowledged by the staff or owner/manager, and we had to sit there awkwardly, looking towards the kitchen, like, what just happened? It was eventually acknowledged after they brought the last plate, which took away from the dining experience.

A dinner plan with an acquaintance has been postponed, so driving home I stop here. Johnny the waiter/bartender greets me and I get a nice table upfront it's a comfortable cozy quiet, place and I can always find parking,, a big plus with me!Johnny asks me what I'll have to drink. I order the Primitivo. Johnny brings a tasting over and it's just perfect. Nice full/bodied red, with just a little kick at the end!!I ask him about soup, but I'm not into it. So I go with the burrata. It comes with delicious mozzarella, deliciously soft and fresh. Cherry tomatoes arugula salad and balsamic vinegar in olive oil. The real deal. The oil is high end and truly perfect Crostini bread nicely toasted. For dinner I forgo the chicken and opt for the fillet mignon! Medium rare please. It comes with asparagus, cherry tomatoes and more salad. Oh man just delicious, with another glass of wine!I remember a guy who was the bartender before COVID, so I text him and he responds right away. Brian was a great waiter/bartender. I send him a few pix and tell him that the place changed hands. He's blown away. We decide to meet next week before Thanksgiving! Look forward to reconnecting and seeing how his acting career is going!!When I first came in there was only a young guy with an older woman sitting down a few tables. At the bar was a young couple chatting it up with Johnny. By the time I ordered some ice cream the customers started coming in. Im glad because this place is a gem!!

Randomly showed up here with a party of six. Excellent food, service and beverages. The environment is lovely and the staff are great. Highly recommend.

The meal was terrific and the cocktails were terrific. Servers definitely showed some unnecessary attitude. Ambiance and vibe were super.

Someone recommended this spot on a local Facebook group and I have to thank them! What a gem! This is the most cozy little restaurant with a great cocktail menu, lots of specials, and friendly folks! We went for an early dinner and started with the cheese plate which was an amazing helping of cheese and bread, we couldn't even finish it as we knew we had 2 more dishes coming! We then tried the Duck Ragu which had warm and sweet winter spices, we will be coming back for this dish over and over again! Finally we split the short ribs which they were nice enough to serve on individual plates for us! The meat was so tender it fell right apart! Barely needed a knife! Next time we're leaving room for dessert because the menu looked so great!

Hope this place becomes better... *Food: Been here three times.... and it isn't for me. Pasta and appetizers are not that interesting and not that well done. Recently I was served a pasta dish with two anise pods and a bay leaf still buried in it. (I crunched down on the anise as it as hidden in sauce and had to spit it into my napkin! At least I could see the bay leaf).*Drinks: Cocktails were good on the one occasion I had some but took a very long time in an empty restaurant, all glasses of wine I've had have been fine*Service: All recent service has been great. Although I'm not sure there's great communication between everyone on the floor as on my last visit I was asked the same question about 4 times while eating!Generally a nice vibe in the place. Just wish the food was better!

Hearty Italian food with properly al dente noodles. The happy hour on weeknights is also wonderful. Love the rustic Italian decor, and the servers were lovely.

This was our second time dining at Della Valle. The food, drinks and service were excellent.

Food was really not that good. Do not plan to return. What can I say? The pesto tasted like some store-bought industrial pesto sauce. The salad was made of cheap greens and massive chunks of goat cheese. It was also underdressed and untossed. No care put into it whatsoever. When I go out to a restaurant I want the food to taste better than if I made it, and that's not a tall order. In this case it was not even close.

Definitely every single thing we ordered was terrible. It would do great as a bar but very disappointing. This review is 6 months over due so maybe something changed. Like the chef? I don't know who is leaving these great reviews here but honestly it wasn't my experience. Hardly ever busy n look at the paddock across the street, packed. That tells you something.
