Valbella, which since 1992 has been a celebratory place and a regular haunt for the locals who pack it most nights of the week both for its sumptuous food and its astonishing wine cellar, containing 1,450 selections and 16,000 bottles. Downstairs in the wine cellar is where many people hold private parties of various sizes,and what a splendidly beautiful room it is, done in polished wood, with a lovely fireplace, the tables impeccably set, the stemware thin, the temperature geared to the maintenance of the wine.Also an outstanding feature of the wine cellar is a heated granite table that can accommodate up to sixteen guests.

Wonderful to eat Italian where the chef realizes that Italian food is more than garlic. Loved the food and will be back soon.

Honestly, for the vibe, the food, and the value, I cannot believe this isn't the top of the list for high-end restaurants in the area. It's an absolute Gem. The owner walked around and checked in on every table—a super friendly fella. The only thing I'd add is that you have to vale your car, which if you're on a date is actually a huge net positive, which I was.

My friend and I both had the pulled pork sandwich, which was tender and delicious. The service was very good, and the price reasonable. The place was quiet for a lunch hour.
