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.

    Valbella is a beautiful restaurant located near 95 in Cos Cob (near Greenwich). We valet parked our car and was immediately asked if we would like a drink. They have specialty drinks, delicious Marinis, and an extensive wine list by the glass and bottle. My wife had a sparkling blueberry lemonade and I a Martini. Both very strong and quite good. For an appetizer we had the Carpaccio. The Carpaccio was very good but piled high with Arugula. If you love Arugula you will enjoy. I think Arugula has its place not sure if it should be piled high on Carpaccio. Then we both had the fish. Allison had the Bronzino and I had the Sword Fish special. Both were excellent. I do recommend Valbella just be aware you are paying for fine dining. Overall I do recommend this restaurant.
