Valenza is a cozy, upscale Italian eatery in Brookhaven. It takes its name from a small village in the Piedmonte region of Northern Italy. Valenza is well known throughout the world for its artisan jewelry manufacturing which has earned it the nickname “city of gold”.

Executive Chef Matt Swickerath’s focus is on classic and modern cooking methods using fresh seasonal and local ingredients to create a classic Italian menu with an updated culinary touch. The menu features a variety of antipasti, pasta, risotto and Italian entrees. Valenza has the heart and spirit of a cozy and warm Italian village café in an upscale setting. The dining room features venetian plastered walls with rustic oak and pine woods. Experience the warmth and elegance of Valenza when dining under the antique European candle chandeliers.

Valenza is one of my "go-to" establishments in Brookhaven. The food is excellent: delectable home-made pastas, excellent appetizers and entrees cooked to perfection. Servers are friendly and helpful. The wine list has something for everyone and is priced reasonably. Cocktails rotate seasonally and the bar has something for everyone with skilled bartenders. Whether dining for business or just an evening out with family/friends, Valenza always seems to be the right place.

Really nice restaurant. Excellent service and good food. I am glad we were in the back area as it got too crowded in the main area and was far more noisy. Overall a great restaurant with really attentive hosts.
