Excellent pastas, meatballs, salad and soup. Quick efficient service. Nice setting with tables and booths. Full bar available.

This was my Aunt Mary’s favorite restaurant in Albany (Watervliet). She would say, “if an Italian restaurant can’t make chicken parmigiana, don’t go back.” Well folks, the chicken parm is unreal. Huge portions with a secret breading that they will not divulge! The prices are fair and the staff is warm and welcoming. Family owned since 1958. This is how you run a restaurant for 65 years. I can’t say enough. Nice job guys.

Excellent food as usual with enormous portions. Unfortunately, the restaurant was severely understaffed. Had to wait 30 minutes past our reservation time to get our table, and our waiter was being run ragged. Hopefully, this is just a temporary problem. The food is so good that I can easily overlook the staffing problem. Will definitely be back.

During a recent visit to Valentes we were disappointed. We arrived at 5:25 and were seated at a table in a very crowded area of the restaurant. Meanwhile, an entire dining room stood empty. It was difficult to hear yourself think. Our drink order was taken and delivered fairly quickly but then we sat for 30 minutes waiting to order our dinner. No bread came until we ordered and got our salads. The noise level was amazing and the space between the tables was ridiculous.

I ordered take out last night from Valentes. It was my first time ordering from them….lived in the Capital Region all of my life and somehow missed this gem! The food was beyond our expectations and was absolutely delicious, exactly what true Italian food should be. I honestly cannot wait to enjoy their food again. I wish I could put 10 stars!

First time there, came at the end of dinner rush. Not a long wait for service. Hot thotty was made perfectly. All the staff was courteous and patient and helpful. Clean, great food soft bread and cozy environment. Look forward to eating there again in the future. A Great experience perfect location handicap accessible. Old school chat and break bread restaurant not to many outlets in the dining area.

All I can say is WOW. My wife and I went there for my birthday. Started with wings and they must be the best I had in awhile. For dinner I had that lasagna and had to bring half home. Portions were big. I will definitely be going back again. I suggest making a reservation.

I have to say this is the worst chicken.parm that I have ever had, The chicken is tough and thick. The salad is old…the drinks are great and a friendly atmosphere but not worth the 32 dollars I paid

A great Italian restaurant that has been around for over 60 years. I had two thick pork chops that were excellent. It came with a soup or salad plus two more sides plus bread was put on the table. HUGE portions reasonably priced. I highly recommend. Heather our waitress was very busy, but did a fine job.
