Review Valle Cucina - Wilmington

Weekends may be busy, so plan ahead, and make a reservation. We decided to visit since it was mentioned as one of the best restaurants to dine in our area. Definitely enjoyed our visit and food was amazing.

If your looking for a great steak or a great Italian restaurant this is the place. Every time I go here they never fail to impress from the penne vodka pasta, the steaks, the crab cakes and literally everything else on the menu is amazing. I have yet to try anything here I haven’t been impressed by yesterday was the 9th or 10th time of me going since I’ve heard of the restaurant last year. This is by far my favorite restaurant to date for Italian food and steaks coming from a born and Italian. Also if this is your first time going here be sure to stop at the ice cream shop next door which I was told by our waitress is under the same ownership and get some delicious ice or if your life my a brownie sundae for me and the mrs to split. Not only do I give this restaurant 5 stars but I personally know it is my goto.

Never, ever had a meal here we didn’t like. We also have gotten large platters to-go for family functions. They are very accommodating. My mother loves chicken the Marsala and we got that for her bday party and it fed all 80+ people and still had some to take home.

Having heard a lot of great things we had very high expectations of the chicken parm. It was way overcooked and dry, parts were just inedible and there was hardly any cheese on it...overall a 1 star. It tasted like it had been sitting around and was reheated to order. There wasn't much chicken for the price either..The pasta...just eh..OK. The kids chicken and fries were good, as were their wings. We will not be in a rush to go back.

This was our first visit and I had the pescatore, wife had chicken maverick special and MIL had fettuccine Alfredo. The bread was hot and fresh and the garlic oil dipping sauce was great. My wife’s chicken dish was pretty good and my MIL said the Alfredo was good. The seafood in my dish was good and fresh but the pasta and sauce were bland - pretty much a tasteless red broth. It wasn’t bad tasting, just not really good either. I realize everyone has their own taste and some may really like the food but I’m not a fan and would avoid the pescatore.

I will be coming back for their pizza. The dough was amazing and I'm going well-done next time. I was in a large party of 10 and service was excellent!

It was a very nice Mother's Day luncheon. My first time here and I think it was great. From the staff the food and location we had a very nice time! Thank you

I have been going to this establishment for years with my family. I rant and rave about this place hence us coming for my boyfriend's birthday dinner on 3/6/2022 with a party of 4 (2 who have never been) + 1 baby and was unexpectedly made to feel uncomfortable by the staff due to my daughter being in a high chair that THEY placed at the end of the table. Mid-way through our meal, one of the many hosts that were doing nothing but standing around in the back of the restaurant told me that the manager requested that she come over and tell me that I had to move the high chair that they placed due to another reservation being sat next to us of a party of 3 (which was a lie - it was a really a party of 2) although we have sat in the same exact spot with a party of 6 + 1 baby with the high chair in the same exact spot & a party of 4 next to us, which I exclaimed to the hostess but she couldn't have been bothered. Again, this happened MID MEAL - its no small task rearranging a table that has plates & people eating mid meal. Not sure if this time we were treated any differently due to the party I was with being mixed with African Americans this time around but I have never been treated as such prior. Also, Nora, our waitress, was whispering with such hostess obviously about our table, making me feel even more uncomfortable and as if my daughter wasn't welcomed. I ended up not eating my meal and removing my daughter & myself from the establishment until the others were done their meal - I sat outside (thankfully it wasn't cold, otherwise we would have had to of sat in my car) but I am so disappointed and am questioning whether I will ever return to the establishment at this point and for sure will not be recommending any families with children to go.
