Valenti's Italian restaurant & Pizzeria Sanford

Valenti’s is absolutely fantastic! They catered our wedding and it could not have been any better. Adam and Tracie are a pleasure to work with. Adam arrived at the venue and started setting up, we didn’t have to do much as they had it very well handled. They boxed up all the leftovers for us which was very convenient and easy for us to take home at the end of the night. The food was excellent, just as amazing as the day we sampled it. Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the pasta and bruschetta were, and the all time favorite amongst the guests were the tenderloin bites. The meat was exceptional quality and it’s very apparent that Valenti’s only uses the best and freshest ingredients. We cannot wait to be back at Valenti’s for date night, as their restaurant service an

Went here for the first time at lunch last Saturday. Hands down the best Italian in Sanford and one of the best we have tried in the Triangle region. We ordered the fried ravioli, chicken fettuccini alfredo, pasta milano, and a tiramisu and cannoli. The chicken in the dishes was cooked absolutely perfect, not dry and bursting with flavor. The pasta milano was out favorite but the fettuccini was really good too. Service was great. A little pricey for the area depending on what you get but definitely worth it. Valenti's is a breath of fresh air in a stale environment for decent food. Sanford needs more restaurant options of this caliber.

When I arrived, I thought to myself, “This place is beautiful!” The atmosphere here is wonderful, and the food and people are even better! Our waitress was Madison Key, and she was just absolutely amazing. I asked her for her name because I wanted to mention how great she was! She was so sweet and helpful, constantly checking up on our table. I ordered the Penne Rustica, which was delicious. The garlic rolls were also great as well as the Tuscan Italiano soup. I will definitely come back and eat here again if I am in the area!

Had a very remarkable first experience here. Every aspect of the lunch visit was perfect. After a bunch of bad experiences at other local restaurants, this was a refreshing change of pace. Very surprised I don't hear much about this place on Facebook or through the community. Cheyenne was a great server, from start to finish and the food and drinks (got the Italian margarita) were perfect. The place is clean and the atmosphere, even at 11 am and empty, is great. Definitely deserves more attention. Portions are perfect as well.

The people and food aren’t just great and authentic, but they are both genuine and you can feel the love there! Reminds me of being at my grandmothers house for dinner and we haven’t found a restaurant like this in quite a while!
