Valley in St. Catharines

We enjoyed a lovely dinner for our first visit at Valley and we really enjoyed it. Super friendly service that was genuine. The only thing I was disappointed in was the scarce flaking of truffle on my meal of Tortelloni ai Funghi in Italy, the truffle is weighed during the shaving before being added to the food I understand the value of that now ;)

We love this restaurant. Tonight was just off. Really disappointed in the service. We were there to celebrate a special occasion. The biggest let down was the simple the things this restaurant normally does so well. We were not offered any bread or limoncello which add to the experience yet every table around us was. Just felt like it was a regular restaurant tonight. Not sure we ll be back.

Wonderful food, unbelievable service, and great atmosphere. Just a great experience.

Very delicious food and professional service! I really enjoyed trying the calamari, seafood with squid ink pasta, the stuffed chicken and scallop risotto. The cheesecake was amazing too.

I had a wonderful time very peaceful highly recommended

Work Christmas party, wait staff was very attentive. Food took a while to arrive, but did all come at same time (16 ppl). Generous portions, especially the desert options. Parking is a bit of an issue, especially on a busy nite. Will definately go back.

Great service and the food was awesome. Will definitely be back Parking: Gluten free on the menu Food : 5/5 |

This was our first time dining at Valley and it was fantastic! From the cozy atmosphere to the delicious food! The service was great and very attentive. We will be back!

Excellent service.

Nice restaurant and good vibes, but I was disappointed with the food. I ordered a ravioli dish and it only came with 5 or 6 small pieces. I wish my server gave me a heads up about the small portion size because I would have ordered a full meal instead. Maybe best to avoid the stuffed pasta options if your hungry, it was appetizer at most, but in the entrée section of the menu and priced in line with other entrees.

Absolutely delicious food! Great atmosphere and our waitress was very nice. Would absolutely go back

Great place worth a visit the food was traditional Italian and was fairly priced . I recommend checking it out

We had heard nothing but good things about this restaurant and decided to try it for a birthday. It was not the same experience others claimed they had. It was not physically accessible, very hard to maneuver a wheelchair in and out, very small dining spaces. Everyone waiting in the entrance had to leave the restaurant so that we could struggle to exit. The service was extremely slow. We got drinks after 30 min, our app order was taken 30 min after that (1hour from sit down) and then 30 min after that bread came, finally over 2 hours after sitting down we got our dinner - which came cold. When asking our waitress to take our dinner order she took the order of two tables that arrived after us before taking ours. Our waitress was nowhere to be found, our table was not checked on. The duck pasta was very fresh and we felt we didnt even have time to complain because we were now in a rush to get home for plans we postponed. We couldnt enjoy the birthday dessert because the dinner took exceptionally long. It put a damper on the whole evening and for the price is was most definitely not worth it.

Aesthetic, delicious and cozy. Absolutely loved it! Food

Every time I drive by St. Catharines, I make a stop at the Valley for dinner. The food is amazing, the pasta is fresh, and the affrogato for dessert is the best thing to end the night.

The chocolate peanut butter gelato was so good I could die. Service was excellent as well! Would return :)

We hadnt been here in a while and were looking forward to some really good Italian food....so sorry disappointed. I ordered chicken parm, sauce was bitter, pasta chewy and hard, didnt even eat the meal. The best part was they comped the pasta and gave us a gift certificate for $25, problem is we wont go back :( Side note: Noise level awful

I had a great experience, food was perfectly served and cooked. Makenzie was an amazing friendly server. Food was reasonably priced. I will definitely go back again. There were only one negative situation occurred, the female server who moved us from one table to another better spot upon my request came saying I found you a better place bring your menus with you. I dont think that was professional behavior. Its not nice to walk in between tables holding my menu. Anyways it didnt ruin my night. Thank you guys for the good time.

Was really excited to try this place. Cool vibe inside, our server was nice but rarely showed up at our table, multiple people waiting for drinks throughout dinner. Food was really underwhelming though, looked good but didnt have any flavor other than the boar ragu. Would try again though, maybe it was an off night

This was our first visit to The Valley. It came highly recommended by many. Being of Italian nationality and growing up the same, I have become very critical of Italian cuisine. Nothing is better than Mammas or Nonnas! I always shyed away from Italian restaurants, because it was never the same as home. In fact, far from it in many cases. Except in the case of The Valley. Truly exceptional! If you have never been, give it a try, you wont regret it. Reservations are a must....Enjoy! Parking: Dont get there too early of your reservations as parking is somewhat limited...but well worth the wait.

We dined here last night and loved it. This is a very tastefully decorated place and the staff were amazing. We were celebrating our anniversary and they really made it special for us. I forget our servers name but he was great and we really enjoyed our dinner. We would absolutely recommend.

Went at lunch for my wifes birthday, wonderful experience. Caesar salad was authentic, delicious and large. Lemon/shrimp fettucine was tasty, lasagne was delish, chocolate torte decadent! Our server, Letitia was awesome, so friendly and welcoming.

Enjoyable night with friends at the Valley. The foods were great and the atmosphere was warmth and cozy. Overall experience is great. Duc & Lanh.

Only real good spot to eat at a family run higher end restaurant.

Cant say enough about this excellent restaurant. Food is absolutely delicious, Outstanding service and very special atmosphere.

Its one of the best Italian restaurants you will find. Great food, great value.

From the get go, the service at the Valley Restaurant was near perfect. We choose to eat outside and the staff brought an extra comfortable chair for my elderly grandfather. Once we expressed that we have dietary restrictions as Muslims, then they brought the Muslim chef to discuss the menu and prepare special dishes for each member of my family. I was very impressed by this. Also, the owner and manager of the restaurant came multiple times during the meal to check how we were doing. The food was all homemade in the restaurant and tasted superb. Overall, it was some of the best Italian food I ve had. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice and felt that everything was well thought out for a pleasant vibe. The washroom used soft hand towels which are environmentally conscious and washable. They also had very cute old menus from when the restaurant was founded as things to look at. I would definitely love to dine here again. Vegetarian options: The menu had clearly labelled vegetarian options Dietary restrictions: The staff are exceptionally friendly and bend over backwards to accommodate your dietary needs. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a single step to enter the restaurant, but it has a wheelchair accessible ramp to accommodate those with motor impairments.

Service was great food was good but cold patio where we eat was dirty all tables and chairs are about 3 inches out of level like they don t care and cheap white chairs was terrible atmosphere for what you pay there was zero effort in building outside patio the worst we ever seen

My first time trying the restaurant and it was fantastic! I made a fairly last minute reservation and was able to get a table (surprisingly based on what I ve heard from other people) Unfortunately the parking lot was full, however, there was a fair amount of parking down the street so it wasn t an issue. We were greeted with a lovely atmosphere with dimmed lighting and pleasant music. Our waitress was friendly and prompt with everything we requested. The antipasto was great! Lots of assorted meats, cheeses, nuts, olives and other stuff. My fiancee had the Linguine di Zucca and said it was one of the best things she s ever eaten. My Piatto Italian was also lovely as expected! Thanks for such a wonderful experience :)

Lovely little Italian restaurant that we were taken to by our friends where they had their first date years ago and they keep going back because the food is so good

while service was proper, the place and particularly food is overrated. not a classy place anylonger.

Leah was welcoming and took great care of us. Great experience for my dad s birthday.

Was here today for my anniversary !! Was fabulous!! A complete 10 out of 10 !!! We will most defiantly back hospitality was amazing food was spectacular , had a lovely Italian atmosphere with the music ! Loved the little touches , sign that says happy anniversary , Lemon cello at the end of your dinner, and a happy anniversary dessert !

Incredible dining

Booked a table for 8pm. Arrived on time, told the table wasn t ready and were left standing in the parking lot until 8:30pm which was very disappointing. It was a beautiful evening, why not put some seats out and let people get a drink while they wait? Received a bruschetta as compensation which was appreciated but could have been avoided. Food was good. Our server was fantastic throughout - very pleasant, didn t rush us, etc. Will probably return. Parking: They ve a decent lot but it was jammed. Easy enough to find parking on streets nearby though.

The is by far the BEST Restaurant in Ontario When we come to the Niagara area we have to come to diner here. The food, the drinks are AMAZING We always have great service!

If you re looking to be spoiled, you have found the right place.

Wonderful! Stopped on the way home from The Georgian Bay. The homemade pasta was delicious! We highly recommend this very friendly and wonderful restaurant! Food

In a word: WOW! Our waitress Frish was attentive and provided impeccable service. The menu selection was impressive. The quality of the food was incredible. What a great discovery. My only disappointment is that I discovered this gem of a restaurant during a getaway so it is too far from home. I highly recommend.

Our dining experience this evening was superb. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was wonderful and our server Andrew was amazing. He provided first class dive star service throughout the evening. The Valley is magnificent. You will be treated to a superb dining experience. Thank you for a fantastic evening.

Went with a group of friends for birthday celebration. Our server, Eden, was a true delight. Excellent service and recommendations, and indulging us in joining our silly dinner time conversation. Cocktails were good, very nice specials, and the ambiance was relaxed. The homemade pasta was phenomenal for everyone at our table, and the roasted garlic/goat cheese appetizer was a table favourite. It does have a small parking lot, but we were able to find street parking nearby.

Absolutely delightful Italian restaurant in North St Catharines away from the downtown area hard to get reservations but well worth it when you do

Fantastic service and delicious food! The portions are quite large, great value!

First time. Came highly recommended. Cute patio. Interior of restaurant is also quite nice with separate dining areas. Our server was very attentive and extremely friendly. The food was excellent. Definite return.

My family and I went there on vacation and wanted to try something different while visiting the area. This restaurant, the food and service were all amazing. I defenitly recommend!!

We celebrated my fiancés birthday at valley restaurant, it was absolutely amazing. The homemade calamari is to die for, and it doesn t stop there every dish we had was top notch. The veal Parmesan was out of this world, next to the homemade fettuccine. To finish the night they give you a complementary Limoncello shot. Thank you so much for the great meal!!!

A fantastic place to get excellent Italian cuisine a short drive from Niagara Falls. 1000% recommended.

Great place.

This restaurant are amazing, the food is excellent

Ok, Just for clarity here, we are not affiliated to this establishment in any way. Just very fortunate to live locally. So If I may, (as many of you folks might have been), I/we (my wife and I) have been very fortunate to eat in many a fine restaurant around the world . In particular when visiting Italy from the UK (previous life) sampled a good many restaurants. The experience at Valley is for me, is up there in the top ten of all the many fine restaurants that exist right now, period. Nadia and Allan craft just fantastic dishes and the care and passion shine through. Our last visit yesterday lunchtime was off the charts! We were very well served by the lovely Eden. Very attentive but just the right amount of customer involvement, she is a star. Bottom line , if you are fortunate to be visiting /living near ,I am certain you will be absolutely impressed and so glad you made time to try this truly superb restaurant out.

Food was excellent. Homemade pasta, bread etc Great service and recommendations from Pam. Kudos to Nadia the owner and chef and the whole team. We definitely would return and highly recommend to others. Small and intimate restaurant. Get there early for the restaurant is small, it gets very busy around 5:30pm and parking is limited.

Im not sure if this restaurant has changed ownership but man were we disappointed. This place has been our favorite for quite some time that is why we reserved dinner reservations for a very special grad night. The server was amazing but my son found plastic in the rice balls, yuck! The calamari was mediocre, the pasta was not what it used to be and the fish was good not great. We told the waitress about the plastic and gave her the piece, not the owner or the manager came to apologize. We ate. We paid. We left. We wont be back.

The indoor atmosphere, service and food were great. Unfortunately, we made our reservation via Open Table and they were for outdoor. This is the first time I experienced this without being specifically asked. I cant imagine anyone choosing this option since you dont know what the weather will be like. I definitely do not recommend the outdoor seating.

Very good food, excellent starter salads, fresh pasta. Smoked duck and fettuccine ravioli with mushrooms and Italian sausage. In a wine-growing region the glassware was not up to standard. Glasses of low-end wine and limoncello served free at the end of the meal (but in plastic glasses). Peaceful environment. I recommend without hesitation

Best meal we had while visiting Canada. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Loved everything about our visit.

Amazing food, great atmosphere and friendly, with fresh made pasta Dietary restrictions: They ask about allergies before taking your order and have a Gluten-free options Food : 5/5 |

My husband and I tried to dine in at The Valley last year when visiting St Catherine s but got take out as it was raining and we had our dog in tow. Takeout was so amazing that we visited again while in the area. As luck would have it, we had rain again but decided to stick it out on the patio with our dog. The service was really outstanding, all the people we interacted with went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We ordered the lobster stuffed mushrooms and a Cesar salad to share, then gorgonzola gnocchi and the boar pappardelle . All were delicious. When it started to rain hard, one of the women set up a small Table for us under the front awning so we could enjoy our entrees without getting soaked! We Really appreciated how outstanding the team is and will definitely be back when we visit the area again! Tip: the chocolate torte is sublime!

Food,atmosphere and service was excellent! All food is home made in house! Near Lake Ontario great to go for a walk to burn off dinner!

way too expensive for what it really is with very small portions, also, urinal in men s washroom was out of order lol, if you are going to charge 30-40 dollar dishes at least have the washrooms on point, really a shame for a high end restaurant. please avoid, if you are going to spend 40+ per person go to the keg or something that is actually high end. also parking is horrible. only good thing is the service.

I just moved in down the street, and since that first day so many folks have asked me if I had yet been to the Valley. A few months later, and a friend was in town from Toronto, so we strolled down for dinner. Without a doubt this was an incredible meal - the pasta is all handmade, everything is made to order and every bite was delicious. I had ravioli, my friend had risotto, and we shared a meatball as a side. I always judge a place by its meatball and the Valley knocks it out of the park. Every bite was delicious. The service was so great Amanda clearly enjoys her work and laughed with us throughout the evening. I will definitely be back!!!

WOW! My Go To Place For Italian From Now On. Everything is homemade at location. Beautiful setup with true Italian service. Priced well. Paid half of what I would pay in the Falls for twice the quality and service.

Best Italian food ever

My short rib melted off the bone. 3 for supper felt intimate with the partitions.

Nice vineyard to eat pizzas and wine

This was our first time to The Valley Restaurant and loved it. The server Frish was awesome, attentive without being overwhelming, friendly and good spirited. The food was amazing you got to try the tomato parm soup. Delicious Food

Good atmosphere. Great food and great staff!

Fantastic selection of fantastic food.

Amazing food and staff! You must try them! Food

Horrible parking, waited half hour and was told that a table was available outside in the heat wave humidity or to come back in an hour 8:30 pm? I was not impressed.....bad timing on my part....wont be back as I thought the hostess could have tried harder to place me inside.... Service

Fantastic Italian restaurant! Excellent menu options and good service. I definitely recommend this place.

Venas is a great cook

The food, service, and atmosphere were excellent. The tortolloni was incredible. The best Ive ever had and I have eaten all over Italy. A very authentic Italian experience.

Excellent food and top notch service. Would recommend for a special occasion. Can t wait to go back. Food : 5/5

Valley is and always will be my absolute favourite restaurant. We come here for every single birthday, anniversary or any occasion to give me an excuse to have their gnocchi. It is literally the best food I have ever eaten and nothing will compare to it. The staff are incredible and the owner is the sweetest and very involved with the staff which is amazing to see. You can tell they really care about their staff and customers and it really shows in not only the quality of the food but the whole experience in general. Businesses, take note because this is how you create returning customers. **You have to get the gnocchi if you like cheese, you will never eat anything like it in your life.

The food was fantastic and so was the service. My only complaint is that it was hard to find parking spot, and it was pretty tight place. Tables were close together you can literally hear everyone s conversation. But I would 100% recommend it :)

Love the Valley. Home-made pasta, and breads. Excellent friendly service. Never been disappointed.

This was my second time to the Valley, after a fantastic first experience. Tonight I ordered the risotto-duck breast feature and I was very underwhelmed. The duck looked and taste like a piece of ham; cooked over the fire camping. The risotto was good but I would never get the duck again.

There was absolutely nothing to complain about, service was outstanding food was absolutely delicious. Will always recommend this restaurant

The Gnocchi Gorgonzola is to die for!! Amanda was an awesome hostess. Definitely coming back! Highly recommend for anyone that loves Italian cuisine

We had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable Italian feast at Valley Restaurant in St. Catherine! Their commitment to quality and service shines through every bite, making each dish truly divine. Their kindness and attention to detail served as a reminder as to how hospitality and culinary excellence should look. 5/5

Love this little and intimate out of the way place, a 70 year old establishment. Parking: 20 + spots, approximately

Best experience Ive had at a restaurant in a very long time. The service is professional and classy without feeling pretentious. Everything was delicious but the standout was the duck ravioli. It was my partners birthday, and we were given complimentary limoncello to go along with our dessert. Id argue that this is the best traditional Italian place in Niagara, hands down.

Lovely place with lovely staff and delicious food. What more can you ask for? Would recommend.

Wish I could give 6 stars for service, the waitress was so lovely and managed to talk to my mom and answer all her questions, even passing on some questions to the chef while juggling everything else so well, and even brought us an anniversary (my parents, for the record) dessert and limoncellos. The pollo ripieno was phenomenal, and the mushroom risotto and green bean sides were great to match. Not overpriced either. The whole experience was just so nice.

The food is delectable and finger licking delicious. Love coming here.

Lovely atmosphere, wonderful service and Delicious unique meal. Everything was just perfect.

This was our first visit to your restaurant. It was recommended by friends. It exceeded our expectations. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fine dining experience.

The food was phenomenal, the service was absolutely amazing and the atmosphere was so cozy and welcoming! It was our first time at Valley but we would go again in a heartbeat and would recommend this restaurant to everyone!

I come here every year since half a decade . This is my favorite restaurant Never disappoints me. Just love love love the food and the owner she s very kind . Food

Everyone was extremely accommodating when we constantly changed our reservation. A big thanks. The service was very pleasant throughout our dinner. We were a party of six. The food was only ok this time; one of the guest had to return their dish and mine along with my wife s was only so so this time (pasta wasn t tasting fresh and the sauce was runny). The calamari in the appetizer didn t taste fresh, either. On a positive note, they did serve each birthday person a complimentary sorbet. Thank you.

I drove one hour to meet five friends for dinner tonight. Let me tell you, it was worth every kilometre. All of our food was absolutely delicious. Each and everyone of us loved what we ordered. Our server, Alanah, was very kind and sweet and informative. At the end of our meal we were given a complimentary limoncello. All six of us are definitely planning to go back. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Surprise get together with former co-workers and this restaurant was absolutely spectacular! Exceptional menu which is very reasonably priced, plates were beautifully presented, sooooo delicious and portions were very generous. Our server, Alana (who deserves 10 stars) was absolutely outstanding and made sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful evening. I cant wait to go back there!

Good food. Acceptable prices. Nice ambience. Terrible service. Did not get greeted by hostess nor the server. Drinks and food took exceptionally long. Extremely loud in such a small place. Would not return unless re-training occurs and kitchen moves faster.

Loveeeee Valley! Great food, service, and atmosphere - no complaints! Alana was an amazing server, very kind and was helpful helping my mom with celiac options.

The inside of the restaurant is very elegant and was the perfect compliment to marvellously tasteful meal. I took a lot of time to decide on what to order. However the staff were extremely patient and kind despite how busy they were. They were also very kind in regard to dining alone for my birthday. I was brought over a very generous amount of gelato as almost if the staff knew how found I was of desert.

Over priced ,for the amount food you got. Dinning room is tight, Caesar salad was a joke for 12.99, came home and ate Parking: Easy parking for an average size car or truck.

Exceptional service. Exceptional food. Exceptional atmosphere.

My wife and I have been dining here for years. Prior to covid this was a gem a 5 star every time all around. Not sure if they have a new chef but if so fire him. Pasta was nothing like we remember clams meatless and i actually had a scallop cut in half, perhaps it was to lrg to fit the budget of the 40$ plate, very unprofessional. $160 I enjoyed the glass of wine and the 10 muscles app, the rest I fed to my dogs. The tall gentleman that served us was amazing 5 stars to you. Will not be returning, super disappointed.

We went last night for our 2nd visit. The experience left a lot to be desired. Our server was really nice, but she must have been really busy. Our glasses of water were only filled once when we were sat. I ordered the soup of the day, and as the waitress poured the liquid into the bowl, it splattered all over my dress shirt. The dirty dishes from the appetizers remained on the table for an extended period of time. Once the entrees were brought to the table, a party of 10 was seated right beside us. It became so LOUD that it ruined the experience. We couldnt even hear each other speak, and we were at a table of 2. I rushed through my entrée and my girlfriend finished half of hers before asking for a take-out container and the bill. The staff seemed so busy that we seemed like a bit of an afterthought. We will not be rushing back.

I have been looking forward to dining at this so-called amazing Italian restaurant since moving to St. Catharine s. I ordered the Veal parmigiana, and it was very good, but my side of pasta that came with it was cold. My partner ordered the $42 short rib dish, and it came out with more than 70% fat and maybe 4 bites of meat. It was absurd! We ended up leaving hungry & down $140 for 2 people. This experience was incredibly disappointing especially with all of the amazing reviews I ve heard. Will not return.

Last night I had dinner at the Valley. The food was beautifully prepared, with a lovely ambiance , as well our server Pam was excellent and the food came out quick. This was such a wonderful experience, will definitely be back!

One of my favourite restaurants!!

They accommodated a large reservation for us, despite the limited space available. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We had a really good time. Vegetarian options: A few nice dishes offered. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options Parking: Popular place so parking was limited.

Pasta obviously however the fish feature is always incredible

Went for a birthday. Food and service was exceptional. Cant remember the last time eating out when everything was made in-house. From the focaccia to the Gelato. The mains were incredible with homemade pasta. A must try in Niagara.

Good ambience and excellent service. Trish provided very good customer service. Food was delicious and fresh.

Best Italian restaurant Ive been to in years! The atmosphere is absolutely perfect and the pasta is all made by hand. This place does not disappoint. We were with a group of four, and there was not one disappointed person at our table. Everyone was surprised with the top level quality of the food. You have to check it out!

Tables too crammed together, food was good not great as i hoped...i would go back and try it again

Nadia is a skilled and expert chef. And these qualities are amplified by her remarkable kindness! Our meals during various visits to the Valley Inn have been among the best we ever had, and we are continually impressed by the wonderful hospitality that she and her staff provide. This place is an absolute experience. Well worth a visit.

A real gem of a place! A little off the beaten path but worth a visit. I had the boar, my hubby had the seafood pasta. Fantastic!

Fantastic experience. These people care about and deliver exceptional food and service. We had a seafood app, lobster ravioli, veal, meatball, lasagna and pasta. All delicious. Service was also great! We can t wait to be back.

We just had dinner at the Valley with two picky kiddos. Food as always was delicious and our server (Selena) was fabulous. I always love a night at the Valley. Thank you to all the staff.

Absolutely wonderful! Messed up and made a reservation on the wrong day, but they were willing to get us in! Front of house, waitress, everyone was absolutely wonderful! The food was out of this world! Had starters of the aragosta funghi and fromaggio fritto. For dinner itself I had the agnolotti al granchio and my wife had the linguine di zucca. I could go on for a LONG time about how amazing each one was, but I think google has a character limit on these eventually. Long story short all were cooked perfectly, had amazing depth of flavors, and there was nothing I would have changed. Wished we could have had dessert, but we didnt want to take up space since they squeezed us in (not that they rushed us in any way, but we didnt want to take advantage of their kindness). May use the mistaken reservation as an excuse to come back and check that out! Probably the best Italian food weve ever had. I will be dreaming of it until the next time we stop in!

Great place and atmosphere. Even though they didnt have the dish I wanted, I really enjoyed my food. I will definitely visit again.

Had a nice dinner out with friends. Waitress was very efficient and recommended a nice wine. I especially enjoyed the creme brulee. Parking lot not very big but found street parking.

Simply the best

We enjoy a monthly date night at this lovely restaurant. The food and service are outstanding. The owner Nadia drops by to check on service and food and even delivers food herself. A local favourite.

A Night to Remember! Celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary and what a wonderful choice of restaurant it made a special occasion just over the top. We were there with our Daughter, and decided to share an Appy Aragosta Funghi which was perfect for sharing and utterly amazing. My Daughter and I decided on the Positano ohh delish, and we got to take ½ home for another night! John ordered the Piatto Italiano and was smiling from ear to ear and he only was able to eat the Veal and he too had the remaining 2 portions of his plate to take home what dinner would be complete without dessert, especially a celebration dinner. We indulged in the Chocolate flourless mousse cake with chocolate ganache. This was definitely a 1 piece 3 fork treat that was to die for a must on our next visit!! Prices are great and portions, as you can tell, are generous. Valley was recommend to us by friends and they were so right!

This is the best place for having a great time with family and/or friends around the table. The environment is very cozy. The service is very professional. The food is simply wonderful and heartwarming. I have visited this place many times and they never disappoint. Cheers to our server Amanda for being super kind, caring and sweet.

Incredible!! I had the gluten free eggplant and pasta dish, they brought me my own gluten free bread. It was excellent. Its so nice to enjoy a delicious Italian meal again. Well be back for sure!

Always packed in a very tight restaurant but the quality is always great. Make sure to get a reservation

Fantastic atmosphere, great food, huge portions, Pam is so wonderful, Amanda was our server she was fantastic

The food is amazing. Very quiant

Awesome place, we go regularly. Everything fresh and very tasty! I had the mushroom soup and duck ravioli; to die for! Wife had mussels and pistachio crusted salmon,also delicious. Highly recommended!

The ambience was beautiful. The service and food was extremely good and delicious. The owner was friendly and kept checking on us to see if everything was ok. Such a warm and welcoming environment. Highly recommended! I am definitely going back!

Great food great service.

We booked a reservation with a deposit charged $25pp if we did not show. We were left standing on the sidewalk for 1/2 hr waiting for our table. The expectation should be for your table to be ready when asking people to guarantee. The food was just okay the server was great.

Having experienced the wonders of the Valley, I cant help but share my excitement about this remarkable dining spot. From start to finish, our time there was a true delight. The ever-attentive staff, particularly our wonderful waitress Jade, ensured that every aspect of our visit was impeccable. The patio, nestled amidst lush gardens, provided an enchanting backdrop for our meal. With the perfect blend of nature and ambiance, the Valley truly stands out as a destination where atmosphere meets exquisite cuisine. Speaking of cuisine, every dish we savored was a masterpiece. The menus diversity catered to all tastes, and the flavors were a dance on the palate. Its no exaggeration to say that each plate was crafted with meticulous care, reflecting the culinary expertise of the chefs. Valley isnt just about the food; its about the overall experience. A harmonious fusion of delectable offerings, a mesmerizing atmosphere, and a staff that goes the extra mile creates a dining haven thats worth returning to time and again. For those seeking an unforgettable meal surrounded by natural beauty and served with genuine hospitality, Valley is the place to be. Its not just a restaurant; its a journey into the heart of exceptional dining.

Amazing fresh home made food!!!!

Good Alfredo, and Lasagna.

The food is beyond good! The service really great and the place is beautiful.

Delicious, I will definitely return.

Best Italian food in the area. Great service and authentic Italian dishes. Highly recommend

My favorite restaurant. This place has been here forever. The atmosphere is quaint but very relaxing. The food is amazing. You wont find a bad choice on the menu and they have a very extensive wine list. We love coming here for special occasions or just a romantic night out. Parking: Parking lot is small and there is some space on the street. Best to come early or later after the busy time.

Its always a good dining experience with amazing food and friendly service. Highly recommend The Valley to everyone always! Never disappointed.

what an awesome place, great food, service, we had a nice quiet setting for our anniversary, my wife had the sword fish special she loved it, I had the classic veal parmesan, fugetaboutit, was beautiful

A lovely restaurant. Excellent service. Excellent homemade pasta. An excellent restaurant for a special occasion

If you are looking for delicious, creative and fresh Italian food, then visit this restaurant. Food is amazing, fresh and great portions. We dont live in the area however, weve been here 2 times and both times, excellent. My 1 complaint was when I booked it, I mentioned we were bringing friends and celebrating a 60th birthday. Of course, upon arrival, the hostess asked whos birthday we were celebrating and then placed a birthday sign in front of our guest. We ordered our food and drinks and our server then asked if we wanted coffee / dessert. I thought the dessert would have been presented with a candle or something. Instead, he just placed it on the table, said enjoy and left. Why bother acknowledging with a sign if youre not going to present the dessert with a candle? I felt embarrassed since it was our choice to go here to celebrate and it didnt feel special at all. I think our server tried to make up for it by offering limoncella to which we accepted 2, not 4. All in all, food was perfect, service was good and ambiance, rustic.

Dined for a birthday dinner and was very impressed. Every aspect of our experience was perfect, each staff member we encountered was very professional and polite & the food was extraordinary. Portions were great and each dish was so flavourful. Menu had lots of options for anyone. Will definitely be back.

Great for intimate dining the food was outstanding

I think this is the Best restaurant I have been to can t wait to go back !

Beautiful from top to bottom. The building was lovely inside and out. Our waitress was helpful and knowledgeable and made us feel special though I could tell she made all her patrons feel that way. The food was amazing. The gnocchi was soft a pillowy as all Italian gods require. The wild boar ragu was perfectly done and delicious. Loved the limoncello ending and getting to celebrate here.

We celebrated with our friends their 1st wedding anniversary. Dinners was so yummy! Definitely the homemade dinner taste They acknowledged their anniversary with a complimentary Gelato with spritzers. A very special evening Food

The staff were so kind and funny

Great atmosphere! Great server with an awesome personality. Food is amazing!

My favorite place!

Sooo delicious. Excellent service.

First time here and it was amazing! Everything is fresh and delicious. The service was great as well! Definitely will be back!

Great food and great service. Will be back very soon.

Wonderful atmosphere, amazing food. Service was excellent. Nadia and her staff are very accommodating, if there is something you need altered for your menu choice.

I my opinion, the Best restaurant by far in St Catharines and the surrounding area. The establishment is a family owned. The food is freshly prepared and served to the highest standards. And as a result of Such Excellent Quality reservation is recommended to avoid any disappointment

I called for a reservation almost a week in advance for a party of 6 for a birthday dinner at 5:30, they said they couldnt take us because they already had 3 big tables and that we should have called 2 weeks in advance for a reservation for a Big party. Since when is 6 a big party. They said the only time we could come was 4:30 not any other time. I asked if I just walked in would we get a table, and they told me that I wouldnt. Very poor customer service. I cant believe our business was turned away. Ridiculous.

We have tried this restaurant on 3 separate occasions as we are committed to supporting local however..in all cases it has not been the experience as quoted in the posted reviews. Definitely not value for money apart from the brushetta. There wasnt any atmosphere to speak of and recommended white wine was full of sediment. Our server and any other staff we met were personable and welcoming which we appreciated. Its unfortunate the rest was lack luster at best.

If youre looking for authentic Italian cuisine and a cozy, romantic setting, then look no further than Valley Restaurant. Incredibly delicious food is freshly prepared and expertly served by their friendly staff. Their portobello mushroom canelloni is one of my personal favourites. Make sure to save some room for one of the house-made desserts ;)

Thoroughly enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, food & service! Highly recommend.

Once in a while in life you get to experience the pure joy of finding a new hidden gem that instantly warms your soul and nourishes your spirit; this is that experience. Packed to the rafters on a chilly Tuesday night with celebratiory conversations, polished and welcoming service and plate after plate of perfect food. My only regret is finding this restaurant at 50, and not 30 years of age so I could have been enjoying this for longer. 20 / 10

Dont let the outside look and quaint small town inside decor fool you, this is a top notch fresh Italian food experience. Service is perfect being attentive without being omnipresent, food is all fresh and mouth watering good. Extensive wine list. A must go to and return place. Put it in your schedule and go. You will be happy (and your palette) that you did. Vegetarian options: A few excellent options. Equal taste and quality to other items the menu; not an afterthought to appease possible vegetarians patrons.

Very busy place. Definitely need a reservation. The food and drinks were great. Even got some complimentary gelato for my birthday. Would love to go back and try more off the menu.

This is a quaint out of the way Italian restaurant in St Catherines that should be put on your list to try if you are nearby. The food and service are excellent with my server, Alana being welcoming and helpful with wine and food selection. Pasta made fresh in-house was perfectly cooked. A memorable dining experience. Highly recommended.

Great staff, great food and good overall experience. One member of our party has celiac disease and the restaurant was knowledgeable, understanding and well prepared for the allergy. I highly recommend! Dietary restrictions: Very knowledgeable a d accommodating for celiac disease and tree nut allergy! Lots of options for both and food is prepared safely and I experienced no symptoms afterwards. I would feel very comfortable earing there again!

Loved the food and service. Our Server was amazing and friendly I will definitely be visiting this place again soon! Great atmosphere.

Never have I enjoyed a dinner more than at this amazing restaurant. The food is incredible. Hats off to the chef. Mouth watering. Authentic. Great Service. A little pricey but worth every penny. Still havent found a restaurant that tops Valleys when it comes to taste.

Amazing experience overall.

We had a reservation tonight for 7pm. Showed up at 6:50, to a full restaurant. We were advised by the hostess they lost power and were unable to make food. We werent notified of this before showing up. We unfortunately left and went elsewhere.

I want to begin by acknowledging how amazing our server was in being attentive, pleasant, and observant. We came in with three hangry kids from a cheer comp, and our server and staff got all of our food out in a timely and efficient manner. Every one of us would have rated this restaurant more than a 5 star, but 5 is the limit. Food is truly homemade, and made as if there is a Nona in the kitchen. Everything is made from scratch and homemade at this restaurant. The owner is attentive and checks in on every table in the restaurant to ensure customer satisfaction. With out a doubt, this is the BEST GEM restaurant in St. Catharine, and maybe Niagara Region. Amazing tasting food, attention to detail on the plating, way above average service, and for the quality of the food you get....great pricing for your meal. Really worth the experience and we will continue to return to the hidden gem in Niagara!

Words cannot describe the quality and effort put into every dish. This is my favourite restaurant by a mile and a half, it s always busy and for good reason, it s the best. I visit weekly when home in the area and I encourage anyone and everyone to visit. You cannot go wrong with valleys.

Vegetarian options: Eggplant parmigiana was delicious.All the staff were very professional and very attentive. Food

Very nice.

Nadia is a great host and staff are pleasant!

An amazing restaurant, with amazing food, unique atmosphere and excellent service. Highly recommend!

Celebrated my parents 40th wedding anniversary and everything was fabulous. Pam, our server was great with our group of 7. Delicious authentic Italian dishes that taste so fresh. Great selection of Italian wine. Looking forward to visiting again.

This was a 5 star meal, 5 star service (Selena) and it comes in a humble setting. We got to know the guests beside us. Everything is homemade and youll want to take home all the recipes. You cant possibly leave here hungry or dissatisfied. Limited space so make a reservation.

My wife and I have been going to the Valley for 30 + years, always good food and service. If you like cheese cake you won t find better, anywhere! Thank you Valley staff. Food

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free had options on the menu Food

Staff is Wonderful, Great Food Loved it. Definitely Will Go Back. Chef even visits your table to Ask if you are enjoying your meal.

Amazing Amazing Amazing! They can also accommodate Gluten Free Allergies without sacrificing the taste!!! Food

Company Christmas dinner. Fabulous food and interesting decor. Unfortunately, the packed small dining area without dividers made for tight seating and a very noisy atmosphere. I hate to mention this though because on another night this could be different and everything else was a treat!

My wife and I just had the most wonderful dinner experience here! The food was amazingly delicious, the service was excellent and the atmosphere was very pleasant! We get around to a lot of restaurants and Valley is at the top of our list for sure! Yum

This year we chose The Valley for our staff Christmas party and they did not disappoint!! The atmosphere is so cozy and the restaurant itself is beautiful. The staff were so accommodating, respectful and welcoming, it was amazing. Right from our drinks, to appetizers and our mains, everything was beyond our expectations. We all would highly recommend The Valley Restaurant!! Thanks you Nadia and all of your staff :)

Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options Parking: Parking is tight if you have a larger vehicle. Food : 4/5 |

Very nice dining experience for our date night dinner. Outstanding food, atmosphere and service.

The only complaint I have wouldnt be about the service, food, or environment but the people beside us being super loud. Not at all the responsibility of the restaurant ns those people were just thoroughly enjoying themselves, however it was our first date night after having a newborn and very hard to have a conversation. Otherwise 5/5 on everything for this restaurant. Their festive drinks were very enjoyable. It is expensive but totally worth it! Highly recommend

It was a great place!!

Best food, service and atmosphere in all of Niagara.

An absolutely delightful experience. This is an amazing hidden gem. Treat yourself and someone you love.
