 Chef Matt Swickerath and owner Michel Arnette, who also owns nearby Haven, attract a steady stream of regulars from the nearby townhouses and the 'burbs to this Northern Italian restaurant. Ample antipasti include nicely fried seafood fritto misto, with singularly sweet halibut, shrimp and calamari entangled with thin slices of fried lemon, fried parsley and fried capers---the whole daubed with a light touch of lemon aïoli. Pastas vary from gnocchi made in-house that are tender and well worth the calories to pappardelle with its accompaniment of house-made ricotta. The simple cooking of northern Italy defines these dishes, including the rabbit with tomatoes and olives, healthful and rustic, and the wood-roasted bronzino with crusty olive oil roasted potatoes and arugula. The bisteca, a flat-iron steak, comes grilled as ordered with a side of farro. Desserts may include a warm chocolate cake with vanilla cream and chocolate sauce. The wine list is almost all-Italian, offers a number of choices by the glass, and includes half-priced bottles on Mondays, making Valenza an ideal dinner date spot.
