Valenti’s Giant Grinders

My review is only for the Pizza. I have relatives that live pretty much across the street from here and we had never tried their food due to the bad reviews. A friend told us that they were under new management amd the food was good, so in December 2014 we ordered a couple of pizzas and I have to say that it was one of the best I’ve had. My family agreed. We’ve continued to order from them since then. I live in Manchester and sometimes we drive there just for their pizza. I have not tried anything else from there though. Give it a try!

Nice Griders.

Valenti’s is certainly a place to get some quality food with decent portions. The service was a bit slow, but I had ordered as part of a larger order, and the staff was apologetic about the wait time. Valenti’s has quite the comprehensive menu, featuring pizza, burgers, calzone, wings and giant grinders (hence the name). For some unbeknownst reason, I decided to order a veggie sub, and it was good, very good in fact. I’ll try to stop by again if my dining needs take me through East Hartford.

Italian Combo grinder was delicious. So we’re the fries. My coworker and I went there because I had a Groupon, which they didn’t honor. Service was slow. We were the only two in there and it was noon. Food good. Service ehhhh.

Since the new owners have taken over the store, the food is alot better and fast service. Me and my wife had their pizza, wings and grinder… everything was just great… I would recommend anyone to dine in or carry out deff try this place, you will not regret it.

This can’t stay a local secret for long at the rate they’re going. The 8″ sub is definitely a full meal for someone with a large appetite or two meals for regular people. It’s very convenient to Rentschler Field tailgating or for a filling meal after the game. Why no 5^th star? While you get tons and tons of meat, the other toppings just don’t measure up in quantity, and you have a limited selection of what you can add.

Meh. I had stopped in here a while ago, and grabbed a meatball grinder. I was quite impressed with the big, meaty meatballs. When they offered a Groupon, I made sure to grab it and come back.
We split some wings and a pizza. The pizza was okay. It was like 90% of pizza places, and nothing special. The buffalo wings get the same review. The teriyaki wings, however, were a little better than average. The sauce had a strong soy taste to it, which I like.
Valenti’s is exceptionally clean. It is also beautiful inside. The parking area can hold about four cars, and was completely full. I’m assuming all of the cars belonged to the employees, because we were the only people in there. There are also two spots on the curb out front. Parking isn’t really an issue. I’ve been here twice, and nobody is ever in here. They seem to do mainly takeout and delivery.
Here’s where the meh comes in. The food is just average, and I made a special trip only because I had a Groupon. Guess what… they no longer honor the Groupon. So, if you purchased the Groupon deal, fold it up and use it as a bookmark. 2.5 stars

Ridiculously slow service. Took 50 minutes to get 2 pizzas.

So so food. Delivery service was slow and they delivered the wrong items. When I called to let them know. I was treated very rudely. The owner insisted we send back the wrong item. So he could eat it. This resulted in some guests eating while others waited for second delivery. No class. The restaurant made the mistake. Comp the $ 10 item do not take it back because you think we shouldn’t get free food.
