About Valenti & Co.
Valenti & Co. - Authentic Northern Italian dining and a wine bar on San Anselmo Avenue.
Valenti & Co. in San Anselmo:
Valenti & Co. is a Northern Italian restaurant and wine bar on San Anselmo Avenue, serving thoughtfully sourced local organic ingredients in seasonal dishes with small-production wines — including 25 selections by the glass.
The dining room pairs Italian elegance with a homey neighborhood feel, making it a strong choice for date nights, celebrations, and relaxed dinners in downtown San Anselmo. Reservations are recommended; gift certificates are available online.
Why Valenti & Co. Stands Out
Valenti & Co. delivers a true Northern Italian dining experience without feeling overly formal. The kitchen emphasizes farm-fresh ingredients and seasonal cooking, so the menu keeps a chef-driven rhythm instead of feeling fixed and predictable.
The restaurant is also known for balancing quality with a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere. Guests get polished service and refined technique while still feeling comfortable enough for both special occasions and regular dinners.
A Little Context
Valenti & Co. was opened by chef Duilio Valenti, whose Northern Italian roots and culinary background shape the restaurant's identity. The restaurant's location alongside the San Anselmo Inn adds to its classic downtown character.
What To Expect On The Menu
Seasonal highlights often include house-made pastas, risotto, potato-and-spinach gnocchi, and rotating secondi such as duck. The wine program focuses on Italian and small-production selections, with strong by-the-glass options for pairing.
Dining Experience
Expect a casual-elegant room with a lively but relaxed pace, plus bar-lounge energy and outdoor seating that is especially appealing on pleasant evenings in downtown San Anselmo.
Dinner Hours Wednesday – Sunday: 5:00 PM – close Monday – Tuesday: Closed
