Score
Valenti Restaurant appears in inspection records 13 times, starting in 2023. The latest inspection on file is from Aug 18, 2025. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.
Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around 10 violations compared to roughly 13 violations earlier on.
“Food-contact surface soiled with food debris” accounts for the largest share of issues, appearing seven times across the record.
Compared to other Venice restaurants (averaging 78), there's room to close the gap. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
