Cilento Sandwich Co is returning as a weekday popup at Valente's Cucina. It will be open Tuesday - Thursday. We are aiming to start the popup in late June or early July. We are bringing back the cheesesteaks and sandwiches you have been asking us for over the last two years.

We have been hard at work making changes to Cucina

We have been hard at work making changes to Cucina as we move under the umbrella of @allorahospitality.

Our intention is to reopen at some point in June but do not have a hard opening date set yet. When we do, we will be open for dinners on Fridays and Saturdays with three available seatings at 5:00, 7:00, and 9:00.

The rest of the week, we will be available for catering and private events.

Not long after Cucina reopens, we will be reopening @valentesnj at the old Information Center.

At the new spot, we will have significantly more space to carry a slew of new products. Among other items, you will be able to buy the fresh pasta and sauces we offer at Cucina, as well as many of the customer favorites from the original Valente's Italian Specialties.

Due to some staff-related issues, we needed to close a week earlier than intended. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Five years ago today, my kids helped me do a test

Five years ago today, my kids helped me do a test run of the @valentesnj set up in preparation for its first event, a @downtownhaddonfield food truck night market.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think this little 10' x 10' tent filled with items we finished making at 5:00 a.m. the morning of the event would evolve and change to what it is today and what it will become.

In some ways, it feels like it all happened so fast. In others, I don't remember a life before Valente's.

Honestly, It's been amazing but also very draining. It's taken a huge toll on me mentally and physically. Still, I would not change (almost) anything.

I am who I am today because of what started in this little tent and am thank for all of the people I have met along the way and grateful for all of the experiences I had.

I cannot wait to keep growing with Valente's Cucina and reopening @valentesnj at some point. I want to get back to our roots and honor the legacy of the matriarchs in my family and bring Abruzzese cuisine to South Jersey.

Our story is a big part of who we are and I believe our reboot will get us back on track with that.

It's time for us to take a little break. Our last

It's time for us to take a little break. Our last day open will be Sunday, April 3 for a little while.

The grind has gotten to us and we need a little time off to reboot and come back ready to go 100%.

We will take some time to make changes/repairs/renovations to the restaurant, revamp the menu, and get ready to serve you again soon.

There is no reopening date set. After we close, we are going to take a week or two to clear our minds and then get to work on the changes.

We will keep you posted when we are ready to go again!

Some quick q/a:

What about existing reservations?
We have been calling all reservations after 4/3 to let them know. If we have not called you yet, we will soon (or do not have your contact info).

What about gift cards?
Don't worry, we're not closing for good. You can still use your gift cards after we reopen. Prior gift card purchases cannot be refunded, though.

Will you be doing anything in the meantime?
We will still take (and honor) private events and catering orders. Additionally, Chef Johnnie and I have discussed doing a couple chef's tasting menu dinners while we are closed but nothing is definite yet.

Can we still get in before you close?
We have some availability between now and then. You can make a reservation on our website, valentescucina.com, or by calling (856) 298-1937 and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Thank you in advance for understanding. This was not an easy decision to make but one felt we had to make.
