Valeria Restaurant - Boerne (TX)

1 /5 Valeria Colmenero: We dined here today (Oct.25th, 2025) for dinner after a 4+ hour drive to pick up my Mercedes that was at the Boerne dealership (HIGHLY RECOMMEND). The overall experience was highly disappointing and does not justify the $120+ price point. The food quality was subpar and was not worth the cost for it being a chef owned restaurant. You want high quality pizza, as well as great customer service, go to Stout’s Signature downtown San Antonio. While the initial service was welcoming to my toddler, the experience upon returning was unacceptable. After we had left, I realized we had forgotten my toddlers shoes under the table. When I walked back into the dining area to retrieve them, I overheard several staff members and a couple discussing my family and my child’s behavior. Specifically, I heard a gentleman singing near the bar, some of the waitresses and a woman with her what seemed like new boyfriend at a nearby table engaging in a conversation where they openly criticized my toddlers emotional outburst. While I understand that a childs momentary meltdown can be disruptive, it is completely unprofessional and unacceptable for restaurant staff to engage in, or encourage, conversations with other customers that openly mock or criticize another customer who has just left. This behavior demonstrates a profound lack of respect and professionalism. This is the first 1-star review I have ever left, and it is a direct reflection of the poor value of the meal combined with the unacceptable breach of customer privacy and professional conduct by the staff. I would urge management to re-evaluate their training protocols regarding how staff discuss and handle customer interactions, but the chef himself came out to offer that same couple a sample of what they would be serving at tomorrows event. Mind you, there was another very friendly-looking couple behind them who werent offered a sample, either. In conclusion, I do not recommend this restaurant. If the restaurant does not wish to accommodate children and the disruptions they may cause, I suggest they clearly define and enforce an adults-only policy rather than allowing their staff to openly criticize paying customers with other customers. RESPONSE TO RESTAURANT after posting review: January 13, 2026 ABSOLUTELY ABSURD and FALSE. I guess it’s because we spoke Spanish that you might’ve not understood when we discipline our child because she is bilingual. Also, we don’t scream and make a big scene as that tends to escalate a situation when a child is already having a difficult time learning to control their emotions aka a meltdown. We did step out to the vehicle and also went to grab more toys. Horrible human beings. Oh here are some pics to prove it BTW. Thank goodness I took some to prove you are being dishonest. I can’t believe it took me this long to read your reply.

5 /5 Kathryn Brannon: New (to us) Favorite Restaurant!! VALERIA!! Delicious, fresh food, quaint/peaceful atmosphere! Real napkins & tablecloths. Everything about our meal was fabulous! We will definitely return!

5 /5 Violet Galvan: Valeria, Valeria, Valeria, this was our first time here, we arrived just as it opened and had the place to ourselves. Like all upscale restaurants this one has its charm. The wait was to be expected so we knew going in, to start off we had the garlic bread which was wonderfully rich in flavor you were able to taste the Italian in them, we also ordered a pizza. The pizza was really good it had just the right crisp to its crust and the toppings werent massive which was great, the pizza was really nice, light, and fresh. We will definitely be back. Im definitely recommending this place if youre looking for that Italian feel and flavor in Boerne. Just a heads up get there when it opens, youll have that quiet take your time feel for lunch. Also the Italian music they had playing was on point. Show Savannah and Chef some love its definitely worth checking out.

4 /5 Joe O.: Being from New York, the pizza in Boerne is not very good. I got a pepperoni pizza to-go from here and it was $26. The pizza I received was quite small (personal size) which was disappointing for the price. The pizza itself, was VERY good. I could tell it was made with high quality ingredients and care. I would definitely get take out here again if 1) The pizza could feed more than one person OR 2) The price of the pie was more affordable. Oh well, I guess I’ll keep ordering Dominos!

3 /5 Marie Mayfield: We chose Valeria for a late New Year’s Eve dinner around 9:30 pm since it was advertised as open until 11:00 pm (most places in Boerne were closed). We couldn’t reach anyone by phone but decided to drive over. When we arrived, we were told the main dining room was closed and service was only in the bar area, which was very quiet with only one or two small parties. We were offered a four-course menu, which we agreed to. The food itself was decent, but the service was very slow—my husband had to request a beer multiple times before receiving it. The biggest disappointment was the lack of atmosphere, especially for New Year’s Eve. There was no energy, celebration, or ambiance—very low-key and not reflective of what the website portrays. When the bill arrived, we were surprised by an automatic 20% gratuity plus a 3% credit card fee for a party of two, which was not clearly communicated. Given the service and experience, this felt excessive. Our total was nearly $300 for the meal and two beers, which did not feel justified. Valeria may have good food, but dining is about the full experience—service and ambiance included—and this fell short, especially for the price.
