Attention given to every single detail, Italian music and exquisite tastes; an excellent choice for Italian culture lovers, especially for lunch on a sunny day, as the restaurant is bathed by the sun. We'll definitely return soon!

Outstanding place. A must go for Valenciennes. Service is fast and efficient. The experimental pizza with pasta is the result of an artistic mind. The tiramisu is very well achieved too. You'll definitely won't regret this place, in fact you'll remember.

Busy, but that’s because of the great food and nice atmosphere, combined with an excellent staff (one of best in Valenciennes). At night, finding parking is difficult but Trattoria is in very walkable area.

Modern Italian dining. Great service. Very tasty food. Just off the centre of town. We were seated on a high bar table as we didn’t have a reservation. Great table as we could see what was going on! Great menu. Good prices and very well made drinks. Pizzas looked amazing and there was a personalised pizza oven. They do a string pizza takeaway business too. We both had pasta dishes. Very well made. Good portion sizes. The burrata for starters was also brilliant with fresh made focaccia. My husbands Casio e Pepe could have had more pepper. But that is our tastes. My dish had a very subtle mushroom cream sauce with crispy guanchale. Modern decor with pink and green as signature colours. Very much recommend

Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere at Cacio Pepe: great place for a Italian dinner. Don’t forget to make a reservation: even on a Monday night it was crowded and people waiting for a spot.
