Our sister restaurant Varga Bar is in their finals stages for the search for real women to model for 12 Varga themed portraits.  Want to be a VArga girl? Email makemeavargagirl@gmail.com send 3 photos and 2 sentences why you should be a Varga Girl.

Women selected will be contacted to arrange a photo shoot with professional photographer Christopher Gabello.  The Ettore Salon & Spa will transform each model with hair and make up.  Smak Parlour boutique will provide wardrobe from its new vintage inspired lingerie line.  Each model will achieve a classic Varga Girl classic look.

The secret is out!  Valanni has a big screen and we’re gonna use it!  Watch the World Series with us starting this Wednesday Night! Enjoy your favorite beer or cocktail and our awesome menu until 1AM all while watching the Phillies in our swank lounge.

Yes, our beloved and crazy frenchman Alex is leaving Valanni for new beginnings.  While we here at Valanni are sad to see him go, we wish him much success and happiness and want to send him off right.

Join Alex on his last night behind the bar and say “Au revoir” - with a double cheek kiss of course!  You all know Alex - so surely wild antics will ensue as he slings drinks, yells comments at you that you can’t understand and dances like…well that ones hard to describe.  You have to see him dance for yourself!

Saturday Night    August 2nd    Be There!

What could be better than a fabulous beer dinner in August?  We are bringing in Bruce Wright, importer, former chef and Belgian Beer connoisseur for this event.  Chef Evan Turney and Bruce Wright put together a brilliant menu of Belgian beer and food pairings, keeping in mind and taste the Valanni medi-latin cuisine.  You don’t want to miss this one!
