Valente's Italian Specialties in Haddonfield is making a big change as the state reopens amid the coronavirus pandemic. The small market is transforming into Valente's Cucina, an intimate, Abruzzo-inspired, sit-down Italian restaurant, the owners announced.

Valente's is adding seating both inside and outside and will continue to offer their specialty sandwiches and family meals for pickup and delivery. Most of those items will continue to be offered once the transformation is complete. "When we fully reopen as Valente's Cucina later this summer, our guests will experience a fluid atmosphere that changes throughout the course of the day," the owners said.
