I really wanted to try this restaurant. The reviews had me sold! The food was good (but my lobster ravioli was not hot) which ruined the taste of the meal. The calamari we ordered was hot, fresh and flavorful. The staff…were simply and admittedly overwhelmed and while I could understand their frustration…we also felt let down as a consumers. It just made for a bad experience overall!!

I enjoyed the ambience of Valentino’s. I loved the feel of the restaurant. This was my first time eating there. I loved the salad I ate. However, I was very disappointed in the entree — Lobster Ravioli. It sounded good, however taste-wise, it was lacking.

We’re visiting from out of town and chose Valentino’s for dinner. It was phenomenal. It’s a great space which includes a nice outdoor area. We started with Arancini and Burrata, which were superb. My Garganelli was delicious and my beautiful Italian fiance says the Gnocchi she had was the best ever (aside from her grandma’s). We were stuffed, and the only dessert we wanted was Cherries Jubilee, but it wasn’t on the menu. However, our fabulous waiter said they had all the ingredients, so he made it table side and it was amazing!

Very nice ambiance. My husband ordered the special of the night which was chicken stuffed with spinach, goat cheese, tomato with a white wine sauce & risotto (delicious). They cook the banana foster table side. Excellent service.

Very lovely waitstaff, and a wonderful little restaurant. I have no complaints about anything, pricing was reasonable, they managed to fit my very large party, and everything tasted excellent. Make sure to call ahead if you have a large group!

Went to Valentino’s to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The best part of the restaurant is the ambiance. Formal and private table settings were great for conversation. We were greeted and taken care of by an efficient wait staff. We ordered the lobster ravioli which honestly was uneventful. Pretty bland. We also ordered the meat lasagna which was pretty good. Surprisingly there was no bread given. I think that’s a first in an Italian restaurant for us, no bread. For appetizer we had the caprese which was very good and lastly for dessert the flourless cake which was okay. We had a great evening but I would say the food was a bit disappointing. In hindsight I should have asked the waiter for some recommendations of best dishes.

Had the most delicious, special birthday dinner at Valentino’s. EVERYTHING was amazing. The service, atmosphere and food was all wonderful. The bread was delicious, the table-side Caesar salad was fresh, calamari was perfectly fried. Lasagna was top-notch. I could go on, but to sum it up: 10/10 – we WILL be back!

It was fantastic.. from the second you step into the door and you leave it’s enchanting. We were greeted by Kevin who is the most handsome lovely man and taken care of by Grant who took the best care of us along with Alexandra. Freshly made pasta. Everything was delicious! I haven’t ever had better pasta in my life. Thank you all for a fantastic dining experience. See you next time.
