Best Restaurants for Groups in Safety Harbor

Their Valentine dinner started off nice with a rose, but to get more tables in they had small round tables that were really not big enough. You could not get your legs in and out without fighting with the table. Our waitress was great and we never had to ask for anything. Lobster appetizers were fabulous, salad was good, we chose the tomahawk steak and lobster tail. Steak was cooked just right and had the best flavor, the lobster was tough and rubbery, and we didn’t get our sides right away, like they forgot them. Dessert was good so overall it was a good dinner.

Great location. Great friendly vibe. Great service and food. After several visits to LL, I keep waiting to be disappointed and it just never happens. From the moment you're greeted upon entering to the well wishes offered when leaving, the staff is top notch. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and just the right amount of attention during the meal. The food is equally impressive. Nothing fancy in terms of presentation. But that's not what this place is all about. A nice varied menu with fresh seafood that is well prepared and always tastes great. And lots of lobster options. Will definitely be back.

It was our first time dining at Valentino Ristorante Italiano but it will certainly not be our last time. We were warmly greeted the moment we stepped inside the understated yet elegant interior. We immediately knew this was not going to be a “typical” Italian dining experience. Once seated, the staff were abundant, attentive, accommodating and genuinely friendly. In fact, after expressing our delight over the vongole appetizer (clams), our server brought the chef, Ciro Mancini, to our table so we could share our thoughts and compliments with him directly. With so many delicious options on the menu, we were challenged to make a selection. We opted for the Fettucine Bolognese to enjoy as an appetizer (along with the clams) and felt satisfied we had made an excellent choice. The fresh pasta was al dente and the sauce was complex and rich enhancing,but not overpowering, the wagyu beef. We followed up with Zuppa Di Pesce, served in a bowl loaded with a fresh assortment of seafood. Thankfully it came with crostini to absorb the delicious broth and because it was so tasty we moved on to dipping in with the bread we were served upon being seated. Our server recommended the Veal Marsala and it did not disappoint. The sauce was full bodied and the mushrooms were firm and flavorful. Perhaps the best we’ve ever had! The dessert menu was limited and if we hadn’t overindulged on the other dishes we had ordered, we might have opted to try one. Perhaps on our next visit we will better pace ourselves, if possible, so we can sample their sweet offerings. Overall, we had a wonderful meal in a tastefully elegant setting with great service. Now that’s AMORE!

We were greeted quickly at our table by wait staff. We were given ample time to enjoy a cocktail and review menu. Food was delicious. I recommend the wedge salad-delicious. Petite filet great and cooked as ordered. Try the smashed red potatoes as a side. Love this restaurant.

Food was very good quality for the price. Wednesdays had a $3 discount per meal which was a nice surprise. The separate pastry shop, everything looked delicious but I found the frosting was too heavy and greasy.
