    Valentino’s was the nicest dining experience we’ve had in a while. The attention to detail from the finely dressed doorman, to the beautifully dressed and friendly hostesses dared to outshine the immaculate interior design. Our waiter was attentive and this Italian accent and pride in the chef’s creations momentarily whisked us back to Tuscany. Without paying much attention to the prices, I expected the check to be at least double what it was. We will definitely be returning soon.

    Food was amazing. Staff was very helpful. I think they sat us and then forgot about our table so we waited about 20 minutes before being seen. Luckily one of the workers walking by noticed we haven’t been helped and got a server over immediately! I’ll tell you one thing, the food was incredible! I got the ravioli Valentino, it was small portioned but I was surprisingly full afterwards! The seafood& pasta was incredible! I’d definitely go back and give it another go based on the food and ambiance alone!

    Wow wow wow! We recently dined at Valentinos whilst on holiday in Clearwater. Desperate for some fresh, exceptional quality food we booked and Valentinos did not disappoint. From the moment t we stepped inside we received a dining experience not just dinner and that’s their USP for sure. Greeted by the beautiful champagne girls and taken to our seats with the wonderful songs of the rat pack and Elvis sung by the resident entertainment in the background. You can’t help but feel part of a time long since passed but lovingly remembered. Valentino’s offer a true immersive dining experience with quite honestly breathtakingly beautiful and delicious food courtesy of Chef Ciro Mancini. Italian food at its very best. So it will be of no surprise when you hear me recommend this wonderful new restaurant or to hear we went back once more before flying home!

    We had an amazing evening! The food is so delicious, and the servers are the best. We had Victor, who was always pending on anything we might need. There are many options to choose from, so we definitely have to go back to try more dishes. Victor’s red wine recommendation was the best!

    Our first time dining there. Waited a few minutes for a server once we were seated, waited a few more minutes for some water, we were told that there was no calamari that was noted under chef’s special appetizer, and was told they had no Woodford Reserve bourbon? After ordering, it took an hour for our meal to come out. My bolognese was very good. My wife did not finish her dish as she did not like it and did not finish it. She did not say anything to her server. The server took my fork after our appetizer and did not bring me another . The champagne girls came by asking if it was a special occasion and we said it was Friday. The place has a lot of satin gold including the hostess women outfits and all of the silverware which was interesting. They have a dress code which is nice for Florida but there was a group of older men next to us wearing shorts. They have some kinks to work out but when we looked at our bill- they did not charge all of my wife’s wine so maybe they knew things needed to be worked out and hopefully not a mistake. It was busy and will probably get better with time. Will likely be back but won’t be a regular. We wish the business success.

    Usual “just opened” kinks that need to be worked out. The service was terrible. Champagne girls walked past our table 3 times, never even looking at us. Our server complained she had too many tables but seemed to keep up with all but ours. Most of the food was outstanding, what wasn’t was more preference than anything. The chef is long-term in industry and the decor was nicely done, will give it another shot for sure.
