Best Italian Restaurants in Bellair Bluffs

nt was busy but not overcrowded, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our server, Paul, was fantastic--very accommodating, especially with the kids. The rest of the staff was equally friendly and attentive without being overbearing. While they offered a special Thanksgiving menu including turkey and the fixings, we decided to stick with pasta. I started with a Caesar salad, which was a generous portion and great value. The Caesar dressing was good and not too much anchovy flavor. For my entrée, I had the fettuccine with bolognese, and it was delicious--a hearty and satisfying dish. The kids shared a spaghetti and meatballs from the kids' menu, and my wife chose the shrimp fettuccine Alfredo, which she found to be flavorful and perfectly prepared (not too much butter). Bread was served before dinner with a pesto olive oil dip, which was a nice touch. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a delicious meal in a friendly setting!

This was a spontaneous reservation for Thanksgiving dinner. My family had never eaten there before and we did not know what to expect. We had checked out the menu prior and were excited with the options and figured we would give it a try for our special occasion. There was six of us and all of us were, very pleased with our selections which ranged from shrimp, short ribs, pasta, and one Thanksgiving meal. I had the Thanksgiving meal and I have to say the turkey was the best I have ever had. We will definitely be back.

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 excellent as was the service. I will definitely eat here again

Great food, great service, lovely people! It has become our favorite place to eat in Clearwater.
