    Valentinos met and exceeded expectations. From the greeting of the valets to the outstanding service of our server Brittany all was what we hoped for and more. Now the most important feedback, the food. From the starters to the main dishes we were extremely impressed. Our pasta dishes were served nicely presented and absolutely delicious. We’ll be back next trip to the area ! Vince

    If you want a truly special restaurant experience, this is it! The decor is upscale chic, yet warm and inviting at the same time. The service is impeccable. Our waitress, Brittany really made our evening special, and the pacing of the food was relaxed, not rushed. We know from past experiences that Chef Ciro’s food is the best authentic Italian food you will find anywhere. His attention to detail, not only to the amazing food he prepares, but also as a host to his guests makes you feel well cared for. The beautiful double sided bar is a great place for an after dinner drink and to listen to live music. A perfect evening for us!!

    From the moment we stepped into Valentino it was amazing. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfectly setting the stage for what turned out to be an unforgettable dining experience with my husband Our waitress, Daniel, was nothing short of incredible. Her friendly demeanor and attentiveness truly went above and beyond. He made us feel welcomed and valued throughout our meal, ensuring we had everything we needed. Each dish we tried was exquisite, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. It was evident that the chefs put a lot of love and care into their creations. The drinks were also on point perfectly crafted and perfectly paired with our meals. Daniel made sure we had just the right wine to complement our dishes, contributing to the overall enjoyment of our evening. the chef personally introduced himself, which added a special touch to the experience. Overall, Valentino exceeded all our expectations. With amazing staff like Daniel and an impressive menu, it’s a place we can’t wait to return to. Thank you for a memorable evening! Highly recommend

    Quality restaurant but prices are much too expensive compared to all other Tampa Bay restaurants My $60 snapper was good and our $50 pasta was also good.
