Restaurants near Hazelwood Park

What an amazing find. Not in the heart of the areas everyone knows, and read about, but in an area that's so much better. Amazing people, deliciously fresh dishes and unique (and I mean that in a good way!) cocktails. First visit was last week, just went again this evening...repeat !

Walking in the restaurant felt cozy and warm. We were greeted immediately with our reservation and started with an amazing bread and oil. We ordered gnocchi and a steak and both were perfect. The menu was large enough to find something anyone would like but small enough to not have too many options and feel overwhelmed. 10/10 will be coming back again.

So glad I discovered this restaurant. Food was excellent with good portions, waiters were very professional, and I loved the ambiance. I will definitely be returning and referring others to this restaurant.

Overall the food was good. However, the crab cake was not as good, to much seasoning and filling less crab meat.

I cannot think of anything worse than having to work on Christmas day in a public facing role. So I was overjoyed that our server at Valentino's for our Christmas dinner was outstanding--smiling, polite, and perfectly attentive. The food was very good and the portions were huge. I had to take half of my dinner home and order my dessert to go. The special holiday menu with turkey, ham, and a vegetarian option was especially appreciated as grandma said that having a Christmas dinner at an Italian restaurant "did not sound like Christmas." Thank you to Valentino's staff for making our holiday a little less family drama and a lot more delicious.
