    The ambience in the restaurant is perfection. The food is absolutely outstanding. And you can’t get better than the service. We were fortunate enough to have Daniel for our visit. He made the experience extraordinary.

    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!!
