I came here for a work dinner. The interior is beautiful and I loved that we got to sit in our own little room. We were quite a large bunch but it felt cozy. Menu is expansive. I was surprised at the versatility. My meal was excellent and so were the appetizers. Though members of my party weren't as thrilled with theirs. The salmon was a little over cooked and cold, per my boss. But my experience was excellent. I loved my meal, I appreciated the attentiveness of the staff, and I loved the zero proof cocktail offerings. I'm only deducting a star based on the experience of multiple people in my party. I would still recommend trying this restaurant if you are in town or need somewhere for a large group.

I made a reservation for lunch on a December weekday about 30 minutes before we arrived. My party of 3 was sat right away. Service was excellent throughout our meal. I ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese which was delicious. The burrata on top mixed into my pasta nicely. The whole dish was warm and filling - perfect for a cold December day. We also enjoyed desserts. I enjoyed the Brûléed Lemon Tart - the crunch from the brûlée and the blueberry sauce was great.

Came on a Thursday at 3:00 pm and the restaurant was nearly empty. Our server did a great job checking in, but making sure not to too often. The ambiance is perfect for a date night or even an intimate lunch. I wish I could remember our server's name, as she was truly wonderful. She explained the menu throughly, guiding us with possible pairings, substitutions, and additions. The complementary bread is phenomenal. The flaky salt on top is my favorite. I am not usually a huge chicken parmesan fan, but I had heard from several people that it was one of their best menu items. Boy did they steer me in the right direction! It was cooked perfectly, thin and crispy. I love that it comes with both a marinara and alfredo sauce. Perfection!

Wonderful time for my birthday dinner tonight. I got the bruschetta and the pasta carbonara. Everything was delicious!! Of course birthday called for a free dessert - had to go with the tiramisu. It was homemade. Some of the pastas are made in house as well!! This is a great place to go to celebrate a special occasion. Highly recommend making a reservation on the weekends.

I've seen a lot of hype about Valentina's and the 3 hour wait limit speaks to the hype even more. Thankfully we had a reservation and were promptly seated at 6:30. Valentina's has a very cozy vibe, even while being packed out. We celebrated our 5th anniversary at a little table for two and our waitress Marissa H. took great care of us! We had the meatball, burrata, chicken parm, lasagna, and finished the night with a delicious tiramisu. Everything was excellent. The flavors were on point, very well balanced. Also their bread is out of this world, the freshest focaccia I've had that didn't come from my own kitchen. I can't pick a favorite dish because it was all so good, but I will say I could probably live off of their meatballs. Honestly this was such a great experience I'm already planning my next visit; from start to finish 10s across the board.

Valentina's first impression, an upscale dining experience with fabulous food and superb service. Our server Peter A. exceeded expectations, greeting us with inquiries about food allergy concerns. We have a family member with an extreme egg allergy that makes dining out challenging. Peter continued our service delivering tasty dishes and with attentive follow up. The pasta dishes are well prepared making this restaurant one for a return visit. Thank you Peter, kitchen staff and management for a wonderful meal.

Went for NYE with friends and had a fantastic experience! Beautifully decorated inside, located in Bridge Park making parking easy and convenient. Our server was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable on the menu and didn't rush us but made sure all needs were met. The food itself was amazing (as were the drinks). We split the meatball, burratta, and bruschetta - all were fantastic! I got the chicken Parmesan- the piece of chicken was very large and perfectly cooked. The rigatoni pasta underneath was also delicious. Several people in our group got the carbonara with the breaded chicken on the side which was a huge hit!

We came here on a beautiful Spring evening and decided to sit outside on their patio. The service was excellent. My dirty martini was prepared very well, and my wife liked her wine as well. For appetizers we got their meatball -- I loved it, my wife thought it was okay. For dinner we shared their prosciutto pizza. It was quite good. It was also huge. he two of us brought leftovers home.

Today was an effort to give Valentina asecond chance since unfortunately, the first time wasn't great. Here's where I stand at this point. Beautiful restaurant in the fun area of Bridgepark. The service was friendly and professional. However, it's the food that's just not memorable. None of us at my table were impressed with what we ordered. I usually rave about Cameron Mitchell's restaurants, but this one the food just isn't great. I honestly don't see myself coming back. There are just way better restaurants out there. In fact, his other Italian restaurants are better. Read through the other reviews and you will see this is a common complaint. I wish him all the best with this space, but I feel if they don't make some changes with the taste of this menu, it won't last very long.
