Valentina's Italian Bistro

After a glowing recommendation from a close friend, we decided to give Valentina’s a try for our impromptu date night. We are SO glad that we did! From the moment we entered, we felt welcomed by the warm environment, live music and ambient atmosphere. We were seated & served by the lovely Stephanie. She was a complete joy and even gave amazing recommendations! We drooled over the bruschetta, which is to die for. Oh my heavens.
Then we enjoyed the chicken piccata which was made to perfection and finished it off with their homemade deserts! Delish, start to finish!
The owner came out to introduce himself, shake our hands and thank us for dining there.
He is retired Navy and honors those who have served.
Highly highly recommend! The parking lot is full for a reason! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow! Just wow! My wife and I wanted to try this place after reading the reviews. Please ignore all of the one star ratings. These fall in one of 2 categories. Either, the person has absolutely no idea what real Italian food is, or they are never happy. We recently went to Italy, and since returning have not been able to find ANYTHING that came even close. Then we came to Valentina's. What an INCREDIBLE, and AUTHENTIC, Italian restaurant. Understand. In true Italian tradition, everything is served in courses. Italians NEVER, EVER, serve bread and or salad with the main dish. Each of those is ordered separately and come out separately. In Italy, dining is an experience, it usually takes 1 to 2 hours for a meal to progress from appetizers to dessert. While it may not take that long at Valentinas, they do not rush you and the entire experience is relaxing and VERY SATISFYING! We got garlic knots, and caprese salad for appetizers. Both were excellent! My wife had the Linguine Terra Di Fuoco, I had the Clam w/garlic linguine. The pasta, (made fresh on site), was cooked perfectly. Each dish was an explosion of flavors. We got a side of meatballs and sausage to try as well. Both were excellent. We also got the Profiterole for dessert, and some cookies to take home for later. What is anazing to me is that EVERYTHING, is made in house. Our server, Stacy, was very friendly and helpful.

This was our first time to try Valentina's. We absolutely loved it! All of their dishes and desserts are handmade including the pasta noodles! We ordered a lot of different things so we could try it all out. Garlic knots, Caprese salad, Linguine Terra Di Fuoco, Clam Linguine, side of meatballs, side of sausage. And for dessert: Profiterole and various cookies. All of which was so authentic and fresh! We went to Italy in March and this food is very comparable to the best of what we had there! We can't wait to go back and try more on their menu! Our server Stacey was amazing! She was very friendly and helpful with answering all of our questions and making suggestions. She spent so much time with us and made us feel very welcome.

The food is amazing, the staff are very professional and friendly, and the environment is comfortable and relaxed. Our waitress was quick and efficient, and the owner was walking around checking on tables. Our food tasted incredible!!! The arancini was so crisp and crunchy on the outside, and full of flavor. They have a house made marinara sauce that I need jars of! My husband and I both ordered Calzones and they are so big! You can tell they use quality ingredients, everything tasted so fresh and delicious! We can't wait to come back!

Don't pass up this place. It's literally a hidden gem. The owners are a husband and wife duo that make you feel like family. Oh ya the food is incredible too. The pasta is so fresh it just melts in your mouth. The flavor of the sauces are authentic and delicious. This is definitely one of our favorites. Also the desserts are to die for. Stay away from the pistachio cookies unless you want a new addiction.
