Valentino's Italian Grill: Reviews & Ratings
We live a block behind Valentinos - very dangerous but it means we have been frequenting this place for about a decade now. Any chance we can get away for a date night we usually end up walking to Valentinos. We love this place! Have never had a bad meal here! In our many times to visit, we’ve always had great experiences with service. The one time we ever had a minor issue, it was dealt with quickly and apologetically. Great atmosphere, amazing food and friendly service. Eat here - you won’t regret it!
Signature cocktails, nice beer and wine selection, top shelf liquor. They do not carry alcoholic seltzer. Standard non alcoholic drink selection.
If you haven’t been to Valentino’s you need to go. We finally checked it out. SO GOOD! Top notch customer service and you can tell everything is made from scratch. Wow. The special is ravioli. I can’t make a decision so I had the waitress pick. She did 2 kinds with some amazing sauce. House salad with fantastic dressing. Can’t wait to go back. I can’t believe how good Nikki was with my indecisiveness . She nailed it.
This is our go to place for all occasions. Superb service all the time and great food with great atmosphere. We dine here once every month and never had any negative experience, highly recommend this beautiful restaurant to everyone. Enjoy
Delicious, flavorful and always fresh! Our favorite dishes are the Eggplant Parmesan and Chicken Marsala. They are so accommodating too. I prefer to substitute vegetables instead of pasta with the Eggplant. The veggies vary and are always amazing! We also love the fresh salad with tasty house dressing. Valentino's has an elegant atmosphere and cozy booths that are perfect for date night. They also have done a fantastic job at accommodating larger groups when we've brought family and friends. Highly recommend!
Great place and perfect location with ample parking and play ground next door. Server was Jodi and she was fantastic with our family of 6 including 2 small children. She took her time with us and helped with the menus selections. The food was hot and prepared with care. Presentation was also great as were the portions. Over all great night . Thank You !
We love this place and try to get there at least once a month. The crab stuffed salmon is my go to dish, but I've never had a bad meal no matter what I order. Parking can sometimes get tricky, so get there early if you want to park behind the restaurant.
The BEST Eggplant Parmesan!!! Perfectly crisp, well-done, the sauce is so delicious, tasting fresh and homemade. The tomato basil soup had fresh tomato bites and was one of the best I’ve ever had. Lake Orion’s Italian Gem
