Tried to call ahead to place an order for pick up. No one answered the phone. Figured I’d just drive over and place my order in person. Stood in the entrance for a bit. Apparently they were too busy to wait on me. After a bit, a waitress asked me what I wanted. I said I wanted to place an order to go. She said she had to get the person who does the to-go orders. I waited some more. While I was waiting this time, a male waiter walked by me, stating that “we are busy, someone will be with you in a bit”. Very sarcastic tone. Ok, I’ll wait some more. Finally, a girl came from the back. Looks like she may have been washing dishes. At this point, however, I was turning to leave. I felt very unwelcome here. There were two tables outside that had patrons and maybe 6 inside that were occupied. I guess I didn’t fit their customer profile to be treated with any dignity or respect. I was really looking forward to some pasta tonight. Place seemed very expensive. Oh well.

I had the most incredible meal at Valentino’s Restaurant. I ordered the ribeye steak, and it was outstanding—tender, flavorful, and truly melt-in-your-mouth. The sautéed mushrooms were cooked to perfection, and the caramelized onions were perfect. I also enjoyed a fresh salad with a delicious vinaigrette, along with warm bread and butter that perfectly complemented the meal.
The portion was very generous—I think I only managed to eat about a third of the steak because it was so filling! I had hoped to try the churros, but I was completely satisfied by the time dessert was offered.
The service was amazing, the atmosphere was warm and pleasant, and the entire experience felt special from start to finish.
A heartfelt thank you to my special friend Walt—aka “Clark Kent”—from Florence, for sharing this true hidden gem of a secret with me. Discovering places like this is always better when it comes through someone who knows and loves the area, and this one was an absolute treasure. I’m so grateful for the experience and for the company that made it even more memorable
A special thank-you to Rob, the owner and chef, for creating such a memorable evening. Dining here is an experience I won’t soon forget, and I very much look forward to returning.

We came here to celebrate our daughter’s birthday a couple weeks ago. We were very disappointed. When we were served dinner, only my husband and I got our food. Our daughter ordered a salad and for some reason didn’t come when we got our food. Our server said it would be right up. Well, we were practically done eating when she received hers. Then when she got it, the presentation was terrible and didn’t have on it what was in the description missing half of the ingredients. We told the server and she said they would remake it. Another half hour passed and she received her salad. The server did apologize but wasn’t very sincere. She didn’t make an adjustment in the bill or go out of her way to make us feel better. Unfortunately because of this experience we will not return and tell others not to dine here. As a manager in the restaurant business, please train staff to never bring out guest food with incomplete orders. It completely ruins the dining experience. Also if something like this happens, make it right with the customer. So disappointing. We were embarrassed to take our daughter here who flew in for her birthday. Especially a tab over $150 for 3 people! We expect better!

Service during dinner time leaves a lot to be desired. Very slow. Multiple people walking around, but no one asked me what I needed or if I was here to pick something up I called over an hour ago and place the Tigo order got to the restaurant order still not bagged or ready. This has happened multiple times. I suppose it’s good because it’s all we’ve got but if you keep driving further, I’m sure you could find far better food and definitely better service. They’ve gone up on their prices. I also feel like at this point it’s overpriced and on top of the poor service I don’t think I can patronize this restaurant if the food is mediocre than the service better be fabulous. It would be great if the service and food could be great you’ve gone up on your prices, but have not gone up on your quality of service and quality of food.

My boyfriend and I walked in 30 minutes after they opened yesterday and were asked by the hostess if we had a reservation. We did not and were surprised by the question as only 4 tables had patrons seated. After being seated we both were perplexed as to why the black linen tablecloth was covered with butcher/wax paper. For this being a ‘finer dining’ restaurant, do they not want to wash their tablecloths? It seriously felt like being at a kids table at a picnic, the paper was placed to catch any spills. We both are in our 40’s and are capable of not making a mess on the table. Our waitress Wendy was very prompt to start our service. She was kind, friendly and knowledgeable of menu options and the daily special. We both were surprised at how fast the appetizers, salads and entrees were served. Our entrees were lackluster. I ordered the chicken piccata and when asked if I wanted spaghetti or potatoes for my side I asked for a side of angel hair instead. To my surprise, it was served with spaghetti sauce. I have never had this dish served that way. I was imagining the chicken would be served on top of angel hair pasta, as I have had countless times before at restaurants, not a side bowl of pasta and spaghetti sauce. I hate to say it, but it was one of the worst chicken piccata’s I have had at a restaurant. It did not have enough lemon or capers. It was more of a butter sauce and there was not enough of it. I was severely disappointed for the price it cost. My boyfriends prime rib was so tough the tabletop was shaking with how much effort was required to cut it. I would stop eating to hold the table still while he cut a bite as he was worried our drinks would spill over. Neither of us have ever had prime rib that required that much effort to cut. I’m only giving this high of a rating due to the great service from Wendy and the bruschetta. For the price, it was not worth it. Next time we want great Italian food we will drive into the valley. Saddest part was that my boyfriend felt guilty for the disappointing food as he brought me here for my birthday dinner.

LOVE this place. The Shrimp Diavolo with the tomato garlic cream sauce was phenomenal! And there was so much that I ate half of it for lunch the next day.

Rob and crew catered food for my dad’s celebration of life. My dad absolutely loved their food and deserts, so we thought what a perfect way to celebrate. So many great memories at the restaurant with our family. All of our guests were blown away with the quality of the food and desserts. Thank you Valentinos for making our day special!!

Update Jan 6 2023. Yum! My wife had the Alfredo (huge serving) and I had the baked haddock prepped with an Italian seasoned crumb. My fish was fresh, moist, tender. Large portion. Our fried calamari appetizer was light and perfectly seasoned. Not easy to pull off. Too many restaurants kill the flavor by over-seasoning. Not here. For dessert we shared a Tiramisu Gelato. Crazy creative and very satisfying. My coffee was the real deal – fresh and strong. Incredibly attentive, friendly service, fair prices. We called ahead for reservations and I suggest you do the same. Several customers who walked in without reservations turned and left after being told about the wait. Tonight is Saturday and that makes a difference. Maybe easier to get a table during the week? Pics attached.
UPDATE APRIL 26: We’re back! This time for dinner. Still a solid 5 stars. This is food enhanced. This is added value. My wife had the Caesar Salad and I had the Veal Piccata prepared traditionally with mushrooms, capers and a sauce from butter, lemon, garlic and white wine. The amount of veal I received was surprisingly large. My wife’s Caesar was over-dressed which made the romaine soggy by the time she finished the huge portion but the flavor was spot on and as expected, the plate was served well chilled. My veal was tender and the taste was robust and very savory. My veal came with a side of angel hair pasta prepared as it should be – al dente. My order came with a side salad but it wasn’t made with boring lettuce or even romaine. They serve crisp, chilled spring mix which has a pop and a special freshness. We started the night with a fried calamari app. Really tasty. Not salty. Not overly breaded. Not greasy. Just perfect. a great dinner was topped off with a shared slice of cheese cake. Any restaurant can place a slice of cheese cake on a plate and serve it and most patrons would be happy. Valentino’s goes above and beyond. See my pic – the cheese cake was topped with fresh whipped cream AND a savory blueberry-raspberry sauce. Really impressive. Very creative and an obvious desire to give the customer an elevated experience.
My wife has had lunch here with friends and loved it but this was my first time. Can I give Valentino’s 6 stars? I’m third generation Southern New Jersey Italian and I have never experienced that style or quality of Italian food anywhere else. To find it in, of all places, Florence, AZ is incredible. This food is the real deal. My wife had the Mussels Valentino with the lemon butter white wine garlic sauce option ($13.79). It’s also available in a tomato cream sauce version. I tasted one. Perfection. Great mouth feel. Not over cooked or rubbery. That’s hard to pull off. Good-sized mussels and the perfect lunch-size portion. When you’re seated, you’ll be served a complementary basket of warm house-made fresh-baked Italian rustic loaf bread. Again – as authentic as you’ll find anywhere. Your bread is served with a cup of very spicy marinara and a cup of butter. Watch out for that spicy marinara. I like hot but this stuff will drain your sinuses. I had the Italian sausage panini with roasted green bell pepper and onion served on a crunchy, flavorful Italian rustic sub roll with melted mozz and tomato sauce ($11.79). Brought a tear to my eye ;-). I had a choice of elbow macaroni salad, potato chips or coleslaw as a side. Fries or a side salad are available at an added cost. Service was great. The setting is upper-scale casual with dim lighting. Cozy, comfortable. An overall good experience.
