We came for the crab cake special which included soup. We distinctly ask of cream of crab was included at the same price within the special; we were given an emphatic “yes”. Imagine our surprise with all the additional fees and charges that were NOT specified on the menu! The crab cake was delicious; however, it was presented on a huge plate all by itself. The broccoli was bland and had to be doctored with lemon and crushed red pepper. The cream of crab was good. I wasn't expecting a Michelin-star dining experience; however, they could have cleaned the dead flies from the window sill.

Came for Baltimore Restaurant Week. I had never been to Valentino's, and my husband had only come once. It was really a great experience. So much food, we had to take some home. We did the four course special. Yum scrumptious!!! We'll come again.

Valentino's is truly a special place! Everything about this place was perfect! Not only was I able to book a table within an hour of eating we were served right away. The restaurant offered a special Mother's Day menu & had the full menu as well. Mother's Day was amazing and it came with a free sangria for every women who came in,
Great place but beware Opentable diners. You can make a reservation on Opentable but they will not honor it. Big problem on a Saturday night. 4 of us had to wait and then ended up squeezing in at the bar. Bad policy for them.
Valentino's was an excellent choice for our Xmas dinner. My wife's crabcake and my seafood lasagne were outstanding. The service was good making our overall experience very enjoyable.

The experience was not bad, however, there was a lot that was left to be desired. There was one embarrassing moment for my mom. When being seated at a booth, per her request, the waiter or host, or whoever it was that sat us kept picking tables where there wasn't enough room for her to sit down. The third table is the one we personally selected. We didn't make a big deal about it, but it really upset her. The breadsticks were nice. My mom got a shrimp club sandwich with bacon, and felt like it was bland. I got the Granchio Verde. It looked very pretty and was a nice light dish but it did seem like it was missing something flavorwise. My dad got some kind of open face pot roast sandwich I think? He really enjoyed his food. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience but with my mom having a not so great experience it kind of put a damper on the night and my birthday. Completely willing to give it another go and try other stuff on the menu. Aside from the whole table thing, our service was really great. Someone was always checking how we were doing and how we were on our drinks.
Everything was great except the service waiter was horrible he took our order after bringing it he never came back only to bring the bill he never asked if we wanted any dessert my wife did want some cheesecake but she said just forget it. I said sir she would like another sangria and I would like another tea he said no prob that to took him 15 min .our waiter was the older black man who has a leg problem ..
We came for restaurant week and was in total awe of the quality of the food for the type of establishment. Definitely would return and definitely would recommend! A nice little hidden gem

I had a lovely garden salad, paired with pasta with spinach, mushrooms, and jumbo lump crab, plus German chocolate cake and a glass of wine. It was delicious and a great way to begin New Year's Eve.
Food quality and quantity were good. Stay away from the Apple Cobbler. Pecan Pie was excellent. Service was Very Good. Ambience was a little noisy due to XM from ceiling speakers. Open 24 Hours. Reservation not necessary.

This was our first time and we would definitely return. It is a unique, neighborhood restaurant. VERY BIG but not overwhelming menu. Impossible to not find several items you would like. The food was excellent and the pricing was very fair. We each also received a complimentary light palette cleansing fruit plate after dinner. If you are dining anywhere near Harford Rd. inside the beltway, give Valentino's Restaurant a visit.

We chose Valentinos as a last minute Mother's Day Lunch choice for a group of 6. I have been there twice and remember the food to be tasty- well cooked and seasoned well. This time the food seemed over cooked and not well seasoned. Everyone needed to add salt and pepper. We arrived 15 minutes early which seemed to throw the staff off a bit. Once we were seated the tables the were severely uneven and took some time for the staff to fix. Food arrived quickly but was mediocre.
Today was my fiancé birthday and I brought him here to experience the results of a google search for "the best meatloaf in Baltimore." He did in fact enjoy the meatloaf and enjoyed the Seafood Alfredo. The food was absolutely delicious. They sang him happy birthday with the cake of his choice. All in all we had a great time

It was our first time there as a family. The staff was nice and very attentive. The man who brought the desert even sang for my son's birthday, by name, most restaurants don't ask for the name, it was a nice touch..
