The Original Valentino Italian Restaurant

I feel like I’m home again. thank you Salvatore for coming out to meet us at the end of our meal!

Food was fresh, service was great. Our server, a recent transplant from San Diego, was an amazing server and gave us a number of great recommendations of things to do while in town for our group of 10.

Everything from the appetizers to the desserts was fresh and delicious. I loved that my shrimp scampi had freshly chopped garlic. Chelsea was a sweetheart. I will definitely ask for her to be our waitress again. Thank your for singing Happy Birthday to my son. It made his night.

I will write some plus ,,some minus. ..First,when I was reading the menu on the outside wall somebody in a t-shirt jumped out the side door and yelled :: "can I help you?"" It was a turn off, was not necessary...We ordered from the full dinner menu,,but we were there at early bird hours..Just about all customers were older folks but it was very dark inside like we were there for romancing, that's not what they look for at that age..why not a lit up and bright place? My friend's Veal Marsala was excellent, so was starter pasta fagioli ,so was my glass of Montepulciano..but the Carbonara was as thick as paste, cream should be a little runny on Alfredo style dishes,it was not not really satisfying.SERVER WAS GREAT,,SHE WAS POLITE,,PROMPT ,ACCOMMODATING,(name was Katy I believe) bread was also good. I'd rather have olive oil than butter.I will go back,,but I will be a little picky about what I am ordering..

I was not expecting the inside of this restaurant to be decorated so nicely. The ambience was very nice. Food and service was great. I would definitely go back again next time I'm in Surfside.
