Second time eating here. Decided on a pepperoni pizza pie. It was very good once again. Good hearty slices. The server was attentive. Two complaints: 1) The Chef didn’t put enough pepperoni. 2) The rest room needed attention. It was dirty. Overall the pizza was good and the price was right.

I visited here last week and it was delicious. Authentic Italian cuisine with a hint of New Jersey influence. The service was excellent — our waitress was friendly, attentive and spot-on with her dining recommendations. We tried several dishes, but the Pasta Fagioli soup(pronounced«fazool» as the menu helpfully points out), Toni Salad(with pepperoni, salami, ham, prov, mozz, etc), Chicken Marsala and Tortellini Di Pasquale, which our waitress recommended, were amazing. The pasta fazool was some of the best I’ve had, the salad fresh and flavorful, the marsala sauce was amazing, but the tortellini dish was my favorite — the light cream sauce was delicate yet full of flavor and I loved the fresh tomato and basil. I will definitely go back.

Let’s keep removing stars. Called Valentino the other night at EIGHT to order a pizza and was told that they can’t deliver because they are backed up even though they close at NINE. So WRONG.

We absolutely LOVE Valentinos. Great family atmosphere with friendly service. Highly recommend. Best pizza in Sarasota.

Walked in and nobody acknowledged us. No hostess at the front. Workers from the back had to call the girls to go to the front to seat us. Waitress didnt welcome us or introduce herself. Calamari appetizer came after 15 minutes and it was cold and looked like it has been frozen. We were given no napkins or extra plates, no parmesean or red pepper flakes. Pizza was sub par, no flavor, extremely greasy(just like the garlic knots which were soaking in butter sauce). Not to mention the lady who asked if she could take a chair from our table and ended up sitting out front next to our table talking about how she felt sick and was about to hurl right in front of us. Would not recommend!

Quickly cooked, Delicious food, and great friendly service. There’s a laid back, but classy vibe here and we will definitely be returning. I ordered the spicy chicken alfredo with roasted red peppers — so yummy! I also ate a cannoli for dessert. The filling is a little sweeter than I’d prefer, but still delectable!

Best pizza in the area. The cold eggplant and arugula pizza is excellent. Wish the craft beer selection was better, which is why during the weekend we get out food«to go».

First time order. Delivery was hot, food was fresh. Tortellini in Brodo was a favorite. Juicy and flavorful meatballs and sweet ricotta were definitely made in-house, but not advertised as such(a wonderful surprise!). Fresh bread came free with order. Good crust. Carne Amore pizza was exactly what it was advertised as, but because we couldn’t put down the meatballs, soups and salads, we couldn’t finish the pizza like we would elsewhere!

Overall a solid dinner spot but nothing special. The food was good — some pasta dishes and pizzas for the group and the service was also good. Biggest disappointment was the lack of beverage options. The Italian food deserves many options for drink but here you are pretty much stuck with the standard drafts and a few house wine options. I wouldn’t go out of my way to get there again but its location in the shopping plaza is convenient.

Great food, intermittent service, painful noise level. They need a few more servers and some noise control measures. As noisy as this place is, their University Parkway location is even noisier.

We had lunch there yesterday and had very good pizza by the slice. We had to get back to work to prepare for the potential tropical storm that was heading toward Florida. Service was fast when we requested that. Consistently good Italian food and service.

Wonderful service… tasty food… but a bit noisey. We had the Cioppino… cooked to perfection… Veal Francaise… tender and just the right tangy taste. I was underwhelmed with the garlic rolls. to much garlic… over powering. This is a popular local place… get there early or wait on line.

We aren’t locals and decided to try this place after finding it on Unilocal and heading back from the beach. I really liked the atmosphere, and our server was great. The food, however, was MUCHMUCHMUCH too salty! Honestly none of us could finish our food because it was too much. And we’re the kind of people who aren’t really picky– so this is saying something. My food was so strong that I couldn’t even tell if my cheese was just sharp or rancid– and I eat MANY different kinds of cheese! To be honest, it was really a disappointment as we were all hungry from the beach and wanted a good meal before our drive home.

I am traveling for business. I ordered to go on Monday night and it was so good I ordered again on Wednesday They got my order wrong on Wednesday and I was extremely pleased with the way that they worked so hard to make it up to me. I will absolutely return and tell my friends Great Zuppa de pesche! I haven’t tried the tiramisu yet. TBC

I’ve had hit or miss experiences here so three stars meets in the middle. Once I had a generous portion of the most perfectly cooked, crisp breading… moist cheese, tender eggplant rollatini. My mouth waters thinking about it right now. It was a momentous occasional in culinary delight. Another time the same eggplant rollatini was dry, burnt and sad. I couldn’t have literally shed a tear for that one diamond in the rough experience of rollatini amazement. Service has always been pleasant but brought friends here once and it was one of the off days, I was totally embarrassed! Where’s my rollatini!?!
