Clearwater​のベストイタリアンレストラン

Really great spot for Italian food. It is a bit loud so can be hard to have a conversation. Food was excellent very fresh and we enjoyed bruschetta with whipped ricotta cheese as a starter. Make sure to make reservations in advance as it does get busy! We didn't have a pizza but they looked amazing and it was fun watching them be made.

I have come several times and continue to be amazing with the authenticity of the food and the art and create that goes into each dish. Everything i have tried on the menu is absolutely amazing. This place has become one of my top favorite restaurants of all time. We will be coming again soon.

We had our anniversary dinner here. GREAT food!!!! I could eat just off the appetizer menu options!! (Maybe next time :-). Last night, We had lobster ravioli and then sauce with mussels, clams, scallops, shrimp….! Service is very quick…as soon as I finished my ice tea, someone was there with a new one (like they read my mind!!). We felt their prices are very good and we will eat there again soon! Thank You!!!

It was our first time dining at Valentino Ristorante Italiano but it will certainly not be our last time. We were warmly greeted the moment we stepped inside the understated yet elegant interior. We immediately knew this was not going to be a “typical” Italian dining experience. Once seated, the staff were abundant, attentive, accommodating and genuinely friendly. In fact, after expressing our delight over the vongole appetizer (clams), our server brought the chef, Ciro Mancini, to our table so we could share our thoughts and compliments with him directly. With so many delicious options on the menu, we were challenged to make a selection. We opted for the Fettucine Bolognese to enjoy as an appetizer (along with the clams) and felt satisfied we had made an excellent choice. The fresh pasta was al dente and the sauce was complex and rich enhancing,but not overpowering, the wagyu beef. We followed up with Zuppa Di Pesce, served in a bowl loaded with a fresh assortment of seafood. Thankfully it came with crostini to absorb the delicious broth and because it was so tasty we moved on to dipping in with the bread we were served upon being seated. Our server recommended the Veal Marsala and it did not disappoint. The sauce was full bodied and the mushrooms were firm and flavorful. Perhaps the best we’ve ever had! The dessert menu was limited and if we hadn’t overindulged on the other dishes we had ordered, we might have opted to try one. Perhaps on our next visit we will better pace ourselves, if possible, so we can sample their sweet offerings. Overall, we had a wonderful meal in a tastefully elegant setting with great service. Now that’s AMORE!

Went for lunch. Very nice family run restaurant. The staff are very kind and attentive. We were really happy with our service. We tried the salad, fish and chips and steak and cheese sandwich. All were good. The standout probably was the steak and cheese. I think this is one of their top lunch items. We ordered dessert. They have incredible gelato. We had hazelnut. It was very good. Reminded me of Cristinos nearby. Some of the best gelato in the area for sure. It’s a hidden gem. I think more people need to know about this place
