VALENTINO PIZZERIA TRATTORIA

My favorite is the gluten-free pizza. Absolutely delicious!

I can’t believe it took me this long to try this place. Coming from New Haven , CT pizza, I’ve been less than impressed with the pizza around here. This place has the best pizza by far. They also have the best cannoli I’ve ever had and amazing chicken parm. That’s all I’ve tried so far and everything exceeded my expectations. Their prices are excellent as well with a wide menu selection. Everything tasted authentic and not frozen. This will be my new go-to place.

Loooove Valentino!!! Best pizza in town and their customer service is TOP!!! One of our family's favorite.

Excellent Italian restaurant..good food and good service...Pizza is awesome as well as pasta dishes...

While living in Sarasota, Florida, for 7 years, Valentinos became our go-to restaurant not only for the DELICIOUS food but also for the genuinely friendly atmosphere and staff. The owner and his family are sincerely devoted to providing true Italian meals that are so so yummy! Both locations (Clark Road and UTC) offer a wide range of selections--hubby's favorite is the lasagna. Mine the penne ala vodka, and of course pizza. We celebrated family birthdays and other occasions at Valentinos and were never disappointed. The prices are reasonable and well worth the ample (large) portions. Since moving to Chesapeake, Virginia, last year, we are still searching for an Italian restaurant as good as Valentinos, but so far none found. We're hoping that Valentinos will open a third restaurant...here!

Server was the only good part Of our visit. We go to University a lot over the years . This was our first visit to Clark location. First the new smaller salads are a waste. Just take away or make bigger and charge something . The dinner portions are also smaller . I ordered the chicken dish with cherry peppers included , I requested long hots instead ( like always) the server said extra charge . I agreed. The dish came out with two very very small peppers in a circle. A joke. I complained that I was paying extra for long hots and asked to speak with a manager. Someone came out 10 minutes later food got cold waiting . She said she was the GM. She had a very nasty attitude and was very defensive . Never saying she was sorry. Basically what I got was it and I had to pay extra. She was an embarrassing manager. I am from NJ and always loved that a Jersey guy owned Valentinos . But this so called GM will end our family visits. The owner should suspend this GM or send her to manager classes . The pasta sause was also blah not the same as past. Clark road could not hold a candle to University! Shame on you! In response to the owners reply… I NEVER raised my voice to your GM ! In Fact the server apologized for your GM’s attitude. I was with my doctor and his wife who both told your GM she was out of line. Customers next to us even laughed at your GM. We treated our server with Total respect. We are professional people and never argued . Your GM should not talk to customers … maybe she can manage from office. I understand you have to support her. As far as owners policy about Long Hots ..you did not see the two small pieces . I have enjoyed your long hots for years and I know what they look like. This was not what I was charged extra for… all she had to do was say we are sorry and added a real long hot or two but she decided to stand firm. Silly

Pizza...garlic rolls....pasta! Great service!

Very good food
