Valentina's

Valentina’s has a lovely interior and at least while we were dining was quite a bustling place with easily 150 diners inside. The food was quite good, I especially thought the pizza was good with an airy crust and my eggplant parm was both soft and crispy which I enjoyed. A few misses: my pasta had tasted like it had been sitting out for awhile, it was flavorful but a bit rubbery. We ordered a second round of drinks to enjoy with our entrees but they came after we finished our entrees despite asking for them twice. I thought they could have comped the drinks or at minimum apologized for/acknowledged their tardiness but they did not. Our server was somewhat attentive and kept asking what else she could bring us but failed to deliver the things we had already ordered and didn’t manage expectations well.

Cute Italian restaurant, good vibes, good service! I really couldn’t decide what I wanted on the menu, there were so many good choices to pick from but I went with a pesto shrimp pasta dish. It was good! Nothing crazy amazing, but it was enjoyable. I think I would order something else if I went back. The people I went with liked their dishes too. The focaccia bread they bring out in the beginning is super good. It was my husband’s birthday and they gave him a free dessert of his choosing, he chose the chocolate cake. No frosting, but very dense and moist.

We chose here to celebrate our 25th anniversary and it was a great experience overall. Great meal, service and atmosphere. Our server Brian was very attentive and friendly, the manager was also very welcoming and friendly. We had reservations and the restaurant was very busy so it’s highly recommended you do the same. They were slightly behind but we were fine waiting and loved our table by the window. It was a lovely evening appetizers to dessert. Thank you, we will be back.

I threw together a last-minute family get together for my husband’s birthday. The staff here were fantastic. We are a loud boisterous family that enjoy being together and you can definitely do that at Valentina’s! They provide private dining areas for large groups. I’m so thankful they had a reservation available for us!!

What a fun experience! We sat at the kitchen bar and that was great getting to see then make pizzas! The waiter was awesome... I highly recommend this place but i also would recommend reservations or changing it like we did and getting to sit at the kitchen bar.

Valentina’s was a decent Italian restaurant near the bridge park. Their room was splendid with a great bar and patio. Service was amazing and WiFi was fast. Happy hour and lunch menu were available with great selections and prices. We ordered several items in the happy hour menu. This is my first time to try the beef carpaccio which was impressive as an appetizer. It tasted a little bland but fresh and flavorful with nuts. The signature marinara meatball tasted authentic but a little thick. The pizza was freshly baked with decent cheese. Free bread was given with olive oil. The mozzarella sharing plate was decently sweet and smooth. The pizza and meatball were not as impressive as the beef carpaccio.

Besides finding a hair on my appetizers (Arancini stuffed rice balls) it was a good place to dine . I still went ahead and ordered a plate of Salmon which was good and no problems with that plate. Thankful that the manager did not charge me for that appetizer. The waitress was so nice, I see the comments saying that this place discriminates, but as a Lesbian Mexican Couple we were treated very nicely and we had a good Anniversary dinner.

The first time trying this place was at Christmas time when I was home last. It was a great meal with my family that had me really looking forward to my next trip home for a return trip. We came here on my last night in town before flying back home the next day and food, as always, was phenomenal. My mom got the shrimp oregonata as her meal after loving it last trip and it was equally as good this time around, my dad got the shrimp scampi that was on special that Friday and loved it, I got the cacio e pepe and my sister got the salmon dish because she has a hard time ordering other dishes because of how much she loves this one. We also got the bruschetta appetizer that was really delicious. Lastly, their Caesar salad is the best in town. I have dreams about these croutons! I loved my dad’s Italian margarita and I got the Valentini and will absolutely order it again. My sister got the blueberry lemon dessert and I had to try the tiramisu, both excellent. Our service was a bit lacking this time and that was a bit of a bummer because we remember how great our service was at Christmas. Won’t deter us from coming back but our server was a bit lacking.

Celebrated my baby sister's 21st birthday at Valentina's and we had a great time! Cameron Mitchell delivers once again! Top notch service! Our server was very attentive and made her feel very special. We were given 2 plates of the complimentary focaccia bread, which was freshly baked and paired beautifully with the olive oil. We ordered the veal meatball to share, which was a table favorite for sure. The meatball was so flavorful and had a nice subtle kick to it. For our main course, we ordered 4 dishes. Our server offered us a myriad of substitutions/changes if we so chose, but we declined most, opting to have the dishes as intended. But, we really appreciated how open the kitchen was to any changes. To start with, we had the lamb gnudi- this was so unique, the lamb was tender and dish was so delectably creamy! The gnudi were so soft like little pillows. The veal pappardelle was so hearty and filling. The bucatini and clams- we were offered shrimp with it, which was the right move. The dish was buttery but also with a slight kick. The seafood was perfect with it. And finally, the chicken parm. This was the most standard of the 4 main courses, but no less fantastic. We were all very full from apps and dinner, but given that it was my sister's birthday, she received a complimentary dessert. She got the tiramisu, which was a solid classic tiramisu. The only thing we would have liked with the tiramisu was more even soaking of the ladyfingers. Half was perfectly soaked, the other half was on the dry side. Otherwise, a wonderful tiramisu overall. The marscapone was perfect consistency. Overall, we loved our dinner here, and we are very glad to have tried it out. Looking forward to being back!

If you're craving Italian, or a delicious meal with a prime aesthetic in general, you need to make Valentina's your next stop! Their service is phenomenal & they'll make sure you have an incredible experience and wonderful meal! The Spicy Radiatori is absolutely unreal! The pancetta and marinara with the spice is the perfect pasta flavor & adding the meatball is the game changer to making this meal absolute perfection!! need to get an uber refreshing cocktail as an accompaniment to your incredible meal; and this is guaranteed to be a wonderful experience! Go stop on by soon!

This restaurant almost earned five stars from me. He came here to celebrate two birthdays and we had a wonderful evening and excellent excellence. You may wonder why it didn't get five stars, so I will start out with that. You came with a person who has Parkinson's and a walk getting out of the car and walking does not have ballet and when people pull up to it it's on a busy street and on a short street corner. Parking directly outside the restaurant isn't very effective. Parking around the corner makes it very hard for anybody to go around the corner. There's no valet so you can't just get out of your car and have somebody park your car which would've been the ideal situation and lack of valet is the only reason why this location does not get a five star rating for me When you enter the aesthetics are wonderful it just has great lighting. Beautiful chandelier is a lovely bar that has booths and regular tables. The booth are quite comfortable and roomy easily fitting six people. We had a reservation. I'm unsure why we were put out a booth. I'm sure that was due to the person who made the reservation and didn't clarify we needed a table so getting the person Parkinson's into the booth was a bit of a challenge. However, as I said, they have plenty of chairs and seating accommodate a handicap. Person would've been no problem. Had we just explained that our large party needed a table completely on our fault. The server stored our guest walker, so they didn't hinder the aesthetic with the dining room nor pose a problem which we appreciate appreciated We ordered a couple appetizers: veal meatball, muscles and arancini. I'm not sure which was the best all excellent. The meatball is huge definitely enough for six people to have a little taste. The entrees we ordered were: swordfish, lasagna, pasta with clams, eggplant parm, and a salad with blackened shrimp. The eggplant was huge. Was devoured with lots of "this is delicious", same with the clam dish. The swordfish plates weird. The huge plate makes it look small but I assure you, its filling and also delicious, the lasagna... meh. The salad is more a large side salad- I added shrimp. If it wasnt for the complimentary bread I would have still been very hungry from just the salad. However it did taste good. We got three desserts: tiramisu, chocolate cake and lemon tart. All excellent. The tiramisu is huge enough for two, three people. Truly enjoyed are dinner. Thomisina was our server. Highly recommend her, too. She was very attentive and fun. Excellent service all around. Will go back.

We came for my birthday because I wanted mussels and enjoyed some delicious food. Everything was very good, the vibes are cute, I was able to get a cute cocktail. Our waitress was absolutely adorable and took incredible care of us. If I had to comment on anything, it felt very crowded. We were sitting at a table by the window, and I felt like I was sitting in the tables next to ours, laps.

We came here to celebrate our friends birthday, and it was the right choice taking in consideration that it was a special occasion, once we entered to the restaurant, everything was clean and the decoration is precious, the service, starting for the host is really good. We sat down. We had a couple drinks and some appetizers, fried calamari, deep fried risotto and we had complementary bread with olive oil, everything tasted good. Then we ordered our food and for my family we ordered the calzone , pasta à la vodka with chicken and a pizza. The only dish that actually highlighted the evening was the pasta la vodka, the calzone, and the pizza were just average, and to be honest, I was expecting an explosion of flavor, but this wasn't the occasion. I would love to have something else to say about this restaurant, but to be honest, it wasn't anything spectacular judging by the prices you are paying.

I could not have been more impressed with my family's dining experience at Valentina's. First off this restaurant is gorgeous and the ambiance was lively and perfect for a date night or a nice dinner with friends or family. Our waitress Shenita was the best waiter we have ever had. She created such a special experience for my parent's birthday by providing great recommendations and overall being so kind. Lastly, the food was so delicious. Everything we had was fantastic. The bread was so good we got two baskets. If you like calamari definitely get the frito misto. The meatball appetizer and the spicy radiatori were our top favorites. We can't wait to go back again soon! 12/10!

Upper scale restaurant. Higher end. Food is really good. I got the carbonara pasta with grilled chicken. Delicious. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and ambiance. Service was excellent.

Valentina's is my favorite restaurant in Bridge Park. The ambiance is very upscale and decadent. The food is delicious. I was let down by the service this time around. It seemed like our waitress really wanted to be done with her shift and wanted to get out of there. Within the span of 10 minutes, she came up to our table asking what we would like to eat for our main course, when we had just got done looking at the drink menu and were looking at appetizers. When it came time to box our meals, it was like she had a sigh of relief and had them boxed with our check within the minute. It just felt rushed when we wanted to get drinks, eat, and catch up with the rest of our group. This restaurant is expensive, so rushing us through our meal felt disrespectful. Unfortunately, I am a sucker for the food, so I will be back!

Fabulous Fabulous food. Hands down. Everything was fresh and so flavorful. This is the 3rd time I have visited and it only gets better. If you are a tea drinker I highly recommend getting a cup of tea. It was the best cup I have ever had.

Business meeting held at Valentina's and the service was on point. Fresh bread was sitting ready for us, dipped in olive oil and fresh cracked pepper hit the spot. The eggplant Parmesan with Alfredo instead of Marina was absolutely the best Italian dish that I have ever had. Make sure you get the meatball for an appetizer. You're not going to go wrong. Schedule your date night now!

For starters, the space is beautiful! Both the indoor and outdoor dining areas are tastefully decorated and very warm and inviting. My group of four was lucky to get a space on their patio. We made our reservation through OpenTable, which I recommend doing because even on a weeknight, they are busy! The service is impeccable. Some of the friendliest and attentive staff I've seen at a restaurant yet. I tried the Hugo cocktail which was my fave when I used to live in Europe. It was tart and refreshing. For my meal I went with the goat cheese ravioli and it was delectable and an excellent portion. I also loved the fresh bread that accompanied the meal. 5/5 stars!

Finally checked Valentina's off my bucket list tonight with my family! It was our first time, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The Bridge Park location is perfect, and the ambiance was beautiful. The food was high quality, our server gave great recommendations, and the price point was super reasonable. Service was warm and well-paced. Can't wait to come back, definitely eyeing the pizza next time! This time I went for the Hugo Spritz and Spicy Radiatori!

This place was so cute and had the best chicken parm I've ever had. This definitely gave me an upscale Italian kitchen vibe. It felt cozy but also posh inside. The patio had those cute French bistro chairs and tables. We did sit inside and everything about the interior was pretty. There were multiple very clean all gender restrooms which was a nice touch. Our table had the aranchni, shrimp oreganatta, bruschetta and chicken parm. Everything was rich in flavor and very fresh. For desserts we had the lemon sorbet which was absolutely amazing and an affogato. Our server was warm and attentive. Overall just a great experience. I actually cannot wait to get back here.

Valentina's is a family favorite and on this visit two granddaughters birthday celebration destination. Our granddaughters will tell you the buttered noodles are the best. Our discovery is everything on the menu we ordered is worthy of praise. Portions are generous and well prepared. Have to recognize the staff for making sure allergy issues are addressed and food is safe for everyone. Our server Melyn made for a perfect visit. Visiting from Florida, we have always enjoyed dining at Valentina's.

I came here for a work dinner. The interior is beautiful and I loved that we got to sit in our own little room. We were quite a large bunch but it felt cozy. Menu is expansive. I was surprised at the versatility. My meal was excellent and so were the appetizers. Though members of my party weren't as thrilled with theirs. The salmon was a little over cooked and cold, per my boss. But my experience was excellent. I loved my meal, I appreciated the attentiveness of the staff, and I loved the zero proof cocktail offerings. I'm only deducting a star based on the experience of multiple people in my party. I would still recommend trying this restaurant if you are in town or need somewhere for a large group.

Best pepperoni pizza and Caesar salad that I have had in a long time!!! Everything was fresh and service was excellent. I highly recommend this place. The restaurant was welcoming and had a great atmosphere along with friendly staff. When I travel I try to find great pizza places and this one wins hands down.

I made a reservation for lunch on a December weekday about 30 minutes before we arrived. My party of 3 was sat right away. Service was excellent throughout our meal. I ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese which was delicious. The burrata on top mixed into my pasta nicely. The whole dish was warm and filling - perfect for a cold December day. We also enjoyed desserts. I enjoyed the Brûléed Lemon Tart - the crunch from the brûlée and the blueberry sauce was great.

Came on a Thursday at 3:00 pm and the restaurant was nearly empty. Our server did a great job checking in, but making sure not to too often. The ambiance is perfect for a date night or even an intimate lunch. I wish I could remember our server's name, as she was truly wonderful. She explained the menu throughly, guiding us with possible pairings, substitutions, and additions. The complementary bread is phenomenal. The flaky salt on top is my favorite. I am not usually a huge chicken parmesan fan, but I had heard from several people that it was one of their best menu items. Boy did they steer me in the right direction! It was cooked perfectly, thin and crispy. I love that it comes with both a marinara and alfredo sauce. Perfection!

I came here for a birthday lunch and everything was wonderful! I had the bucatini and clams and it was so delicious. Highly recommend! The complimentary bread was tasty, but I do wish they provided more than just olive oil to dip it in. Also the water cups are very small, so we had to refill our cups a lot. Nice ambiance and decor. Would definitely come back.

Horrible. Not often I go there but our take out dinner was absolutely horrible. The cheesy garlic bread was so greasy it dripped off my chin when I took a bite. The spaghetti sauce (marinara) was a little overly sweet compared to other times we've eaten there. I would not recommend take out.

Great place! Came in for lunch on a Thursday. Asked for a table in the back and that's exactly where they put me. Really classy ambiance, though the music was a bit loud for this old man. Got through my business meeting okay nonetheless. Read a review about the Chicken Parm so I had to try it. For the second time in 2 days, and never before, it was served over pasta in an Alfredo sauce. The whole dish was delicious! The chicken was perfectly prepared with a nice layer of cheese and fresh mozzarella with marinara on top. The penne pasta in the Alfredo sauce was really good as well. I LOVE a good red sauce, but this may be my new go to!

Wonderful time for my birthday dinner tonight. I got the bruschetta and the pasta carbonara. Everything was delicious!! Of course birthday called for a free dessert - had to go with the tiramisu. It was homemade. Some of the pastas are made in house as well!! This is a great place to go to celebrate a special occasion. Highly recommend making a reservation on the weekends.

Food was very tasty but the service was unacceptable. Took 30 minutes to get an order of soft drinks and another 30 minutes for food. Server was pleasant and said kitchen was behind but management needs to step up. Ambiance way to noisy.

We came here on a beautiful Spring evening and decided to sit outside on their patio. The service was excellent. My dirty martini was prepared very well, and my wife liked her wine as well. For appetizers we got their meatball -- I loved it, my wife thought it was okay. For dinner we shared their prosciutto pizza. It was quite good. It was also huge. he two of us brought leftovers home.

I've seen a lot of hype about Valentina's and the 3 hour wait limit speaks to the hype even more. Thankfully we had a reservation and were promptly seated at 6:30. Valentina's has a very cozy vibe, even while being packed out. We celebrated our 5th anniversary at a little table for two and our waitress Marissa H. took great care of us! We had the meatball, burrata, chicken parm, lasagna, and finished the night with a delicious tiramisu. Everything was excellent. The flavors were on point, very well balanced. Also their bread is out of this world, the freshest focaccia I've had that didn't come from my own kitchen. I can't pick a favorite dish because it was all so good, but I will say I could probably live off of their meatballs. Honestly this was such a great experience I'm already planning my next visit; from start to finish 10s across the board.

Today was an effort to give Valentina a second chance since unfortunately, the first time wasn't great. Here's where I stand at this point. Beautiful restaurant in the fun area of Bridgepark. The service was friendly and professional. However, it's the food that's just not memorable. None of us at my table were impressed with what we ordered. I usually rave about Cameron Mitchell's restaurants, but this one the food just isn't great. I honestly don't see myself coming back. There are just way better restaurants out there. In fact, his other Italian restaurants are better. Read through the other reviews and you will see this is a common complaint. I wish him all the best with this space, but I feel if they don't make some changes with the taste of this menu, it won't last very long.

Valentina's is located at Bridge Park in Dublin. Located in walking distance to the Mooney Parking Garage (free to park). The restaurant is packed tight with tables throughout. Very, very loud in the dining area and bar. We were lucky enough to get a table in the corner behind the bar, and it was very quiet. Facing out towards the bridge providing some great views. Ok, let's get back to the food and experience. The service and staff seemed very stressed and lacked compassion and details. Example, sat down at the table, and there were table settings that were removed, and too many were taken. It took several asks to finally get the extra place setting. One person ordered their cocktail, but the rest of the table didn't get a chance to get it in before the server walked away. That set the tone for the entire less than steller experience. Bathrooms are co-ed and towards the back of the restaurant after walking past small pathways in between tables. The bathroom was not clean, but a lot of individual rooms provided more privacy. The main dining area and bar seemed loud and not quaint or private if that is what you would expect. The food. Okay, this is a Cameron Mitchell restaurant, and only the best is what I expect. The food flavors and execution were spot on. Perfectly seasoned and cooked. I left satisfied. The prices and quality met its match. The espresso martini was cold and perfectly shaken to a crisp, stiff cocktail of pure deliciousness. Highly recommended. I can't put my finger on it, but I wasn't wowed, and I need to experience it again, and then I can truly get a good review out. The thing is, I am not sure I would be craving to go back anytime soon.

Hope they can sort out the servers arrangement a little bit better. I was waited for 20 mins before someone come by and get greet for the first time. Otherwise, I love the atmosphere along with the superb food. Minestrone | Served in the mini cast iron pot. The broth is light and filled with hearty veggies. Chicken Parmesan | Love the creamy alfredo sauce with the rigatoni. Breaded chicken breast is perfectly cooked and infused with the marinara sauce and cheese Tiramisu | Topped of the dinner with a nice piece of tiramisu. Super creamy and the ratio of coffee flavor is just right

We had another good meal here. The arrancini was very good as was the burata. The spaghetti and meatball was very good, with one huge, tender and tasty meatball. Our ladies split the radiatori and the pear salad and they would order both again. My son had the lasagna and it was very good. I had the Delmonico steak and it was very good, only complaint is that is was closer to medium than medium rare for my liking but still very good with lots of butter as a nice enhancement. Our service was a little slow but not because of our server, she was very busy handling many tables that seemed to get sat all at the same time. The restaurant has a cool vibe overall and was very busy. So we will definitely go back but I haven't found that must order dish yet but lots of very good options and the pizzas looked good so maybe I'll try that next.

This is a beautiful chic Italian restaurant in the heart of Dublin. The ambiance is very inviting with the lighting, music, sound, and decor. The decor and interior design really gives you a feel of Italy but in Columbus! The staff were so friendly and attentive to us all throughout to make sure we had an amazing experience. This is a lovely place to either go out on a date, enjoy a birthday dinner, or even a cute girl's night out dinner. The food presentation was stunning. Food was tasty and pasta cooked to the perfect texture, but my only complaint was that every dish was a bit too salty for our table's liking. Haha we were so thirsty afterwards! I would love to go back and try it again because I've heard it's been better. It's a bit on the pricier end but I definitely recommend checking out this place out at least once!

My first time to Valentina's, at first sight it's beautiful inside, lots of great ambiance. Came at 8 on Thursday and the place was crowded, and it gets loud for sure. Being a Cameron Mitchell I'm always excited that I can get gf bread, but it took about 30 minutes to get to us. We ordered a straccietella mozzarella appetizer and still didn't have bread to eat with it, but our waitress (who was lovely and really friendly) was very busy with other tables. The Manhattan cocktail was superb. Lots of nice drink choices. The mozzarella starter was pretty good, dressed nicely with pistachios. I ordered the cacio e Pepe pasta, gf. Really good flavor, but so much cheese in the dish, I wished it had some tomatoes or fresh veggie to break it up. My bf ordered the ribeye and it was cooked well. However the escarole broccoli side was so soaked in garlic sauce it was spicy and barely edible. Just too dressed. We got the bruleed lemon tart which was my favorite part of the meal, the sugared blueberries paired so nice with the tartness of the lemons, could've used some more. So overall, a pretty good dinner, but not my favorite CM restaurant. Probably will come back, but not rushing to do so.

I have been to Valentina's a couple of times and had great experiences both times. The hostess was super friendly and our server was excellent. I had their version of linguine with clams sauce and it was wonderful. My husband had chicken Parmesan and loved it as well. I went for my birthday with a party of seven and we all enjoyed it very much. The ambiance is amazing just as one would expect from a Cameron Mitchell restaurant.

I have been wanting to try Valentina's since it opened since my favorite Cameron Mitchell restaurants are Marcella's and Martinis and I was finally able to check it out last night! The overall aesthetic of the restaurant is fun and slightly upscale. I feel like you could go there for a nice dinner out, girls night, or something more casual. The gender neutral restrooms are great as they each have their own individual sink and mirror area. Also loved the Italian vibes of the music and decor. We started off with the Arancini which is amazing, as well as the bread. I got the Cacio de Pepe. My husband got a Caesar Salad and a cheese pizza. One thing to note is that it did not have sauce, which was different but still good. Everything was fantastic and our server Parker was also phenomenal. Definitely recommend and will be back!

Love Cameron Mitchell's just not this one. Atmosphere and service was great as all Cameron Mitchell's are . The food was not that Chicken was not cooked and the exacution on the other items just wasn't there. Really disappointed because it was not an easy table to get. Only Cameron Mitchell I have not enjoyed as of yet.

SUPER nice italian restauraunt. I have visited here on several occasions and have tried several of the dishes. I always get the brut rose, which is super yummy. Not too dry, flavorful with just the right amount of bite. The ambiance and decor is beautiful, a little on the heavy old-world style italian for my liking, but beautiful for sure. Few of my favs here - the pear & gorgonzola salad, the margarita pizza, the lasagna for sure! Great date night spot to have some dinner and go for a romantic stroll afterwards down by the scenic scioto mile bridge.

I've been to Valentina's about a dozen times, sometimes bar service and sometimes table service. Each experience has been exceptional from service to the food. I highly recommend the fresh mozzarella dishes, pizza, arancini, chicken parm, veal ragú, grilled cheese panini, chicken Milanese, spicy radiatori, and the lemon tart.

Had dinner here the other night with friends and had a good time. It has a pretty decor and small patio along the side . I had the veal pappardelle which was something alittle different but was really good. Our waiter , Parker was very friendly and helpful. We will be back again

Wow! Valentina's at Bridge Park is GORGEOUS! I absolutely loved my experience this week during restaurant week. I made a reservation for four of us and we were seated a high top. Our waitress was very nice but overdid it a tad with calling us friends. For restaurant week it was 3 courses for $35 and they were all amazing. Well first off the bread was so yummy with oil, red pepper flakes and parmigiana cheese. I got Caesar salad for my first course. It came with Romaine, Focaccia Croutons, Creamy Lemon Garlic Dressing, Parmigiano Reggiano. My main course was by far my favorite and I got to try my step dad's meatball as pictured below. I got Chicken Parmesan with House-made Rigatoni, Alfredo, Marinara. It was so yummy and I would get it every time I come back but want to try so many more items. The meatball was huge but not my favorite. I definitely prefer the Chicken Parmesan. The biggest surprise for me was how good the Brûléed Lemon Tart with Blueberry Sauce was. I didn't expect that combination to be so complementary. I definitely recommend it if you were looking for something sweet and tart. I'm going to be making a reservation soon to come back and try more items on the menu.

I enjoyed everything I hate at Valentina's last night! I ate the caesar salad, italian salad Braised lamb gnudi (the sauce was genuinely seasoned to perfection), and the Rigatoni bolognese (overall this was the better pasta compared to the lamb). Bryan was our server and he did a great job taking care of us and making sure we felt right at home! If you can I would recommend you to ask for him to serve because he gives good insight and can help you find something you will enjoy to eat. There was two things I did not enjoy about Valentina's 1.) is how crowded it was. I felt like they added too much seating. 2.) the beef carpaccio was relatively bland in my opinion. Other than that I had a great experience and would come back!

Food was delicious. The pasta was cooked well and everything came out piping hot. The dressing on the Caesar salad was some of the best I have ever had. The experience was far from what we were expecting, especially for a CMR. I made a reservation about a month in advance via phone as the website wasn't working. The individual taking the call asked if we were celebrating anything and I mentioned it was a birthday, yet there was no mention of that while we were dining. I also very specifically requested a table in the main part of the restaurant, yet we were seated in the bar area. It was so loud we could barely hear eachother, and the temperature inside was so hot we couldn't enjoy our meals. The sun coming in through the open doors paired with the noise from the sidewalk bar right outside made it uncomfortable and awkward. Our server was nice, but seemed to be scattered all over the restaurant and barely focused on the couple tables she had in our section. It was so crammed in there that we were constantly getting bumped into by people walking by or having to slide in our seats for the servers to get by with big trays of food. Overall, very disappointed in the experience here. We heard great things and were excited to celebrate a birthday here, but would have rather found a quiet local resturaunt where we were more than just a number.

Went for NYE with friends and had a fantastic experience! Beautifully decorated inside, located in Bridge Park making parking easy and convenient. Our server was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable on the menu and didn't rush us but made sure all needs were met. The food itself was amazing (as were the drinks). We split the meatball, burratta, and bruschetta - all were fantastic! I got the chicken Parmesan- the piece of chicken was very large and perfectly cooked. The rigatoni pasta underneath was also delicious. Several people in our group got the carbonara with the breaded chicken on the side which was a huge hit!

During a little 2 day getaway in Dublin Ohio (just outside of Columbus) we did a lot of walking to acquaint ourselves with the community. During one of our strolls we happened upon this very attractive restaurant called Valentina's. It looked cute, and we were working up an appetite so we decided to give them a try. We entered, without a reservation, and they were very accommodating. A pleasant young lady was quite cordial and seated us quickly at a nice window table with a wonderful view. The establishment was very roomy and nicely appointed. Upon scanning the menu it became quite apparent they had an excellent selection of both food and beverage. The wine list included several nice vintages including a Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand as well as a very nice Sangiovese. The food selection was extensive and quite enticing. My wife immediately noticed the Cacio e Pepe which she ordered without a second thought. It was very nicely done. I was intrigued by the Stracciatella with marmalade and pistachios which was served with crisp crostini and was quite marvelous. We followed our meal with Affogato and coffee. I must say, I was not sure what to expect at first but I was very pleasantly surprised. If you ever find yourself in the Dublin area I highly recommend you give them a try.

What a great spot for happy hour! Great service and ambience. Group of seven, with reservations, were well attended to and kept well hydrated . Ordered mostly appetizers and a couple of dinners for the table to share. Outstanding pizzas! Highly recommend for your next trip to Bridge Park!

I've been wanting to try this place since it opened. I finally got a chance to try it. When I walked in the staff was very friendly and outgoing. Even though I didn't have a reservation they made sure that me and my guest was seated promptly. We started off with some great appetizers, we tried the arancini balls and Focaccia Bread was awesome. and then ordered our main entrees. The pepperoni pizza was phenomenal, I added banana peppers and it again was amazing! My guest for the Rigatoni with Chicken, they throughly enjoyed their meal. If you are looking for a nice place to enjoy some good food, with a great atmosphere, look no further!

The food was absolutely phenomenal our waiter was amazing and the restaurant looked very fancy and nice. Definitely recommend and will be going back.

I love bridge park and was so excited to see another restaurant opening! The outside decor is so cute and they have the best patio. When it first opened it was super busy and a little tricky to get a reservation - not sure if that's that still the case since they've been open for a little while now. We were still able to snag a reservation on a Friday night and sat on the patio while it was still warm. We ordered an aperol spritz and rum and coke to drink and started with the famous braised veal meatball. The drinks were good and the meatball was about as good as any meatball can be. For our mains I had the buccatini and clams and my boyfriend had the spaghetti and meatballs. Everything was good but was at a rather high price point. We finished with the chocolate evoo cake for dessert which was probably the best part of the meal. Overall it was good but I personally think there's better Italian food in the city especially at the price point. I would like to come again sometime and try their happy hour and enjoy the patio again once it warms up!

Valentina's was busy when we arrived at 8pm on a Friday night and the people in front of me were turned away. Luckily, I had made reservations 30 minutes prior which apparently helped secure the last available table. We were seated right away and a server came by promptly for our drink order and asked if we'd like bread. They even had gluten free bread which she said would take longer to heat up. And surprisingly when the bill came, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the gluten free bread was free of charge. One of the guys in my three top asked for drink recommendations and she gave him some options. The guys ended up ordering Old Fashions and I had a Mi Valentini which was essentially a Dirty Martini. The server came back for our food order and she happily answered our questions and recommended the Burrata instead of the Bruschetta because she said they couldn't really make the Bruschetta vegetarian. We also ordered a gluten free Vegetable Pizza and the Spicy Radiatori Pasta gluten free without the meat. To accompany the dishes, we had both the sides of Escarole & Broccoli Rabe and Mushrooms & Onions. We ended with another round of drinks but this time I had the Espresso Martini. We asked for the food to be coursed out at different times so we could enjoy the bread, plus our cocktails and slowly eat the appetizer first, then pizza, and lastly the pasta. However, the Burrata and pizza arrived before our cocktails. They were apparently backed up at the bar. We didn't get plates for the appetizer and pizza so we began eating with our bread plates and had to ask for larger plates. The Burrata was definitely a winner with fresh tomatoes and drizzled balsamic vinegar and olive oil. The gluten free bread was springy as was the pizza dough. I would've liked some balsamic vinegar to go with the olive oil in the dipping plate. All the food was fresh and flavorful. The Escarole & Broccoli Rabe was just a tad too salty for my liking but overall, everyone enjoyed the food and cocktails. Our pasta was split into three portions for us which was nice of the server to request except the bowls were too big for three of us each to have with our other plates on the table. It was a very nice meal in a beautiful setting and comfortable atmosphere with a great vibe. We enjoyed the evening.

Valentina is a new Cameron Mitchell restaurant in heart of BridgePark Dublin. The ambiance is chic and classy. They start off with some fresh made focaccia. That focaccia is some of the best I have ever had, soft in the inside and has great crust on the outside. They truly serve them endless and keep bringing them back. We sat on the patio to enjoy the last few days of summer. Our server was very attentive and came to check up on us often. We tried the Caesar salad side of spaghetti while My friends tried their famous burrata and they really enjoyed with the bread.They have some great Italian cocktails which pair well with the food Highly recommended
