The best place in Dublin. Customer service was very nice, Brian is the best latte maker in the world. He helped me and my friend to get the best experience in the restaurant!
Went for Happy Hour. Great drinks and they have some half price appetizers. We got a pizza which is not a happy hour special. Absolutely delicious! We will be back to try other items.
The portions were so big i brought half home lasgna was amazing
A nice eclectic Italian bistro like vibe restaurant in Dublin. At peak hours can be a little noisy. Parking available and nearby parking lots services is friendly and attentive, again if not busy. Drinks are ample and well-made. Great variety good selection. Menu offer as many different selections. Food was served hot and tasty. Sometimes the food can take a little while to come out and that’s where the drinks come in. Staff remembered that we said it was my wife’s birthday and they bought us dessert with a candle that was complementary. Well worth trying out
It’s not bad. But I don’t think it’s worth going back. The bread service was disappointing. Focaccia is normally light, seasoned and delicious. This focaccia was dense. I ordered a steak, which was the best of all the meal options, but not quite steakhouse quality (fair enough- this is Italian). The fish was under-seasoned - it just tasted like lemon. The ravioli was not like a traditional ravioli shape, and while good, not what was expected. The mushrooms were just fine. The highlight was the chocolate cake and cream. It was fantastic. It is a busy/noisy place which was fine (and we went early, so I’m sure it gets busier), but if you want a quiet dinner, you may want to pick a different place.
We’ve been trying to get a reservation at Valentina’s and finally did, but to eat at 7, we had to reserve a month in advance. Now I know why. And it was worth it! We started with drinks and homemade focaccia bread. We followed with Burrata to go on our bread. That was amazing. For dinner, I had the Pear & Gorgonzola salad—very tasty—with a pear vinaigrette that paired nicely with the sharp Gorgonzola. My husband had a pepperoni pizza (minus the cherry peppers). It came with straciatella cheese and a little regular mozzarella. He liked it, just wished there was more cheese. The crust was medium thick, which he likes. The sauce was a thin simple tomato sauce with no seasoning. But in all he liked it.
Mussels and salmon were delicious. We also had the arancini and the burrata. Dietary restrictions: Good with my Dairy allergy
My girlfriend always enjoys the food, but the fantastic service was the reason I’m making this review. Collin was our server, and he was amazing. He was attentive, friendly, and really seems like he cares about the customer. What an amazing guy, making the Valentina’s experience 5 stars. The Lemon Tart was very good as well (the one bite I actually got after girlfriend tax)
