  • The wife and I tried Valentino and while everything was okay, nothing knocked our socks off. It's a pretty restaurant, but the food reached for heights it did not quite attain. It's pricey and if you want to be seen in a pricey place you should go there.

    Dined @ Valentino during Restaurant Weeks & were quite disappointed. As fans of the Santa Monica, CA location, we thought we'd try local branch. Regular menu is limited, and the Restaurant Weeks menu more so. Food was average, at best--Veal Scallopini was seriously over-salted, Proscuitto & Parmesan starter meager, and the Creme Brulee flavorless save chocolate @ bottom. Beautiful Dining Room & attentive service, but will not return.

  • We love the Santa Monica version so we were excited to try the new Houston restaurant. It is only okay. Houston Chronicle's review on 1/13/2010 seemed spot on. Fun, contemporary atmosphere but food was average. Lobster ravioli was chewy, goat cheese salad and flounder entree were standard, risotto was bland, duck was good, not great, gelatto was the best part! Service was perfectly adequate.
