    We celebrated Mother’s Day dinner at Valentinos, and as always, it was exceptional. The food was absolutely outstanding—so much so that we ended up ordering extra to take home! The service was equally impressive. It always is, but this visit stood out thanks to our hostess, who was friendly, proactive, and incredibly efficient. She genuinely made our experience even more enjoyable. We’re regulars at Valentinos—it’s easily our favourite restaurant, even though it’s nearly an hour from home. The combination of incredible food and consistently excellent service is what keeps us coming back time and time again. When it came to choosing where to go for Mother’s Day, there was never any doubt—it had to be Valentinos. If you’re looking for genuine, fresh, and delicious Italian food, this place is highly recommended.

    We go here regularly. The food is always fresh and there is a good variety of seafood, hot food and desserts. A bit too much chilli for my liking but I can work around it.
