Erica did a beautiful job on the decorations but unfortunately the owner was in denial when confronted. Very upsetting for the amount of money that was paid.

The outside puts you in mind of an ole log cabin resort. It was decorated really nice, there's also a huge patio deck for out door entertainment and the inside is very modern, the decor theme is gray, silver, purple, and teal. The bar area has velvet seats with lots of lights around the bar. There's a dance floor that lights up like a rainbow. My sister in law had a birthday celebration for her husband, we probably had about fifty people and only needed half of the room. There's another room that was utilized for the food and desserts. It was elegant and very classy. They had plenty of servers that were dressed in their black and white fine dining wait staff. If you're in the Utica or even Syracuse area, this is the best place to have an event. Plus the hotels are just about 1.5 to 2 miles away.

All together, this made our day exceptional with memories to last a life time. Thanks to you all for doing an amazing job.

I am updating my review because I had my wedding here in November and I cannot believe how smoothly…read moreit went. I did not have to worry about a thing all night. Chuck and Maria were so wonderful to me, as were the rest of the staff at Valentino's. Professionalism seems to be the utmost importance to them. The food, ugh! We chose to have family style, which I do not regret. We ordered some typical Utica foods (riggies, greens), while also having some options for staple items, like a wonderful pork loin roast. There was not one thing that tasted bad. We opted for the open bar and had no problems with this all evening. Everything was so clean and tidy. I am so happy with how beautiful our photos turned out at Valentino's. Maria was always willing to meet with me. I probably came down the Valentino's 4 or 5 different times before the wedding to make sure everything was correct! Even a few days before the wedding when our rental company had some issues with getting flooded, Maria and her staff ironed and tied every bow on the chairs. I couldn't believe how much they helped us! I have nothing but positive things to say about Valentino's, but I think my pictures speak for themselves. Book your reception with them! You will not regret it.

Bring your own clubs, or choose from a limited selection. A bucket of balls is $5. I really loved the swirl wine slushy -- only $8. You can sample them before trying. They also offer a full wine sampling for $9 (five 1oz pours). Free parking and a nice sized lot. Pro tip: Bring cash to tip as you can't add gratuities onto a card.

The best Filet Mignon and Ribeye Steaks (both cooked to rare but crusty perfection, and a tasty…read moreGorgonzola) we have ever had in our life!!! Extremely delicious and great price (I think it was $42 for an 8 ounce Filet, and $43 for a 12 ounce Ribeye). Their scallop special over risotto was tasty too! Bread was yummy- Crusty, warm, and the drizzled garlic parsley butter was a nice touch. This place is a gem. It honestly lacked for nothing... Style, elegance, immaculately clean, and superb food make this place my new favorite. I live in Rochester, which means two hours to drive but worth it. Definitely in my top 5 restaurants. Owner was a gracious host, and his team outstanding with impeccable customer service start to finish. Will definitely be back!!!
