It turned out to be such an enjoyable spot to dine, and we really appreciated their effort. Our server, Olive, was absolutely fantastic! She was attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Every detail of her service was handled beautifully. A big thank you to Olive for making our evening so enjoyable! As for the food, the pizza was absolutely delicious! Our steak had a wonderful smoky flavor from being cooked over an open flame, although we weren't particularly impressed with the meat itself. The salad and potatoes, however, were excellent. Unfortunately, the chocolate dessert served in a glass was disappointing. I understand the idea of balancing chocolate with salt and pistachios to create a more complex flavor profile, but this dessert was surprisingly not sweet at all. It genuinely tasted like salty chocolate, which I found unpleasant. Definitely not something we enjoyed. One other thing stood out to us from a hospitality perspective. We were seated directly across from the pizza chef and the chef working the open-fire grill, yet neither acknowledged us throughout the evening. Not even a smile, eye contact, or a simple "How's the food?" I completely understand that chefs are focused on cooking and that guest interaction isn't necessarily their responsibility. However, when you're working in an open kitchen with guests sitting right in front of you, a little acknowledgment goes a long way. What made it particularly noticeable was that they were chatting with each other throughout the evening while seemingly ignoring the guests just a few feet away. It felt rather unwelcoming, especially in an otherwise excellent hospitality environment. Overall, we loved the atmosphere, the hostesses were wonderful, Olive provided outstanding service, and most of the food was delicious. A little more guest engagement from the open-kitchen team would make the experience even better.

I have to apologize to my Sicilian Grandfather who passed away a number of years ago, because my…read moredinner at The Annex Kitchen felt like Sunday dinner. My wife and I had an amazing experience last night- from the appetizer to our main dishes. Everything was executed just perfectly- I wouldn't change a thing with the food. We started with the arancini,which are deep fried risotto balls with mozzarella and pesto embedded in. These little delights are a must try as they are the perfect blend of creamy , salty and crunchy. For our entrees, we ordered the Margherita pizza and rigatoni with sausage. First of all, the wood fired pizza was cooked perfectly with a nice balance of sweetness from the pizza sauce and crunch factor from the dough. The homemade rigatoni pasta was to die for with the sausage ragu working its magic including a subtle spice added throughout to give it that nice kick of flavor. Well done team Annex! As a Sicilian who grew up on the real stuff, I can tell you that this place hits every mark. 5 stars from me and I can't wait to come back! P.S This isn't fast food- expect to wait a bit. Trust me it will be worth the wait! And oh, the dining room is freezing. Bring a coat , and eat fast so your pizza doesn't get cold.

However, my biggest concern was the seating arrangement. The tables were pushed very close together, making it difficult to have a private conversation with my guest. The people seated next to us were having a lively conversation, which is wonderful, but because the tables were so close, their conversation was right beside ours, and I struggled to concentrate on our own discussion. I think this seating arrangement works well for larger groups, but for a party of two, it would be nice to have a little more space and privacy. I would probably prefer sitting on the patio next time, if available. Unfortunately, having a comfortable space to enjoy a conversation is important to me, so I'm not sure I would return. That said, the restaurant itself is very good, and I would still recommend it to others who may not mind the close seating arrangement.

Honestly, you almost forget you're in Fresno! The atmosphere gives you that charming Little Italy feel, mixed with the ambiance of a beautiful Downtown Disney bistro. Just a fantastic setting that makes the entire dining experience that much more enjoyable. And the food? OUT OF THIS WORLD! I had the Chicken Parmesan, and without question, it was one of the best I've ever had. Perfectly prepared, incredibly flavorful, and paired with fresh pasta, delicious sauce, and all the right finishing touches. You can genuinely taste the quality and care that goes into every dish. It's refreshing to find a restaurant that delivers on every level: atmosphere, freshness, presentation, quality, and most importantly, TASTE! Valentino's in the Galleria is an absolute gem! If you haven't been, you're missing out. Whether it's date night, a special occasion, or simply wanting an exceptional Italian meal, you absolutely cannot go wrong. Fresno is fortunate to have a place like this. Five stars all the way! I'll definitely be back!

I honestly didn't know what to order, but the person up front let me know that the lasagna was their best-selling item. But I decided to go with the RIGATONI ALLA TONY instead! It had chopped mushrooms, chicken, and a creamy Alfredo sauce! After ordering, my food came out pretty fast! I'm really glad I decided to try it because it actually had really good flavor! It wasn't like your typical pasta with Alfredo sauce. It had its own little flavor to it, which I really liked! It also came with a side of bread! Overall, the food was really good, and I'm glad I finally got to try Valentino's! Hopefully, the next time I'm in downtown Fresno, I can come back and try something else on their menu!

The bread and butter.....Oh lawd! That butter is so soft and fluffy! This is where you need to be careful! Or you will be full before your meal comes out! The beginning of the disappointment! Then the sad salad came out! This was some Iceberg lettuce, and a few croutons, and the salad dressing was just creamy, and flavorless! They could have thrown some tomatoes and onions on that salad! it is an Italian restaurant, right? Just saying Mushroom Sauce We read this dish wrong, we were expecting white sauce with mushrooms, it was a marinara sauce. I wouldn't have ordered this 1 of 2 options for the vegetarians. But this sounds like the mushrooms are sauteed in the sauce. No! It looks like they opened a can of stewed cut tomatoes and laid a few mushrooms on top! No effort at all with seasoning it. It was just bland. Didn't even want to take it home and doctor it up. I literally just took about 4 bites, and I couldn't eat anymore! I should have ordered Mizithra Cheese & Browned Butter instead of the mushroom sauce pasta! Maria was super nice and asked how we liked it! We told her we didn't. She offered to get us something else, and we chose not to accept her offer. The star of the show! Spumoni Ice Cream Our classic blend of chocolate, cherry, and pistachio ice cream! This was so good, loved all the flavors. I would add this to my, would go back for, if I was going to go back. They need to do better!
