Anyway, it is a typical Italian restaurant: big smiles, helpful service and great food. I guess that is all the important stuff ticked! I enjoyed the pizzas the most as they are homemade and full of fresh toppings. They also do my all time favourite meal; Spaghetti Bolognese. And oh my word, it is mouth watering good. It is a great place to go in groups or even couples. A rare find in Hyde, so go here.

The selection of food is amazing, they have the most pasta dishes I've seen at an Italian, for a long time, if not ever. The prices are also modest and the food far surpasses the price. The pizzas all looked great and the small bit I tried was delicious but I had the pasta however, which is where I think it really excels. My choice was the spinach ravioli which was absolutely amazing, I would not have been disappointed for twice the price. The house red wine is gorgeous by anyone's standards, I've paid a whole lot more for a whole lot less. The place itself is fairly small but with tables for parties of all sizes with quick and efficient service. You'll be wanting to keep this one to yourself, it's a hidden gem.

Not having quoted from TA before, but as of today (25/01/15) they are ranking 6th and the 5 above them do not include Italian restaurants, so therefore are Manchester's top Italian restaurant. All that said upon arrival and entry you would wonder why! Then upon commencement of your courses you can easily see why. We had the special for £24.99 of 12 tapas dishes and a HUGE 19"pizza which we were allowed to do half once topping and half another. 4 of us ate more than confortably (inc a Coke) for only £9 each. Our tapas that we chose were chicken wings, tomato rice balls, BBQ ribs, croquettes, meatballs and bruschetta. Then the huge pizza arrived which left your draw dropping! Pros - This place sure hits the spot for taste, value, quality and friendly staff. Even Bruno himself recalled seeing us one time before, which had to be around 9 months previously! Cons - book well in advance to avoid disappointment (although a good friend of mine just before Xmas called in whilst driving passed and got the last table... Alex B way to go dude!) and don't be put off by the small bijoux tranquil surroundings! Go on give it a try! Well worth the drive, or the local tram stop called 'Velopark' (immediately after 'Etihad Campus') which is about 3 mins walk away!

The owner pretty much runs the place in his own (with exception to the chef) and yet still manages to be concise and tend to every request. The restaurant is very small but the size is almost unnoticeable due to the homely atmosphere. The happy hour (5-7 I think) is only £10.90 for THREE COURSES. And even though this does not include the whole menu, there is still a great selection.

And take…read moreit from me, when I say this place is old fashioned, I mean it's old fashioned - all red velour walls, singing waiters called Mario and Luigi, and 'traditional' Italian food. This isn't to say that what they serve up is bad - just don't come here expecting unique and interesting Italian cuisine. Taking a look at the meatballs, lasagne's and four season pizzas on offer, I imagine that their menu hasn't been revamped since 1972. Still, the food I ate whilst I was there was all perfectly cooked and their wine list wasn't too bad either. Plus, a waiter serenaded me whilst he was bringing me my Tiramisu, and I'm a sucker for any bloke who fills me full of sweet cream whilst singing selections from Turandot in my general direction. Valentino's is a nice backwater Italian which is nice if you're looking for an unfussy, inexpensive meal. Just don't there expecting culinary fireworks.

Having complained about a hair in the food they were merely given a shrug of the shoulders and no apology! When they asked to see the manager the same waitress appeared purporting to be said Manager, still no apology or explanation. They explained their dissatisfaction and were told not to return to the restaurant again....don't worry they won't be and neither will the rest of our family and friends who have been loyal customers for over 25 years. Extremely disappointed in what was once a lovely place for a nice meal....customer service and staff attitude leaves much to be desired
