While camping outside St. Augustine we decided to take a drive and ended up on Fleming Island, we…read morehave friends in the area whom have always told us about this amazing pizza place. Well it was lunchtime and I happened to see the restaurant as we drove down US-17 so we flipped a u-turn and pulled into the parking lot. This is a very spacious pizza shop with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well as a beautiful bar. We were able to get seated immediately and greeted by our server who welcomed us and went over a few of the specials and menu items before taking our drink orders. We decided on the Buffalo Wings to start which are prepared in their brick ovens and never fried, honestly I was a little skeptical but they were pretty amazing and perfectly cooked, then drizzled with a delicious tangy buffalo sauce and sprinkled with a nice portion of gorgonzola cheese this is something I'd definitely order again. We followed these delicious wings with a pepperoni pizza, sounds simple yes but sooooo good the crust was crispy but remained tender and had the perfect chew, the sauce was really good and the pepperoni and cheese was delicious as well. We arrived about 11:30 AM and the restaurant continued to fill as we enjoyed our lunch - the staff here was very friendly and accommodating and the manger stopped by to thank us for coming in and to ensure everything met our expectations. This is definitely a place I'd return too when in the area, we loved this place...

I've been to Benito's lunch buffet a bunch of times when out there before and this is definitely the place. It's very good and enjoyable. The atmosphere is very middle-of-the-road comfy, not too fancy yet not at all divey. Place is immaculate and the staff are all very friendly and chill. The buffet's not ginormous but there's a lot of variety on it, something for everybody and the food, without exception is all tasty (see pix). The eggplant parm was good with lots of eggplant flavor, though pretty saucy. The sauce is nice though with a good balance between sweet and tangy. First time I went they had eggplant rollatini. They were great! Haven't seen them back since though, sadly. The saucy lasagna was also tasty with a nice presence of both meat and ricotta. The chicken Regina was unusual and mouth-worthy in a novel way. It's like chicken Francese with prosciutto, onions and mushrooms! The pizza was standard good and extremely edible. I don't like pepperoni pizza so I stuck with the cheese. Once when I went, they had veggie pizza. That was REALLY good! Wish they'd bring it back. I don't want to drone on and on so I'll let the LABELED pix speak for themselves. You should definitely go here when in the area at lunchtime for the great buffet, 11AM-2PM.

The owner brought us out water bottles for everyone in the group. She then brought us some shrimp appetizers and some lumpia while we looked at the menu. The lumpia were packed with flavor and the sauces were so good. I opted for a sausage roll. The roll was hot and crisp on the outside with warm, gooey cheese. Served with a very tasty red sauce. Others at the table got Bourbon chicken, General Chicken, Baked Zita, Baked Spaghetti, & dumplings. Everyone was very pleased with their meals & very happy with the serving sizes. After all of the appetizers most of us took home some food! Staff was great and friendly. They were very patient with our questions and you can tell are committed to good food and good service. Can't wait to go back!

This restaurant is a hidden gem for comfort Italian food. Openly, I was a bit skeptical due to the…read morelocation, but I am glad that I tried this place, I will definitely be back. I visited on Friday 9/25 and the restaurant was packed which is a good sign. Luckily I had a reservation. I do recommend a reservation if you visit on a weekend, as this place seems to get busy. For drink I had the Capo Zafferano (cabernet), the wines are affordable here which I believe is a must for any Italian restaurant. For starters we ordered the calamari and the arancini. The calamari was crispy, and I enjoyed that mainly because some restaurants serve it soggy. It being crispy showed me that it's cooked to order. Additionally the arancini was unique for me. I never seen one with beef and risotto inside of it. It was a moist beef and was all around flavorful. I would absolutely order both of those appetizers again. The entrée I tried was a classic chicken parmesan. A lot can go wrong with a chicken parmesan, but this place had a nice hearty portion served with rigatoni. You can swap for a different pasta if you like. The red sauce was flavorful and comforting, and the chicken was a big 7 oz portion. It was the perfect entrée after experiencing a long day at work. For dessert our table ordered a cannoli and a tiramisu. The cannoli was most special to me because it had a cinnamon flavored filling, not too strong, but yet present. I am a fan of cinnamon so I may be biased here. I typically do not like cannolis, but I enjoyed this one thoroughly. The tiramisu was also satisfying. Both desserts were not overly sweet, which I appreciated. My opinion on this place is all around positive, I enjoyed the meal, and the service. It's a great spot for fulfilling a comfort Italian food craving. Nothing makes me happier than a hearty portion of chicken parmesan and some wine. It's hard to critique anything here, but if you forced me to critique one thing it would be that bread service was not free. However, in my opinion the dishes are reasonably priced, so I can live with going without bread, especially when the appetizers themselves were so good. In its class I rate Valentina's a 10/10. I was completely satisfied eating here, and these days I feel some restaurants try too hard, and fail to deliver. For me Valentina's delivered. I typically include pictures of my meals, but this one was so good that I had no time to take any! Again, 10/10.

This one had that same light, refreshing feel but with even more flavor. It was hard to explain what I meant to my husband until he tried it and he ended up liking my lasagna more than the calzone he ordered! You can tell they make everything from scratch. We also got spaghetti and meatballs to go, and the sauce tasted so fresh. The cannoli was incredible. I used to make cannoli at a bakery years ago, and theirs had the smoothest, creamiest filling I've ever had. The staff was wonderful, and the owner treated us like an old friend. It's a modest size restaurant with good seating but limited parking,and it's always busy for a good reason. We'll definitely be back!

I had to soak it up with napkins just to keep my plate usable. It also didn't have a whole lot of flavor which I was surprised by. I really liked the grandma slice and wished we ordered a whole pizza instead of just a couple slices. Not sure we would give them another try despite enjoying the grandma slices.
