    cocktail
    Maggie C.

    We came for my birthday because I wanted mussels and enjoyed some delicious food. Everything was very good, the vibes are cute, I was able to get a cute cocktail. Our waitress was absolutely adorable and took incredible care of us. If I had to comment on anything, it felt very crowded. We were sitting at a table by the window, and I felt like I was sitting in the tables next to ours, laps.

    This restaurant almost earned five stars from me. He came here to celebrate two birthdays and we had a wonderful evening and excellent excellence. You may wonder why it didn't get five stars, so I will start out with that. You came with a person who has Parkinson's and a walk getting out of the car and walking does not have ballet and when people pull up to it it's on a busy street and on a short street corner. Parking directly outside the restaurant isn't very effective. Parking around the corner makes it very hard for anybody to go around the corner. There's no valet so you can't just get out of your car and have somebody park your car which would've been the ideal situation and lack of valet is the only reason why this location does not get a five star rating for me When you enter the aesthetics are wonderful it just has great lighting. Beautiful chandelier is a lovely bar that has booths and regular tables. The booth are quite comfortable and roomy easily fitting six people. We had a reservation. I'm unsure why we were put out a booth. I'm sure that was due to the person who made the reservation and didn't clarify we needed a table so getting the person Parkinson's into the booth was a bit of a challenge. However, as I said, they have plenty of chairs and seating accommodate a handicap. Person would've been no problem. Had we just explained that our large party needed a table completely on our fault. The server stored our guest walker, so they didn't hinder the aesthetic with the dining room nor pose a problem which we appreciate appreciated We ordered a couple appetizers: veal meatball, muscles and arancini. I'm not sure which was the best all excellent. The meatball is huge definitely enough for six people to have a little taste. The entrees we ordered were: swordfish, lasagna, pasta with clams, eggplant parm, and a salad with blackened shrimp. The eggplant was huge. Was devoured with lots of "this is delicious", same with the clam dish. The swordfish plates weird. The huge plate makes it look small but I assure you, its filling and also delicious, the lasagna... meh. The salad is more a large side salad- I added shrimp. If it wasnt for the complimentary bread I would have still been very hungry from just the salad. However it did taste good. We got three desserts: tiramisu, chocolate cake and lemon tart. All excellent. The tiramisu is huge enough for two, three people. Truly enjoyed are dinner. Thomisina was our server. Highly recommend her, too. She was very attentive and fun. Excellent service all around. Will go back.

    If you're craving Italian, or a delicious meal with a prime aesthetic in general, you need to make Valentina's your next stop! Their service is phenomenal & they'll make sure you have an incredible experience and wonderful meal! The Spicy Radiatori is absolutely unreal! The pancetta and marinara with the spice is the perfect pasta flavor & adding the meatball is the game changer to making this meal absolute perfection!! need to get an uber refreshing cocktail as an accompaniment to your incredible meal; and this is guaranteed to be a wonderful experience! Go stop on by soon!

    I could not have been more impressed with my family's dining experience at Valentina's. First off this restaurant is gorgeous and the ambiance was lively and perfect for a date night or a nice dinner with friends or family. Our waitress Shenita was the best waiter we have ever had. She created such a special experience for my parent's birthday by providing great recommendations and overall being so kind. Lastly, the food was so delicious. Everything we had was fantastic. The bread was so good we got two baskets. If you like calamari definitely get the frito misto. The meatball appetizer and the spicy radiatori were our top favorites. We can't wait to go back again soon! 12/10!

    We came here to celebrate our friends birthday, and it was the right choice taking in consideration that it was a special occasion, once we entered to the restaurant, everything was clean and the decoration is precious, the service, starting for the host is really good. We sat down. We had a couple drinks and some appetizers, fried calamari, deep fried risotto and we had complementary bread with olive oil, everything tasted good. Then we ordered our food and for my family we ordered the calzone , pasta à la vodka with chicken and a pizza. The only dish that actually highlighted the evening was the pasta la vodka, the calzone, and the pizza were just average, and to be honest, I was expecting an explosion of flavor, but this wasn't the occasion. I would love to have something else to say about this restaurant, but to be honest, it wasn't anything spectacular judging by the prices you are paying.

    The image depicts the exterior of Valentino's restaurant at dusk, with a prominent illuminated sign displaying the name. The restaurant has a striped awning above large glass windows, and there are potted plants with broad green leaves lining the sidewalk in front of the establishment. The building appears modern with multiple stories, and the scene is set during evening hours with subdued lighting.

    Valentina's is my favorite restaurant in Bridge Park. The ambiance is very upscale and decadent. The food is delicious. I was let down by the service this time around. It seemed like our waitress really wanted to be done with her shift and wanted to get out of there. Within the span of 10 minutes, she came up to our table asking what we would like to eat for our main course, when we had just got done looking at the drink menu and were looking at appetizers. When it came time to box our meals, it was like she had a sigh of relief and had them boxed with our check within the minute. It just felt rushed when we wanted to get drinks, eat, and catch up with the rest of our group. This restaurant is expensive, so rushing us through our meal felt disrespectful. Unfortunately, I am a sucker for the food, so I will be back!

    It became my favorite happy hour so far. They have a good food and drinks happy hour menu and you can sit any where at the restaurant. Of course Friday is packed. If you don't have a reservation and don't get there before 5pm, you might not get a seat until close to 6. Service is always good.

    For starters, the space is beautiful! Both the indoor and outdoor dining areas are tastefully decorated and very warm and inviting. My group of four was lucky to get a space on their patio. We made our reservation through OpenTable, which I recommend doing because even on a weeknight, they are busy! The service is impeccable. Some of the friendliest and attentive staff I've seen at a restaurant yet. I tried the Hugo cocktail which was my fave when I used to live in Europe. It was tart and refreshing. For my meal I went with the goat cheese ravioli and it was delectable and an excellent portion. I also loved the fresh bread that accompanied the meal. 5/5 stars!

    I came here for a work dinner. The interior is beautiful and I loved that we got to sit in our own little room. We were quite a large bunch but it felt cozy. Menu is expansive. I was surprised at the versatility. My meal was excellent and so were the appetizers. Though members of my party weren't as thrilled with theirs. The salmon was a little over cooked and cold, per my boss. But my experience was excellent. I loved my meal, I appreciated the attentiveness of the staff, and I loved the zero proof cocktail offerings. I'm only deducting a star based on the experience of multiple people in my party. I would still recommend trying this restaurant if you are in town or need somewhere for a large group.

    Finally checked Valentina's off my bucket list tonight with my family! It was our first time, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The Bridge Park location is perfect, and the ambiance was beautiful. The food was high quality, our server gave great recommendations, and the price point was super reasonable. Service was warm and well-paced. Can't wait to come back, definitely eyeing the pizza next time! This time I went for the Hugo Spritz and Spicy Radiatori!

My husband had the old fashioned which he thought was okay. I had the creamy limoncello martini which was tart and delicious. For dinner my husband had the chicken Parmesan and was really happy with his choice. Even though he went in with a big appetite, he ended up taking some home. The portions are really generous. I had the veal Francaise, a tender veal cutlet cooked in a lemony butter sauce with green beans and mushrooms and homemade spaghetti. It was incredible also. I ate about half and had a delicious lunch for the next day. The house salad that comes with every meal has a tasty homemade vinaigrette with pasta and crispy green beans.

Their bread is served with an oil and tomato concoction that was to die for. Actually, I'm not sure if it was tomatoes or peppers, but it was crazy good. I think they sell it by the jar. For dinner I had the chicken parm. The chicken itself was okay, with the breading falling off in places , not overly crispy. Also, not overly large, but just fine for one meal. I'm used to taking half of it home, but this was just a bit larger than a half portion I would usually relegate myself to. The game changer was the red sauce. Holy cow was it good! A bit sweat, full bodied, just delicious. I wish they bottled that to take home! It was that good and more than made up for the mediocre service. About that, the waiter was friendly enough, just not that bright or attentive. I had asked for crushed red pepper when I ordered the chicken parm, which he never brought. It seemed that we waited forever for the check, then after paying, I realized I never got my credit card back. Waited for the kid to come back around, but he must have gone to the can to burn a mule, as he was no where to be found. I walked over to the server area and saw my card lying on top of the card reader, which I retrieved on my own. Normally, this experience would irritate me to no end and result in a poor review, but that red sauce was just sooooo good. Will definitely come back and try something else in that same sauce.

The virtual kitchen is actually located in the Chili's kitchen on 161 near Sawmill Road in Dublin. You must order through DoorDash for delivery only. Maggiano's and Chili's are Brinker International restaurants. The food was hot and fresh when it arrived via DoorDash. The order consisted of Spaghetti and Meatball with Meat Sauce, and Cheese Raviolis with Meat Sauce. I typically do not like meatballs, but Maggiano's/Maggiano's Italian Classics have the perfect extra large meatballs. I highly recommend ordering the meat sauce instead of classic marinara.

The item that disappointed the most was zucchini fritters. They were limp and had no distinct taste. To my surprise, later that evening I noticed there were little to no zucchini inside... only thin almost invisible slivers! I ordered a Caesar salad that consisted mostly of large stalks of romaine lettuce throughout the salad! Maybe, there was less than a teaspoon of Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.
