Valentina's is a cozy Italian restaurant. Our server Brian was very friendly and helpful with drink and dinner recommendations. Whatever pasta you order, make sure you get the meatball added. It's more than worth it! read more

I have been wanting to try Valentina's since it opened since my favorite Cameron Mitchell restaurants are Marcella's and Martinis and I was finally able to check it out last night! The overall aesthetic of the restaurant is fun and slightly upscale. I feel like you could go there for a nice dinner out, girls night, or something more casual. The gender neutral restrooms are great as they each have their own individual sink and mirror area. Also loved the Italian vibes of the music and decor. We started off with the Arancini which is amazing, as well as the bread. I got the Cacio de Pepe. My husband got a Caesar Salad and a cheese pizza. One thing to note is that it did not have sauce, which was different but still good. Everything was fantastic and our server Parker was also phenomenal. Definitely recommend and will be back! read more

Love Cameron Mitchell's just not this one. Atmosphere and service was great as all Cameron Mitchell's are . The food was not that Chicken was not cooked and the exacution on the other items just wasn't there. Really disappointed because it was not an easy table to get. Only Cameron Mitchell I have not enjoyed as of yet. read more

My first time to Valentina's, at first sight it's beautiful inside, lots of great ambiance. Came at 8 on Thursday and the place was crowded, and it gets loud for sure. Being a Cameron Mitchell I'm always excited that I can get gf bread, but it took about 30 minutes to get to us. We ordered a straccietella mozzarella appetizer and still didn't have bread to eat with it, but our waitress (who was lovely and really friendly) was very busy with other tables. The Manhattan cocktail was superb. Lots of nice drink choices. The mozzarella starter was pretty good, dressed nicely with pistachios. I ordered the cacio e Pepe pasta, gf. Really good flavor, but so much cheese in the dish, I wished it had some tomatoes or fresh veggie to break it up. My bf ordered the ribeye and it was cooked well. However the escarole broccoli side was so soaked in garlic sauce it was spicy and barely edible. Just too dressed. We got the bruleed lemon tart which was my favorite part of the meal, the sugared blueberries paired so nice with the tartness of the lemons, could've used some more. So overall, a pretty good dinner, but not my favorite CM restaurant. Probably will come back, but not rushing to do so. read more

Best pepperoni pizza and Caesar salad that I have had in a long time!!! Everything was fresh and service was excellent. I highly recommend this place. The restaurant was welcoming and had a great atmosphere along with friendly staff. When I travel I try to find great pizza places and this one wins hands down. read more

We had another good meal here. The arrancini was very good as was the burata. The spaghetti and meatball was very good, with one huge, tender and tasty meatball. Our ladies split the radiatori and the pear salad and they would order both again. My son had the lasagna and it was very good. I had the Delmonico steak and it was very good, only complaint is that is was closer to medium than medium rare for my liking but still very good with lots of butter as a nice enhancement. Our service was a little slow but not because of our server, she was very busy handling many tables that seemed to get sat all at the same time. The restaurant has a cool vibe overall and was very busy. So we will definitely go back but I haven't found that must order dish yet but lots of very good options and the pizzas looked good so maybe I'll try that next. read more

Wow! Valentina's at Bridge Park is GORGEOUS! I absolutely loved my experience this week during restaurant week. I made a reservation for four of us and we were seated a high top. Our waitress was very nice but overdid it a tad with calling us friends. For restaurant week it was 3 courses for $35 and they were all amazing. Well first off the bread was so yummy with oil, red pepper flakes and parmigiana cheese. I got Caesar salad for my first course. It came with Romaine, Focaccia Croutons, Creamy Lemon Garlic Dressing, Parmigiano Reggiano. My main course was by far my favorite and I got to try my step dad's meatball as pictured below. I got Chicken Parmesan with House-made Rigatoni, Alfredo, Marinara. It was so yummy and I would get it every time I come back but want to try so many more items. The meatball was huge but not my favorite. I definitely prefer the Chicken Parmesan. The biggest surprise for me was how good the Brûléed Lemon Tart with Blueberry Sauce was. I didn't expect that combination to be so complementary. I definitely recommend it if you were looking for something sweet and tart. I'm going to be making a reservation soon to come back and try more items on the menu. read more

I have been to Valentina's a couple of times and had great experiences both times. The hostess was super friendly and our server was excellent. I had their version of linguine with clams sauce and it was wonderful. My husband had chicken Parmesan and loved it as well. I went for my birthday with a party of seven and we all enjoyed it very much. The ambiance is amazing just as one would expect from a Cameron Mitchell restaurant. read more

Valentina's is a great Restaurant, the food is always consistent and the Chicken Parm. Is the best. Service is outstanding, and Dan (Manager) always makes sure every guest is enjoying their visit. It's usually hard to just stop by and expect to be seated, plan ahead and make a reservation in advance. read more

I've been wanting to try this place since it opened. I finally got a chance to try it. When I walked in the staff was very friendly and outgoing. Even though I didn't have a reservation they made sure that me and my guest was seated promptly. We started off with some great appetizers, we tried the arancini balls and Focaccia Bread was awesome. and then ordered our main entrees. The pepperoni pizza was phenomenal, I added banana peppers and it again was amazing! My guest for the Rigatoni with Chicken, they throughly enjoyed their meal. If you are looking for a nice place to enjoy some good food, with a great atmosphere, look no further! read more

SUPER nice italian restauraunt. I have visited here on several occasions and have tried several of the dishes. I always get the brut rose, which is super yummy. Not too dry, flavorful with just the right amount of bite. The ambiance and decor is beautiful, a little on the heavy old-world style italian for my liking, but beautiful for sure. Few of my favs here - the pear & gorgonzola salad, the margarita pizza, the lasagna for sure! Great date night spot to have some dinner and go for a romantic stroll afterwards down by the scenic scioto mile bridge. read more

I love bridge park and was so excited to see another restaurant opening! The outside decor is so cute and they have the best patio. When it first opened it was super busy and a little tricky to get a reservation - not sure if that's that still the case since they've been open for a little while now. We were still able to snag a reservation on a Friday night and sat on the patio while it was still warm. We ordered an aperol spritz and rum and coke to drink and started with the famous braised veal meatball. The drinks were good and the meatball was about as good as any meatball can be. For our mains I had the buccatini and clams and my boyfriend had the spaghetti and meatballs. Everything was good but was at a rather high price point. We finished with the chocolate evoo cake for dessert which was probably the best part of the meal. Overall it was good but I personally think there's better Italian food in the city especially at the price point. I would like to come again sometime and try their happy hour and enjoy the patio again once it warms up! read more

Valentina is a new Cameron Mitchell restaurant in heart of BridgePark Dublin. The ambiance is chic and classy. They start off with some fresh made focaccia. That focaccia is some of the best I have ever had, soft in the inside and has great crust on the outside. They truly serve them endless and keep bringing them back. We sat on the patio to enjoy the last few days of summer. Our server was very attentive and came to check up on us often. We tried the Caesar salad side of spaghetti while My friends tried their famous burrata and they really enjoyed with the bread.They have some great Italian cocktails which pair well with the food Highly recommended read more

After reading some of the reviews here, I went in with my expectations fairly low. I think the food at Cameron Mitchell restaurants ranges from mediocre to good, but have never had a genuinely bad meal. Until now. I think they should have taken some of the focus on the decor and atmosphere, and put that into the quality of the food they are serving. Disappointing from beginning to end. Service was slow and awkward. Bar area was uncomfortably warm. Buffalo mozz appetizer was inedible. "Spaghetti and meatball" entree was served undercooked (both pasta and meat). Thank goodness they had tasty gluten free bread, as that bread ended up being my dinner. There are places to enjoy great Italian food in Columbus. Based on my dining experience, this is not one of them. read more

Food was delicious. The pasta was cooked well and everything came out piping hot. The dressing on the Caesar salad was some of the best I have ever had. The experience was far from what we were expecting, especially for a CMR. I made a reservation about a month in advance via phone as the website wasn't working. The individual taking the call asked if we were celebrating anything and I mentioned it was a birthday, yet there was no mention of that while we were dining. I also very specifically requested a table in the main part of the restaurant, yet we were seated in the bar area. It was so loud we could barely hear eachother, and the temperature inside was so hot we couldn't enjoy our meals. The sun coming in through the open doors paired with the noise from the sidewalk bar right outside made it uncomfortable and awkward. Our server was nice, but seemed to be scattered all over the restaurant and barely focused on the couple tables she had in our section. It was so crammed in there that we were constantly getting bumped into by people walking by or having to slide in our seats for the servers to get by with big trays of food. Overall, very disappointed in the experience here. We heard great things and were excited to celebrate a birthday here, but would have rather found a quiet local resturaunt where we were more than just a number. read more

Valentina's - We had the vegetable pizza, chicken parmesan and the spicy pasta add chicken Milanese - Italian Near Me - Dublin, Ohio

During a little 2 day getaway in Dublin Ohio (just outside of Columbus) we did a lot of walking to acquaint ourselves with the community. During one of our strolls we happened upon this very attractive restaurant called Valentina's. It looked cute, and we were working up an appetite so we decided to give them a try. We entered, without a reservation, and they were very accommodating. A pleasant young lady was quite cordial and seated us quickly at a nice window table with a wonderful view. The establishment was very roomy and nicely appointed. Upon scanning the menu it became quite apparent they had an excellent selection of both food and beverage. The wine list included several nice vintages including a Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand as well as a very nice Sangiovese. The food selection was extensive and quite enticing. My wife immediately noticed the Cacio e Pepe which she ordered without a second thought. It was very nicely done. I was intrigued by the Stracciatella with marmalade and pistachios which was served with crisp crostini and was quite marvelous. We followed our meal with Affogato and coffee. I must say, I was not sure what to expect at first but I was very pleasantly surprised. If you ever find yourself in the Dublin area I highly recommend you give them a try. read more

Went for NYE with friends and had a fantastic experience! Beautifully decorated inside, located in Bridge Park making parking easy and convenient. Our server was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable on the menu and didn't rush us but made sure all needs were met. The food itself was amazing (as were the drinks). We split the meatball, burratta, and bruschetta - all were fantastic! I got the chicken Parmesan- the piece of chicken was very large and perfectly cooked. The rigatoni pasta underneath was also delicious. Several people in our group got the carbonara with the breaded chicken on the side which was a huge hit! read more

We came the first week it was open. I wanted to get the burrata but she said it was like a caprese salad and I wanted it to be more than just a burrata ball. I got the mi Valentini (vodka martini). It was fine. Then the Tuscan liminata which was very good. The bread was salty and delicious. We ordered the bruschetta and it was sadly not good. On top of it not being very flavorful the bread to topping ratio was way off and the bread was rock hard. I ordered spicy radiatori it was very good. Reminded me of the vodka sauce at marchellas. I would go back but it was not as good as I was expecting from Cameron Mitchell. read more

We had a large party and reserved the private room. They had tons of rules and then were rude to us because it obviously didn't matter how they treated us because of the contract rules. Food wasn't good and couldn't even send it back because we were running out of time on our reservation. Would never come here with a large party ever again. read more

The brûléed lemon tart was probably the best part. The top cracked satisfyingly when I tapped my spoon on it and the mascarpone-infused whipped cream kept the tart from being too sweet. The burrata tasted high quality and the ribeye steak was worth the price, but everything else was kind of...just ok. Additionally, I think we saw *maybe* four (4) POC in the entire establishment. It was otherwise suffocatingly overrun with rich white people 25-80 y/o (and leaning heavily towards the latter end of the spectrum). Be forewarned that the half-off on happy hour apps only applies if you are seated at the bar...but what if the bartenders tried to talk to me (scream) (just social anxiety things) read more

Another Cameron Mitchell hit. Great food, great cocktails, great vibe. Service was top notch at this beautiful location. We tried the Caesar salad, minestrone soup, and chicken Parmesan. Everything was fantastic! I love when restaurants mix white and red sauce for their chicken Parmesan, and Valentina's delivered. Also the cocktail I got, it was called Linda Evangelista...absolutely amazing. The cherry foam was perfect. Hat's off to the team for another successful restaurant. read more

Valentina's was busy when we arrived at 8pm on a Friday night and the people in front of me were turned away. Luckily, I had made reservations 30 minutes prior which apparently helped secure the last available table. We were seated right away and a server came by promptly for our drink order and asked if we'd like bread. They even had gluten free bread which she said would take longer to heat up. And surprisingly when the bill came, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the gluten free bread was free of charge. One of the guys in my three top asked for drink recommendations and she gave him some options. The guys ended up ordering Old Fashions and I had a Mi Valentini which was essentially a Dirty Martini. The server came back for our food order and she happily answered our questions and recommended the Burrata instead of the Bruschetta because she said they couldn't really make the Bruschetta vegetarian. We also ordered a gluten free Vegetable Pizza and the Spicy Radiatori Pasta gluten free without the meat. To accompany the dishes, we had both the sides of Escarole & Broccoli Rabe and Mushrooms & Onions. We ended with another round of drinks but this time I had the Espresso Martini. We asked for the food to be coursed out at different times so we could enjoy the bread, plus our cocktails and slowly eat the appetizer first, then pizza, and lastly the pasta. However, the Burrata and pizza arrived before our cocktails. They were apparently backed up at the bar. We didn't get plates for the appetizer and pizza so we began eating with our bread plates and had to ask for larger plates. The Burrata was definitely a winner with fresh tomatoes and drizzled balsamic vinegar and olive oil. The gluten free bread was springy as was the pizza dough. I would've liked some balsamic vinegar to go with the olive oil in the dipping plate. All the food was fresh and flavorful. The Escarole & Broccoli Rabe was just a tad too salty for my liking but overall, everyone enjoyed the food and cocktails. Our pasta was split into three portions for us which was nice of the server to request except the bowls were too big for three of us each to have with our other plates on the table. It was a very nice meal in a beautiful setting and comfortable atmosphere with a great vibe. We enjoyed the evening. read more

We came here for the first time for my birthday. Since they have opened it has been hard to get reservation but my partner made the 4+ months in advance. As you could imagine we had been looking forward to going here for a while! When we arrived they put us at a small 2 top near the bar that was pretty unbearable to sit at. It had no air circulation and was extremely hot. They said we couldn't move to a bigger table in dinning room because all 2 tops had to sit where we were. They ended up having a high top at the bar. Ironically, later in the meal I went to the bathroom and saw multiple 2 tops sat at bigger tables in the dinning room. Kind of wild given we waited over 4 months to come here. As for the service, we were greeted quickly and the server was kind. He got us started with water and a bottle of wine pretty timely. For our meal we decided to start with the arancini. For the entrees we got the lasagna and the veal pappardelle. The food was excellent! I like how the arancini were smaller so they were nice and crispy. The pasta dishes were both decadent and so full of flavor! Since it was my birthday they were kind enough to bring me a tiramisu. No surprise, but that was also yummy! Overall it was a good experience. read more

This got high praise from some of the locals so I had to try it. The veal meatball and bruschetta were really good apps. The carbonara was really good and I would get it again. The server was very quick and sometimes missed our request because he would leave so quickly. The atmosphere was nice sitting next to the huge open windows. The problem was loud vehicles driving by and dogs jumping up. I would return but request to sit away from the street. read more

Chicken Parmesan | Love the creamy alfredo sauce with the rigatoni. Breaded chicken breast is perfectly cooked and infused with the marinara sauce and cheese Tiramisu | Topped of the dinner with a nice piece of tiramisu. Super creamy and the ratio of coffee flavor is just right read more

I enjoyed everything I hate at Valentina's last night! I ate the caesar salad, italian salad Braised lamb gnudi (the sauce was genuinely seasoned to perfection), and the Rigatoni bolognese (overall this was the better pasta compared to the lamb). Bryan was our server and he did a great job taking care of us and making sure we felt right at home! If you can I would recommend you to ask for him to serve because he gives good insight and can help you find something you will enjoy to eat. There was two things I did not enjoy about Valentina's 1.) is how crowded it was. I felt like they added too much seating. 2.) the beef carpaccio was relatively bland in my opinion. Other than that I had a great experience and would come back! read more

My wife and I came to Valentina's to celebrate both of our birthdays. While we were greeted by friendly hosts, the nervous walk to our table made me ponder the experience we were about to have. Thankfully, we had a four top for the two of us otherwise I would have hated the experience. When looking at the two tops next to us, the couples looked crammed and could overhear each other's conversations. Our server was very friendly and punctual. Her knowledge of the menu was pretty good but she didn't seem too invested in getting my wife exactly what she wanted. The Sicilian pizza had incredible flavor and the crust was some of the best I've ever had, however the crust in the middle just left my pizza flopping all over the place. Our desert came out for free due to our birthdays which was a great touch. The spumoni sundae (chocolate cake) came out and was massive. I enjoyed the subtle flavor but it was just too dry to enjoy. The homemade whipped cream though was some of the best I've ever had! All in all, we had a good experience but I'll never be back. We got lucky with the seating and I know a two top would have been irritating. I just kind of thought for the price I'd be a bit more impressed with the entire experience. We could have had the same fun at any other restaurant. read more

Ordered the margarita pizza, it was nothing special, had all the right ingredients, but needed to be in the oven another minute.

We had such a great experience here! We had 8 adults and 4 children under 2 and they set us up in the private room which was perfect for our group. We enjoyed a bottle of Chianti, bruschetta, pasta radiatori and vegetable pizza. All dishes were very shareable. The pasta had a nice spicy kick and we got additional Calabrian chili oil and flakes on the side. Our waitress was very accommodating for our group and checked in at a good pace.

Ordered to-go. But place screams amazing for special occasions or date nights. Very clubby. Chicken Parm with smallish serving of rigatoni in a white sauce was outstanding. Tender and full of flavor. Italian salad with my meats and cheeses and green was heavily dressed but not overly at all. GF DF pasta with red sauce was possibly the most homemade tasting of all of it.

Her name is Zoe and she is simply the best! I got a Caesar salad for my starter and the homemade croutons were to die for. I got the non alcoholic spritz as a drink and while it was refreshing, it tasted like straight sugar. For my main I ordered the flounder, it was delicious. My favorite part was the artichoke.
