Today, we decided to order food from a local restaurant while we were in town for some company business. We had high hopes for a meal that showcased authentic Italian cuisine, but we were quite disappointed. The pasta we received tasted more like a can of store-bought ravioli sauce just poured over a bed of angel hair pasta, lacking any depth or flavor. As for the lasagna, it seemed as though it had been taken straight out of a pre-packaged meal—bland and lacking the rich, homemade quality we were looking forward to. Overall, it was a far cry from the delicious Italian dishes we had envisioned. Less

Muy rico, el dueño es muy querido. Yo lo recomiendo!

This is a great little place. Perfect if you are in the downtown area for anything...like jury duty. They have a large parking lot which is a plus because parking downtown is ugly. Once you park, follow the umbrellas and you will find their entrance. I had the lasagna and it was great, especially the meat. It wasn't overly cheesy and had a nice spice to it.

What a great spot for terrific food. The bread on the bruchetta was very soft and light. I would recommend they add their bacon, some ricotta, perhaps some artichoke. It would take the flavor profile and that dish to the best in town. The pastas were excellent. I appreciate a pasta that isn't drowning in sauce.

What a great spot for terrific food. The bread on the bruchetta was very soft and light. I would recommend they add their bacon, some ricotta, perhaps some artichoke. It would take the flavor profile and that dish to the best in town. The pastas were excellent. I appreciate a pasta that isn't drowning in sauce. The portions are enormous, in my opinion, nearly all the patrons were taking to go boxes, which is a good sign that the food is excellent. But it drains the profit for their business. The price for two of us, including drinks and $10 tip, was $62. Great food, very reasonably priced. We will definitely return to try different menu items. Less

Customer service is amazing. Lasagna is the absolute BEST!

Rafael is an AMAZING chef. Everything is scrumptious! Kindness exudes all over this place! God energy and FANTASTIC FOOD.

We ordered the soup of the day (tortellini soup), lasagna, and linguini alfredo. The pesto tortellini is also delicious. We've been there three times and each time Raphael is very hospitable, restaurant looks clean, and the food is flavorful !... More

Pesto tortellini was amazing. Now I want to see if they can do it in a Butter/Garlic, Alfredo, etc.

This is the best Italian food I’ve had in a while and definitely the best in fresno. The portions are huge for the price and the food is amazing.

Lasagna was delicious!

Atmosphere was awesome Staff Awesome and food phenomenal!!!! It’s a hidden Gem!!!!

Simply the best! They serve a few items but my goodness are those few dishes out of this world! The food is made fresh and with love, and the best part? It’s AFFORDABLE!

It was my first time. The lasagna was delicious and Raphael and Grace are so friendly, great customer service.

This is the best lunch spot in downtown Fresno. Great food, friendly atmosphere and awesome music! It's a must!

Today, for lunch I ate mussels with linguine and it was so delicious!! This was my 4th time eating at Valentinos!!

Great fresh food and fun conversation 😊

We just ate there and we were treated like family and fed some of the best pasta we have ever had!!

Very friendly staff, excellent food. Get the pesto tortellini. You won't regret it

It smelled delicious and the food was amazing.

Ate here in February 2023 and going to be adding this delightful owner run spot to my regular downtown lunch rotation. Top notch food and friendly great service. Very reasonable prices too.... More

Went during lunch when they first opened. Was not super busy and ordered take out. Waited 55 minutes for 2 plates of food. Others ordered after us and were served before us. We checked in at the 20, 30, and 45 minute mark and were told our food was "being made".
