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.

Service was excellent, food is top notch!!! Highly recommend!!!

Ordered tortellini soup and lasagna. Fair price for plenty of food! Tortellini soup is definitely the highlight, delish and rich soup with perfectly prepared tortellini.

HUGE servings awesome Chef, wonderful staff! Our first visit, spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna delicious! Our Chef and his assistant such warm friendly people, make you feel like family! We can't wait to come back to Valentino's!

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 box... More

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.

I love this place and they give you big portions. It is a must try place I will be returning again. We tried the lasagna, bruschetta and the pesto tortellini. It was all amazing.

Owner was friendly and kind. Great prices and wonderful food!

Spinach Ravioli, opted for a red sauce. Yummm!

It was an amazing experience. Food was fresh and absolutely delicious. The owner was very hospitable.

This is an incredible restaurant with amazing owners. The food is amazing. Highly recommended

Family like atmosphere and approach by staff, very warm and friendly while hard working. Food taste - out of this world!

This place is one of the best. Super amazing customer service and their foods are delicious! So welcoming that I came back often! 🥰

I stopped in for a quick lunch and loved it! The BEST lasagna I have ever eaten!!

Great food highly recommend, great service met owner excellent customer service highly recommend to everyone

Wow...., what a hidden Gem!! The food was excellent!!!

If you're looking for a great place to eat, check out Valentino's dowtown Fresno in the Galleria, and tell them Coach Flex said to come by and get a meal! The food is amazing and the hospitality is even better.

Awesome food and awesome people! This place is the best, super friendly vibe 👍 Love it!

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 !

This was our first time trying Valentino's and omg! The food was amazing and fresh. The owner and his daughter are such sweet people and very welcoming. Everything we ordered tasted delicious and we will definitely be going back!

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

Valentino’s was recommended by a friend of mine and let me tell you, their food and service is amazing. The food is delicious and made to order right in front of you! The service is welcoming and I definitely felt like I was right at home. I will continuing visiting and recommending Valentino’s to my friends and family.

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! Most affordable place to eat in downtown Fresno. And the portions are huge! Less than $20 bucks and you have lunch for 2 days because they give such generous portions.

Great place for a downtown lunch. If you want to call to prep a dish for a shorter turn around they have you covered. Generous portions and reasonable prices. And very friendly.

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

I had such wonderful experience at this restaurant. The food was really good and the stuff was super friendly; especially, when I first walked in, they had nice music playing in background.

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.

Rocks

I’m glad this place is opened. Every dish that I’ve tried so far are how I like them. The flavor is subtle and not overwhelming. Very relax atmosphere and friendly.

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". They eventually apologized for the mistake and gave us a complimentary slice of cake, however the extremely long wait left us with a ver... More

Valentino's is family owned, and it shows in the care and quality of the food and the customer service. Go early off you want their signature lasagna--it sells out quickly and it's perfect.

They have great customer service. The food is very good. It’s only one step from homemade pasta but they make their own Italian salsa and sausage to fit the flavor of Italy.

Excellent food, concise menu, truly hospitable. Perfect for a quick visit during thr lunch hour. Rafa even takes the time to chat with customers between orders.

Yesterday, 11/28/22, was the first time I tried this restaurant and they have now gained a forever customer. I had the Bruschetta and it was absolutely delicious. So fresh. I cannot wait to try their other dishes.
