Valentino's Italian Grill — Restaurant in Lake Orion

From the moment we walked in, there was a "wow" factor about it! I'm not sure if it was the love entertainment the social genuine bar atmosphere or the smitten parties within the place, whatever it was it was appealing and I could not wait to have a seat! The young host told us about 15 minutes for a table, my boyfriend and I said no problem and waited until we were to seat. It was less than 5 minutes later we were on our way to a table for two! I honestly can't rave enough about the family oriented atmosphere we were in, It was warm welcoming and gay! We were greater by our friend for the night (waitress) Angela! And started off the night with an order of martinis that sounded so appealing! I order the pomegranate martini and my guy ordered the Bloody Mart martini. The drinks came quick! We ordered the shrimp and calamari combo for an appitizer along sing with the complementary bread that is to DIE FOR! My guy and I sipped our drinks, conversed among one another. We ordered our meals. I ordered the special of the night Chicken Diane and my guy ordered what Angela recommended, the asiago stuffed gnocchi! The food did not take long at all to be served! My meal was so good so much flavor I was very satisfied. And my guys meal was maxing as well very rich in flavor! We had the manager come to our table and ask us how everything was and offered her helping hand if need be. We even had room for dessert, we ordered the cannolis, the fried cheese cake and the Oreo cheesecake they were all so savory and fresh! Over all I enjoyed my experience here at Valentinos and we will be coming back it was worth the drive! We were even greated by the entertainment while exiting! I love...

Valentino’s exceeded all of my expectations… I was greeted with warm hospitality. The atmosphere was extremely cozy and comforting.

The menu offered a wide variety of authentic Italian dishes. The house bread was soft, light, and buttery. It melted in my mouth. Their appetizers are delicious. We ordered the calamari, meatballs, and beef tips. The tomato basil soup tasted rich, definitely my favorite tomato basil of all the restaurants I’ve tried.

I tried their Chicken Marsala and it was absolutely amazing. It was perfectly cooked and the sauce was savory. The service was flawless, with attentive staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and wanted to make sure I had a great experience dining in. Finally, the tres leches cake never fails to leave me wanting more. It is the most delicious desert.

Overall, this Italian restaurant is perfection. I highly recommend it to anyone, whether dining in for a romantic dinner or having a lively dinner night out with friends. This restaurant is everything I could’ve asked for! My favorite place...

Valentino’s is an amazing restaurant. The best service and food hands-down. From when you walk in, the cute hostess greets you sweetly. Diane, our server, was making us laugh throughout our dinner. She also patiently helped each six of us decide what we should get as our entrees. I couldn’t help myself and ate two pieces of the starter bread. It was warm, soft, and so good. My family ordered meatballs, calamari, Italian sausage, and the beef tips as our appetizers. I got the palomino ravioli and got to choose to do half butternut squash and half cheese. Couldn’t decide between the two, so I’m glad that they had that option! My family is quite picky. Hearing them all say that they loved every single dish was impressive, to say the least. The 3 milk cake is a dream, as well as the tiramisu and gluten-free chocolate cake. I’d have to say that this is my all time favorite restaurant! I live 45 minutes away and the food/service was well worth the drive. Will be coming again very soon! If you want great dinner and service, try...
