Valentino's Cucina Italiana — Restaurant in Norwalk

This unassuming spot is definitely a hidden gem for Italian food in Norwalk! From the moment we walked in, we felt like family with our server, Michele. She was so kind and walked us through some of the best menu items since she knew it was our first time. It’s clear that there’s a lot of regulars that dine here and it’s easy to see why. The food came out quickly, and everything was excellent! The ribs were cooked perfectly, and the pumpkin ravioli was a nice special for the fall. They told us they recently put pizza back on their menu, and we were glad they did because the lasagna pizza was fantastic! Generous portions all made with fresh ingredients. We’re so glad to know about this place and will be recommending...

This place is easy to overlook when passing it, but this place surpassed any expectations I've had. As soon as you walk in, they greet you like an old friend. They're very customer-oriented and it's evident that everyone cares about the business. There was a small mix-up with the order, and I was going to let it go, but the owner was adiment that he would accomodate me and went above and beyond to make sure I had a good experience. The atmosphere is very cozy and they seem to have a good wine selection, although I didn't stay for dine-in, and the pizza was amazing; great sauce, amazing taste......

After Hearing about Valentino's, I went for the first time on Sunday evening. We were a party of three. We had the Eggplant rollatini and the chicken wings as apps. They were delicious! I especially loved the wings, which were crispy and tender from the Brick oven. For entrees, I had the Orecchiette with broccoli Rabe and my son had the chicken parm, my brother had the Linguini with clam sauce. All three were excellent. I loved our waitress, the ambience and the coziness of this place. ...
