    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 Valentino’s.

    My wife and I came back here for our first wedding anniversary. We loved it. Great place, great food, and great customer service. First Class all the way.

    Five stars all around! We had Jodie as our server. She was great! She was very attentive. She was so good at filling my glass of water that I felt bad she kept having to come back. We got the calamari, which was amazing and wasn't rubbery like some other places. My boyfriend said the meatball appetizer was yummy. I loved the clam chowder soup. It's the best I've had since I visited Boston. Whatever room we had left over, we filled with the lasagna and the chicken parm. Both also delicious. I highly recommend going if anyone is in the Lake Orion area.

    If you haven’t been to Valentino’s you need to go. We finally checked it out. SO GOOD! Top notch customer service and you can tell everything is made from scratch. Wow. The special is ravioli. I can’t make a decision so I had the waitress pick. She did 2 kinds with some amazing sauce. House salad with fantastic dressing. Can’t wait to go back. I can’t believe how good Nikki was with my indecisiveness 😁. She nailed it.

    We love the pasta with pomodoro sauce and the spicy red sauce. The seafood saffron risotto is amazing, you've got to try it. The service is always too notch here too

    Sinatra could have walked into this place and felt at home. Classic atmosphere and great service. Most importantly, excellent food. Chicken perfectly done, classic tomato gravy and a very good gnocchi dish. We ate here before driving over to Meadow Brook Amphitheater for a concert. Great date night.

    First time here, Blake was our waiter, and a young man named Ethan kept our table looking nice also! Great atmosphere, great food - EXCEPTIONAL service from our waiter. Meals and appetizers were perfectly timed out. Blake took the time to show us the details of the wine list - Wonderful wine! Food made from scratch and fresh and very aesthetically pleasing when plated. We did not order desert but Blake still took the time to show us options for next time. Wonderful service! Waters full. We absolutely love this place!! NO COMPLAINTS!!!!! ALL smiles and 4 thumbs up!! :)

    Nice decor, white table cloths. Typical Italian menu. Great half off Wed. wine night. I wasn't crazy about the house sauce, dark and not at all fresh tasting, had more a stewed taste. But that is his sauce. The apps were nice. Great Calamari. It just wasn't the type of flavors I am used to. But not bad at all.

    Chicken was good and hot. Mashed potatoes were cold and the asparagus was way over cooked. My wife's salmon was good, but a bit dry.

    I love Valentino's! Great food, with huge portions! No folks, these people don't skimp, your entrée is generous, and you will be taking some home. It's worth your time to take a little trip to enjoy this classy little restaurant in Lake Orion. And if you're into meatballs, don't pass on the meatball appetizer they're the best!
