j	john brunton on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really disappointed in our meal. Scallops were fishy, ravioli very bland, chips greasy. A hair was found in one meal but nothing was done by management after advising waitress . Would not recommend.
B	Bryan Botha on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Calamari starter, pizzas for main, cold beer, kid's food menu, delicious desserts and white sambuca liqueur coffee was all well presented and deliciously fresh. Friendly waitress and manager. Awesome way to end a warm Friday in Turangi.
G	Gloria Ngawati on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Last minute what to have for dinner, Valentino's it is. We really enjoyed the quint Italian restaurant setting of simplicity, just like in Italy Rome my comparison. Meals not take long at all. No reservation made, thankfully had available tables. We ordered the Steak wrapped with bacon and mushroom sauce, cooked perfect to our liking. The Lamb so tender was delicious. And the kids meal Spaghetti bolognese and side bowl of fries went a treat our daughter loved it, couldn't finish it all and was able to bring home for after snack. Starters Shrimp cocktails yummy, salad fresh and just the right amount of dressing for our likings. Dessert the Valentino Special, and Chocolate Fudge, enjoyed every little bit of it! And the recommendation of wine to compliment our meals was spot on. The service was excellent. Thank you for our enjoyable family dinner night out. Just what we needed xo
B	Benedict Uy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were looking for a place for dinner and was able to get a table here when we arrived around 2030. I think it did help that we called ahead and they let us know that the last order was going to be around 2030. We arrived and was seated and given a bit of time to look through the menu. They had quite a lot of Italian dishes and also had a few specials board scattered around the restaurant. I went with the duck livers followed by the lamb with balsamic. I quite liked the duck livers but didn't get a full hit of the marsala sauce. The bread soaked up the delicious sauce so which made it super tasty. I quite liked the lamb but the balasmic didn't have much rosemary or garlic flavour to it. The chips were what you'd expect at a fish and chip shop. I was able to try the bolognese and I wasn't a fan of the flavour. It was nice but different from what I expected. I really liked the saltimbocca. It was juicy, salty and really tasty. The special roast veggie ravioli in butter sage sauce was nice but I did find the pasta a bit on the firm side. The service was friendly, even though we were there quite late. The decor of the restaurant was also quite interesting with lots of interesting knick-knacks. There was also an area with walls covered in postcards. A nice restaurant in Turangi for food.
B	Brent Boynes on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ From the moment we walked in, the place felt unique and special, not in a jaw dropping, wow kind of way, but a cute and charming way. It feels authentic and relaxed. The food and service was tip top too.
B	Ben Keddie on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Disappointing experience overall and way over priced. Food was all either pretty bland or extreamly overpowering with one flavour. The red wine sauce in one steak dish had not been cooked off properly and tasted like the whole bottle had simply been poured over the plate, looked like that too. Staff weren't very friendly (except for one waitress.) Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place to anyone.
M	Michael Borell on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A travelling family all over New Zealand chose a little restaurant on the main road of Turangi. A Family dine at a mini trattoria in Turangi great montepulciano Italian wine, entree mussels in a white wine lemon sauce, was the best I’ve had in quite sometime. the scaloppine con funghi in cream was divine. Tiramisu dessert to top it off. Service exquisite and food catered well for all the family. Served to perfection and fast. Thank you Ladies (Front of house) and the Chefs. Great value wonderful meal.
T	Tu Biddle on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We ate at Valentino's last night and had a great time. We had the large focaccia to start. Spaghetti alla Cabonara and Scaloppine con Funghi for the mains with an added side of vege. The steak was tender and the mushroom sauce was the most delicious I've ever had! Glad I saved some focaccia to mop it up!! Living in Auckland I forget how good portions are outside the city. For example, the fries that came with the steak were enough to share. We got the Valentino's Special for dessert. It's better than tiramisu as it isn't soggy. Definitely recommend and always great to support a local, family run establishment. Thanks for a great dinner!!
