I left a 3 star review previously after a pretty bad experience. But gave them a second chance and this time the chicken parmigiana was missing the tomato sauce. Amateur hour and I should probably take this further. I could elaborate but I just can't be bothered. Kind of gutted because I was hoping to make this place a regular. Instead I'll just leave them a review they deserve

I've been here before and had a great experience. This time it was for my birthday, so I was excited all week, as I love Italian food, especially Lasagne. I could eat lasagne every day. However, I really did not enjoy Cafe Valentino's lasagne. For $28 I would expect an Italian restaurant to do the dish justice, but it was very bland. It was mostly tomato sauce, dry mince, and hardly any cheese. I could see very little bechamel sauce, which is what makes a lasagne. Even an enormous amount of salt and pepper didn't add any taste. My fiancé had the pork and fennel meat balls which was also very tasteless and disappointing. The duck fat potatoes we're greasy, yet dry in the middle. We left almost all of them. On a positive note, the passionfruit belini was nice. Also the lamb rib starter was exceptional, and the prawns were tasty too, maybe a little small but at least the flavour was good. Back to the lasagne, I've had better ones from pubs, deli counters and even frozen ones! I'm so gutted, as I'm not a fussy eater.... This was the worst lasagne ever. $135 wasted.

We had a tired and limping waitress. She was nice, but she was doing a pretty average job...my meal was ok, nothing to skite about.My drinks order was forgotten and had to ask again, was told the bar was/ had been busy, but then it appeared straight away.Great layout, atmosphere, and if I came back I'd order pizza.

My husband and I dined here Saturday night. The food was so tasty and the service was excellent. The surroundings are very cool, even though they were rather busy, we still got great service.

All things coincide, an excellent restaurant in all respects, delicious as in heaven, the restaurant is very, very beautiful and interesting, an atmosphere of heaven, courteous and pampering service, as if we were the only customers in the restaurant, and it was full, highly recommended.

The service was good, food was good, however it took a long time for food to be served.The menu is primarily pasta and pizza (pizza oven in the kitchen). It's a nicely decorated restaurant.
