Description

A dramatic and modern red-and-black decor makes this one of the chicest places in town. Valentino offers a sophisticated, upscale dining experience with contemporary Italian cuisine. Try the snapper with lemon aioli or green apple scallops and a carpaccio of swordfish to start. Homemade pastas include a delicious tricolored gnocchi with rabbit sausage. The main course has many interesting items, including buffalo tenderloin medallions.
