Valentino Ristorante in Bradford

Went in on spec at 5.30 on a Saturday night and got a table for two. Excellent food and superb service, will definitely be going back

Had a lovely meal with my sister and elderly parents last night, great atmosphere we never felt rushed even though we were just having mains and a glass of wine. Food was excellent and very reasonable especially as our parents were paying 😀 if I had to find anything to be unhappy about and it was more for my sister, who is celiac there wasn't any gluten free bread and she had to watch us 3 devour a basket of the most divine Italian bread.

We came here on holiday and wanted a find dinning experience, and we got it! The food was spectacular and good value. Thank u guys it made our holiday eating at your restaurant! Absolutely fabulous!

We had a great meal last night and the staff accommodated the family food intolerances with ease.

Aug24- food was good. Service was good. Sat night and availability. Spent £45 pp. Shared starter and main each with wine shared.

We hadn't been to Valentino's for many years but went last night to celebrate my birthday. Wow! The food was really delicious. I had calamari to start, followed by spinach cannelloni, my partner had goats cheese followed by lasagna. Really couldn't fault it and probably the best Italian meal we've had for ages. The staff are friendly and professional and the restaurant is smart, modern and has a lovely feel. We will definitely return as I need to try the calzone (they look very good!).

We recently visited Valentino and had a rather uneven dining experience. When we sat down, we immediately noticed a spiderweb between two wine glasses with napkins, and a spider weaving its way across. After removing the glasses and napkins, another spider appeared from the second napkin. I asked the waitress to replace the glasses and napkins, and while she seemed quite embarrassed, she responded quickly. When it came to drinks, I ordered a Diet Coke as listed on the menu. Unfortunately, what I received was a flat, off-brand cola. I asked for a fresh glass and specifically requested the original Diet Coke, but was again given the same flat, cheap substitute. It was clear that this was the only cola option they had available. The starters were a bright spot in the meal. I enjoyed the antipasto, which was quite good. However, the main courses were disappointing. I ordered a chicken dish with spinach and Italian cheese, but there was no cheese to be found. The dish consisted of a poached chicken breast with a crema sauce mixed with finely chopped spinach, lacking any seasoning and overall quite bland. The roasted vegetables on the side were inconsistent—some were fine, but others, like the potatoes, seemed old and had a grey, unappetizing appearance and taste. On the positive side, the service was decent, and our young waitress was very nice and apologetic, though it was clear she couldn’t do much to improve our experience. In summary, while the starters were enjoyable, the cleanliness issues, subpar drinks, and disappointing main courses left much to be desired.

Great place to go very pleasant friendly owner and staff . Always very nice food and a very pleasant atmosphere: I would always recommend nice place !

For the first time I felt the main course was underwelming. We are regular visitors but my chicken dish was pretty tasteless,as though unseasoned and not coloured up in a pan before the sauce was added. I hope this was a one off lapse. It's very rare for me to have chicken because it can be a dull meal. This validated my view so back to fish dishes next time . Otherwise all was fine .

Amazing food very quick service

Having been here in the kast our recent visit was no different....Excellent...the starters are enormous, my husband had the mixed seafood I had the crab and avocado ( delish) the bread is very authentic and tasty too. We decided for steaks,...wow really big steaks, very very nicely grilled, lots of sides and lovely sauces. The apple pudding was extraordinary...yummy on all three courses thank you. Staff are very helpful and considerate and kind...and accommodating. Would highly recommend....

Great food including the pepperoni, pineapple, mushroom and ham pizza to take away. Fantastic place.

Lovely meal but need warm plates

We have had many a meal here as a couple and as a family. We are never disappointed, portions are good, prices are reasonable. Staff are friendly and polite.

Really friendly staff. The food was lovely traditional Italian.

We went for mothers day. Food was amazing and the waiters could not do enough for us. They were fantastic with the children in our party too.

Amazing place fantastic service and staff and also my daughters Said a very big thank you for their Pizza it was delicious and the pudding was amazing too

As always, we (11 of us) were very well looked after at Valentino's. All the dishes served were lovely and well appreciated; the service was at the usual excellent level (special thanks to Naz for making us welcome). We all fully enjoyed my wife's birthday celebration. We will be back.

Went yesterday evening with three friends. Booked before we went and our table was ready when we arrived, food was lovely and very reasonably priced. Restaurant had good atmosphere and team were really nice and helpful £100 for 4 people for food and drinks good price. Would recommend.

Had a lovely family meal for 12 people. Service was excellent. They managed to bring 12 meals out almost together. The food was all home made, delicious and authentic. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. Would highly recommend

Enjoyed a nice meal here Christmas eve with the family, friendly staff and good value meals

An authentic Italian restaurant with great tasting food, well presented and served by attentive staff. Love it!

Food service excellent no problems slightly cold inside was the only draw back staff attentive v good night

A lovely restaurant with a family feel. We always enjoy a meal at Valentino's.

Both starter and mains excellent.

Loved it great food, only thing stopping 5 stars is a lack of vegan options

Lovely simple Italian style food. I had a spinach and ricotta cannelloni which was nice enough. The staff were very polite and attentive, service was very fast, especially for a Friday night. The dessert was obviously bought in, as you would expect but lacked flavour, supposed to be a a triple chocolate item but I'm not sure there was even any chocolate in there and the description was a little misleading. The coffee however was pretty good.

Excellent home made Italian food. I had the lasagna and couldn't recommend this enough. The side salad was ok, I've had better but that doesn't detract from the excellent mains. Definitely recommended.

Managed to book a slot for dinner although not quite the time we wanted it was still OK for us. On arriving we could see why time was an issue, the place was absolutely buzzing with all tables filled. The place was bustling all the time but considering how busy they were the service was pretty good and the food was fabulous. All in all an extremely good experience.

we went to celebrate anniversary and birthday and it was made so special. The food was again amazing. The service and atmosphere were brilliant as usual. Lovely place you won't be disappointed.

Really enjoyable night out. Great food and service. Thank you

Always a great evening at Valentino's. Good food in a friendly place.

Busy spot this, I would recommend booking. The food ( as every time we've been here ) was beautifully presented and tasted great.

Always had tasty food here,. The starters are enormous , mains much smaller. Nice choice of foods. Good service and pleasant . Would recommend.

We visited here for the first time in many years and we weren’t disappointed. It is as good as ever. Hubby had the pizza and I had the chicken and prawns in the lobster sauce. Service very friendly and good.

Brilliant restaurant food superb staff excellent will go again if ever in the area again. Birthday party for 30+ and food came out without a hitch

Went on a work Christmas party, hadn’t been for a while but service and food were excellent. Will visit again, when looking for a top class Italian restaurant.

Had meal a week ago with a group of friends. Best food had in a while. We all had a lovely time thank you.

Visited last night and was very busy but once again service was excellent The atmosphere was buzzing. The food was delicious and plentiful. We are never disappointed here. Although staff are busy they still cater to your needs and make sure everything is to your satisfaction.

Visited on Saturday evening with my daughter. As a family we have frequented this restaurant on many occasions over the years . The food quality and taste was excellent… the wine very palatable and reasonably priced and the service excellent in spite it being a very busy evening. ( Testament to its popularity) This restaurant is and always has been a firm favourite within our family.

Classic Italian food, generous portions and good service. We went on a Sunday evening - it was very busy early evening but quiet later.

Sadly a similar experience to my last visit here pre covid. Very cramped wait for a table despite booking. People having to squeeze past us entering or leaving the restaurant. Ordered 2 gin and tonics, a bottle of house red and some water. The wine and food arrived before the G&T's. The water never arrived at all despite asking for it again. We should really have sent the G&T's back. They were totally flat and warm despite containing 2 rapidly melting ice cubes. I noticed another table refusing theirs for the same reason. The tonic is kept in big plastic bottles behind the bar and not refrigerated and had obviously been open a good while. The food was just ok. We might even have ordered a dessert or coffee but we didn't receive a menu despite asking. Won't be coming again.

We ate here whilst on a short break in the area. From the moment we walked into the restaurant to leaving, the service was attentive and first-class. The food was excellent - authentic and great portion sizes too. We enjoyed a wonderful evening, very memorable. Highly recommended!

We ate here for the first time. Everything we had was very tasty. I started with garlic/tomato pizza bread and finished with the lasagne. Both very very nice. I also tried some of my partners meatballs which were delicious. We will definitely return.

Great food, great staff, great time had by all, such and good little restaurant in the heart of Bingley. We visited for a family meal on a busy Sunday afternoon and the food was fantastic, fast service and very good staff who took care of...

Nice food at regular prices! Good service and some tasty bread and pizza bread given as an extra! We were a group of four, was not hurried, they turned the music down without a fuss and we all just enjoyed our night outside,

Celebrated a family occasion at Valentino’s and it was lovely. Plus point to start with the air con , the restaurant was very cool which made for a good atmosphere. The food was lovely very traditional Italian which is very comforting. The service was excellent...

Ordered Garlic mushrooms, they smelt divine but the black pepper overpowered the garlic so ruined it. Pizza was just average, felt like a bought in base. My fillet steak was tasteless with a blob of pate on top and a watery non existent ‘mushroom’ sauce....

The food is very good, and well priced for the quality. The interior of the restaurant is nicely decorated and has a nice feel to it, although it is a little small and can feel crowded. We attended 30 or so mins near closing time...

We came here for a meal about 3 weeks ago - since then we have been back 3 times. I'd go as far to say we will be firm regulars now. It's great quality authentic meals with good service. I don't eat a right lot...

Brilliant 👏 in every way food delicious service excellent atmosphere great. Always friendly and efficient service really busy but we were not kept waiting and could not do enough for us. Best Italian resteraunt. Perfect in every way.

Once again Valantinos have provided a really excellent meal for a party of 18 , including the same tot as before. From the a la carte menu a range of meals were ordered and served by the excellent staff with no fuss. How the kitchen...

Lovely decor, music and ambience. Extensive menu. Great service. Delicious food. Only problem is that I live 3 hrs away!

This is all you could want from a local Italian restaurant. Friendly and family run, the service is excellent and the food is spot on. Tricolore salad, T-bone steak, risotto all well cooked and delivered with style (but no pretensions) to our table. It gives...

Family party of 12 one tot, range of meals ordered which all came together, hot and beautifully presented on plates that were very full of the tastiest food around, all served by an excellent friendly staff. Thanks also to the unsung heroes in the kitchen,...

Couldn't do enough for us. Had a pizza - absolutely the best ever. Highly recommended. Service, food, atmosphere; all were brilliant

We have been to Valentino's many times. On this occasion we were a party of four and every meal was outstanding (as usual). When the bill was presented, our host, who has a strong Scottish accent, said "Please add 10 for a gratuity". When the bill was presented, a tip of 10 pence was included. We explained that the intention was to tip £10. We put this right, but were impressed that the waitress had maintained her polite approach even when it seemed that a gratuity of 10 pence had been offered on a £129 bill. Full marks for diplomacy.A couple of weeks later we ordered a takeaway which we have reviewed separately.

This resteraunt is excellent the food is amazing and lots of it great value for money. The service you cannot fault it was really busy but had time to make sure our every need was delivered with a happy friendly smile. The family are lovely and Valentino would be proud of them all.

Enjoyed a delicious meal whilst on holiday in the area. Attentive service. Lovely fresh pasta and delicious steak. Highly recommended!

This has always been one of my favourite restaurants but this Friday I have to say it took top spot! Valentino’s is a quaint little Italian restaurant with good wine selection, fantastic warm inviting service and good portioned classic Italian food. What made this occasion ‘cream of the crop’ was a beautifully cooked fillet steak with aragosta sauce and half a lobster tagliatelle. Absolutely fantastic, Valentino would be truly proud of how you have excelled!

Went to this restaurant on a Saturday night, was quite busy but service was excellent - we felt very looked after. The food was delicious, starters were great and then we had a couple of pizzas, calzone and lobster ravioli.Very friendly staff, who were helpful throughout

Excellent as always everyone so attentive making the evening very memorable food exceptional and prices still reasonable fantastic atmosphere. Very enjoyable evening. Best Italian resteraunt.

My wife and I really fancied an Italian meal on Saturday 7/11. What better than Valentino in Bingley. We weren't disappointed. Due to the current lockdown, a takeaway service was on offer. We chose our meal online, rang the restaurant and it was ready for collection on time. I had a chicken meal, my wife the lobster ravioli. Both excellent. Hot and freshly cooked. Washed down with a bottle of Chianti. Will definitely be using the takeaway service again, so come on everyone, if you fancy Italian food at it's best, support the local businesses and help them through these difficult times.

We visited last night quite emotional as first visit since the lovely Valentino very sadly passed away. I have to say that the food service and atmosphere were all up to Valentino standard. We nearly all had Fillet steaks and they were gorgeous melted in the mouth and so tasty. Nothing is to much trouble for them. Very busy but the service was fantastic they were very attentive to all tables and not a long wait for food. Reasonable prices. Not to be missed.

We were having a few drinks in bingley and called on the chance we could get a table. The restaurant was busy but they could accommodate us. Food and service was excellent one of the best italians in the area

First time I have been to this restaurant as myself and my partner we like Italian foodBut unfortunately the food was poorly cooked I had the lamb shank which was tuff and chewy and my partner had sea bass which was not very good as wellMy partner is a chef and she cooks lots of sea bass in the restaurant where she worksI won’t be returning again even thought he replaced my dish with another dish which was no better

Had another great meal here. Great atmosphere very safe. Exceptional food and service as usual. Very reasonable prices. Nothing is to much trouble. Valentino is a really lovely man and makes sure you are looked after.

Always come here when we like to eat out locally - food is always consistently great and lovely service. Great value for money

Been coming here for years best Italian in Bingley well established very friendly staff very welcoming food amazing great choices never had a bad meal Claire

Great food great service friendly atmosphere. Has been one of the top eating places for years Will always go back

The food is lovely never had a bad meal here and we have been coming for years. Valentino never changes he is a lovely man so the staff are very attentive and if anything is wrong they soon put it right. The prices for food and drink ate very reasonable. Visit here and you will not be dissapointed.

Good food, family atmosphere. We had a dinner do for my niece who was going back to Chile. The staff were excellent and the amazing.

I went to this restaurant with my family, I have not been there for a number of years. The food, excellent, the service, superb. A true gem. I will definitely be returning.

The food is always delicious, good selection to choose from, good portions, the staff are attentive and friendly.

Just had a lovely meal 1st time for me won’t be the last ,my sister took me for an early birthday treat ,lovely place and lovely staff and we were made very welcome thank you

Went for a Friday meal with friends, good standard menu plus ever-changing specials board .all food came hot and tasty no complaints and 4 empty plates. The wine list is also well priced. They now offer an early bird menu including Friday evening ( we have enjoyed this on another visit)Traditional and enjoyable advisable to book but midweek slots may be available.

13 of us celebrated my wife Gill’s 60 birthday at Valentino’s.Firstly I booked for 11, forgetting myself and Gill. This was not a problem and was easily resolved by the owner and Staff.I must point out that the restaurant was packed with dinners.Orders were taken, the food delivered in a very timely manner, hot plates, food cooked superbly.13 of us, vegan and vegetarian and us normal eaters enjoyed what I would say was a feast.Thank you Valentino’s for a lovely evening.

Visited here on 29 September 2019 for our anniversary as we had won a voucher at a fund raising event for mental health and wow were we glad we did because that is the best Italian meal we have had in a long time. The staff were absolutely fantastic. Very attentive to your needs and very friendly and happy to chat with you. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was fantastic. The starters were lovely and my husband's steak and my sea bass were exceptional. My sea bass came with extras I didn't expect ( ie prawns and mussels) and other thins you would not expect. We would 100% recommend this restaurant and we will DEFINITELY be going back. If it wasn't for the voucher we would not have known about it. That' s fate.

Valentinos is just simply the best Italian resteraunt. The atmosphere is great the staff all lovely and friendly nothing is to much trouble. The food is delicious and plenty of it. Great value for money. Valentino is such a lovely man. Highly recommended.

This is the first time here hood atmosphere, good excellent , early bird is such good value for money , definately going again

Friendly service from helpful staff, decent starters and better main courses. A successful and well deserved Bingley institution !!

Lovely little restaurant for date night! Lovely atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff, nothing was too much for them. Would definitely recommend.

The moment we walked in the owner greeted us. We had a table at the window.

Just had a meal at Valentinos. Excellent very friendly staff. The lobster sauce is exceptional, delicate, smooth and mouth wateringley delicious. You will not be disappointed. Paul Farley.

Latest visit was to treat the Grandchildren who always pick Valentino's. An early dinner as the children had had a busy day. The children had their orders worked out in advance so it was just a question of confirming that everything was still on the menu, which it was. Drinks and starters arrived promptly and mains came after just enough "settling" time. We adults were looked after just as well and had a great meal. We have been customers for very many years and love the fact that the food is consistently good, and Italian.

After a day shopping in York we returned home to Bingley. A meal here ended the day on a high note. Had from specials stuffed peppers and crab tortellini also good meatballs for the starter. With a bottle of wine the 2 of us were fed for under £50. Thanks for a nice meal.

We have been going for years and Valentinos never let us down. Service is friendly and highly amusing. Food is excellent and so reasonably priced. I cant recommend enough.

Fantastic food, in warm welcoming surroundings. Definitely try the specials board, the lobster is not to be missed.

Love coming here Valentino is such a lovely man as are all his staff great service great food reasonable prices nothing to much trouble great atmosphere

As a party of 4 who have all enjoyed many great evenings of good food here our visit today didn’t deliver to our expectations. Yes, the surroundings were what we were used to but the apparent change of personnel made us suspicious. However, the relaxed atmosphere previously enjoyed was still apparent but in a different way. Sadly that’s not the only thing that is different! Garlic mushrooms that didn’t taste of garlic; a risotto that was dry and a pizza that looked like it had just been delivered from the local supermarket all lead to an evening meal that failed on too many levels for us. Other people appeared to be happy with what they had been served but for our party we all felt very disappointed! Will we return? Unlikely.

Was taken out by my son, wife and daughter, I had the whitebait followed by crab tortellini very enjoyable. Friendly staff in traditional restaurant. Very busy for a Thursday. Will be back.

Went here for mothers day with my family. The waiters here are hilarious, they are great entertainment as well as brilliant at customer service. They make you feel so welcome and tell all sorts of stories that are going on usually at the restaurant etc you are more than well looked after here. Anyway the restaurant itself is very clean and has a good atmosphere. The food is very good, tasty and authentic as well as very well priced. As well in this place you can get any pasta or risotto as a starter or pizza bread as a starter, so if you can't decide you can have either. Also nice touch with limoncello shots on the house near the end.

Restaurant on Main Street in Bingley next to a public car park which is free after 6pm. Tables are rather close together but warm welcome and shown to our pre-booked table promptly. The menu offers a good variety of options and there are also many specials available. Having read the reviews the two men chose the ribs which were plentiful but the sauce lacked something in the flavour. The calamari was excellent as was the pasta starter. Main courses included risotto, pizzas and pastas all of which were excellent. Couldn't managed desserts but had teas and coffees. Including drinks before dinner and a bottle of wine for four was just over £110. The service was unique.

very nice Italian restaurant. Friendly staff and made to feel welcome although this was first visit. realy nice risotto and chicken dish .Something for everyone and lots of fish on specials.

Went here for a meal the first in a very long time. The food was fine but the restaurant was cold, the heating was only aired meaning I sat with my coat on ( and not only me) we had a good evening it was just a shame the temperature took the edge off.

There's a nice place to visit! Very tasty food, good size portions, fantastic service! Well done Valentino!

We had a table booked for Wednesday 19th December only to find on arrival that the place was closed due to a power cut. Needless to say our evening was spoiled as had booked well in advance. I understand these things happen but would have thought the restaurant would have been in touch to at least apologise but we have heard nothing. This is not great customer service!

Very bad experience here Filthy, Cold, Cramped & possible Health hazard 😡 Lousy food, poor decor and not a nice place to eat Should be shut down
