Valentino's in County Durham

Had lovely family meal to celebrate my daughter's graduation. Lovely food, great service at good prices! We have been going for years and had a lovely, lovely evening!

Did not stay, hence no comment about the rooms but the food was EXCELLENT, and great value.

My wife and I spent a night in Ripon and pre booked Valentinos. We were both very impressed with the room and evening meal. The Italian breakfast was amazing. We would certainly go again

Delicious food. Great atmosphere. Excellent service.

Lovely evening meal. Good range, fair price, attentive service. Dishes maybe a tad too salty for personal taste. Minor bill mistake was dealt with swiftly and professionally even though it was only noticed after leaving the premises.

Great meal, brilliant service. Did not stay in the rooms.

The best Italian food is a bit pricey, but the food is on point. They don't have a kids' menu but will do smaller portions.

Overnight stay and dinner. Bed very comfortable, room very nice. Ripon great place to visit.

Staff were really nice and friendly. Garlic bread and the steak were unreal. Pasta bolognese was really dry like it was reheated, this took the shine off our visit.

The staff were very friendly and attentive but not gushy! Most importantly the food was delicious and plenty of it. Even just sharing the bruscheto as a starter I struggled to finish my main. My husband's pizza was huge and perfectly cooked. He was tempted by the ice-cream and again, really tasty. Shall we returning.

If I could give more stars, I would! We have been coming to Valentino’s for 20+ years and it’s always amazing. The most delicious, authentic Italian food and super friendly staff who always make you feel welcome. Big thanks to Danny, Rick and the team ☺️

Wonderful fresh food, the pizzas arrived quickly and were delicious. Would recommend the Zabaglione for pudding! Very attentive staff and the ambiance was lovely with Italian opera being played.

We stayed at Valentinos during the first night of a multi day Yorkshire Dales trip. The room was a highlight - lovely, well appointed, comfortable king bed and great bathroom. Lots Of room!! The restaurant was fantastic - great pizza and service. Breakfast was delicious and fresh, with a flakey stuffed croissant, yogurt, eggs and more. We’d go back for sure!

Only had a one night stay but fantastic service staff and facilities we will be back Imogen was friendly and made our stay very enjoyable

Fabulous stay. The room, was small, but high spec. The restaurant was full of tasty food and the breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend the steak, which was infused with flours which set you up for the day. I would definitely stay again.

Impromptu visit for a Sunday evening meal. They managed to squeeze us in and oh so glad they did . Fantastic food from a great menu . Big portions and great service throughout. A real gem.

I stayed the night at Valentino’s with my wife when we were in town for a wedding. The rooms were really nice and clean. The staff couldn’t have been nicer and we were given arguably the best breakfast I’ve ever been served. We’re looking forward to coming back and trying the restaurant and staying another night.

Excellent food and service, great team, smart rooms. Breakfast and lunch 10/10.

Excellent meals great choice and friendly first class service

Wow! What an absolute gem of a place! Best pizza I've had in the UK. Reminded me of some of the best from when I lived in Italy! I had the excellent Valentino's Pizza and it was fantastic. Wonderful, super thin base, really flavoursome tomato sauce and quality toppings! However, I think it was my wife's meal that stole the show. A lot of places these days offer gluten free pizzas but their bases are often shop bought and feel like an afterthought, not so here. Really great quality, delicious base that you wouldn't know was gluten free. She had the Isolana pizza which was a serious, grown up affair. Rich, deep and savoury putanesca style sauce with delicious big salty anchovies. It was so, so amazing! The staff were super friendly and attentive, even turned on the radiator for us because we were a bit chilly. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere was great. It easy to see why this place is so popular!

The restaurant was perfect. Very good food and kind attention. Recommended place to have a good meal. The hotel? Law roof, small bed, noisy street; otherwise very well.

It has been a long time since we last came here, and we should have been back sooner as it was as good as we remembered. My mushroom risotto was brilliant and my husband enjoyed his chicken capresi just as much. With our friends we celebrated 🍾 and enjoyed the whole experience. Good selection of vegetarian options too. Thank you

Stunning comfy rooms, food great, service perfect.

Beautiful food, lovely place and cheerful staff. Spotless

Nice family restaurant. Good food and service. Clean and good size conveniences. Convenient location in the beautiful city of Ripon.

Room modern and comfortable. Italian breakfast tasty and staff very welcoming

Gorgeous food, brilliant service. We were staying at the ripon inn so it was very close to our hotel. Definitely recommend and will eat here again

Went in for a quick bite and ended up having a margarita pizza, stuffed pasta and a pistachio meringue for dessert. The servers were quick, polite and attentive. I'll be going back at some point in time to sample the other stuff.

Personally, Valentino’s is my favourite Italian restaurant in Ripon. The food is delightful and tastes very fresh. The atmosphere and restaurant itself is very calming and a nice space. The staff are really friendly too!

My husband and I went with friends last night to Valentinos. The atmosphere welcoming, staff helpful and polite very accommodating. The food was exceptional. The best aribiatta I have ever eaten. Everything faultless what a fabulous place. Well done.

Room very clean beautifully decorated evening meal fabulous breakfast excellent would definitely stay again

My Girlfriend took me away for my birthday and the room was absolutely beautiful! The restaurant is superb and the staff are first class and very attentive! We're returning next month for another slice of La Dolce Vita!!

I had an absolutely delightful experience at Valentino's restaurant and bed and breakfast in Ripon, North Yorkshire. From the warm welcome by the friendly receptionist to the impeccably designed room, every aspect exceeded my expectations. The room's amenities, including the remarkably comfortable bed and pillows, hi-spec smart TV, and thoughtful touches like USB bedside charging points, made my stay truly exceptional. The cleanliness of both the room and corridors was impeccable, and the addition of a coffee machine, cooling fan, and under-the-counter fridge with cold bottled spring water enhanced the overall comfort. The large walk-in shower and the delectable homemade Italian biscuits were delightful surprises. My evening at the restaurant was equally impressive. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, ensuring prompt and timely service despite the restaurant's busy atmosphere. The food was nothing short of scrumptious, providing an authentic taste of Italy with a diverse menu featuring locally sourced and Italian ingredients. The extensive selection of wines and desserts added to the overall culinary delight. What sets Valentino's apart is not just the exceptional quality but also the reasonable pricing, making it a standout choice compared to corporate rivals. To top it off, the thoughtful gesture of providing a takeaway continental breakfast for my early departure demonstrated their commitment to guest satisfaction. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Valentino's for both its outstanding food and accommodation. It undoubtedly deserves a 5-star rating, offering a memorable and affordable experience in the heart of Ripon, North Yorkshire.

Superlative service and dining experience. Innovative dishes prepared with top quality, fresh ingredients and, presented by professional staff who actually care about the hospitality they provide. Definitely recommended.

The hotel is small 5 rooms but very beautiful. The rooms are very clean. With a good comfy bed. The ensuite very clean and warm. The mini fridge has bottled water and bottle of milk. We booked a table at the restaurant. The food was amazing, fresh tasty. Also our first Italian breakfast was fresh an tasty. But no restaurant and hotel is complete, without an amazing staff. Friendly polite and very helpful. We would definitely return

Very comfortable stay in a lovely well equipped room. Staff were brilliant and I would recommend the restaurant downstairs 😋

Couldn’t be happier with this place, the customer service was fantastic everyone was so nice. The hotel room was stunning and fancy. And the included breakfast was 10/10. If you are staying in ripon definitely stay here.

Fabulous small hotel above restaurant with bonus of EV charging. Breakfast included and exceptionally good! Highly recommended.

Excellent meal and service, good atmosphere food beautifully prepared and tasted as good as it looked. All in all, well worth visiting.

Visited with a group of friends and all meals were delicious, will be going back soon

Another buisness stop... On arrival staff were very friendly This is also a busy restaurant and the smells coming from the kitchen were amazing. The rooms are located to the left just up a small flight of stairs. The lovely young lady showed me to my room which was red hot compared with the freezing temperatures outside, it really was toasty warm. The room had an espresso machine with all the facilities. The bathroom was an ample size, I was hoping for a bath but this one came with a shower, just my personal choice. After a lovely nights sleep in a comfy bed I came down for breakfast wow! I had Parma ham and poached eggs on toast with filled croissants. The freshly squeezed orange came with ice and a slice of orange and was soooooo refreshing I also had fresh coffee and a glass of iced water. Service with a smile speaks words. Left feeling extremely happy No less than 10 out of 10 Thankyou guys

Had breakfast, lovely atmosphere and service is great!

The staff and the food was excellent recommend it.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere & great staff!

What an absolute gem of a place. Without doubt, the best restaurant in Ripon. We frequent here regularly with family and friends and each time, our expectations are exceeded. The quality of food is spectacular, generous portions, fresh ingredients and absolutely delicious. The staff are wonderful. Welcoming, always happy and go out of their way to accommodate you. Having had the pleasure of staying overnight here too, I was hugely impressed with the standard of accommodation. Beautifully decorated rooms, furnished to a high standard and immaculately clean. We would recommend Valentino’s to anyone, without reservation. Well done to Rick, Danny, Pablo and team for their tremendous efforts and hard work.

The rooms were very european contemporary in style. Tastefully decorated comfortable functional nice wee touches like a jar of biscotti. Coffee pods decent TV and a wet room like shower. I enjoyed the room. Resteraunt dinnef was informal nicely prepared hearty portions of food. breakfast not the usual fry up but a more thoughtful and satisfying alternative with a medeteranian twist. I like Valentinos and would very happily go back for leisure. Nice place, great food, kind considerate folk.

Keep going back for Valentinos own pizza .

Fabulous venue, staff and amenities excellent. Food in restaurant was immense. Will deffo come again, next time in Ripon

My wife and I were stayed at Valentino's for one night and we absolutely loved the room we had as well as the restaurant. We were upgraded to the best room because it was our honeymoon and there were fresh flowers in the room for us to enjoy along with a lovely note! The suite was very spacious, two floors with a sitting area, two bathrooms and a large bedroom with a very comfortable king sized bed. The food at Valentino's was excellent! We had dinner and breakfast. We went to Italy shortly after being here and the dinner we had at Valentino's was better than all the meals we had in Italy. The staff were excellent and we loved the little town of Ripon, even though we didn't get much time to see it. Rick the owner and cook was a great host, thank you!

Well after 15 enjoyable years eating last night not the best , long wait for service long wait for meals folded pizza lacking the usual standard of filling starter brill so was the sweet and where’s the atmosphere gone

The food here is very good witha great atmosphere cant comment on the rooms .

This a gem in the heart of Ripon. Having stayed a weekend, the room was elegant & tastefully dressed. The bathroom & shower was top notch. The food was awesome. I cannot remember tasting better & the breakfast probably the best I’ve had. Colin D

Super family-friendly restaurant. Great food and puds!

We were in Ripon for a wedding and are so glad we chose to stay with Valentino's. The overnight guest parking immediately took the drama out of finding somewhere to keep the car. We were allowed into our rooms a bit earlier than expected after a really friendly greeting. We were incredibly impressed with the service and quality of breakfast the morning after. We'd recommend Valentino's to anyone that needs a room in Ripon.

Never fail to be impressed with Valentino's. Rick, Bruno & Dan and all the staff are brilliant. We always look forward to our all too rare visits to Valentino's and never disappointed. If you are visiting Ripon this is the best Restaurant!

Absolutely amazing. Stayed in the rooms upstairs - beautiful, fresh, clean. Ate dinner and it was superb. And the breakfast in the morning was the cherry on top!! So glad we stayed here! Owner is fabulous!!

From the moment I first telephoned the restaurant to say I had arrived,I was greeted with such a warm welcoming voice.once we got inside you could tell what a beautiful cozy place this was ,fresh flowers about,tulips on dinner table.our room was luxurious,quiet and very comfortable.the food was fresh and gorgeous.breakfast was even better if it can get better.warm croissant filled with Parma ham .good hang over breakfast served .10/10 for us .thank you Valentino's

Food was amazing authentic Italian couldn't fault anything with evening meal. Breakfast was amazing i had filled croissant and baked eggs in tomato and beans. Staff were very friendly and welcoming from start of our stay though to checkout. Very nice touches in room coffee,tea,water,milk and biscuits. Very close to main square and cathedral. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

An excellent meal with a crowd and despite there being so many of us, service was exceptionally well coordinated. I would certainly recommend to others.

Highly recommend this for its position, easy parking, availability of electric car chargers, excellent staff, lovely room, spotlessly clean, fantastic food, knowledge of coeliac diet requirements. Just brilliant and good value for money. We would certainly stay again if we head north.

Fantastic stay at this Hotel/Restaurant,rooms were very cosy and tastefully decorated,staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us, amazing food, will definitely visit again.

Nice ambiance, good food abd good service.

Wonderful place to stay in Ripon. Warm welcome, beautiful room, very comfortable bed and a delicious Italian breakfast. We would definitely come back.

Great place to stay. Breakfast was lovely. Really nice people.

Stayed here for a couple of snowy nights, the room was comfortable and clean, the bathroom very smart. The food was excellent especially the unusual breakfast, very friendly owner and staff. Very central to Ripon. Thoroughly recommend it

First class menu and kitchen. I could eat here every day.

Excellent dinner, room and breakfast with convenience of onsite parking for residents and very central location. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Couldn't recommend this place more. The staff were all absolutely amazing, so friendly, gave top class service and were so helpful. The room was spotless and lovely. Looking forward to our next stay here. The owner/chef sorted the best gourmet breakfast for us in the morning, delicious and a top hangover cure!

Had a fantastic stay. Room comfortable, clean, well equipped. Staff friendly helpful. Excellent value. Best thing, though, was the food, breakfast plenty of options and evening meal Excellent. Gluten free not a problem. Highly recommend to eat and/or stay. Good vase to explore ripon and this part of Yorkshire.

Great welcome, great food and a very comfortable room. Love it!

Very comfy bed in spotless beautiful room. Very welcoming staff and the breakfast is outstanding! Ripon is a lovely city to stay in and this lovely Italian restaurant is a great choice offering superb dining up market accommodation.

Had dinner here, fantastic food, very friendly and welcoming staff, will definitely be back again

Wow what can I say! Brilliant experience all round from a reserved parking space, friendly staff, beautifully presented room, excellent food and a great location for wandering round Ripon with all it's history and culture. Great value as well. Highly recommended. If you fancy a trip to Ripon, stay and eat here!!

Stayed here for 1 night and the rooms were beautiful, with free on site parking but what really made this place stand out was the food and service. Staff were friendly and very attentive. Evening meal was delicious and the breakfast whcich is Italian themed offering great selection and was phenomenal.

The food was absolutely gorgeous and they couldn't do enough for you. Highly recommended and we will be returning when in the area.

This is an excellent "Restaurant with rooms" with a great location. There are are a small selection of rooms all decorated to a high boutique standard. Italian food served to a high standard and breakfast served either English or Italian whatever you prefer. Highly recommend. 👌

Room was excellent with all the stuff you could possibly need. Food is equally good with tremendous service.

When I arrived I had a reserved parking space waiting for me Checking in was Simple. I was shown to my room. Everything was shown and explained. Cold water and milk in the Mini fridge The food in the restaurant was to the highest standard, as was the service. Breakfast was different, but delicious. I can t wait to return. When close to Ripon, thus is the only place to stay explained.

The food and service here was outstanding I would visit again. We did not stay here but it looked like a great place to stay as well. There is plenty to do and see in the village

What a first class establishment with friendly efficient staff with an excellent feature being breakfast.

Close to town, great welcome, friendly staff, amazing food. Will be back

Excellent accommodation very friendly staff be back soon !!!!

Stayed overnight bed breakfast and Dinner Superb service Great Italian food on offer Superb room Lovely friendly staff Not cheap, but you get what you pay for I would highly recommend this hotel / restaurant

We stayed at Valentinos for 1 night last night for our anniversary in the toscano room and From arrival to checkout our stay was perfect. The room was small but we did book the smallest room which was more than adequate. It was very comfortable and decorated to a very high spec, from the stylish doors to the chrome sockets n switches, every detail covered. The bathroom was lovely with a dual shower, the bed was very comfortable and we had silence all night. There were biscuits, fresh milk and bottled water in the fridge for us. The 2 ladies who checked us in and served in the resturant were lovely whilst the owner himself served breakfast and was very nice and accommadating. The food was amazing all freshly cooked to order. We had our evening meal there also which was delicious and breakfast was an Italian style breakfast and was cooked to perfection. Overall I would score 10/10 and will be staying again

Great Italian restaurant with rooms in a lovely Yorkshire Market town Top class Italian food on an extensive menu pizza pasta and meat and vegetarian dishes Very clean and well appointed rooms with breakfast to die for that has an Italian twist on a busy road so a little traffic noise but still 5*

The best Italian food in North Yorkshire and with fabulous attentive waiting staff. Perfecto! Pizzas are the best. As good as those from New York City. A special personal touch was the happy birthday ice cream. It was a low key celebration. We will return. If you're in Ripon, pay it a visit. You won't regret it.

A true example of excellent hospitality! Without a doubt one of my most favorite stays in the historic town of Ripon, at the gateway to the yorkshire dales! Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the staff and owner. The staff are extremely friendly, the restaurant very flexible (appreciate this!) and the restaurant staff are fantastic and hugely accommodating. Had several great evenings here, food and drinks absolutley gorgeous which obviously also added up to the experience. The suites are beautiful and it was fantastic to walk in to such a quiet and homely setting. Highly recommend

Lovely food, great staff and very pleasant surroundings. Well worth a visit

On Saturday evening my family booked a meal in this Restaurant, to celebrate my Daughters birthday, and everyone really enjoyed their meals. The young Lady attending our tables was very helpful, and understanding of my G/Children's needs. Thank you for a wonderful evening. (I called in today to thank them, but they also deserve this mention).

Lovely service and superb food, will definitely be going back

Great food, good service, pleasant atmosphere - will defo be back

Lovely atmosphere, friendly attentive staff and food was absolutely delicious, wine was very good also. Best GF pizza (Valentino special ) i have ever had. One of the best places to eat in Ripon! Highly recommended.

Would give 10 stars if I could! Superb service from start to finish, very clean, modern room with excellent amenities, loved the coffee machine, mini fridge with fresh milk and complimentary bottled water, demister mirror in the bathroom, picture TV, extremely comfortable bed, air con unit, fresh flowers ❤️ just wow! Food, both dinner and breakfast was delicious, we've been to Italy but can honestly say these were the best calzones we've ever had! Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Ripon! Thank you Rick & tram. Hope to be back soon xx

The fish and prawn dishes were exceptional. Spaghetti dishes not enough sauce due to too much spaghetti, but still tasty. Excellent service too

Staff were so lovely and were very kind to our children, Talked and joked with them whenever possible. Very kind people and food was amazing! Made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in! Will be back soon

Excellent rooms. High standard of finish. Shower amazing. Staff very friendly. 100% recommend. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for

A good local Italian with a wide ranging menu at good prices. The food was generally good ( a bit more sauce on the salmon spaghetti?) and the staff were great and the atmosphere friendly. 👍

Fabulous stay, friendly staff and brilliant breakfast. Thank you

Lovely food. Family friendly. Nothing is too much trouble.

Excellent food, friendl, helpfull staff, nice atmosphere. Thank you for an enjoyable experience.
