Valentino's

About Valentino's

Tucked into a small space in the city centre, this is somewhere to book ahead for rather than chance — it fills up fast, especially around rugby weekends, and when it's full it gets genuinely noisy, which either suits your table or doesn't. The kitchen leans Sardinian and the portions are generous: arancini and the salsiccia starter come up again and again, along with seared sea bass and the tagliata, and there's enough that's vegetarian to keep a fussy child fed. Prices are fair for the quality, and the pre-theatre and set menus are the sensible move with children in tow. High chairs, a kids' menu and a few outdoor tables help. Staff are warm and attentive — one family describes being made to feel right at home. Food arrives well presented; leave room for the tiramisu.
