It looks fancy from the outside but that was about the only thing that impressed me. We had to wait seated for 20 mins before anyone even cared to take our order, when they did they walked away without even asking us would we like drinks. We had to stop another waiter to ask for water, who then only provided... More

We stumbled across Valentions whilst trying to decide on where to eat. I was swayed by the exterior and location, basically it looked pretty fancy so it was bound to be nice. How wrong I was! We were under the impression that cocktails were $9 (a sign at the front stated that) but apparently they differ on the menu and... More

restaurant in Northbridge is in a good location not in the middle of all the noise. Food is delicious and it has been our restaurant that we go to when it is our wedding anniversary. Calamari are to die for, meals are massive, all served with salad or side dish. good value for money.. More

I went there for coffee on a Sunday afternoon, (Jan 29th). Initially we were attracted in by Valentino's pleasant aspect and it offered a good opportunity to chill and 'people watch' out across the square in Northbridge. It appears that was going to be the best bit of the experience. Firstly the waitress who greeted us was quite abrupt and... More

Had waited ages to go here and thought it would be a lovely romantic dinner. How wrong I was. Food was boring & bland and the service was slow. It was extremely noisy and I could barely hear myself speak. More

After seeking out a restaurant that we wanted to go, only to find it closed; then going to a restaurant called positano (never go there, it is an absolute joke) where we asked three times for them to take our order but still couldn't raise a response from the arrogant boss... We finally walked accross the road to Valentino cafe... More

Good for a light dinner and meeting place in the centre of Northbridge. Food was good (been there 4 times) not amazing. The service is good but not particularly attentive. Not an intimate setting for couples. A nice place for a casual meal in the city with a group. More

Been twice in a few weeks now, and found it good value - they have a set menu with a bunch of options which was nice - I had the pasta special the first time, which was an intriguing mix of pork belly, rocket and apple cider cream sauce, very different! This time I had the lamb shank, which was... More

Food absolutely fantastic! Started with a tasting plate and a bottle of wine followed by the best cooked steak I have ever had. The chef is obviously a star. My girl friend had a pasta... I tasted it and I was jealous. The best most professional place in Northbridge. Hope to return soon. More
