Caffe Valentino - Philadelphia
Beautiful Italian BYOB, and a staple for the last 7 years in the Pennsport area of South Philadelphia. Traditional cuisine and fresh pasta dishes are what make this little known gem so special. Formerly part of a trio of restaurants, Caffe Valentino now stands and shines alone after its new expansion: Caffe Valentino seats 45 downstairs in its rustic first floor dining room and a maximum of 100 guests in its elegant second floor dining room with full, open kitchen. If you haven't dined at Caffe Valentino before, it is a definite "must try" for your next dinner out or family gathering. Great for large groups as well as romantic dining.

"love this place - love it so much i feel protective - don't want it overrun - but it really deserves to be famous. fabulous food, no issues with special requests, just wonderful. reminds me of new york restaurants. so tired of the way chefs in this city overuse vinegar. everything tastes the same. but not hear. you get the full flavor of the foods you eat. and a relaxed experience. a gracious experience. as if you're dining in a friend's home. just can't say enough about this place."

"in a quiet neighborhood with ample free street parking. Everyone greeted us when we entered, were accommodating once we were seated and were very helpful in answering all of our questions. There were 2 large groups when we got there but it never got noisy. The eggplant soup was quite delicate and the home made fettuccine with mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and shrimp was delicious. The chocolate mousse was heavenly! Will definitely be back!"

"We have been going to Cafe Valentino for a number of years. Their food is delicious and reasonably priced, the service is efficient and friendly and the ambiance is very nice. It is always reliable and so it is a great place to bring friends who have not yet dined there."
