"The cutting edge is represented by dishes such as a house-smoked swordfish "purse" filled with tuna tartare and crowned with feathery-light fried fennel and presented with not one but three sauces: an orange, a pistachio and a fresh mint sauce. Or a revis..."
"Exquistely elegant and classically romantic, Valentino is favored by quietly whispering young lovers and white-haired couples celebrating silver anniversaries. With chef Angelo Auriana's amazing menu, including an assortment of traditional Italian pastas,..."
"Finally we got our appetizers. Tortino di Funghi was delicious. Very pungent mushroom flavor and we loved it. The texture of the tortino was creamy, but the little bits of wild mushroom made it sometimes chewy, sometimes even crunchy...."
"Valentino is a good choice if you're splurging on just one special dinner. Charming owner Piero Selvaggio oversees four other restaurants, but his distinctive touch still pervades this 32-year-old flagship...."
"With exquisite floral arrangements, a sophisticated room and professional service, this is still one of the best special-occasion restaurants in LA. Selvaggio, the owner, recently brought in innovative young talent (executive chef Ezio Gamba and chef de c..."
"Though these wines may not have the structure of great Barolo, they still deliver the wondrous, mysterious essence of the grape...."

"Aragosta, Pomodori e Burrata - Lobster, Organic Tomato, Fresh Burrata, Basil Oil Salad Delicious! Each ingredient was enjoyable on its own, the lobster was wonderfully cooked sweet and fresh, the Burrata smooth and rich..."
"However, this last experience was one I do not wish to repeat. My wife and I opted for the seafood tasting menu with the selection of wines...."
"Before focusing on the menu, you'll notice the rolling wine cart, filled with that night's by-the-glass selections. ) Once that's settled, we recommend you try the Pesce Crudo e Colatura di Alici (aka Italian sashimi), Il Culatello (tender prosciutto) and..."
"For a romantic experience, whisk your Valentine away to this most gracious world-class Italian. Then let famous owner Pierro Selvaggio or his capable captain design an "extravaganza menu" for the two of you...."
