| - I have written reviews in the past where I stated that _____ is the best restaurant ever. Well I'm writing that again. We came here after wandering through the Venetian for a while and were seated without any hassle, I suppose a combination of 10pm and bad economy. We were given a choice between Valentino Grill, which is closer to the game area or Valentino, situated in the back and more "romantic". We chose the back. Even though we were one room away, it felt a world apart. It's dimly lit and much quieter.
We both got the "A Taste of Our Menu". And it was out of this world. It's essentially 15 bite-sized courses served 3 at a time on the same plate, with very good wine pairing for each plate. The courses and wine were brought out at a very comfortable pace with a brief description of each. Often I hesitate on upscale Italian because I didn't want to shell out for pricey pasta or ravioli but I gladly did as parts of a meal that also included rib eye, eggplant, calamari, veal, pork, salmon, etc... I know I already said these were bite-sized portions but even before deserts, we were already full.
If you want fine dining but can never decide on what to get, the multi-course options at Valentino is a great option!
