I think this is now my favorite restaurant in Vegas -- a city that promises more than it delivers with most restaurants. Valentino seems "old school" Italian and they know how to handle a large table (7 of us -- business dinner).
They have a nice wine list with a great assortment of both California reds and wines from Italy, France, Spain ...
To be honest, I don't remember what I got for an appetizer, but I liked it. What I cannot forget is the short rib -- the BEST short rib I can remember. I literally don't think I talked to to anyone while I was enjoying this fabulous entree.
Service was competent and efficient. Oh, the tiramisu and chocolate mouse deserts are the bomb.
