This place is amazing! OMG the cheescake is to die for. The decor has now been updated, has a fresh look and feel. The owners Carmen and Ilona came and sat at our table and just chatted while our delicious food was prepared. This is a place the whole family can come, eat, and enjoy. My only suggestion is to wear clothing with elastic in the waist. 5 STARS all the way

Our first time there and we went because the entertainment was someone our group follows and enjoy. Food was good but have had better Italian in Myrtle Beach. Wine selection was small and not good. We had a large group so service was good considering. Would probably not go back again.

I love this place. My parents live in Myrtle Beach and I look forward to eating here everytime we visit. The Chicken Marsala is excellent!! Pasta is so good....the bread is fresh baked...and the folks who run the place are like family. I just wish they would open up a resturant in Northern VA. No good italian in this neck of the woods, up here.

A rare find, excellent food and service, friendly owners. Not the typical tourist trap like 95% of the places are here. Steak was excellent. Itallian dishes are authentic. I would highly recommend to everyone.

My husband and I came upon this restaurant a few weeks ago while just driving around. This has got to be the BEST italian food we have had in the 7 years we have been living in the area. We were seated right away even though it was busy that night. Our waitress was phenomenal, very polite and helpful. The food was outstanding !!! Definitely going to be a favorite place to have a great meal.

We used to go to this restaurant frequently when we lived a little closer and absolutely loved it. We've recommended it to many friends.

After about two years, we returned a few weeks ago and were SO disappointed. The restuarnt was dirty. The ladies bathroom was in terrible condition. It was clear to me it hadn't been thoroughly cleaned or maintained for quite some time.

The owner was also present during our visit. He was wearing some old jeans and an untucked shirt. He looked sloppy and unprofessional. At one point I went back out to our car to grab something and he was sitting just beside the main steps up into the restaurant smoking a cigarette. Yuck.

One really nice touch this restaurant has is an accordian player. He was so nice to my children and really made our evening pleasant.

The food here is good, no doubt about that. I know we won't return, though due to the poor condition of the restaurant itself.

My family and I had spent the whole day at the aquarium, and we were EXHAUSTED. We wanted food, and we wanted some place quiet, and with good food. My mother-in-law remembered there was an Italian restaurant somewhere along 17, and we stumbled on Valentino's (even though we later found it out it was NOT the right place).

The food was in a word -- phenomenal. They had just opened for the evening, so the place was empty. George and Angie could have been very lackadaisical, but they treated us like royalty. They joked with us, food was brought out perfectly, and in short, we felt like we'd been coming there for years.

The very next time I go to Myrtle Beach, a long side of any other attractions, I will make it a definite point to go back to Valentino's. They may not have a giant neon sign, they may not have 120 items on a buffet, but they have the kind of service I want when I go out to eat (and a damn fine cannoli too!).

Im from New York. I moved here to MB 2 years ago. Simply put, if you want Italian food that is reminiscent of what you would get from the best Italian restaurants on the earth, yes I'm talking about Brooklyn, this is the place for you. Rosa and her husband treat everyone like family.

It was a very memorable experience for my family. We are still talking about it to this day. George was a wonderful waiter. We were planning a 5 star experience, and this turned out to be barely a 2 star. The food was average. We had traditional spaghetti and chicken parmesean. And the atmosphere was an elderly friendly neighborhood crowd. The decor needs much updating. But the restaurant seemed clean.

The person rating the quality of the food poor...must be from Valentino's competition.or not use to real Italian food ..This place is absolutely the Best!

Food... the sauces are perfect... but if pizza hut is your standard...you might be disappointed.

Service... our waitress...made suggestions that were sincere... and very knowlegeable!

Atmosphere...sorry tourists...This place just wouldn't be for you if you are looking for 20 ft ceilings..decorated with shark jaws!

I had heard wonderful things about the restaurant so was disappointed when my entree tasted like it was pre-cooked and re-heated. The food on the plate was different temperatures! Maybe I should try it again....maybe not.

I adore Valentinos! Rose and her staff do everything to make you feel at home.I had been there several times and was so pleased, I decided to have my wedding dinner there. Every last detail was handled to my specifications and everyone raved about the food, the service, and the atmosphere. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT.

The BEST Italian food anywhere on the strand! We've tried them all, and no one has better or more polite service! Went on Valentines Day and didn't have a reservation, but was seated right away....even had an accordian player to set the mood and was served complimentary strawberries and champagne for dessert!! We love this place and highly recommend it!

We went here in the middle of July and did not have any problem making reservations for a party of 10. The owner, from Sicily, was very polite and helped us with our many accommodations, such as separate bills and seating on a certain side of the restaurant. The meal started with this incredible homemade bread, fresh from the oven. The food was excellent and the portions were more than generous. Everything was very authentic. The service was wonderful. It was a pleasurable experience and we are looking forward to future visits to this great Italian restaurant.
