My Mom and I visited for dinner and shared an appetizer, salad and meal-- it was plenty! Probably even too much. We had the veggies as our side and added a side of pasta.

We had many fine dining experiences during our NE visit, and choosing Cafe Valenciano for our last…read moreNE dinner was perfecto. My local friends suggested we dine here as our first choice was closed on Sundays. I did previously dine here when it was Cafe Rosetti's, and was told that it's the same chefs and a similar menu. This is a local joint that is located right on Winthrop Beach. Parking is a challenge, and this is a cozy restaurant, so reservations are best. The food is fabulous, portions are large, and you will most likely be taking leftovers home. They are also BYOB, and they will keep your cocktails chilled and uncork your wine for you. I could have ordered many of their apps, but we decided on the eggplant rolletinni and eggplant topped with ricotta and mozzarella. Oh my, both were cooked perfectly tender and topped with their delicious sauce. I opted for the homemade fusilli pasta option with my veal entree. The pasta was cooked al dente, perfect. I could go into much more detail regarding how tender my veal was or how Plus 1's bolognese was one of the best I ever experienced, but to summarize everything on the menu is 5-star old-school Italian.

We drove quite a way to try out Cafe Valenciano in Winthrop…read more First of all its not easy to get to Winthrop no matter where you come from unless you live there. The parking is extremely hard as they do not have a parking lot and there is only parking on one side of the street. There are not many businesses near them so I would guess the residents are taking up most of the parking....Finally found a space after driving back and forth several times, and took the short walk to the restaurant. This is a very small place. We walked in and there were many seats open but a lot of them on top of other patrons. It was about 8:45 pm and the restaurant closes at 9:00 pm. A lady who appeared to hate her job comes up to us with no smile, no welcome...just said "reservations?" I kind of chuckled because you might think we were in some high-end fancy restaurant. There were many empty seats and interior was low budget. She promptly told us to sit "there" and pointed her finger to a 2 seat table that was literally on top of the door. Anyone entering would be brushing up against the table. We said no, that we did not want to site there. There was a table in front of the windows, so we asked if we could be seated there. She said no, people are coming in for that table. So, we said OK, and proceeded to leave. As we were leaving, she muttered "Ok you can sit there". Unfortunately, we were totally turned off from the experience so far and left. The space in the restaurant is a shoe box. There were a few people in there but certainly nothing that warrants a "reservation". The hostess (and I use that word loosely), was the most unfriendly, unaccommodating, miserable person I have encountered in a long while. If you hate your job, GO DO SOMETHING ELSE! This entire time, the two owners were standing there watching potential customers walk out the door. And a point worth mentioning. In a restaurant so small, you should be smelling the aromas of the food cooking. I smelled nothing.

La comida…read morenunca cambia y es excelente pero el servicio y eso que si se puede llamar servicio fue pésimo, al Principio nos atendió un hombre aparentemente amable de unos 24 años aproximándamente, nos tomó la orden de la comida y la bebida y fue solo hasta el momento en el que llegaron las entradas que tuvimos servicio, en ningún momento ni hubo de los meseros que habían en el lugar o mujer o el hombre se acercaron a verificar cómo estábamos de comida o si queríamos agregar algo más, cuando en un momento la mesera Valentina ( se que se llama así por el cheque) se acercó de una forma grosera y nos dice "ustedes no van a a ordenar plato fuerte, les voy a retirar las cartas" en ningún momento nos preguntó si queríamos ordenar algo más una bebida extra o algo tan simple como si queríamos ordenar postre o hasta hacernos el refill de agua... ella se llevó las cartas y fue como si se olvidaran de nosotros siento nosotros la única mesa que tenían en el restaurante, cuando pasaron unos 30 minutos después de ella retirar las cartas y ver que nadie fue a seguirnos atendiendo (aún sin menús! ) me paré a la caja y Valentina se estaba despidiendo de su compañero mesero pues ya había sido su hora de salida me acerqué y pregunté por la cuenta y le conté al mesero la situación de que literalmente se habían olvidado de nosotros y que ella nos había quitado las cartas cuando nosotros íbamos en plan de almorzar y tardear, que es como siempre lo hacemos, el dijo que lo sentía pero no dio ni fuma explicación cuando estaba solo pegado del celular en la estación de café todo el tiempo y sin ninguna atención de atendernos, esta conversación la tuvimos creo que era delante del chef o del sub chef que llegó a esa misma hora y el estaba tan entretenido en su celular que cuando me acerqué a pedir la cuenta no se había dado cuenta que yo estaba detrás de él y el chef tuvo que decirle que estaba detrás, este chico me ofrece un supuesto descuento que adjuntaré en las fotos de 25 % en cada plato o bebida que pudimos ordenar antes de quedarnos literalmente sin servio porque ellos al parecer no tenían ganas de trabajar y ella tenía al parecer prisa para irse para su casa a las 3pm, el descuento no me lo dio en las bebidas, no había ninguna encargado o supervisor con quien pudiera hablar solo estaba aquel mesero y la mesera Valentina que justo había acabado de salir por eso nos retiró las cartas, es muy triste como un buen Resturnate de tantos años fracase por mal servicio como este, cuando una cuenta pudo ser de $400 dólares solo Fue de $55 solo porque ellos no quisieron trabajar más, siempre recomendé Pomona para toda ocasión, iba a celebrar mi matrimonio con ellos pero ya decidí no hacerlo no quiero pagar por un mal servicio en el mejor día de mi vida, de Pomona solo rescato la comida, hoy fue el peor servicio que he recibido en mi vida es más no es ni un servicio porque simplemente no fuimos atendidos

Omg! If you want fabulous home cooking in ginormous portions, this is where you gotta be!…read more This is a small, neighborhood restaurant (I counted 34 of us seated inside) with additional seating on the sidewalk. Debbie, our server, was exceptional in every way. This is CASH ONLY (ATM inside) and there's one unisex restroom located inside the kitchen (I had to slink past the dishwasher), but so homey and quirky, I loved it! The fritto misto was amazeballs--calamari, shrimp AND scallops with lemon aioli. Chef's kiss. And the half order was huge. My Matriciana pasta (homemade rigatoni, carmelized onions, pancetta) was enormous and I got 2 leftover meals out of if. (Forgot to photograph). The veal Milanese was chop style and worthy of Fred Flintstone. Covered in a deliciously dressed arugula. Dessert? They had me at spumoni. So many locals come here and it's easy see why. Just fantastic! It's loud, but if you're Italian, you get it. #iykyk

The peppers weren't spicy but added perfect acid to the whole pizza.

The wife had the Gnochetti which had the important trick of knowing to mix the gnocchi and the short rib into one amazing concoction. Trust me on this one.
