    I was hungry forgot to take picture when the waitress served it lol
    Rainier V.

    For a quick Italian food, specializing in Pizza. This is the place. Good food and I love their personal pie portion, can actually served 2 if you order salads.... Saw on other table the customers that ordered pastas, the portion was very generous and seems like people were enjoying it. It has a country ambiance which was very interesting. Surely will come back to this place

    Bread knots...fire

    We were promptly seated and greeted by a most friendly and welcoming waitress. Drink order in and their hot garlic bread knots come to the table. I could eat a dozen of them but chose to restrain from a second order. I usually get some type of pasta here (always delicious), but tonight I was in one of my rare pizza vibes. The white garlic chicken pizza did not disappoint. It was delicious, with a perfect melding of cheeses on a perfect crust. Next trip means a tougher order decision, but challenge accepted!

    My rating is for the food..it was very good! A group of 6 of us came here for lunch after a funeral and were in the mood for comfort food. It is a small, not that impressive, little restaurant in a strip mall on Blanding Blvd. in Middleburg. When we entered we weren't exactly greeted but kind of growled at...."how many" then some frowning where we could sit! Once seated the servers seemed to be feeling better and she was attentive (owners daughter). The person who recommended the place kept saying everything was "home made" there. I ordered a small white pizza with garlic snd chicken..very good; even had fresh ricotta on it! It was 6 smallest slice (10"?) for $13. Others ordered manicotti and calzone and they looked good too with garlic knot I heard to die for!

We were visiting my brother from out of state and this was a must in his eyes and it didn't disappoint. I was told their scampi sauce was an absolute must taste too and it was amazing. The fresh garlic bread tasted like something out of my grandmas home recipe book. I ordered the traditional meat sauce and angel hair pasta. Surely if it was amazing I'd stamp my approval all over this place because it should hold up to my scrutiny and OMG wow!! Definitely as authentic as it gets. The rest of my family picked different meals and the nom nom nom's didn't stop nor did the wow's. The service was impeccable from the hostess, waitress and the live piano player. Very warming environment with a taste of actual traditional recipes. You won't be disappointed.

    This restaurant is a hidden gem for comfort Italian food. Openly, I was a bit skeptical due to the…read morelocation, but I am glad that I tried this place, I will definitely be back. I visited on Friday 9/25 and the restaurant was packed which is a good sign. Luckily I had a reservation. I do recommend a reservation if you visit on a weekend, as this place seems to get busy. For drink I had the Capo Zafferano (cabernet), the wines are affordable here which I believe is a must for any Italian restaurant. For starters we ordered the calamari and the arancini. The calamari was crispy, and I enjoyed that mainly because some restaurants serve it soggy. It being crispy showed me that it's cooked to order. Additionally the arancini was unique for me. I never seen one with beef and risotto inside of it. It was a moist beef and was all around flavorful. I would absolutely order both of those appetizers again. The entrée I tried was a classic chicken parmesan. A lot can go wrong with a chicken parmesan, but this place had a nice hearty portion served with rigatoni. You can swap for a different pasta if you like. The red sauce was flavorful and comforting, and the chicken was a big 7 oz portion. It was the perfect entrée after experiencing a long day at work. For dessert our table ordered a cannoli and a tiramisu. The cannoli was most special to me because it had a cinnamon flavored filling, not too strong, but yet present. I am a fan of cinnamon so I may be biased here. I typically do not like cannolis, but I enjoyed this one thoroughly. The tiramisu was also satisfying. Both desserts were not overly sweet, which I appreciated. My opinion on this place is all around positive, I enjoyed the meal, and the service. It's a great spot for fulfilling a comfort Italian food craving. Nothing makes me happier than a hearty portion of chicken parmesan and some wine. It's hard to critique anything here, but if you forced me to critique one thing it would be that bread service was not free. However, in my opinion the dishes are reasonably priced, so I can live with going without bread, especially when the appetizers themselves were so good. In its class I rate Valentina's a 10/10. I was completely satisfied eating here, and these days I feel some restaurants try too hard, and fail to deliver. For me Valentina's delivered. I typically include pictures of my meals, but this one was so good that I had no time to take any! Again, 10/10.

The…read morelasagna there had this light, fresh quality that I'd never been able to find anywhere else in America...until now. This one had that same light, refreshing feel but with even more flavor. It was hard to explain what I meant to my husband until he tried it and he ended up liking my lasagna more than the calzone he ordered! You can tell they make everything from scratch. We also got spaghetti and meatballs to go, and the sauce tasted so fresh. The cannoli was incredible. I used to make cannoli at a bakery years ago, and theirs had the smoothest, creamiest filling I've ever had. The staff was wonderful, and the owner treated us like an old friend. It's a modest size restaurant with good seating but limited parking,and it's always busy for a good reason. We'll definitely be back!

We decided on Aspendos and, wow, were we glad we did! Every dish was delicious. As a result, while spending the Christmas holidays with my daughter, I made sure we went to Aspendos and again on my third visit a few weeks ago. While I have fallen in love with their Penne alla Vodka, I have sampled other dishes and found them to be very good, as well (my daughter's go-to is their pesto pasta dish). This is a small operation, run by three members of the same family. If you have a large group you will need to wait awhile for your food, but it's worth the wait.

Business: yes Me: can I have a 16 inch Hawaiian pizza ads Banana peppers Business: yes Me: can you tell me when to pick it up? Business: 35 minutes Me: how much will I owe? Business: $34 I sent my 17 year old son to pick up the food and he called me upon arrival stating that they did not have my pizza. I then had to call the business again to find my pizza which they had but could not find bc they did not associate it with me or my phone number. My son brought the pizza home and it was good but not $34 good. The pizza tasted smoky from the bacon and ham. The sauce was light and tomatoey but the crust could not hold under the weight of the toppings. My son also advised that his experience with the staff at the restaurant was similar to mine on the phone. Love to support local businesses but I don't think we will be back.

We started with the St. Louis Ravioli, which was great. Don't be intimidated by the size on the photo, they just puff up a LOT. Many people have raved about the steak at Picasso's so I finally ordered it last night. Their special was Prime New York Strip and holy cow, it was a big steak! I ordered it medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. Every single one of you who were raving about the steak were not lying. It was seasoned well, juicy & tender...just excellent. My wife tried their Meatball Madness pizza, which she ordered St. Louis Style. She'd never tried that style of pizza before and she really liked it. It's a very thin crust pizza, cut into squares. She REALLY liked the meatballs to the point where she kept saying that the next time we come back, she wants to try their spaghetti & meatballs. We got there right at 4:30 when they open for dinner and they were packed almost instantly. It's worth noting that our server Kelsie was fantastic through the whole meal. One nice touch was that she took our leftovers, boxed them up and brought them back to us. That may not seem like a huge thing but it's a little touch we always like.
