Reviews for Valentino's Cafe in Lancaster, PA
We always have a good time at Valentino?s! The vibes are friendly and dive-y. There is a lot of outdoor space to sit outside... when the weather is nice and the inside is warm & cozy when you want some shelter from the storm. Food is reliable and decent.Great local spot! Read more
Solid dive bar hole in the wall. Great drinks fair prices no food but solid snacks. Awesome for what it is.
Val Valentino sat behind me in homeroom; she was too pretty to ask out. Anyway, Valentinos Cafe has great food, great prices... and great staff! Hiring Val would give it 6 stars! Read more
Love this bar. Such a great friendly community place. Everyone is so nice
Wanted to try a new Italian place so went here with a friend only to find that despite the fact that they were open, they did... not serve food that day so we ended up going somewhere else. Can't tell you how the food is because we we're unable to try it.They should include the information on their website. There was a food truck outside, but we decided to go somewhere else. Read more
This place has two unique personalities. If you are looking for an old-timey neighborhood bar vibe, this is your place. Once you... get past the fun-drunk locals sitting on the front porch, yucking it up, having a good time, and you figure out which door touse to get in the building, you'll find a big, boisterous party inside. Everybody knows everybody. Lots of laughs. Lots of rudehumor. You better be comfortable with cigarette and cigar smoke. This place reeks of it. Decades of hardcore smoking has soakedinto the building's pores.The establishment is split down the middle so the bar side can still legally allow smoking.Unfortunately this stench wafts over to the restaurant through a big open door. Personality two is the quiet basic mom-and-poprestaurant with a no-nonsense menu and friendly servers. There are just a few tables pushed along the walls hung with old photosand memorabilia. The fare consists of iceberg lettuce salads and LOTS of bread and pasta (the only thing on the menu withoutwheat is a really basic antipasto salad...served with a side of bread). They have weekly specials that the locals seem to enjoy.My grandparents used to haunt this place back in the day. Trust me, it hasn't changed AT ALL. Depending on who you are, that canbe charming or disgusting. Check it out for the experience. Easy in, easy out. Huge parking lot. Good prices. Experienced andfriendly wait staff. Read more
First time coming to Valentino?s and I was blown away at the experience. It?s certainly your friendly neighborhood dive bar, but... with class. Everyone that comes in here is a regular and knows each other. They all jab at each other and it gives off a familyvibe. My wife and I just sat there and listened to the old heads talk smack to each other. The food was also better thanexpected. The chicken parm and garlic bread was quality food. The prices for food and drinks are super reasonable too. When weleft, random people were saying bye like they knew us for years. One of the coolest bar experience I?ve ever had ! Read more
Is this a five star bar? No. Is this a five star restaurant? No. This is a five star review of a place that is loaded with... locals. Loaded with charm and a fun place to hang out. Read more
