Best last minute thanksgiving dinner plans & dining experience ! Service was outstanding, ambiance was comfortable & quaint. We sat by the fireplace inside. Drinks were really good! Cant say enough good things about thanksgiving dinner. So so good! We didnt want to leave so we hung out in the bar area after we ate & listened to live music for a bit. Its been a while since we had been to Paseo, so it was nice to dine there again!

The food is off the charts! Always something unique and fresh on the menu. But the standard entrees are excellent as well. Everything is homemade - love the focaccia bread! Service is prompt and friendly. Also a great wine selection. Always a great night out at Valenti.
