Actually, Valentino's was a fantastic experience for our party of 4. 2 of us ordered the on special halibut, 1 gnocchi and 1 lasagne. All 3 entrees - superb. The impeccable details of the perfectly blended Cesar salad including the cold lettuce (thank you) is an excellent reminder of how to present the perfect Cesar. Ambience is par excellence. The several small dining rooms and absolutely charming bar were perhaps how I imagine the generations ago great Italian Restaurants presented themselves. The menu Chianti by the glass; outstanding. As an out of towner from a great restaurant town -Chicago - I have family in Nashville, so, I will be back - hopefully often. This restaurant is great for special family occasions. Top to bottom; superb.
