This is another one of my default Titusville restaurants. Pizza is the best value item. The location has convenient access outside and inside the mall. It's definitely a good place to go to before/after a movie. The service is always good here and the ambiance is always cozy. I feel a greater sense of privacy seated here as opposed to other places. I have never once had a bad experience eating at the Searstown location. Valentino's is a town staple.

Disappointed on many levels and pleased by a couple. Service was wonderful. My server, Gina, did her best to accommodate, inform, present, and care to my party of 7. Calamari were over fried and salty. The pasta sauce on the spaghetti is in need of a redesign. Thin and weak, almost as bad a pouring it from a jar. The overall decor of the place is a dismal and in sad disrepair. The recipe for the pizzas its slightly better than good. Nothing out of this world however. The sauce and cheese toppings were tasty, but I would refrain from any other add-ons...seems to only add pools of oil on top and little else. I plan to return, if only for the pizza, but the future of this joint seems pretty bleak.

Great when they don't burn your pie. 50/50 chance... Used to be much better ... A bit chewy these days

I can only give Valentino's 3 stars because after going to this establishment for the 2nd time, I am still not impressed with the food. I will do this review based on my most recent experience which is only fair. Hubby and I really felt like cooking so we decided to order Philly steaks. I called our go to establishment forgetting it was Wednesday and they were closed. So we decided to try Valentino's. I give them a call, place the order, the guy on the line says 15 minutes. Botta bing. Botta boom. Didn't ask my name or anything. Ok. I go to pick them up (right at 5 PM) the place is practically empty, it's dark in there and as I am walking to the pick up counter I pass 2 tables been used by the wait staff to roll silverware! I realize this has to be done, but in the main aisle that customers are walking by to get to the salad bar? Really? During service hours? I get to the pick up counter and there was a very nice lady that greeted me, ask me if I would like to see a take-out menu or how could she help me? I told her I had already called in an order and she let the guys behind the counter know. I paid for my food and came home. Oh to my disappointment when I took the first bite... This sand which was supposed to have green pepper, onion, and mushrooms. All I could taste was meat. Not steak. Maybe steak-ums, but not real steak and some kind of strange roll. Idk what it was. I was very disappointed and so was my hubby. I don't think there will be a third time at Valentino's for us.

We have always ordered the pizza here and its always been great... Tonight we went in for dinner and it was delicious... I had the shrimp and scallops with spaghetti and she had the veal parmigiana with ziti.. both dishes had plenty of food and the prices were right on the mark.. I would recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family.. Atmosphere was great and so was the service....

Giving it another chance after underwhelming slices and low quality toppings in the past. This time the Calzone. The only plus was the generous amount of filling, and a lower salt level than most NY pizza, and I like salt. But again, can tell using bargain toppings and lower cost, tasteless mozz. I opened my calzone and used 3 napkins to soak up the water. The top crust didn't harden per it steamed, and the bottom was so hard, I hab to it flip it over to cut thru it with a steak knife. It's worth going a couple miles up the road to Mama Rosas for the best pie in town, even if I was already in the mall. Service was 3.5 stars.

I've been here twice since I moved to Titusville. The first time we only ordered a pizza for carry out and we were very impressed! I am Italian so when it comes to pizza especially it is always very satisfying and stands out when we truly enjoy a slice of pizza. My very Italian uncle came to town to visit and I immediately brought him here because I knew he would be impressed as well. This time we went in to eat and had a very pleasant experience with the staff as well as the food. We were addressed immediately, and also mentioned we were kind of in a rush and she certainly accommodated us with that. Our waitress was kind, timely and attentive, and the other staff we encountered were very friendly too. From what I gathered it seems to be family operated and the entire staff seems to have Italian in them as well. When I saw the staff, and then the cook It was clear why the food was so impressive! So we took a minute before we left to compliment the pizza and that we will definitely be returning costumers. In fact today my husband and I are celebrating our wedding anniversary and this restaurant is definitely where we plan to have our dinner at tonight! I haven't had any food other then the pizza but this certainly isn't close to comparable to your big chain pizza delivery places. If you are a lover of *REAL* fresh handmade pizza, this is the place for you.

The calzone's are spot on AMAZING they are so big and delicious . My coworker and I ordered 1 each with the same fixings inside it and we still can't believe we polished them both off .

Want great Italian food at reasonable prices? This is the place to go. They've been a fixture in Titusville for many years and the reason is great food, plain and simple. The calzones are huge, stuffed full, and delicious, especially when covered with garlic butter. The pizza is wonderful - real NY style pizza with killer crust and some of the best sausage I've ever had. Great service too - very attentive and friendly. For an appetizer, try the fried pickles with a spicy dipping sauce. We go at least once per month - it's one of these comfy places where you can just go, relax, and enjoy great food.

The food is good, especially the pizza. I liked the food enough to keep coming back despite the service. The service has reached a point where I don't even call for pickup anymore. The servers are rude and completely unhelpful. This is based on dining in multiple times with multiple servers. Refills? If you ask enough times. Food delivery? Eventually you get the food that has been sitting in the window 10+ minutes while your serving is chatting or playing on her phone. If you are really lucky, the whole table gets their food. On the last visit our food sat in the window for 10 minutes, thats after waiting 45 for our pizza,wings and a stromboli. However she forgot the food of one member of our party of 3. Dropped the food on the table, walked away. Spent another 15 minutes chatting at one of the 3 other table in the restaurant. At that point she came back and we informed her we were missing food. She then went into the kitchen, grabbed it and dropped it onto the table and walked away. No apology, no refills, no "how is everything tasting". Didn't see her back at the table until she dropped the check, again not one drink refill or inquiry about food quality. FYI management/owner (?) wasn't the least interested in our complaint, instead blaming us on not tracking someone else down for refills, food inquiry etc. Never had worse service in my life.

This is a very reasonably priced, high-quality place for pizza, subs, wings, and salads. The only dinner I have tried is spaghetti and meat sauce and it was great - so much meat, it almost overwhelmed the tomato sauce. Veggie pizza the best I have ever had -absolutely loaded and all fresh - mushrooms, olives, onions, and I get mine with extra cheese broiled on top. The salad bar is rather expensive, as they don't give a discount when ordered as a side with something else, but that is the only complaint on price I can think of. I've never had a bad experience here, but as others have mentioned, it is getting a bit rundown. I don't find that a big detraction myself.

We have *attempted* to eat at this Valentinos several times over the past two years, whenever we visited my parents in Titusville. We continue to go back because I believe in supporting local business and I remember having good food here as a child. So we've given them several chances in hopes that we just visited on a "bad night" or whatever. Unfortunately, consistency seems to be the only thing they are good at. The service and atmosphere are consistently going downhill. The cramped, filthy, run down dining room cannot accommodate more than one party of six at a time because the servers (no hostess to speak of) won't plan for tables next to each other or push tables together, so if you have more than four people on a busy night you will wait for hours while one after another smaller party will arrive, get seated and eat while you wait or, as we have had to do more than once, give up and leave. And if you say anything, they treat you like you are crazy for wanting your party to sit together or else just ignore you completely. Recently, we visited on a slower day and were able to get seated. The waitress was so snippy and inattentive. Even with a mostly empty restaurant we waited 45 minutes for our food. When it came, the pizza crust was toughened flavorless and the salad was puny and wilted. We will not be going back. Since then we have been visiting the Valentinos on Garden Street. It's like night and day. The two locations are not affiliated and its easy to see why. My recommendation: Drive the extra 3 miles to eat in a clean restaurant with polite servers and good food.

My friends and I couldn't decide which pizza place to order from, so we decided to do a little experiment. We ordered a small sausage and tomato pizza from 3 different places and compared them. We compared toppings, sauce and crust. THIS Valentino's came up the unanimous winner. The sausage was more flavorful/fresher and you could really taste the fresh herbs in the sauce. The crust was thinner but still chewy. Overall, it had the best flavors and textures, it was also the least expensive of the 3. From now on, we will be ordering our pizza from here.

I took my 88 year old father out specifically to enjoy the tableside magic show. Despite being there during the magic show hours AND waiting over an hour the magician NEVER came to our table (this is a VERY small place). I asked the waitress to ask the magician to come over to our table. She said she would, but I watched her and she never spoke to him. What was to be a nice night out for my elderly father was a complete disappointment.

Great pizza! This is the standard we compare all other local Pizza places in Florida to. It's the closest we've had since being up north. The Valentino Special is my favorite. It gets busy on Friday nights so go early and be hungry! :-)

To be truthful, when I was first seated with menu I was hesitant to even stay, let alone order. The place is less than clean, the salad bar a joke, the prices of their entrees/dinners ridiculous...HOWEVER....I decided to order (at least) a slice of pizza and a 1/2 pitcher of beer....SO GLAD I DID. Pizza was excellent, and the beer was cheap. This is the ULTIMATE PLACE IN TITUSVILLE TO GRAB A SLICE OF PIE AND THROW BACK A FEW BEERS AT AN UNBELIEVABLY PRICE (pizza under $2.00 for a major slice of mucho delicious New York style pizza).....Happy I gave this place a try. Oh and the service, very nice, very polite. Recommend absolutely (the pizza and beer).

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.
