The spaghetti with meat sauce is amazing. Sooo good. And the rolls with olive oil and garlic, OMG!
Ive been coming to this wonderfully authentic Italian restaurant with such a nice family like atmosphere , for over 10 years .. this place has been a staple for many many years and have very many loyal customers and extremely delicious food... Beautiful ambiance and wonderful service all around the board well done
A local Italian restaurant, we came here the first time after soccer game. The dish is good , we ordered meat lover and Alfredo chicken , both are fresh and good. I line the bread better.
There may be a very good Italian restaurant hidden inside this pizzeria. I got the special cheesesteak, peppers, onions & mushrooms. I liked the flavor of the meat in my cheesesteak, the slice of sausage pizza I ate while waiting for my cheesesteak and the bar with a sign that read '$3 Yuengling drafts.' I'm sorry I got peppers on my cheesesteak. Even at $13.90 the cheesesteak was a touch small. The roll was a mess. The cheesesteak was a miss but I think there may be a very good Italian restaurant hidden inside Cafe Valentina. The Owner's appear to be real Italian's, my cheesesteak meat had great flavor, great sausage on my slice, prices are good, a steady flow of regulars getting 'to go' orders and they have a bar.
Some people should remembering were they order the food from , I read a review here posted by Lisa D .w picture of square stale bread from cafe Valentina , it is a lie , cafe Valentina does not serve bread they serve garlic round knot roll plus wen you order chicken marsala pasta comes on side w your choice marinara or Marsala sauce , I'm an Italian lady 80 Years old I have been a customer of cafe Valentina for a long time I LOVE THEIR FOOD .
