Valentino

To really flex your Italian muscle a little a la Goodfellas or The Godfather without booking a trip to the old country, head into Santa Monica for Valentino. An LA-icon, Valentino is the kind of place that can impress even the most cynical of diners. The décor is like that of your Italian villa and the chef is a stellar example of what Italian cuisine should be. With five different options for private dining, it doesn’t matter if you’re trying to impress a large or small group – they can all be accommodated. The Gold Room (we thought you’d like that) seats up to 50 of your closest friends or the enclosed Patio can be booked for up to 30 of the really special ones. Lucky them.
