This 32-year-old flagship continues to maintain its position as Wine Spectator magazine’s top wine cellar, with a selection of 140,000 bottles including unique gems such as an 1893 Château Lafite-Rothschild. Executive Chef Angelo Auriana seeks out the finest and freshest ingredients, whether it is cheese from Puglia or white truffles from Piedmont. The décor is both stylish and intimate. Once guests pass the ivied entrance and enter the secret garden they find a gleaming patio that is romantic for two, private for four, and comfortable for a group of 10. At Valentino, the mostly gourmand and deal-closer crowd is able to indulge on the grandest treasures in the culinary world, including the San Daniele Prosciutto dish with Tirolese speck and melon pearls, and the Colorado lamb chop with Gorgonzola and port wine reduction. Valentino brings the spirit of Italian dining to Los Angeles and the chic Santa Monica space continues to be admired by Italian food enthusiasts nationwide.
