Valentino

A haven for Bristol’s aficionados of Italian cuisine, Valentino serves up bellisimo Italian cuisine in a stylish yet homely setting down Stoke Lane in Westbury on Trym. From authentic Italian pizza to hearty pasta dishes and an array of meat and seafood mains, Valentino’s menu has something to suit all occasions, whether it's a casual lunch, an elegant evening meal or a group function. Begin with some baked camembert served with a rocket and apple salad or some arancini (deep-fried rice balls stuffed with mozzarella in a ragu sauce) before tucking into the calzone pugalise stuffed with tomato, mozzarella, ham, mushrooms and chorizo, the pennette zingara (penne with chicken, mushrooms and walnuts in a creamy cheese sauce) or the duck piccante (duck breast served with peppercorns, caramelized ginger and a brandy and demi glace sauce).
