Bar Valentina

“Came here for drinks before our dinner reservation and it ended up being such a fun spot. I’m not usually a martini person, but this place has my favorite martini ever, the Teeny Tiny Extra Dirty Martini. The briny flavor was perfect and the smaller size kept the drink ice cold the whole time, which honestly made it even better. The olive and pearl onion garnish was also a great touch. I ordered the happy hour special with the Teeny Tiny Martini and fries since I wanted something light to snack on, and it really hit the spot. Besides the Extra Dirty Martini, we also tried the Pepperoncini Martini, which was my second favorite. We decided to be adventurous and ordered the Pizza Martini too, but that one was a miss for me because it tasted a little too bitter. I ended up getting a second Extra Dirty Martini though, so that says everything. We also tried the zucchini chips, which made for a really refreshing bar snack. Service was great throughout the night. Everyone was attentive and friendly. We sat outside and the seating is literally right on the street. The streets are closed until 10 PM so they’re able to have outdoor seating, and with the surrounding buildings it honestly felt like one of the closest things to European cafe vibes in the city.”

“Love this place for dinner and drinks! Your typical East Village intimate dinner spot. Definitely recommend this for a party of 2 and no more. Maybe 3. The tables are small here and it’s meant to be a cozier place. Drinks were strong and food was great! My personal favorite was definitely the steak frites”

“Loved this sexy little bar. The Cocktails are amazing. The decor is modern yet inviting. It's a little pricey but worth it. The Zucchini Chips with a side of Marinara are delicious. The service is good. I would definitely come back.”

“Freezer martinis galore!! The vibes here were fun, and the space is quite big. There’s an outside space, front space with bar seating and tables, and also a back room space to reserve for larger parties! Valentina has a buzzing young energy with a lot of strong and delicious drinks to choose from on the menu. I definitely recommend this as a late night pre-game spot before hitting the clubs.”

“We ordered 4 things. Salad we really wanted was unavailable. Corn ribs, cesar, steak frites, diet coke. Easily could have been coursed. Thats what we were expecting. But instead we waited 25 minutes for any food to hit the table. It hit all at once on our small outdoor table. Med rare steak was completely raw. Diet coke was flat and sour. No one ever checked on us. During the meal the manager instructed the staff to move our patio table after we left so its not in front of the neighboring business. The team member promptly came over to our table (with food on it) saying he had to move us over immediately. If you are actually hungry, this place is a waste of time and money.”
