Restaurant Reviews: Valentino's of Kutztown, Pennsylvania

Although driving through any given college town is likely to yield a plethora of restaurants, it takes only a second glance to realize that most of those restaurants are either based around pizza or Chinese food. Sure, there may be the occasional interesting dining area, but most restaurants in college towns seem to make cheap, fast food their primary goal. However, this does not always have to be the case, and one perfect example of this exception can be found in Kutztown, PA, at Valentino's Restaurant.

Located just down Main Street and going towards Trexlertown, as soon as one sees Valentino's, it is apparent that it is not the typical college student eatery. A beautifully landscaped front, picturesque sculptures, and an elegant building help to make sure that one knows they are about to dine in a place where the atmosphere is as valued as the food. In fact, during the summer months tables are even set outside at times so that diners can enjoy the pleasant atmosphere and the simple joy that comes with eating a good meal outside.

The inside of Valentino's is just as nice as the outside. A simple, but nicely decorated atmosphere, along with spacious and comfortable tables help to make one feel at ease and relaxed while they are eating. Believe it or not, simple interior design goes a long way when it comes to the overall appeal of a restaurant, and Valentino's is no exception to that rule. As soon as one sits down, you can expect to be waited on by a pleasant and knowledgeable server. It seems that no matter what time one chooses to attend Valentino's, the staff is always friendly and the everyone there seems to be in a great mood; just one more thing that helps to make the dining experience such an overall great time.

Of course, one of the most important factors when eating out is the food, and Valentino's manages to deliver in this area as well. No matter what one may be in the mood for, classic Italian dishes are served right alongside of modern favorites. Whether one is in the mood for pasta or a variety of meat or fish dishes, it is possible to find almost anything Italian on the menu. It is possible to taste the high quality of the food and time spent preparing each meal in each forkful of food. The chicken marsala is especially recommended, as are any of the pasta dishes. Of course, the food at Valentino's does not come necessarily cheap. However, for the quality and the decent sized portions, the extra money should not be a factor.

There are many places that one can choose to eat at in Kutztown, PA, however, for those who want something special and something which goes far beyond the ordinary dining of a college town, Valentino's is by far the best choice. Combining great food with an incredible atmosphere, friendly staff, and reasonable prices, Valentino's may be the single nicest restaurant to be found in the Kutztown area.
