Fort Lauderdale’s Best Kept Secret

This nondescript Italian restaurant, located in downtown Fort Lauderdale, is one of the best-kept secrets of South Florida locals. We’re letting the cat out of the bag to share some incredible dining opportunities available through the end of September at Valentino Cucina Italiana.

This summer, guests can enjoy a unique Prix-Fixe menu that includes an appetizer, main course, dessert and one glass of house wine for $50 per person. This deal is available from Tuesday through Thursday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

For those craving carbs, try the Pasta Hour menu featuring a pasta dish and glass of house wine for $25 per person. Guests can choose from the Tagliatelle with Bolognese sauce, tomato and parmesan, the Agnolotti Carbonara with pancetta, farm egg and black pepper, or the Trofie with scallop, rock shrimp and sepia ragu. This deal is also available Tuesday through Thursday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
