   We went to Valentina's before Christmas with my partner, his Dad & Grandma for lunch. We had a really lovely time & enjoyed our afternoon together supporting a new local business! As locals, we came across the 50% off food in February deal & wanted to come to Valentina's again. We were excited to come back to Valentina's, especially after having such an enjoyable first experience. However, there was a little mix up with our food ticket not being sent to the kitchen. We realised this after my partner went & spoke to one of the staff (after we had been waiting for 30 minutes) - we'd been chit chatting away! The wait staff very kindly & quickly rectified the issue & our starter arrived very shortly after. However, the food felt as though it had been rushed & was slightly undercooked. Nonetheless, was still enjoyable. The main courses were much better & the desserts were delicious. Even though we had the situation with the ticket & delay, we still thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Valentina's in East Sheen & will most likely be back to continue supporting a local business.

   Valentina has a great selection of meals - meant options to choose from. My son ordered the classic burger with fries and he was very happy with it. My aunt ordered a delicious spaghetti bolognese and I had the bruschetta and rocket salad - all of us came away satiated and happy.

   Very poor. I booked a table and found the restaurant closed when we arrived there. Not good.

   Food and service were fab, despite the burning coming from the kitchen. The restaurant was very cold.

   We had a family lunch on a Saturday. There was no problem getting a table for five. We all enjoyed our food very much including our fussy grandson. There was a bit of a hitch with the service on this occasion as the waiter only ordered three of the adult main courses and one of us had to wait quite a long time. On other occasions service has been fine so I think this was possibly due to an inexperienced waiter. It didn’t spoil the occasion and we would happily go again as the food is good.

   I was a bit disappointed in my first visit to Valentina East Sheen. The portion of my carbonara was a little less generous than it could have been. The lighting is very bright - it’s not a cosy restaurant and it would be easy to improve that. It wasn’t bad, but I would probably try somewhere else.

    Tables were virtually on top of one-another making conversation impossible. The Muzak was too loud. When I asked for the volume to be turned down, I was told the people at the other end of the restaurant wouldn’t be able to hear it. As they were already shouting to make themselves heard, this was absurd. The staff were unconcerned, unsympathetic and defensive. I’m sure the food would have been fine but we left. There are alternatives in SW14 now
