[CLOSED] Ristorante Da Valentino (The Grandstand)

The 𝙂𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙞𝙘 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙒𝙝𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙒𝙞𝙣𝙚 (~$35.90) had me soaking the garlic bread in the sharp white wine bisque, and my mom commenting she’d slurp it all up 😛

Patiently waited through the whole Cb to have this, and thankfully the 𝙁𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙪𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝘼𝙡 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙤 (~$32.90) is absolutely worth the wait. 🍝

The crab meat chunks were huge and tender, generously blanketing the sheets of carbs. With a al dente squid ink pasta that held on to the right amount of creamy tomato base, I wish I ordered one for myself instead of sharing 🦑🦑

This is like the MUST HAVE dish on every table!!!!! Bread was also served warm with a side pesto/olive oil dip. Combo was insanely appetising! I'm quite picky about my bread and cheese but these 2 simple dishes were done to perfection.

The first bite really impressed me! The sauce was creamy but not gelat like most cream-based pasta (you can really tell that they used good quality cream and cheese). Lobster was abit small but super juicy and QQ if you know what I mean. LOVED IT

my first bite sent me straight to pasta heaven. if you are a cream based pasta lover, or not!!!, u will definitely love this. i actually prefer aglio olio style pastas because i find cream pastas too heavy after a while but this sauce is magical.. perfect balance of creamy and light but sooo rich in flavour, with a seafood-y fragrance that’s enhanced by the fresh and fleshy lobster meat chunks scattered generously throughout the dish. also can i just mention that this was my first time trying squid ink pasta and boy am i glad it was this plate.

rating: 9.8/10

The Fettuccine al Granchio ($29.90) was delicious. Pasta cooked perfectly al dente tossed with a creamy tomato crab meat sauce. I also like the friendliness of the service staff and the family run vibe of the establishment.
