VALENTINA'S ITALIAN BISTRO – Italian
A College Drive bistro where the owner still works the dining room, stopping at tables between courses. The kitchen turns out house-made pasta under chicken parmesan, lasagna, spaghetti Bolognese, chicken marsala and piccata, linguine with clam sauce, and a fettuccine Alfredo people order with fried chicken on top; start with bruschetta and garlic knots. Dessert is his own work, cannoli and Italian cookies made in house. Portions are large, the red sauce tastes like a family recipe, and Clay County diners treat this as their default Italian. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
