Cafe Valentino

I recently came here and although the food was quite good, the service was horrible. So initially there was a long piece of hair found in my partner's drink and we called the waiter and told him about it, however he didn't even acknowledge, apologize or say that he would bring in a new one straight away. He just stood there and said nothing until we actually asked for a new one. He took it like we were ordering, there was no sign of being sorry from him. And lastly, the lady who was at the counter to pay, she didn't even acknowledge us and literally just put the receipt in front of us and said literally nothing at all. I'd expect a fine restaurant like this to at least ask how everything was, and maybe just saying how much it comes to when we are paying? Didn't even say goodbye to us even when we said it to her as we finished the payment. She looked as if she just didn't want to be there. Myself being in a customer service job, I found it very disappointing coming here. And although the food was quite good, would not want to come knowing the service is this bad. I hope you train your staff well enough and know what service they are providing.

I have been here on a number of occasions and have been really impressed with the food every time. The service can sometimes be a bit slow but when you see how busy the restaurant gets its understandable why! The salmon pasta is up there as a favourite and a great selection of beers to go down with it

We had very good pizzas, salads and puds. Friendly helpful staff. Would definitely eat there again when in Christchurch. Superb tiramisu.

Have been here multiple times and will continue to return! Great food and great service :)

Awesome food and there are tons of option to choose from! Desserts are always amazing! Every now and then the restaurant does $12 plates of pasta on a Tuesday night which is ideal! Decent sized portions too. I always love dining here.
