Now if you're from (or familiar with) South Jersey, you know we pluck delicious clams from our sandy shores year round. So many restaurants in the area serve them every which way, but my wife and I really enjoy clams with noodles. Valentina's serves a...beautiful dish of al dente linguine with sauteed clams in a beautiful garlic and wine broth that it one of their best offerings. The portion is small (average for the rest of the world), so it serves one better than two. We tried a few other things, and overall the food was quite lovely. Their brick oven margarita pizza (they offer two kinds) was also delicious. I wouldn't need their meatballs again (but they were still good), and I feel like the eggplant parm appetizer is a little hit-or-miss. The first time I had it, it was spot on (salted perfectly with sweet, red sauce); this time was certainly good, but it loses some of the crunchy consistency if it sits too long, and I felt it to be a little mushier than last time.
For those dining in the winter, there is a room with a fireplace (but it's not always open unless they are really busy). Otherwise they will seat you in the small front room. It's also BYOB so don't forget your red at home. If you do there is a liquor store adjacent to the restaurant.More
