French chef Patrick Landelle could get a job in the best restaurant in the country without being even slightly out of place, but he chooses to grace Pomona with his presence. He is brilliant! The food is always top notch, the service impeccable, and the prices very reasonable. Even the fussiest connoisseur will be satisfied with what Valentino's has to offer. A word to the wise - if you have a hankering for creme brulee, order it at the same time as ordering your entree and main meal, as they invariably sell out and they are truly to die for! This is a tiny restaurant and is always full, so booking ahead is a must.

Approximate cost: $25
