Hubby and I were in town for a concert at Mohegan Sun and needed a good, non-extortionate place for dinner. Valentino's, you can do better than this! More The lack of the capers changes the flavor of the dish. Would you send a meal out of the kitchen with a major component of the dish missing?Īnd when I pointed out their error they didn't offer to cook something else or reduce our bill. Who knows what other menu items have capers. Now let's look at this it is about 4:00 on a Sunday afternoon, at the beginning of dinner service and you are running an Italian restaurant with Veal, Chicken and Fish Piccata on the menu.

She returned saying the kitchen was out of capers! When I told her that we didn't have any, she looked confused and said she would check with the kitchen. I asked our server if I was correct that Piccata meant Lemon and Caper and she agreed that it did. The problem with theses Piccata dishes was that neither my wife or I could find a caper! Zero, Zilch, Nada! The special deliciousness of this dish again, was the Pimento! Nice touch. It was nicely done with a reasonable portion rather than the 'Pound of pasta on every plate' you see at some places. The flounder Piccata was served on nicely cooked Penne, for my wife and Angle Hair pasta for me. My wife opted for a small Cesar salad but said the dressing was not as good as Family Pizza's, in Colchester, our normal Sunday destination. My dressing was Basalmic Vinegarette which was tasty. It had crisp moist greens and plenty of cherry tomatoes, one black and one green olive, cucumber, red onion and PIMENTO! A very nice touch. I had the house salad which was very nice. We said it would but, in the end they DID have flounder. they had any flounder and asked if cod would be ok. I am found of Veal Piccata and Chicken Piccata but, had never had it with fish. My wife and I both chose the Flounder Piccata! One of our party had two slices of pizza and was very happy. Restaurants near Valentino's Restaurant.Hotels near (PVD) Theodore Francis Airport.
