Undercooked pasta and very little crab meat made for a disappointing meal.

We were lucky to get a last minute reservation. Valentina's did not disappoint. The food and cocktails were excellent, and the service was just what you would expect from a top class restaurant. Definitely recommend.

Although the selection wasn’t so much, each was done beautifully. We had 4 kids, they were very accommodating. Kids loved the Respberry drink, the vegetarian pasta, the potato and the cod mousse. Definitely will come again next we come to Merimbula.
