First, it is important to note that there were two Valentino’s locations with different owners, one on Lowell Road and the other a market under the same name in Nashua on Dunstable Road. This was indicated as a reason given for changing the name to avoid confusion between the two.
Valentino’s (Hudson) was a mixed bag of experiences for their customers with many who loved the charm especially after they first opened, under the original owners, NH Reviews among them. More recently, however, they seemed to have lost their way. Finding one meatball in my Italian wedding soup on our last visit, that previously contained several made me wonder.
The Valentino’s in Nashua remains and they are planning some changes as well. The menu and interior are expecting to be refreshed and a liquor license is also in the works. Additionally, table service is under consideration where order at the counter has been the only option in the past.
The restaurants are trying to reinvent themselves to provide an improved guest experience and hopefully a more profitable one for themselves. Best wishes and success to both.
