Valentino's, 2 more restaurants to open in 2022

There’s been idle chatter around the downtown Square about its return. Social media has been set abuzz about its revival. It’s true — Valentino’s is back, well almost.

“We’ve gotten our construction permits from the city,” said an excited co-owner, Cody Taylor. “We’re estimating an 8-to-10-week construction timeline if all things go as planned. So, ideally we are looking at a first quarter opening in 2022.”

Taylor said they are actively trying to reconnect with the once popular eatery's past employees and guests to get feedback on what they loved about the place, including food and culture, as well as old photos that can be used throughout the space to honor the previous restaurant.
