Aside from recently being named one of Orange County's Most Desirable Males by Orange Coast Magazine, Domenico Grillo is a Master Chef and Host Extraordinaire.

He has been in the restaurant business for most of his life. He is definitely a "hands on" Restaurateur with a passion for fine food and fine dining.

Domenico himself designed Valentina's interior. He even has a wonderful talent for oil painting. Some of his work is proudly displayed in the Bellagio Room at his restaurant. No detail was overlooked during the planning of the restaurants famous interior. You really must see it to appreciate it. There are beautiful Crystal Chandeliers and gleaming mahogany bars. There is leaded glass doors, luxurious velvet draperies, imported granite and slate and even Roman columns and hand-painted ceilings. And the restroom can not be missed! Truly opulent. It is an exquisite palazzo.
