Valentino’s sets opening date

Jan. 17, 2023

Valentino’s will be returning to Sioux Falls next month.

The Italian restaurant is scheduled to open Feb. 6 in a retail center on Ellis Road north of 41st Street.

The Nebraska chain left Sioux Falls in 2015 and now is being franchised locally by Jenny Pals, whose family enjoyed it when it was in town and then discovered the newer carryout model while in Nebraska for athletic events.

“There seems to be quite the positive buzz about the return of Val’s,” Pals said. “I’ve had tons of people contacting me and saying what their favorite food was at the previous Sioux Falls Val’s restaurant.”

At 1,800 square feet, the new format focuses on carryout service while also offering delivery and catering. The menu still includes several varieties of pizza, lasagna, spaghetti, salad, garlic bread twists and cinnamon breadsticks in addition to favorites specific to certain locations.

Construction “has gone very smoothly,” she said. “I have been extremely impressed with the team from Lloyd Construction. They have made the build-out experience a very positive one.”

Hiring has gone well but continues, Pals said.

“We have a great base of employees hired but are still looking for some interior store help as well as delivery drivers,” she said, adding there are “very flexible hours … (a) great opportunity for high school and college students to work after school or classes are done for the day. We close at 9 p.m. so no late hours.”
