Valentino's Grand Italian Buffet

This place has been a consistently good performer over the years. I love the variety of food available on the buffet from American fare to all of your Italian favorites. I come for the lasagna and spaghetti with mushrooms and sausage. The pizza is pretty great. The salad bar is stacked. Then you get to finish with s'mores desert pizza (as awesomeas it sounds), bread pudding with pecans, ice cream and cookies. The $13 price tag is well worth the variety and quality. Veer off I-29 for this gem.

Buffet was excellent. So glad you kept the buffet. I do miss the spinach noodle/salami cold salad… but each item I tried was flavorful and delicious. The service as excellent. Very youthful staff but they really had manners, courtesy… gift for chatting and gave astute attention. Very intuitive like vintage mom n pop places I’d gone to for years. Yes, I’d travel the short 5 miles off the highway first the quality and service. Thank you.

Last location with buffet! We made the trek from Omaha to try it out and it was great! Staff was very friendly and accommodating from the moment we walked in. Salad bar area was well stocked with all the classics, lots of variety and even a couple of soup options. We came on a Sunday so it was a brunch style buffet with lots of breakfast options. All the regular pizza, pasta and bread options as well. Dessert area had great options too. I will definitely come back soon!

It had been many years since I last ate at this particular branch of Valentino's, so the redesigned interior caught me by surprise; but in a good way. I came on a whim and I didn't know if this restaurant still did buffets until entering the building. Despite the long absence, the lunch buffet was just as good as I remembered it. If the mood takes me, I may come back one day.

Very good pizza and pasta buffet in Nebraska City.
Broasted chicken and ribs are additional items worth a sampling.
Very reasonable pricing.
Party room available and lots of children birthday parties are held here.

I wish they added more cheese pizza after it was done but if your close go give it a try. It was only $10 per person they have a variety of things pizza , pasta , salad bar , dessert everything you would want when getting pizza without the additional costs of everything individually. Also the waitress was super friendly!!

So clean. All the Val’s favorites available. Server was very attentive. Best experience in a while at any valentinos location.

LOVE this place. There are not many Val's buffets left, so this is always a treat. Food is always good and the staff there is always very nice. The restaurant is very clean and well taken care of. I can't say enough good things!

Used to be a Valentinos in Topeka so when traveling thru I had to stop, and was not disappointed! Wonderful food and assortment.

Had a great experience and the food was phenominal!!!!

Edit: 5 years later I come back to try this place again and wow it was a let down. Got the jumbo bacon cheese burger pizza and it was so loaded with onions and pickles that's all I could taste , couldn't taste the sauce or the meat. I only ate two slice and then couldn't even give away this pizza because of the overwhelming onion odor. The boneless wings were ok nothing to brag about but definitely left me wondering what happened since I was last giving this place my business that it got this bad, a crushed pizza upon delivery ???? Then it was made with such calus . I almost felt hated upon when biting into this pizza like someone angry made it with no love.
Needs work Valentino!!!!! 😔😔😔

The staff was very friendly, and attentive!
They made sure to let us know when fresh things came out, and to ask if we had any requests. The food was quite tasty, and nothing seemed stale.

My go to place to dine when in Nebraska City! Best pizza in town. Awesome buffet as well. YUM! 😋

Yum! Like old school Valentinos! Can tell they make the pizza crust there, instead of the pre made ones we get here in Omaha. So flaky and good! Waitress was fun and good to me and my wife, will return next time we're in Nebraska City. (but first I gotta eat all these wonderful apples I bought at the applejack festival 🤣)

Came on christmas eve. Staff was so welcoming and friendly, food was super fresh and constantly refilled. Great treat for family home for the holiday!

Very friendly and staff kept up with drinks and items at the buffet. Wish Lincoln would reopen their buffets. Very good experience!

So nice to have a good buffet. Staffnis always nice and the prices are fantastic!

They were super busy but still got great service was clean and the food was delicious thanks to all the employees that work there

The atmosphere is always great at this place and the staff is so helpful would recommend it to anyone very good place to eat the buffet

Loved it. Family photos, great atmosphere and the food wasnt just pizza, they had a huge salad bar and what i consider southern cooking cplete with fried chicken, mashed potatoes, biscuits and gravy! Loved family pics with grandkids.
