Another fantastic meal at Trattoria Valona, this time for my birthday dinner. The lobster arancini was perfect. The autumn salad special with pumpkin and pomegranate seeds is a must try. Both our entrees of branzino and chicken piccata were equally delicious. We were also impressed with the rapid beer chiller ;) The service here is top tier. It's more like walking into your family's home than a restaurant. Thank you for a beautiful ending to my birthday.

Our first experience at this restaurant. Salad course was good (but not great). Lobster Ravioli was FANTASTIC (fresh homemade pasta and incredible sauce). Bronzino was disappointing (dry and bland). Server was excellent (attentive without hovering). Full house when we were there at 'prime time' Saturday night, so quite noisy and difficult to have normal conversation. We'll definitely be returning, but sticking with pasta selections and avoiding Saturday dinner rush.

Fantastic food, great service, very nice staff, nice lighting, low noise level. Will be a regular place for us.

Can't wait to get back to this little BYOB just on the south end of Hartboro. For a local BYOB , you can't beat it. .

Absolutely blown away by this place! Trattoria Valona is a small, cozy gem tucked away in Hatboro, and it deserves way more attention. The food was outstanding — every single dish was fresh, flavorful, and plated beautifully. We started with the calamari and octopus appetizers — both were perfect. For our main courses, the seafood risotto and filet mignon with mashed potatoes and asparagus were melt-in-your-mouth amazing.
The wine selection was great too — we had a bottle of Villa Antinori that paired perfectly with everything. Dessert was delicious, especially the Italian layered cups that rounded out the meal.
On top of the incredible food, the service was excellent — attentive, friendly, and made the whole evening feel special.
If you’re in the area and haven’t tried this place yet, you’re missing out. Highly recommend Trattoria Valona — a true local treasure!
DELICIOUS! Got the fried calamari and artichoke special as appetizers, and the veal Marsala and lamb chops. The food is prepared extremely well and the service is great, in a very nice atmosphere. Highly recommend!

This was our first time going to this highly recommended place on google reviews. We ordered fried calamari and it was pretty good. Our server was thorough in her knowledge of the menu which was great! But our main entrees were a total disappointment. My Vodka penne with grilled chicken tasted like tomato sauce with overcooked penne and chicken had a fresh taste to it. My husband wasn’t pleased with his jumbo Shrimp and crab pasta as well, couldn’t find any bits of crab in the pasta. Overall paid $100 for our 2 entree and an appetizer.

This place came highly recommended from a coworker. I was disappointed in the food. I thought it was all just okay. I had the lobster ravioli and it tasted a little fishy. The only highlight was the quick and friendly service.

Small cozy restaurant. It was empty when we got there at 6pm on a Sunday night. But the food was good, freshly cooked, portions on a smaller size. Our server was very friendly and suggested main courses for us. I would come back again. A little pricey.

This is at least the third time that we have visited this excellent Italian restaurant. We have experienced a fabulous time each time we have visited. The first thing you'll notice is that the owner is on site and greets and seats everyone. Nice touch. As I mentioned earlier the food is excellent. We had the vegetable charcuterie as an appetizer. Excellent. Partner had a salad and I had the Crab Fra Diavolo. All were very, very tasty. Our server was tremendous and never hovered over our table yet was there whenever we needed something. You'll love this place. Its small but with a warm and inviting atmosphere topped off by some great service and great Italian dishes to boot!
