First time customer and I was extremely disappointed with the Prosciutto & Burrata Sandwich. The person who prepared this either was unfamiliar with how to prepare it or there is a bigger problem. The prosciutto was cut extremely thick, there were hard chunks of fat and other pieces that were impossible to chew. A total fail despite the good quality bread, burrata and arugula. The brussel sprouts while cooked well were sitting in a pool of sauce that just ruined it. With some minor fixes both these items could be very good. I hope you find this review constructive.

Once again we enjoyed a family dinner at this small warm ristorante. Service was attentive and pleasant as always. Food - always special to have that region of Italy's food showcased. Fra Diablo seafood was wonderful as were the other entrees. If you give this venue less than a 4.5 rating you should consider staying at the 'pizzeria' level for your Italian food. Being a BYOB is an added advantage as well.

We recently visited Vallini and had a mixed experience. While the salad and risotto were delightful, we found other aspects lacking. For instance, the steak, ordered medium-rare, was undercooked and lacked the expected rest time, compromising its quality. Additionally, the seasoning on the meat was minimal and the meat itself was poor quality. The Spaghetti seemed bland, and the calamari batter was unevenly cooked, with some parts remaining raw. Although the pistachio dessert was not to our liking, the gelato was satisfactory. Considering the price point, we expected a higher standard in both food quality and service. The service aspect was particularly disappointing, as the staff’s demeanor made us feel unwelcome. We hope our feedback helps Vallini improve

Very tasty entrees! Warm, comfortable, cozy atmosphere and we appreciate being able to make a reservation. Located right in the heart of charming Skippack Village.

Really terrible experience for our date. It was a slow rainy night with only 1 other party in there. The food was so so very bland. The staff were not personable. It was dirty as I watched the waitress test glasses while clearing a table by turning them over on her hand and if nothing came out she set them out to use again. The hostess told an old man that said he had reservations on an app that they didn’t see it and then next thing they are escorting his family to a table saying, “well at least you got a table” instead of providing better customer service and understanding. The staff stood around chatting and left us waiting so long we just left cash and got out of there.

This is a great BYOB. Authentic Italian cuisine. Aside from the typical pasta dishes, they offer a variety of delicious Italian entrees of fish, beef and pork. I highly recommend this place.

Popped in for lunch while shopping in Skippack and had a great experience. The calamari was some of the best we've ever had. Very tender and lightly fried. Just based on this we'll be going back for more. Had great pizzas too. The only complaint would be that they put shredded mozzarella on a Margherita pizza along with fresh mozzarella that wasn't melted. Despite this it was still very delicious. Host/server was very nice, but service was a little slow because she was handling everything at front of house, but worth the wait for the food. Wondering if the mixed reviews over many years is linked to inconsistent staff cooking the meals and some diners luck out and some don't. We'll be going back.

Ate dinner there last night with some friends. Food and atmosphere were good, not spectacular, but the service was terrible. Our waiter was miserable, rude and seriously detracted from the experience. Not likely to return. Shame, because we love a good

Delicious! Best pork chop I ever had, cooked perfect! And the fried burrata app was delicious! My wife's seafood fra diavolo wasn't as spicy as expected, but delicious none the less.

I love that this spot is BYOB . The short special was amazingggg. Great people , great food ! Head chef Alfonso never misses.
Dinner was excellent. Homemade pappardelle and the Brussels sprouts are the best. It was a little noisy, thus only 4 stars for atmosphere.

We really enjoyed our dining experience last night. The food was excellent, and our server Nelly was a delight. She greeted us with a warm and friendly smile, explaining the menu and options. She was very attentive without being intrusive. We will definitely return very soon.Parking: It was a shared parking lot but provided plenty of spaces.

I wanted to reunite with friends and my usual restaurant I go to had been closed so I wanted to try a new place. Prices are high for what you receive. I ordered the Chicken Parm. $26 and that is all I received. No salad no extra bread (2 small slices) and I had to ask for more sauce. The pasta was overcooked. The restaurant had a not-so-pleasant smell ( moldy and bathroom)and there was a constant banging like someone was shutting a door. Will not go back.

We had a party of 18 people and the service and food were second to none!! I would recommend Vallini’s highly. Great service, food and atmosphere.
