Vallini

"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."

"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."

"We were in the mood for Italian, so we decided to give Vallini in Skippack a try. BYOB is always a plus for me. We brought a nice bottle of merlot, and the hostess escorted us to a booth that was extremely uncomfortable. It was a small narrow bench seat accompanied with a straight 90-degree back. It was awkward and uncomfortable, so we asked to be reseated, which was not a problem. Our new seats were much better. We sat at a half table/booth, and even the booth part was better. Anyway, the waitress brought out the house bread and dipping oil, unfortunately the bread was so hard and stale it was basically unedible. We started with an order of calamari which was excellent and a good-sized portion. And for dinner we both ordered lobster ravioli and it was the best lobster rav I ever had in my life. The ravioli's were stuffed full, and the blush sauce was excellent. The fried prosciutto was a nice touch on the dish. The lobster rav saved the review... it was phenomenal. 4 stars."

"I ordered the special: homemade pumpkin ravioli in a white crab sauce with pine nuts. It was fantastic, the sweet pumpkin a great contrast with the savory sauce; although, the otherwise delicious bechamel could have included a bit more crab. My companion ordered the halibut - one of the most expensive selections on the menu. Unfortunately, it was way, way overcooked, dry and leathery, and lacked the typical moist, flaky, tender character of properly prepared halibut. This could have been because of the busy evening at the restaurant; however, an establishment should be consistently excellent, regardless of traffic, especially as otherwise fine an eatery as Vallini. The tiramisu, espresso, and service were exceptional."
