I had a reservation for Valentine’s dinner with my wife. We were sat down fairly quickly, but also in the farthest corner of the restaurant – literally we were stepping on people to get there(definitely not compliant with ADA regulations). First off the drinks took 20 minutes to get to us. There was only one waitress for 10 tables! We then ordered appetizers and entries at once because we didn’t know when our waitress would be back. I had the ribeye and my wife had the crab ravioli. The ribeye was fatty, not the best cut. And my wife’s dish was terrible. The raviolis were filled with crab cake filler and the sauce was like seafood bisque. Seriously for an Italian place the menu lacked any pasta dishes. But… the bread rolls were really really good! That and the water was wet. I would consider going across the street to Anthony brick fire pizza instead.

Out of all the places we wanted to spend our anniversary we chose this place because the first two times here were excellent. But this time was different When our waiter came to our table he barely looked at us and said his name is ron and he guesses we’re ready to order which we were since it was 20 min till anyone came over. Now ron was not particularly busy I know this because he was half the time sitting at bar and half the time in the kitchen which we could see throwing food around and messing with young waitress. Our food finally came slammed down in front of us and ron walked away We needed more drinks so my husband asked bartender. Which she supplied. She was very good and nice btw. My veal Oscar was horrible. No taste at all. Our bill was 75 dollars which we left ron 15. I feel ripped off paying your lazy employees salary for a horrible dinner

Just ate here, these other reviews under 4 are crazy. ate the chicken parm, the best I’ve had in the longest time. Not to mention, definitely start with the bread and the garlic oil, ugh so good :)

I chose to celebrate my son’s 21st birthday here as he is a lover of Italian food. The waitress was very patient(I could not make my mind up). The birthday man enjoyed his eggplant parmigiana. The bruschetta was very tasty bits of prosciutto on top. My dish was very good just enough spice and nice portion(I don’t remember the name of it). I was satisfied with everything. I will return soon. I think they have happy hour, the bar area is small but well stocked.

Delivery always takes so long. Every experience has been ok. Today I ordered a buffalo chicken cheesesteak, and it was terrible and made me sick. It was drenched in oil so bad it bled through the paper. Wasn’t «buffalo» at all and I had 3 bites before throwing it away and my stomach was sick all day long.

Called to order a pizza for delivery from my cell phone. I called three times and every time someone would pick up the phone and hang up. I thought maybe my cell signal was bad so I called from my house phone. I ordered and gave them me cell phone number for call back. The prick on the phone said to me… «You are the one that called here 5,000 times» I told him I was calling from my cell and must have had a bad connection. He said«yeah sure» …I said I’ll order from another place. and hung up. I called back to speak to a manager and got the same person saying he was the manager. what?.. that did it for me… used to like the place. What happened to customer service? This guy is the manager? I will not give business to people that don’t appreciate the business and are down right rude!

Very good Italian food! Always enjoy coming here. Love the eggplant appetizer! Great service! Love the Caesar salad or split the antipasti. I usually order one of their seafood and pasta dishes — so very good. My husband loves their veal, or orders one of the specials. Large portions. Also very good pizza or chicken parmigiana sandwiches to go.

If I could give a negative stare, I would. So my mother has been going there for approx 25 years when she moved to Pike Creek and spent TONS of money there since my stepdad loved eating there at least once per week if not more; he then sadly passed and she moved to Bear, DE. My son continued to drive up there sometimes and we decided to take my mother there yesterday for her 74 birthday. BIGMISTAKE. i called to see if they would be serving the smashed potatoes at approx 230pm since my son had an issue in the past with them not always having them; the man on the phone(not sure if same rude manager prev reviewer commented on) rudely said no, we won’t have them. Just the whole way he answered the phone and his tone conveyed major attititude. I decided to call back a little wile later to double check since I had been a few months before for my son’s birthday at the same time of day and they did have them. This time they just answered phone«hello» and I said oh isn’t this Valle? answer I got«yup». okay, can anyone say unprofessional? anyway, I confirmed, no potatoes till 4pm and I said well it’s my mother’s birthday; do you think there’s any way they would make her some?(We’re only talking like and hour earlier prep here); he says hang on; covers up phone, comes back and says chef said no! I did ask why did they have them a couple of months ago at same time of day; he says«don’t know what to tell ya, we’re very busy, can’t prepare potatoes for one person». I started to say okay thanks anyway, but he had already hung up in my ear!!! First of all, wouldn’t have been for 1 person since a group of us would have been ordering them and couldn’t they for the sake of a 25 year customer prepare ALL of the potatoes an hour early for one day(instead of just for 1 person)??? They start preparing them at 3pm anyway for 4pm dinner; we were just asking them to start at 2pm… and then to speak the way he did on the phone and hang up in my ear?! Total unprofressionalism, disregard for customer service and total disrespect in general !!! We have also seen him screaming at his staff when we’ve been in for take out and basically acting rude to everyone around him… He just lost 3 long time customers and I will passing the word along to anyone else that will listen as well! Sounds like we’re not the only ones complaining about their poor customer service; we went to Firebirds instead and were totally satisified. Farther drive for us any way to go to Valle… Won’t be back!!!

Good food but incredibly slow service, staff/management doesn’t seem concerned with good service. I work closer by but we’ve speed going dirt lunch because we can’t get in & out in an hour– even though we only order cold sandwiches! If you decide to go & eat in I suggest you order 2 drinks & ask for everything you need up front because you will never see your server again!

The food is very good in my opinion for the price. Never had a bad meal and I have been going there for years for lunch and dinner. The servers are always polite and respectful. The two complaints I have with the place are as follows. At lunch they only have one server running around doing everything. Waiting tables, busing tables, bartending and serving as hostess. Ends up being a long lunch. So if you are in a hurry don’t go there. I don’t know what there logic is to have a crowd at lunch with one server running around like a maniac. I would probably go more since my office is so close but I can’t take 75 minutes lunches all the time. The other complaint I have is that during the winter the place is freezing and the table tops are ice cold. Can’t they afford heat at lunch. I think they are trying to save a few bucks but they are losing more in revenue. Like I said I would probably go there a lot more if not for these two issues.

TLDR: overpriced and under seasoned. I ordered a medium rare filet mignon, a crab cake, and broccoli rabe. The filet came out overcooked(medium) and had a funny taste to it, the«Award winning» crab cake was completely one note and missing seasoning BADLY, and the broccoli rabe also desperately needed seasoning. All in all, it cost me about $ 50. Given the quality of the food I received from a STEAKHOUSE, this is just sad

I will have to give this place another try before a more thorough review is given. I will start by saying the bread/dipping oil is good, service was timely and friendly, the menu has a very good variety ranging from pizza to seafood to filet mignon. There is something for everyone on the menu! I ordered the Ahi Tuna entrée at $ 21 with a side of sautéed button mushrooms at $ 4. When the meal came I was very pleased with the portion, as a big tuna steak sat on a hearty serving of risotto. The tuna was fair but the risotto and mushrooms were very, very tasty! My friend ordered the scallops and shrimp over penne pasta(you choose your pasta type) which I was able to try. The scallops and shrimp were delicious by themselves… I didn’t feel the pasta/sauce was anything above average but nevertheless was good. I would recommend trying this restaurant and look forward to trying something different on their menu on my next visit.

This is our go-to place. Food is always great; staff is always friendly. I have never had a bad meal. Love the chicken dishes, husband loves seafood pescatori, crab cakes are the best in the area.

Pretty good restaurant. I ordered a large pizza and split it with a friend. It was above average and very thick. I like thick pizza, so I enjoyed it. The waitress was friendly and knowledgable. It was a quick visit and I would definitely recommend it.

as others have said it can be hit or miss. Made a reservation on Open table for 630 on a friday night, req a booth which was accomodated. Opted for a mid priced btl of wine, which promptly came, However it wasnt very cold, i topped off the glasses we had and requested the server to take it to the bar and stick it in ice for a few minutes. Instead the server added ice to the undersized bucket on the table to remedy the situation, it didnt, but it was fine, the effort was there… my companion and i split the shaved beef sandwich as a app. it was outstanding, she had the fish special which was very good… I was in the mood for lasagna, but several times that i have ordered it here it came out very runny, wasnt very good. So I ordered the Lasagna but asked the server to chk with the chef and req a firm pc, I said it that wasnt possible, id take a steak boli, no problem whichever she thought would be better, and left it at that… we enjoyed our wine for about 20 min, then the entrees came,…My lasagna was indeed a firm sq pc, however it wasnt very warm, 120 degrees max,…I was hungry so just ate it and it was quite good, again, Id surmise the chef took the time to cut me a nice pc out of the backup tray and heated it up… again, A for effort, B for result Restaurant was full by 7pm, well staffed,…overall a enjoyable evening… wide price range, something for everyone

My brother likes this place and I took my mom here on a Saturday before Mothers Day. It was pretty crowded, but not surprising given that a lot of people were taking Mom out and it was a Saturday. We didn’t have reservations, but were happy to have a drink at the bar. Mom gives the martini a thumbs up! The service was really the sad part here. We were shown to our table and waited for at least 10 minutes before anyone came by. A long time elapsed between our order and the delivery of food; I know it was really busy, so I can’t ding them too much on that. The waitress was a bit absent, but I think it was just ours, as if our table was an afterthought; the other wait staff seemed to be present quite a bit more. The market prices for the steaks and seafood were a bit high by my standards. The rest of the menu(classical Italian choices) seemed reasonably priced. The bruschetta starter was really good. I had a steak with a crabcake and it was all good; the steak was very nicely cooked and the crabcake was good as well. It was a bit«mousse-y», but I enjoyed it! You get one of the side dishes with a steak. It’d go over better if they included two; how much do some steamed veggies or a baked potato cost? The had one of my favorite wines as a house wine by the glass, and the wine list was quite extensive, and no more overpriced than many other restaurants(most wines in restaurants are overpriced, IMO). I wasn’t blown away, but I’d certainly give it another shot and would be interested to try some of the more traditional Italian dishes.

My girlfriend and I went to Valle after having not been there in a while. When the groupon came out, we bought it figuring it would be nice to go back. It’s definitely not what it once was in my opinion I ordered the tortellini blush and my girlfriend ordered the salmon cedar. The tortellini tasted like store bought tortellini and was drowning in a thin(not creamy as described in the menu) sauce. The salmon was overcooked and burned to the cedar board it came on and the asparagus was overcooked tomatoes that came with it undercooked. She ended up getting my entrée as a replacement. Unfortunately we each bought a groupon and feel obligated to use the second. Something was very different about this most recent experience from past experiences at Valle and not for the good. To follow up to a previous post, the lock on the men’s bathroom door still does not work– 7 months later apparently

wow I dont even know how to show my love for this place. It is my fav. restaurants by far in the phil/nj/de tri state area. I grew up on this place and still come here everytime i come home for a visit. Living in Los Angeles now doesnt allow me to eat pasta the way that i did growing up but its all good because now i save it for my visit home(which is usually twice a yr) and most visits i come to VALLE about 3 – 4 times per visit. I dont even want to waste my appetite on any other restaurant. Everything from the staff to the food to the ambiance is amazing. I personally love the crabcakes, the house salad and the tuna steak BUTEVERYTHING on this menu is amazing i cant wait to come home in sept so i can get some VALLEINMYLIFE THEBEST.
