Valerio's Italian Restaurant

A small hole in the wall Italian place located in downtown Burlington. We usually order their pizza to-go, but I decided to try their baked ziti. I was across the street at the Mini Dingo (a local bar) and the counter person said they'd deliver the food to me. I was quoted 10-15 minutes. After 25 minutes, I went to check on the food and the entrance way was crowded with no employee in sight. After another almost 10 minutes waiting, the counter person finally showed up with my food. I should have known better since I order here pretty regularly when I'm downtown, but I highly recommend not bothering with them delivering it and just going to pick it up.Now on to the food... the baked ziti came with a side salad and a ton of bread. The baked ziti was really good, but the star of the show was the bread. All in all, decent Italian food, but budget some extra time when ordering because it may take longer than quoted.

Called to make reservations for Sat. January 6 at 5 pm and was told they don't take reservations but I shouldn't have any trouble getting a table. Was there for a show next door for my wife's birthday. Got there at 5 pm as planned and they weren't even open. Website said nothing. Pretty disappointing as we were from out of town and had to scramble for a Plan B. If you can't depend on a place to be open when they say they are, then it's not worth giving them your money.

We were across the street for trivia at the Mini Dingo and ordered dinner, which they will deliver. Wife had a great sub and I ordered the Italian salad. Other than Italian dressing, there wasn't really anything Italian about it. Had pepperoncini and feta, so it was more of Greek salad. And they forgot the anchovies.

Cute little restaurant with EXCELLENT food and service!!! The servings are also great for the price.

First time trying this place and I was a disappointed in the food.Ordered: mozzarella sticks, bruschetta, Hawaiian pizza, and linguine pescatore.Mozzarella sticks: Hard to mess up. Marinara sauce was ok.Bruschetta: Too much cheese. Couldn't taste any of the basil and the acidity of the tomatoes was drowned by cheese. Bread was too soggy.Hawaiian Pizza: Soggy af. Literally felt like I was eating wet bread.Linguine Pescatore: Scallops were definitely not fresh and had been sitting for a while. Shrimp was well cooked. Clams seemed "instant". Flavor of sauce was decent and the pasta was cooked well.All in all, not a great first experience. Maybe COVID restricted some freshness.

Went last night (August 3rd) at 6:15pm. It was practically empty so we were a little concerned that it wouldn't be good. I ordered Chicken Marsala. It was a good size portion but it was smothered with brown gravy and mushrooms. I had never had chicken marsala with such a dark brown gravy before. The chicken was tender but the dish was less than average. The sauce was not flavorful. My friend had the salmon with a baked sweet potato. His was also mediocre. He got sick and ended up in the bathroom at 4am and again several hours later. The ambiance could definitely be improved with better lighting, paint and tablecloths to update the look. There is a place where extra supplies are stored if you look up as you enter the restaurant . A curtain to hide that messy area would be nice. It has a lot of potential.

If it wasn't bad enough paying over $50 for only two pizzas (no drinks or sides) I received horrible customer service when picking up my order today. Wonderful younger girl was assisting me at the register, but is newer so she wasn't sure how to split the bill. She went to get help from an older woman, and the older woman completely belittled her. My company will do lunch orders from a different downtown business from now on.

Ordering and pickup process difficult. Unorganized. Food was not very hot when I picked, even though I was earlier than quoted. Sodas literally locked up with a pad lock. Felt very expensive for what I actually got. Now the inside ambiance seemed very nice. Quiet and quaint. May give dine in a try.

Amazing food and the service is excellent!! The worker are so kinda, then even open the door for you!!! The atmosphere of the place is chill, it's an amazing spot to have a family dinner!!

Best Italian food We've found in the county. Great place to eat after cocktails at D&J. Many great selections with red sauce or white. Great waiters.
