Welcome to Valle Cucina, Delaware's best kept secret for over forty years! Our name suggests Italian, and it is the best around, but we are also known for our seven time "Best of Delaware" award winning 100% jumbo lump crab cakes, seafood dishes and the area's most amazing dry aged steaks. Valle also showcases a 100+ bottle wine list.

Come as your are or formal, everyone feels at home. We take pride in our friendly service.

Located in the Pike Creek Shopping Center, off Limestone Rd. Valle, opened in 1981 as a pizzeria and has become a must try. We are inviting you to experience what many have called their best dining experience.

For special requests we suggest you call us 302-998-9999 so we can best serve you

    We found our new Friday night family go to spot. I dig their dough recipe so the pizzas and bolis are yummy. Pastas are typical red sauce but yummy. The steaks are amazing. Its always crowded, too. My wife loves the clams. I'd happily bring out of town guests here.

    Sat quickly was busy, server came instantly. Got our bread and drinks quickly. Bread very good we ordered large Caesar salad. Was good and got their bruschetta this was just ok. I got the diavolo and she got chicken parmigiana. Mine was spicy and was excellent. She really enjoyed the parmigiana. Both plates were filled so couldn’t finish. Enjoyed my leftover which still was excellent. Both got take home desserts once again were excellent. Would recommend.

    Except for the coffee we had with the dessert, our dinner experience couldn’t have been better. We were seated exactly on time on a Saturday night for 745pm. Restaurant was crowded with several patrons waiting to be seated. The standard bread and garlic oil was fresh, warm and sharp with flavor. We requested seconds! Our waitress Donnatella I think was her name?… did everything perfectly. Gave us enough time to order appetizers and entrees and dessert and checked in on us regularly: For apps we had crab stuffed pretzel and roasted Brussels sprouts. Both had their own unique flavors, with perfectly seasoned crab stuffed in the soft and warm soft pretzel to the crispy bacon crumbles sprinkled on the moist, flavorful yet semi crisp Brussel sprouts. Both apps were drizzled with a spicy mayo type of sauce. I ordered the traditional veal parmigiana. The pasta cooked aldente and the veal was freshly fried and crispy on the outside while juicy and flavorful on the inside. She had a grilled chicken with vegetables type of entree, which had a little spice to it. Not sure the name but she enjoyed it. She’s trying to eat more healthy and all the vegetables certainly was on the healthy side. We ordered the traditional cannoli which was sweet and fresh and had perfect texture of crunch and cream. When ordering coffee I asked if it was fresh? Our fabulous waitress said she could check and said it was brewed about 30mins ago? We said OK to the coffee, but it was not good. My recommendation to the restaurant: improve your coffee! (Waitress ‘comped’ the coffee since we didn’t enjoy it) Aside from the coffee, we aren’t sure why we haven’t eaten here before. It’s casual yet the dishes are far above the typical. It’s not expensive yet the menu has something for everyone. We will absolutely come back and dine again, and furthermore, request our fabulous waitress Donatella again! Highly recommended restaurant.
