"Best Joint in Town. Ignore the complaints you hear about this place, they 're few and far between, and quite likely the product of some ill mannered individuals.<br/ <br/ I 'm a return diner at the Valero and have never been disappointed. All of their food is great, especially their pizza and mannicotti, my top recommendations right there. The service is outstanding and this is definitely a 'Mom and Pop ' kind of place with all the home-felt qualities to go along with it. Some might call it 'hole in the wall ' but I call it quaint. Being a man who is absolutely critical about the service he gets, I 've never had an issue with the place. It 's one of the few places in San Antonio I can walk in, sit down and enjoy a meal without issue while listening to classic jazz and swooner music.<br/ <br/ For those of you who like to go on dates with the girl you just met or even your wife, this is DEFINITELY the place to take them. Some people like flashy things, but I 've yet to see a woman turn her nose up at a nice little Italian place she 's never heard of with great service and an intimate setting at night on the patio when the traffic is low. It has my absolute recommendation and seal of approval, so much that I grab a stack of their carry out and delivery menus each time I leave to hand off to friends and co-workers looking for some good Italian. To top it all off, the prices are on the low end for such an expensive city as San Antonio, and if you call ahead and let them know you 're bringing a date, you 'll see even better service than their already exemplary standard."
