The Best Restaurants in Skippack
Nine kitchens, all but one elbow to elbow on the Pike. This is the order we'd eat them in.
The Pike runs through Skippack like one long menu, with nearly every kitchen in town pinned to it somewhere. Top honors go to the outlier: an American dinner in a farmhouse on Stump Hall Road, a few minutes off the strip. Back in the village, the Tuscan-styled inn anchors the dressed-up end and a red-sauce dining room gets loud and full on purpose. There's a small sushi bar the town quietly holds onto in here too, for the nights pasta isn't the plan.
The Farm House Restaurant
American cooking in a farmhouse off Stump Hall Road, a few minutes from the village strip. The proper sit-down dinner around here, and the only table on this list that asks you to leave the Pike.
Parc Bistro
An eclectic bistro whose menu wanders from small plates to steaks and doesn't apologize for it. One of the village's steadier date-night rooms — the reservation that never needs a debate.
Basta Pasta
Longtime Italian on the Pike, heavy on pasta and the red-sauce classics. The dining room gets loud and full, which is exactly the point.
Calypso - Mediterranean Cuisine
Hummus through grilled kebabs on a strip that otherwise leans hard Italian. The change-of-pace vote, and we cast it often.
Vallini Ristorante & Pizzeria
Southern Italian with a brick oven, so the room runs at two speeds: a pie at the bar or the full ristorante dinner. It does both without shrugging at either.
Koi Sushi Bar
Maki rolls and nigiri out of a small room on the Pike, held down by steady regulars. The sushi spot this town quietly holds onto.
El Vago restaurante
Sit-down Mexican at the western end of the Pike, out near the Schwenksville line. Tacos and enchiladas on a weeknight, no reservation required.
