Skippack’s Slice of Heaven

Since June of 1989, Chiaro’s Restaurant in Skippack has been serving our residents the very best in homemade Italian food. Family owned and operated, this local BYOB and Italian restaurant have made their mark in our local community as the place to go for quality, scratch made dishes. Everything you will see and taste here at Chiaro’s is prepped, prepared and personally served by the Minopoli family and their small staff of dedicated employees. Owner Joe and Josephine Minopoli have put their hearts into what has become one of Skippack’s longest standing restaurants. A fact that can only be accredited to their passion, loyalty and love for food. All of which is hand created in their small and personable kitchen.

When it comes to ingredients, there is never a substitute for the real thing. This is a belief that the Minopoli family puts into practice each day Chiaro’s. After so many years in business, it can sometimes be difficult to stay consistent with the all overwhelming details of running a restaurant. But the skills and passion that Joe and Josephine bring to their food has been passed down from generations. Cooking classic Italian dishes from simple, fresh ingredients, in a kitchen full of family and love. That’s how this local family was raised, how they have brought up their children, and how they have made the appetites of Montgomery County residents better because of it. All of the Minopoli daughters have helped maintain a quality of service at the restaurant over the years. Daniela, who is currently attending culinary school is a wealth of knowledge and a pivotal contribution the back of the house, while younger sister Marina adds to the overall experience by greeting and welcoming customers.
