    Though not spelled out on the website, the restaurant is indeed  byob.

    The chef/owner's NY roots and positive reviews propelled us to Buona Sera. Last minute reservations and BYOB -- a must when we go Italian outside of Philadelphia -- made this a lovely evening. We shared a Caesar salad -- the dressing light and full of flavor -- coupled with calamari. Their calamari is delicious, fried just right, both tentacles and rings, with a tasty homemade tomato sauce. I vacillated between two entrees. When our gracious server (whose family owns the restaurant) said he'd ask the chef to pound the breast thin, I went with chicken parm. Other than a bit of a char on the cheese, the chicken was very good. (Leftovers for me tonight!) I was pleased that they obliged me with angel hair sauteed in garlic and olive oil .... but the amount of garlic was negligible. Needed more oomph! On the plus side, the pasta was al dente, as it should be. T ordered halibut, a special of the night. He loooooved it! I thought it a bit dry, but indeed flavorful and a good choice (albeit somewhat expensive.) Per usual -- calories be damned! -- we split dessert, pistachio cheesecake. Our assessments differ. My husband thought it delicious. I'd say "okay." The cheese layer was silky and undistinguishable. But if aesthetics count, the two-toned slice was pretty! Buona Sera is light and bright, with tables covered in cloths. (I like that!) Service was excellent and we enjoyed our meals. 4.4 stars! NOTE: After writing my review -- and too lazy to re-post -- I realized we went to the Havertown location, not Horsham. Sorry!

    The food was amazing and authentic . The service was excellent. The owner checked on us frequently. Ambiance was pleasant. With Italian music in the background. Lighting was perfect and i felt like a high class restaurant

    Nice BYOB, Italian restaurant. The food is full-flavored; the servers are attentive and friendly. The dining area has a nice white table cloth type feel. The portions are sizeable.

    I had a chicken dish with scallops, shrimp and sautéed spinach in a light marinara sauce served with a whipped potato.

    We came here to celebrate a birthday, and La Voglia Italian Restaurant really surprised me…read more Considering the location, this place feels like a hidden gem. From the moment we walked in, I was impressed by how beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean the restaurant was. We were lucky enough to sit right by the window, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It's also BYOB, which is always a nice bonus for a special dinner. Overall Ratings Atmosphere - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Food - 5/5 Parking - Private Parking Atmosphere - The restaurant is beautifully decorated with an elegant and intimate feel. Everything was extremely clean and well maintained, and sitting by the window gave us a great view while we enjoyed our meal. It's the kind of place that feels much more upscale than you might expect from its location. Service - The staff we interacted with were all very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. They made us feel comfortable throughout the evening and did a great job taking care of us during our birthday celebration. What We Ordered - -Lucky Charm Oysters - Very good. A unique flavor profile with a creamy texture, and the accompanying condiments paired beautifully with the oysters. -Royal Miyagi Oysters - Also excellent. Different from the Lucky Charm in both flavor and texture, but equally creamy and delicious. Both oyster preparations were uniquely enjoyable. -Small Seafood Board - Very delicious and a great variety of seafood. The octopus was my favorite, cooked incredibly tender and full of flavor. -Veal Osso Buco - Excellent. The meat was extremely tender and practically fell apart, while the risotto was creamy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the veal. -Sun Dried Tomato Tagliatelle - The homemade pasta really stood out. The pasta itself had an excellent texture, and the rest of the dish was just as delicious. -Chocolate Hazelnut Cake - Very good. Rich, satisfying, and a great way to finish the meal. -Complimentary Tiramisu - A really nice surprise from the restaurant and another delicious dessert to end the evening. Final Thoughts - Overall, this was an amazing dining experience and a wonderful place to celebrate a birthday. The beautiful atmosphere, excellent service, BYOB option, and especially the quality of the food all exceeded our expectations. La Voglia really does feel like a hidden gem, and we would definitely come back again.

    My boyfriend and I came on a Saturday at 5 pm thinking it wouldn't be busy and boy were we wrong…read more The place was packed but we were still able to sit outside and lucky for us it was super nice out. The service was quite quick and fantastic. They were so attentive to us and made sure everything was fine while also being super friendly. We got the Chicken parm and the seafood pasta. The chick parm was so delicious and the filling. The seafood pasta was loaded up with clams and mussels and the fettuccine was cooked al dente like I like. We also got oysters and calamari which was also delicious. The calamari has Brussel sprouts which were crispy. We will return in the future

    Went for a business meal and it was delicious. I got the penne vodka sauce and workmate got lobster…read moreravioli everyone enjoyed the meal. Very small and it is BYOB which is fine. Very good service and very good food

    The service was very good, and everyone was friendly and welcoming. We had a reservation, but there…read morewere still a few tables available for walk-ins. The food had both highlights and disappointments: * Lobster Ravioli: Tasted very good, although the portion was small. The sauce was flavorful and enjoyable. * Cioppino: This was the standout dish of the evening. It was loaded with delicious seafood, and while the pasta was slightly overcooked, it was still a very good meal. * Penne alla Vodka: The sauce was delicious and full of flavor. Unfortunately, the pasta was overcooked, but we still enjoyed the dish overall. * Caprese Salad: This was disappointing. The mozzarella balls tasted like they came straight from a container, the tomato wedges were not ripe, and instead of fresh basil there was a dark green paste-like topping. It did not taste fresh. * Chicken Parmigiana: This was the weakest dish we tried. The chicken was neither crispy nor particularly tender or flavorful, and the penne pasta was very soft and overcooked. Bread with olive oil was provided, but salads were not included and had to be ordered separately. Overall, this is a decent restaurant with excellent service and some very flavorful dishes, but consistency in the food and pasta preparation could be improved.

    We arrived early for our reservation and was seated right away…read more There were absolutely no negatives. The server was extremely friendly and accommodating. The food was really good and the portions were huge !! Love this place. Will be back. A gem for sure.

    Pasta Fazool Maria…read moreand I absolutely love Pasta Fazool it's one of those rare places that feels special every single time you walk in. The food is consistently outstanding, the portions are incredibly generous, and everything tastes truly homemade and made with care. A huge shoutout to Sergio, the owner and chef, for always creating such an amazing experience. You can tell he takes real pride in every plate that comes out, and his table-side conversations and funny stories make the atmosphere even better. Mirna, Sergio's wife and also an incredible chef, deserves major recognition as well the passion and quality they bring to this restaurant shows in every detail. The service is always top-tier. Savannah is absolutely amazing she always takes such great care of us and makes every visit smooth, welcoming, and enjoyable. Don is also wonderful and professional, and the whole team makes you feel like a valued guest from the moment you arrive. We've come here for everything birthdays, date nights, and even after-work dinners and it never disappoints. And the homemade ice cream is the perfect finish every time. If you're looking for authentic Italian food, a warm family run atmosphere, and a place that delivers consistency and quality every visit, Pasta Fazool is a must. Highly recommend!
