I can only assume this place is so popular because of the lack of decent Italian food in Bucks County. While the food here is good, it's definitely overpriced for what you get. The chicken parmigiana didn't come with any sides and no bread was served. To spend over $25 for an entree and not get bread or pasta sides is a bit ridiculous. read more

I have been here a few times, some for dinner others for graduation parties on the patio. Honestly, don't think this place is anything special. Food is tasty, I prefer the pasta dishes. Chicken always seems to be dry. Friendly servers and a nice atmosphere, service can be slow if it is a busy night. I went with my parents and family friends in January, ate on the covered patio and the music was so loud we couldn't hear each other. Not opposed to going back, just not my first choice. read more

Came to La Stalla for a birthday dinner. It was nothing short of a fantastic meal! We had reservations but they were clearly busy, bordering on chaotic. Yet our server was chill as a cucumber, attentive, and on point as we asked him questions. We were a hungry table of 4 so we did our own 'family style' (not their official family style menu - just ordering individual portions of everything and sharing them). I am thrilled to say the portions 'for one' are extremely generous - you get both quality and quantity here, which I find to be an increasingly rare treat! Here is what we ordered, as well as what I especially *recommend. Everything ordered was the 'for one' portion (except for the salad, which was 'for two'): BRUSCHETTA CAPRESE (4 pieces) - Crisp but not overly crunchy, this was a nice and bright starter. It was tasty, with a bite of fresh mozzarella atop each of the pieces. (That said, the house bread they serve is REALLY good - so next time we might order something in place of this.) *EGGPLANT ROLLATINI (2 large pieces) - This was a last minute add to our order, in lieu of tacking on another pasta entree. And what an add it was! Did not disappoint. The prosciutto added a nice saltiness that balanced well with the ricotta, and the eggplant was of course perfectly cooked - and well sliced, too, so that it didn't get lost in the ricotta (which I find often happens with this dish). The sauce was great, too, and this was a favorite of the table. ORANGE SICILIANA SALAD ('for two' - definitely could have ordered 'for one,' though) - Light and refreshing. Definitely get a bite of orange with your forkful of spring greens! This was a pretty simple salad, but I'm glad we got it, as it was a nice balance to the heavier/creamier dishes we ordered. *RIGATONI CARBONARA - Oh, this was a contender for my favorite dish. I'm normally a sucker for tradition and while they use bacon instead of pancetta...holy cow, I would eat this any day of the week. The sauce was incredibly flavorful and clung so perfectly to every bite of rigatoni. The onions were caramelized to perfection, and each ingredient was just singing as you ate it. I guess I'll throw my traditionalist preconceptions out the window: This might be the best carbonara I've ever ordered. *BLACK TRUFFLE SACCHETTI - These are basically fresh pasta purses of ricotta - but there's nothing basic about them! I actually couldn't tell you if the black truffle shavings were inside the sacchetti or in the sauce: the sacchetti were so creamy inside, and the butter/almond sage sauce was just divine, and everything was cooked to perfection. We were debating between this or the mushroom risotto - maybe someday I'll try the risotto, but I don't think there's a chance we come back and DON'T order this for the table! FETTUCINE BOLOGNESE - They are very flexible about mixing and matching pastas, so we were quite happy to get a nice, twirlable pasta with their bolognese to balance all the white sauces we had across our other shared entrees. This was good, and definitely great to have a red sauce for balance, but not a dish I'd go out of my way to return for (it may have just been outshone by the other pasta entrees we ordered). We also ordered one of the bombas for dessert: strawberry, chocolate, and pistachio gelato covered in a chocolate shell and topped with drizzled chocolate and whipped cream. It was a great finish to the meal (though it was a little different than advertised - it tasted more like ice cream than gelato and had a dark chocolate shell instead of white chocolate - all good though). We also got the straight pistachio gelato which was flavorful, and I also ordered the strawberry margarita, which was ABSOLUTELY delicious - highly recommend it! My only complaint is the noise level in the restaurant. It's a beautiful ambiance - warm stonework in the main dining space, and nice open architecture - but it is SO LOUD as a result of all the hard surfaces. There was a lot of repeated conversation at our table just because it was difficult to hear with the ambient noise. Next time we might try to request a table on the side section of the restaurant - perhaps the sound will be better there? You can guarantee we'll be back, though!!! read more

The food was excellent! Loved the Lemoncello spritz. We ate inside and it was pretty noisey.

By-and-large a nice place to go. Most food items are fairly good (high priced for what they are, though). The biggest disappointment is their meatballs. They are like rocks. This is so surprising considering it's an Italian place. Other than that, the interior bar only has about 12 seats, and the exterior bar is an electrocution hazard as there are stripped wires all over the place. read more

Came here with my company for a work dinner tonight. No issue with parking, I parked behind the building facing mattress firm and the rest of the shops along the mall. This restaurant is deceptively large, so many tables and they accommodated our party of 12 with no issues. We had a couple appetizers, the meatball with ricotta and sauce, a charcuterie board, and fresh baked bread. The bread was spectacular! Just crispy on the outside and warm and fluffy on the inside. The tables had Italian seasoning on the tables ready for the olive oil to dip. These meals can get quite large so I went with an order of the lobster ravioli. Came with 4-5 shrimp and also a pink sauce and some roasted peppers. The bread made a comeback as I was eating my ravioli so I could enjoy the sauce even more. They have a larger dessert menu but our group passed. The management of our company clearly knows the management here, they were greeted warmly and our server and service was excellent all evening. Sometimes with these groups the servers can get overwhelmed with entrees and so many drink orders. They killed it tonight. Family style eating is also available as every plate is offered for one or for two. Eating here with friends could be very fun, but I imagine it could get loud- that's part of the deal when you're out though! Worth a chance, I'll be back! read more

La Stalla - Lobster ravioli - Italian Near Me - Newtown, Pennsylvania

Excellent! Large restaurant with very nice outdoor spaces. Was able to accommodate our group of 9 with ease. Excellent Italian food and extensive wine List. Pork chop in cherry pepper sauce was awesome! Will return! read more

The service was awesome, and the food was perfect. Just went with a party of 9 and we all enjoyed ourselves. Lido was our server and he couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend asking for Lido to serve you and also just checking out this beautiful spot in Newtown! read more

If I was just rating the food I would give them 4 stars. However the service we have had on multiple occasions has been pitiful. Due to the service we have stopped dining a while ago. The servers seemed to be bothered with having to wait on us since we are not "regulars". Our money is as green as everyone else's and from now on we will spend it at another Italian place in Newtown with good service. Bottom line if you want good Italian food and service that is not rude. Go somewhere else! read more

Went there for my nieces birthday last week, service was great, food was good. My penne in a Vodka sauce could have been more creamier. It was a tad dry. The table shared, eggplant (awesome) asparagus (perfectly cooked) chicken parm was the best I had in a while. The red sauce was spot on. A little pricey but so worth it for the experience read more

Pretty basic. Not incredibly amazing for the prices. I don't like the ala carte feature. I ordered takeout, I got a simple chicken Milanese dish. The chicken is dry and over cooked so it's very hard to cut through. Mehh! The bruschetta container was broke open so it leaked some in the bag everywhere.. but What's Italian food without bread? No bread? Sad. There are a good amount of mussels here. The mussels not bad they are okay but this is not as good as I guess I expected from all the reviews. Wasn't bad, but honestly it could be better, it really wasn't that good. Eh. read more

La Stalla - Italian Near Me - Newtown, Pennsylvania

The food is just "so-so". The girls that greet you at the front are horribly rude and acted like they were being bothered that we were there. The prices don't reflect the flavor of the food. It's kinda like regular Italian / pizzeria food at a premium price. The ambiance though is amazing. The place is super nice inside and out. If they could get a better chef and happy employees, this could be a really good place. read more

It was very busy when we went, the server was attentive. The food was very good and big portions which is great for left overs! I thought it was an intimate and cute place read more

This is what I'm talking about! If you want to have a top notch dining experience in Newtown, I found the place for ya. Everything about La Stalla's game is on point. The place was wildly busy. They were able to get us a reservation despite the fact that we called late in the evening. And let me tell you I called several restaurants in the area and none could seat us before 8:45. Once we were seated our busser and server immediately greeted us. They were helpful and attentive without being overbearing. We ordered the bruschetta and antipasto platter to start. The bruschetta was the perfect bite. The bread was toasted nicely and the tomato topping was fresh and light. The antipasto platter was a nice combination of meats, cheeses, and marinated vegetables. A nice balance of flavors. So now that we were all nice and primed with the appetizers it was time for the main event. We ordered the lobster ravioli, gnocchi sorrento, and the black truffle sacchetti. Let me break this down for you.. Everything was really mediocre. Omg I'm totally kidding! It was all stellar. Each pasta had the perfect amount of sauce and seasoning. All of the ingredients were of the highest quality. It was rich and delicious and beyond satisfying. Make this your first choice for Italian fare. Unbeatable in terms of price and quality! And there is plenty of parking. read more

Good wine selection. Wonderful indoor and outdoor atmosphere. Good for party or wedding reception. Wonderful services even during the prime time. However, food taste did not meet my expectations compared to the restaurants at Glam in Venice. With this high price range I was expecting more tasty food that makes me feel like I could die for. T Bone Steak was too tough. Lot of free parking spaces at the back of the restaurant. read more

A large rustic, Italian restaurant, that serves quality food and offers family style dining if you want to share with the table or take some home afterwards. I have come to La Stalla many times and always perk up a little bit when someone from my family mentions it as a possible dining option for a night out. This is a great area to spend the day if you want to go to the Newtown farmers market which is right around the corner you can make a day out of it and come to this quality restaurant in the night time. The bill here can get a little pricey however so I do not recommend bringing a first date here ~ I did and boy was that a mistake, lesson learned! read more

The food was great and the sandwiches were on point. I ordered take out and the pasta was great.

First the ambience outdoors was very pleasant. We had no reservation on a Saturday about 3:30p and were actually seated quickly. I had no idea these folks took reservations, but this was a vary last minute decision to head out for a late lunch-early dinner. My wife had just returned from a weeklong business trip to Atlanta, so it was a welcome home celebration. Appetizers were great. Bruschetta and the Eggplant Rollatini. Very tasty. Entrees: My wife had the GF RISOTTO CON GAMBERI. The dish featured sautéed shrimp, asparagus tips, & a hint of lemon zest. It was too salty, had too much onion and very little lemon zest. It was not a dish she would have again. I had the GF GAMBERI LA STALLA. It featured Jumbo shrimp sautéed with garlic, parsley, lemon in a white wine sauce. That was delicious. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. The dish is just a pile shrimp. No sides. So I ordered a side of linguini in olive oil with garlic. Wow!! The garlic overpowered the pasta and the pasta was not seasoned. Any good chef knows....SALT THE DAMNED PASTA!! With that I also had a side of asparagus. That was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Dessert: Orange Rapini. Good. Delicious. Obviously frozen from a box. Peanut Butter Bomb. Again Delicious. Again...frozen from a box. Overall. Ambience was great, food for the most part was delicious and the service was fantastic. Our waitress was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable. Loved the service. We will be back, but not for the risotto. read more

Came here on a beautiful summer Saturday night with a friend and without a reservation. It was crowded but not overly packed. We were told it would only be a 15-20 min wait so we opted to sit at the beautiful outside bar as we both enjoyed cocktails. My vodka martini was made perfectly! Our table was ready as promised. We were seated at the most beautifulest outdoor patio that feels like you are on vacation. Our waitress Angela was super delightful and everything we ordered was spectacular! Very upscale and welcoming restaurant and have been here a few times and always have a more than pleasant evening! read more

This is absolutely my favorite restaurant in Newtown, Pa. The owners have become like family and my family has had most of our local milestone celebrations at LaStalla since I moved here almost 24 years ago. The food is always fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is lively and ambiance is great. The outdoor patio is nice in the warm weather. The service is top notch and everyone seems to work really hard. You know if you go there you will always see a friendly face! Thankful to have a place like this in Newtown! read more

Always excellent food and terrific service. You can eat overlooking a stream, eat inside or have top notch drinks at the bar. High quality of service and very cool setting in the old warehouse building read more

A bustling eatery in Newtown surrounded by a too-small parking lot serving classic Italian cuisine. Waitstaff is adequately attentive for the volume of customers that they shoehorn into the establishment. The noise level approaches unacceptable without exceeding it on a smart watch. The restrooms are in need of some attention mid-evening with paper towels overflowing the bins and urinals not completely flushing. The food is served in generous portions albeit meh. read more

We recently dined at La Stalla and it was fantastic meal! From start to finish everything was great! We started with the clams casino and the fried mozzarella. Both were house made and delicious. The clams casino were fresh and had just a touch of spice. The mozzarella also fresh was cooked great and the sauce was spot on with the sweetness. For our entrees I went with the chicken parmigiana and my wife had the fish special (swordfish). My chicken again was spot on. It's hard to mess up parmigiana but it happens. I really enjoyed their sauce. The portion was large and in my opinion a bit too large. My wife enjoyed the swordfish. It was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. The asparagus was undercooked and the shrimp were a tad over. We overlooked it and didn't think it was a big deal. The service was great as well. Dining with kids isn't always easy but the staff here was very accommodating and helpful. We would return. read more

Tell the truth, we were disappointed. We were there on a Sunday mid-afternoon - after the noon rush. The ambiance was very nice...the service superb...but the food was a big disappointment. I ordered the Chicken Marsala. which I found to be virtually tasteless. Another member of thee party ordered the Melenzane al Formo...they, too, were disappointed. Said the eggplant was soggy and, taste-wise, a little bitter. Neither dish lived up to the reputation of La Stalla. read more

Visited for the first time on a Saturday. Thankfully made reservations because the place was jam packed with hour or more waits. Nice place although if loud isn't your thing, this may not be your style. Food was excellent as was our waiter and the bus staff. Ordered the bruschetta and fried calamari to start. Bruschetta was fresh herbs and tomato's on a nice crispy toast. Calamari was not fancy seasoning-wise but it was cooked nicely and was tender. Second course was insalata di arance alla siciliana. Fresh mixed greens and oranges with a nice citrus olive oil dressing. Wife had the black truffle sacchetti and loved it while I did a traditional rigatoni carbonara with a side of meatballs. I hadn't had carbonara in a while and this didn't disappoint creamy and salty with past done perfectly. Three big meatballs with flavorful red sauce on the side made the dinner. Slightly pricey for two but I'd recommend if you're looking for a new Italian place to try. Maybe hit it up on a weeknight to see if it's quieter. Definitely going back. read more

We've been to LaStalla many times, it's a local go-to for family celebrations. So naturally when my daughter chose it for her graduation dinner, of course! We know they get busy and like to recommend their family style dinner and we know it's pricey. None of that mattered until this time. Service, great!! Emily was fantastic....The food was not worth it at all!!!!! Everything was either cold or a reheated dish made earlier that tasted like rubber. We are talking about simple chicken dishes. The app was barley breaded, the Chicken Parm had an un-melted brick of cheese. My kids all noticed it was not the LaStalla they thought of when they picked it. Shame on you LaStalla for serving reheated food. I've worked in restaurants where the average wait was 2 hours and never dealt with reheated food. What a waste read more

They were very accommodating on a Saturday night for pushing our reservations back two hours. The event was my mother's birthday dinner and we were eager to try La Stalla out after not visiting in many years. It was very crowded and noisy with tables devouring their cheese boards and enjoying their Pinot. The seating was a little crammed and you had to shimmy to get past other diners chairs. But nevertheless, that was the only negative. Our server was kind, well spoken and on top of all our needs. We started with a few beers and a glass of red. Warm bread came out with a side dish of spices. EVOO was supplied on the table. The meals included: 16oz sirloin with potato wedges and broccoli rabe, lobster ravioli with shrimp, chicken piccata and veal. My dad loved the veal, my mother ate more chicken piccata than I've ever seen, Jess thought her steak was just okay but the broccoli rabe she loved and I loved my lobster rav. I only dreamt that their was more than 5 of them for $28. La Stalla is a great spot for really good food. A meal that is memorable for sure! read more

We ordered take out from La Stalla for Father's Day. The food was excellent. Everyone enjoyed their meal and everything was ready when I came to pick it up. We are definitely looking forward to going back in dining at the restaurant now that things are relaxing. I ordered the chicken Parmesan platter and it was delicious. The portion was big, chicken was tender and it had the perfect amount of sauce and cheese. The salad and rolls were also very good. I look forward to going back and trying other things on their menu. read more
