My first 4 orders since I moved to the area were great. However my last and final order from this…read moreestablishment was atrocious. I came home from a long day at work, happy to not have to cook, and as my mother is putting the leftovers away she found a bug in the pizza. At first I thought she was mistaken but when I looked closely you can see the legs and the wing. I then called and asked for a refund and they started out cordial, but they only wanted to refund me for 1 of the pizzas. I then kindly asked for the whole order to be refunded because I didn't want to eat from a restaurant that allows bugs in their food. One of my daughters is non verbal and easily could've consumed that if we didn't spot it. Long story short, they wanted to come pick up the pizzas and bring me 2 new ones. I tried to explain that I would not want to eat from a place that has bugs in their food. I asked to speak to the owner, and the owner decided it was better to be frazzled and be in a high emotional state instead of speaking to me in a calm and respectful manner as I did with them. I didn't plan on posting this, but when you can't just have the decency to refund a $40ish dollar order when YOU'RE the one who's wrong, I figured it's best people know what they're getting themselves into.

My husband gets the clams with red sauce every time because it's that good. I have tried other dishes here and liked them all but the eggplant parm is my favorite. The people are also incredible. Great service and very friendly. We feel like we've known them for years! I highly recommend this amazing restaurant.

Food: I ordered something similar to Sal's Special Penne, and it was genuinely tasty--especially…read moreconsidering the price. Service: Decent, but nothing memorable. Our food was served in a timely manner and the basics were handled. Caesar salad was average. Ambiance: Beautiful, rustic feel and nice holiday decorations. JUST WRONG: They charge $2 per glass if you bring your own alcohol. I understand that restaurants are under pressure from inflation, but this feels flat-out wrong. It's a BYOB restaurant--what does BYOB even mean anymore if you're charged per glass for alcohol you bring yourself? ***On principle alone, this policy is enough to make me not come back to a restaurant that had better than average Italian food for a reasonable price. What a shame due to a very stupid policy.

And the portions and quality of food are superb. I got a Chicken Parm dinner, which came with pasta and a salad. It also came with garlic bread but I don't really like garlic bread.

The only good thing I see on their reviews are pizza orders. There was not one good thing to say about this place honestly. The boneless wings taste like sh*t.

Dining at La Sponda is a crap shoot. Here's why…read more Food is a 4-star. Cook staff is good with both the presentation and taste of the food. That's what brought us back. Unfortunately that's where it ends. Service is a 1-star. There seemed to be a language disconnect with the server. An overall near-zero experience. Our server was attentive to other tables seated after us who received their desserts before our entrees. Not one table check-in before, during or after the meal. Had to actually get up out of the seat to make sure the drink order was understood and it was right because the server did not seem to understand. Maybe that put the server off. We also flagged down other servers for assistance during the meal and even for ordering dessert. It took a long time to take payment for our bill. We almost got up to pay at the bar. Thus the crap shoot gamble at La Sponda. Atmosphere a 2.5 star. Loud atmosphere with a heavy metal music rotation. Good music, just not for this dinner atmosphere. Overall a 2.5-star on the strength of the food. We will not be back. Spending the money I did, even though the food is good at La Sponda, I don't want to risk a bad service experience again there. Not worth it for us but might not matter for others. Nevertheless - Caveat Emptor.

Local, came here for happy hour…read more Ambiance: Classic, comfortable, clean, not too bright. Seating: Sat at the bar. Tables and outside seating is also available.

Parking: Plenty of parking. Value: OK ("Things are tough all over." - C&C) This is my favorite place in Downingtown to meet friends at the bar for a drink and apps.

And they didn't tell us the price of the special before and I should have asked. But I've never had a 50 dollar swordfish that's why I didn't ask. It's always busy there and it's good now, not great. The sauce changed since I last went. I would give it one more chance.
