We live close by and haven't been since it's been La Sponda. Went there today with family for an…read moreearly Mother's Day lunch. What a great experience! Our server was great and attentive, the food was really good! We ordered the Caesar salad, calamari, chicken with crab, veal saltimbocca, pasta with shrimp and crab, pasta with meatballs (the person who ordered didn't care for the meatballs but is very particular), baked salmon, and chicken parm dinner. Only issue I would address is that some of the parties food came out at least 5 minutes before the others (about 1/2 the party) which made it awkward. Otherwise, a great experience and all want to return!

We stopped in here for a late lunch and were hoping for a 4+ star dining experience…read more That did not happen. My dining partner ordered the bolognese and was very happy with that. I ordered the wild mushroom papperdelle. There was no evidence of wild mushroom in this dish. The papperdelle ate plain. The mushroom "ragu" was sliced button mushrooms that were barely sautéed in a watery/ milky broth (not creamy) as if they did not cook the water out of the mushrooms. The Parmesan was added on top at the table to both dishes. Was there a hint of truffle? Maybe in some truffle oil-maybe. The dish was grossly underseasoned. Not a dish I would reorder. I also ordered the octopus appetizer salad. The octopus was seasoned with harissa (not quite Italian but ok). Unfortunately it was slightly overcooked leaving it chewy. The greens were well-dressed arugula. Again not a dish I would reorder. Our waiter was doing double duty in the kitchen while the bus girl was bussing the table so fast she took our flatware before we could pack up our leftovers while tossing the dessert menus on the table. Just did not get a welcoming vibe and would not return.

Their Reserve Cabernet uses Australian grapes, which explains the $42 bottle price. Only four stars because they only offer flights instead of a traditional tasting. Frustrating that so many wineries don't offer traditional tastings anymore. Nice place overall though.

Very well decorated and designed, without feeling pretentious. Plenty of space so you don't feel like you're on top of other guests. We've come here with our kids, and as part of adults-only gathering and had a great time both ways. In the warmer months you can enjoy your drink outside, but I really dig the interior most of all. My preferred wines here are the sweeter reds, particularly the Deliciously Red! I recommend a tasting to see what you like and then settle in for a spell and enjoy a bottle afterwards.

There are several to many reasons why the Bottle Room is an awesome establishment…read more, and I can show you, or explain to you why. 1st- The Bottle Room makes for a great staging area while you wait for a table next door at Station Taproom. We all know the pregame can be fun. 2nd- A slew of great tapped crafts one can enjoy. 3rd- Their impressive selections of different crafts from cans to bottles you can purchase. 4th- For it being small, they utilize the space with the high top tables all around. 5th- You'll definitely stay hydrated. 6th- One can order food from their menu, and I must say looks pretty damn tasty. 7th- Yes please to all of the above. In all I am liking Downingtown , and what they have to offer in this area. You know my silly ass will be back again.

Looked up their menu online and was really excited to go downstairs and have a nice early dinner…read more The menu that was given to me was nothing like the one that was online! It was basically sandwiches and a couple of meal options I decided to go with a BLT since nothing looked good and the sandwich was absolutely disgusting. The bread was the cheap kind that you got at the cheap section of the supermarket. The bacon was also the kind you get premade in a supermarket. Nothing about it was gourmet or special yet it cost $17 totally not worth it. Although the waitress was very nice that's why I'm giving it to stars.

Va La offers old-world style varietals, served in a warm and inviting setting. Our server was warm,…read morefriendly and engaging, and we struck up multiple conversations with our fellow visitors around the bar. The wines are all produced locally, and the winemaker has a narrow focus rather than trying to create every wine for every occasion. The food pairing samples are all on point and are helpful when enjoying a tasting. I was able to determine what I was in the mood for while I was visiting, and also how I might pair a bottle I was planning to enjoy at home. The shop has not only bottle selections, but a number of tasty treats from local artisans and stores. The Italian Cookies (Tuccini) are excellent! A very enjoyable, and tasty experience.

The bartenders were really nice. The bottle "cellar" area is full of different styles. I perused the area and if your looking for international beers this is a good place to look. The shelves were stocked with a very wide selection of mostly Belgian, Italian brews with American Micro and German coming in just behind. I've had Spanish brews before, but they actually had in stock six to 10 different Spanish Brews and some Brazilian beer. (Makes sense since a Brazilian Steakhouse is connected to the building) The prices were fair and they even had some exclusive Iron Abbey collab beers with local breweries. It's out of the way for me bottle shop wise, but if I do stop by the area I'll of course check out their stock. I found a couple of nice hard to find Imperial Stout's that now have a nice home. A nice addition to the building.

Leading up to the day, they were eager and excited to help make the moment so special. On the day of the proposal, they reserved a beautiful spot for us to have our special moment.

It was our first time there, but we will definitely be coming back many more times!

We were a party of 8 and they were so nice to setup a table where we could all sit together even though it looked like they were full. None of our friends have ever been here so I let them decide what they wanted to order. We had many different tastes of wines to start from a Chardonnay, a pinot Grigio to a Shira. Everyone could not say enough of how good the wines tasted. The tables ordered charcuterie boards, a hot honey, pepperoni flatbread, margarita flatbread, pistachio pesto flatbread, two different types of french fries and a meatball martini. The group raved about the flavors of the different flatbreads. The pistachio flatbread was a great hit. No one would ever think of a flatbread with pistachios. Josh and Nick the bartender took care of us really great. We never had a wait for anything..

The pros: The menu includes several gluten-free options and plenty of shareable dishes, making it…read moreeasy to mix and match. Prices are fair, especially given the location and overall quality. The wine list offers a solid selection of both red and white wines, available by the glass or bottle, and they also serve wine flights--three 2.5 oz pours, if I remember correctly. The cons: The menu isn't posted online (see my photos for sample menus), so you'll need to be comfortable going in without previewing your options. It's also not marked for gluten-free items, so plan on asking your server for guidance. Most of the wines feature grapes sourced from California, with a few selections from South Africa and at least one Malbec from Chile. Aside from some Oakville Cab Sauvs, I'm not a big fan of California wines--so if you are, you'll likely feel right at home here.
