Food is always fresh and appealing. Service is friendly and attentive. Ambiance is especially nice outside on the patio when weather is warm. Can get a little loud inside with all of the tile surfaces. With so many restaurant choices in Newtown, this is a favorite. read more

We had an enjoyable evening at this lovely Italian byob. The interior is cute and bright, featuring a lemon theme. The staff were all quite welcoming and solicitous and Our requests were taken care of promptly.The standout in our meal was the perfectly prepared branzino. Moist, well seasoned and just.....*chef's kiss*. It was filleted backstage and we did find a few overlooked bones. We also enjoyed the pasta granchia, tilapia Al limone and pear, walnut salad. The fried calamari was good when you got the perfect bite of it along with the seasoned pepper. Skip the marinara, IMO. The outdoor seating looks like it would make for an even lovelier dining experience, in the spring/summer. All in all, well worth a visit for a relaxing evening out. read more

I had a dish of pink wine sauce with seafood and it was utterly delicious of flavor and quality seemed fresh- particularly the pasta. Several servers were impeccable with asking and telling us about (too many) specials and making sure we had enough water. Amaretto tiramisu was amazing with flavor and fluffy sweet texture. Specials would ideally be printed out on a separate mini menu or do a QR code if you can or place on website if not too difficult. Romantic setting or family friendly. Family run and they do a superb job. Contributes to make this community and area a more homier feel. read more

Went in shortly after they opened on Monday as a party of two and we were the first customers there. Beautiful place, the decor is so beautiful with a lemon theme and shades of blue. Our server was very friendly and social, explaining everything perfectly and telling us stories. The food was absolutely incredible -- the pollo ai limone with pasta was tangy but not overwhelming, and my friend loved the salmon. The cannolis were to die for, just incredible. I'll definitely be coming back many times, this might be my new favorite Italian spot. read more

Reminded me of the small rustic restaurants in Italy. Friendly staff. The owner was very nice and down to earth. Generous with the wine. The marinated carrot appetizer given for free tasted like a lovely mix of olive oil, garlic and parsley. Refreshing. Bread was soft and had the crunchy exterior. Perfect for soaking up any leftover sauce and oils. The purse pockets ( have another name I believe, but couldn't remember) were amazing. Great blend of pear, ricotta and the sauce was creamy, but light. A little bit of crunch with the walnuts. The pollo Anna was good. Has a strong flavor from the legit prosciutto. If you've ever had store brand and legit prosciutto you'll understand what I mean. The sautéed spinach was delicious. The salad was a light and tasty combo of oil, soft goat cheese, honey, celery, shallots? and arugula. Unfortunately the celery seemed like it was turning black and still used. Either way never had that combo and enjoyed. Italian sausage reminded me of my uncles sausage that he would cook in the summer. Great flavor. Overall plates were clean. Oh and don't forget the limoncello cake Loved it. Overall recommend. read more

I could never count the number of times I've been here for lunch since they opened, but seldom for dinner. I've never had a bad meal or bad service EVER. Last night for dinner, the place was packed! We had reservations and only waited maybe 10 minutes. We were seated in the side room usually used for parties. Since it wasn't booked for an event, they had it filled with tables. I've never sat in this room before. Almost immediately after being seated our wonderful waiter Max appeared to tell us of the specials. We wanted everything! He gave us a few minutes with the menu and then came back to take our orders. At no time was the crowded restaurant a deterrent to a wonderful meal and perfect service. Our only complaint was how incredibly loud it was in that event space plus they had music on which caused the diners to speak over that music. I wouldn't want to sit in there again. Regardless, we loved our dinner. We shared a fabulous special salad of baby arugula, delicious goat cheese, almonds and dried cranberries. It was dressed to perfection! We shared the special asparagus rolentini appetizer, which was 5 stars. We each had grilled salmon that we felt might have been the best grilled salmon we had ever eaten. For dessert we shared a limoncello cake as light as a cloud. Do I sound pleased? Absolutely! I was treating my friend who had never been there before for her birthday. She raved! As it happens, I'll be there for lunch with my friends on Wednesday. I do so very often. Vecchia Osterria has become my go to! read more

This place is amazing. My family , the six of us had dinner the other night it was the best meal I have had in a while, the whole table felt the same way delicious. We started with the calamari and clams casino they were great. Chicken parmigiana was so crispy and cheesy, my wife had bolognese sauce with Pappardelle. We finished with tiramisu and coffee great meal Treat yourself it BYOB, buy a great bottle of wine to have with a great meal Christian the server was amazing it was like he showed up with everything when we needed it read more

Overall, the food was ok and service was alright. Ambiance was light (see pics). Nothing was outstanding. As you walk into the restaurant, you're greeted with antiques and heirlooms from the family-owned restaurant's history. Old pictures of the owners and their family add a heartwarming touch and you know you're getting authentic, Italian food. Our server was busy and after we sat he buzzed to the tables around us before coming over to give us menus and take our order. We got the specials of the day: the burrata cheese plate* and the veal. Based on Yelp, I ordered the Rigatoni Osteria. The food was only ok. The plate of cheese was just that: a plate of cheese slices of parmesan and cheddar, salami and prosciutto, olives and of course the burrata. They had a sweet, balsamic-based drizzle. It was ok. The main meals were also ok. The rigatoni was again ok--it was pasta with some sauce I asked for salt. The veal was well cooked but drenched in the sauce so it was hard to differentiate the flavors. We sat in their covered outdoor "garden" area, that was covered with an outdoor tent. The area was semi heated but it turned pretty chill pretty quickly as the sun went down. Would advise bringing a jacket! read more

Was there on a Saturday night that was booked and busy! We did end up waiting longer than usual for our table (w/ reservation) however the staff and owner were so incredibly accommodating and really made up for the wait through exceptional service and food. Outside of our wonderful waiter, the owner came around numerous times to check in and ensure we had everything we needed. Food was outstanding as always. Will be back very soon for another fabulous meal!!! read more

Having dined at a couple of hundred restaurants all over the country, Vecchia Osteria is probably the most customer friendly and attentive staff of all. Our server Diana was fantastic and co-owner Gennaro expressed his sincere appreciation for our patronage. On to the food. Being an avid cook and as previously mentioned, I appreciate good food. The Sacchettini (Pasta purses) filled with a pear and ricotta filling in a Gorgonzola sauce were amazing. The clams casino were a bit small but the flavor was wonderful. My wife is a conasoure on eggplant rollatini and was impressed with the quality and flavors. Her veal parmigiana was very tender and the portion was huge. My seafood fettuccini with a full lobster tail, mussles, clams and shrimp was unbelievable. Both deserts were very good. This place is a gem that we only recently discovered and can't wait to go back. Kudos to the owners for setting the high standards for both their staff and food. read more

This place reminded me of an Italian restaurant that I've seen on TV show. The place had pictures of the family and friends who visited the restaurant. The tables are spaced enough for you to move about the restaurant. The food we'll I'm giving it 5 stars and 5 thumbs up . We will visit it again so we can see brother #V again. read more

I love this restaurant! They have the best Italian food this side of South Phila! Excellent & cordial service, some inventive entrees & specials, & everything is fresh & homemade. The chef/owner usually walks through the restaurant to make sure his diners are happy with their selections. One of my favorite dishes was always pasta with vodka sauce & lump crabmeat. This is a BYOB, so the cost of dinner remains reasonable. The interior is small & intimate & there's a wall of windows that's nice in the warmer weather, though it can get a little cold in winter. You won't be disappointed! read more

Always great service and excellent food. Beautiful family owned restaurant in Newtown. My favorite restaurant in Bucks county.

Everything from start to finish was fabulous!! We throughly enjoyed our food! Our service was great as well! We had the special appetizer which was zucchini flowers breaded. My 100% Italian grandmother raved about them. We had the calamari..delicious! Our entrees were amazing as well. Highly recommend the Fusilli alla Polpa Di Granchio!!! Can't wait to come back! read more

What a disappointment:( They squeeze people into this restaurant like sardines. It was horrific! The noise volume was like nothing I have ever experienced in a restaurant. It as if we were at a concert. There were no conversations going on at our table because we couldn't scream above the noise volume. We were forced to speak to the person next to us. I rate the decor 2, food 6, and the service at a 1!! The service was atrocious. We asked for a napkin several times and they never offered us nonalcoholic drinks with our meals. My bfs water had many dirty floaters in it. We were placed in a tent outside. It was drafty. Our table was a plastic picnic table that had paint stains on it. At least they covered this trashy table with a lemon stamped walmart plastic tablecovering. I felt as if these tables should've been in some back alley dupster in South Philadelphia. No kidding that these tables were used by someone painting a room somewhere. I had no idea of this until my boyfriend lifted the table covering up, and we saw the paint smears all over the place. We were a party of at least 10 down to earth people that all agreed it was a terrible experience. We will never go back again. A birthday I will never forget unfortunately read more

Man oh man where to even start? Perhaps I have too much to say. What I can say is that this place lives up to the reviews. The service is impeccable and our waiter made sure to make us feel like we were a guest in his own home. The food you may ask? Well let me tell you this is by far the best Italian food I've had in a very long time. It might even be better than the Italian that can be found in Boston's North End. Come and try this place for a nice dinner. You won't be disappointed! read more

We have been here before. This time we came in for Mother's Day a Graduation lunch. It was a fixed menu but they did accommodate if you wanted something else. We had a table of 7. Service was slow but expected on a holiday weekend. Food was good as usual. Most of us had the linguini and lobster. read more

Let me start out and say, we had the worst waiter in history. We were sat and waited 15 mins for someone to even come up to us, when the waiter came around he went to two tables that were sat after us. Ok, it happens, we put an appetizer in and our entrees at the same time and waited almost 50 minutes with still no appetizers. The two people who were sat before us had their meals already come out 10 mins prior. We asked the waiter what was going on and he said he would check in the back and to give him 10 minutes. We said that was unacceptable. Then this wannabe tough guy, the purported owner, came out with chest all puffed out asking us what the problem was. We told him, and he replied that's how it is, it goes in order of who came, we explained that we were sat first and the other people already got their food and we were still waiting for an appetizer. He then replied "They are only two people". Come on my guy, which is it, first come first served or the smaller party gets served first. The arrogance of this owner was ridiculous, instead of even just apologizing, he took the offense. Get off your high horse dude. Don't go here. This guy is just a joke. read more

Probably the best veal I've ever had. Liam, our server was on the ball. Friendly, courteous, and timely. The ambience was great, and my Italian girlfriend raved about the food. read more

The food here is pretty good, but not great at all. I'm an Italian-American who still makes my own Sunday gravy, grew up around Arthur Ave in the Bronx and have dined in Italy. I know great Italian food. So, my spouse had mussels as an appetizer. He said they were decent. For his entree, he had spaghetti carborona, which was very good. I had the caprese salad, which tasted fresh but needed some dressing, as it was pretty bland. The veal parmesan was tasty and the meat tender, but although the plate was smoking, the food was not hot enough. Servings are large, so we each took half of our meal home and will enjoy heating it to the right temperature tomorrow. Unfortunately, the service here leaves much to be desired. I want to feel welcomed and paid attention to at a restaurant that's not a fast food joint. We were seated, given menus, and water. Then we waited almost 20 mins to have our waiter ask for our orders. The "on-the-house" fried carrots were nice, but then we were sitting there waiting for nearly half an hour for our appetizers, without even a bread basket set at our table. One of my forks had dried food on it. I set is aside and didn't use it as I didn't need it, but still...a dirty fork? We finally asked for bread ourselves when the salads came; later we asked our waiter for more bread with the entrees, and it never did arrived. Our water glasses were not refilled once... until we done eating. Our waiter rarely came by to see how we were doing. Since there are so many really good Italian restaurants in Bucks County and in nearby NJ, I doubt we'll be returning here. read more

I have been here a few times for lunch and I love it! The aesthetic alone would be enough to keep me coming back. I adore the lemons and tile that really transport me back to the Amalfi Coast. But thankfully this spot has the food and fantastic service to back it up. Yesterday my aunt and I split an appetizer that was on special. It was a ball of fried burrata surrounded by antipasto like cheese, salami, olives, etc. it was every bit as delicious as it sounds. Also, the fried carrots they put on the table along with the bread are so tasty. For lunch I got a cannelloni special which was great. The pomodoro sauce on top was perfect and just what I wanted. The portions are so big that it was my dinner as well. My aunt had a fuselli dish with crab meat that looked delicious and she indeed confirmed that it was. For dessert we split a delightful piece of limoncello cake and I had a cappuccino that was perfect. Our waiter was so kind and efficient as well. The guy at the front (owner perhaps-definitely gave owner vibes) was great and checked on us to make sure we were enjoying our experience. When we left yesterday my aunt and I both agreed that we found our new regular lunch spot. I highly recommend this spot and look forward to my next visit. read more

We've been to this place a few times and every time has been great. The food is outstanding. In our most recent visit our server, Stephanie, was wonderful. She offerred great suggestions. The service is very good despite the place being packed. In addition since it's a BYOB you're not paying some crazy overpriced amount for drinks. We had oine of the specials, a pork based Ragu that was excellent. Really can't say enough good things about Vecchia Osteria. Ernie H read more

If you're visiting Newtown for the first time you definitely need to try out this place for the best Italian food. Such a cute little spot. They serve fresh bread once you get seated (would've been better if warm but still really good). We ordered the Rigatoni Vodka and the Ravioli di Mamma. Both portion sizes were huge and delicious. Definitely the best ravioli I've ever had. We ended the meal with cappuccino and tiramisu. As a tiramisu lover, this one was definitely at the top of the list. read more

Dined here several times with family. First time was fine though didn't like the idea of Italian dishes like chicken parm or eggplant parm is served with the vegetabl of the day typically carrots or potato's. eggplant parm with potatoes - not normal forcing you to pay $8. more for a small side of pasta. Flavor also not great as it dont appear their frying in olive oil. Service is just ok and ambiance is very nice however I don't plan on returning. read more
