Growing up in an Italian family from New York who since lost all its traditions Vecchia Osteria put me right back in my childhood. First time there last night and can not say enough about this place. The food was phenomenal! One of my best restaurant experiences!
We had a get together here following a funeral and Vecchia Osteria was the perfect place for it. The owner had the side room near the outdoor patio set up beautifully to accommodate our large group. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the service was consistently attentive. Staff came out frequently to refill drinks, bring new courses, and check on us throughout the meal. We started with fresh Caesar salads, warm bread, and bottles of wine. The oil and seasonings on the table made for a perfect dipping mix. From there, the food just kept coming. Eggplant rollatini was served in delicate spirals, the crab-stuffed pasta was rich and flavorful, and the rotini in vodka sauce was absolutely amazing. I couldn't get enough of it and ended up forgetting to grab a picture. We finished with coffee and a unique almond tiramisu that had a really nice nutty flavor. Every part of the meal was fresh, delicious, and made with care. Vecchia Osteria made a hard day feel comforting. Thank you to the staff and owner for a truly wonderful meal and experience.
Had an amazing lunch with our dear friends from New Jersey. The decor brought back memories when we visited Italy almost 20 years ago. The entire staff were outstanding. The special salad, entrees & dessert was delicious and we cannot wait to see again in the future. We highly recommend Vecchia Osteria, you WON’T be disappointed!!!! Thank you . Sincerely, Ed R from Chester Springs
We used the lemon room for a wedding shower and it was lovely. The staff were so kind and helpful, they actually helped us set up all of our stuff! The food was fabulous from the salad to the different pastas and finally the most tender and delicious chicken parm I have ever had, their sauce/gravy was to die for!! Then there was desert… Two different tiramisus were served, amaretto and espresso, they were both so delicious I couldn’t say which one I liked best! I will definitely be booking my next occasion with “hopefully a baby shower” these folks! They are definitely the very best!
Such a lovely restaurant. Once my friend and I were seated, they brought out fresh bread and a delicious carrot dish. This may not seem extraordinary, but I do not like carrots at all, and I couldn't get enough of these! We had the Farfalle (bowtie pasta with wild salmon and onions in a brandy cream sauce) and split a piece of the Limoncello cake. Everything was perfection, along with the service we received. An added bonus is that it's BYOB. I will definitely be back!
Had a rehearsal dinner here for like 40 people. The food, the service, the atmosphere was amazing. Coming in from Northern New Jersey and having the dinner we had was 5 star to myself and family. I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you
My husband and I came here for date night and had a wonderful experience. The food was absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout the evening. The espresso tiramisu was outstanding...definitely a must-try! We also loved the atmosphere, which made for a perfect night out. We’ll definitely be back! 😊
This place is fantastic. I've had the privilege of eating at a few family-run Osteria, in Italy, and the family has absolutely succeed in brining the charm of the experience to Newtown, PA. Oh, and the food is delicious, generously portioned and reasonable priced. Just go there and check it out.
This local, family-run Italian restaurant is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed like family, and that warmth carries through the entire dining experience. The food is authentic, fresh, and clearly made with love—every dish tastes like it came straight from a traditional Italian kitchen. The service is attentive without being rushed, and you can truly feel the pride they take in their restaurant. It’s rare to find a place that gets everything right: incredible food, genuine hospitality, and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. This is one of my favorite spots, and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
One of the best places for Italian food. The service was excellent, the atmosphere transported us totally to Italy and the food was so tasty. We went to celebrate our friend’s birthday and they really made all of us feel so special. Thanks
