Vecchia Osteria

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

Vecchia Osteria is what looks to be the neighborhood BYOB. Their paper reservation book is large and full, and staff hugs show that there are many regulars. This is not a fancy place, but offers large portions and an extensive menu. The sautéed garlic carrots starter they bring is a nice touch (and delicious). We ordered the grilled calamari which were large pieces over dressed arugula. The arugula was dressed minimally and the calamari was over cooked and chewy. For mains, we got the pappardelle bolognese (homemade pasta with an average sauce), chicken francese, and veal funghi (3-sizable pieces covered in mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes). All dishes were good— not great, not bad. We ended the meal with the limoncello cake. It was good, despite it not being recommended by the waiter (tha

The antipasto was absolutely delicious, and the fresh made pockets of dough stuffed with pear and ricotta in a delicate cream sauce, topped with warm walnuts, were unforgettable on Valentine’s Day. And the limoncello cake was simply divine, especially paired with a perfectly made cappuccino. Every bite was pure indulgence. ✨🍷☕️🍰

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.

On a mini tour with our band, The Scooches we found Vecchia Osteria on our way to performing a concert for Friends Village, Paxson Campus in Newton, PA. Vecchia Osteria is a real gem in Newton! As soon as we walked in, we felt like we were at a restaurant in Italy with their wonderful decor and vibe! Our waiter Toti really added to the atmosphere as he eloquently, went through all the specials of the evening. He served us this wonderful unique carrot appetizer on the house; I really enjoyed the Bronzino and Betina (vocalist/composer for The Scooches) had and a delicious clam seafood dish. We both shared a delicious salad and enjoyed an espresso! Toti is such a professional waiter, sincere, down to earth with warm vibes! Pasquale, the owner and I had a wonderful conversation together abou
