"Family recipes fill the menu at Vecchia Osteria in Newtown where dishes such as eggplant alla parmigiana, pollo cacciatore, and gnocchi gorgonzola provide plentiful entree options for diners to choose their favorite one. But don’t order your entree immediately when you get to your table — take time to savor some antipasti offerings, including the caprese, clams casino, and calamari. For the grand finale, try the limoncello cake or chocolate chip cannoli — or order both if you can’t decide on just one." - Kristen Kwiatkowski
