La Stalla

It was an exhausting first experience. Our first mistake was sitting at the bar to eat. The moment we walked in, the environment consisted of obnoxious, drunk men, with foul mouths. From 4:30pm to 6:00pm that's all we listened to. It took us awhile to get the attention of all the servers/waitresses/waiters. People were vaping. I understand the holiday craziness but this seemed over the top. The food was very good. I will give them that. The workers were very nice. I don't expect we will go back!

The best thing we had was the extra virgin olive oil with bread, everything else was pretty meh. The next best dish was the kids’ penne alla vodka, which could definitely be improved by adding a bit more cream; it was a little too acidic. But oh man, the veal marsala was awful! The sorrentino was just okay, and the veal rosemary was a complete waste of time. Please work on your recipes, none of these would be hard to fix!

This is a 10/10 for us EVERY SINGLE TIME. The food is spectacular but this time our server was even better. She heard our needs from across the room without being asked. We only photo'd dessert... its the best part hehe

I was only here two times...but I enjoyed both my visits. Our servers were young and inexperienced, but friendly, accommodating, and hard working. The bartenders are very friendly as well. I rate the food between good and excellent. The portions are decent. The ambiance is rustic and cozy, yet classy...and their patio is gorgeous. On our second visit, we were lucky enough to hear their in-house "opera singer" sing "happy birthday" several times, operatic style. I think he works in the kitchen. Honestly, I cannot wait to go back. 💜

Our server Samantha was great! We enjoy trying new places and we were impressed with the family style rustic indoor/ outdoor seating and sitting under the pergola... beautiful. It sort of transported us to a recent dining experience in Greece. Loved the octopus salad. Loved the Rigatoni Carbonara..that we took the left overs and had it for dinner two days later and it was just as good...and we never take away restaurant left overs which means 1- the portions were great 2- the food was outstanding. We will definitely be back!

We dined in for dinner. Everything was really good and the staff were really nice. I didn’t expect it to be that busy on a Wednesday night but it was maybe because we’re in a heat wave so not many people sat outside so it was good that we made a reservation. We started with the bruschetta, eggplant, and calamari which were all delicious then I got the ravioli al pomodoro which was good. For dessert we had lava cake with icecream which was rich chocolate and tasted amazing. Definitely a high end restaurant and would recommend for any date night or family night.

I've been here three times and every time was amazing. Ambiance is awesome the service is excellent,and top-notch food! I travel kind of often and when I do I try every cities Italian restaurants and this restaurant is right up there. Try the mozzarella sticks. I know you're thinking "Oh the local yokol says try the mozzarella sticks, what a surprise." but no believe me they will change your view on mozzarella sticks!

I have to agree that some of the more pessimistic reviews are accurate to our dinner experience. It was super busy, which was a good sign. The rolls/bread are excellent. The pesto oil was very good. Marinara was tasty. Calamari was fresh but lacked any real flavor. Chicken Marsala was pretty weak. Chicken literally wasn’t even salt/pepper seasoned; Mushrooms were not fresh. Carbonara pasta was tasty. Crème brûlée was kind of a let down, not bad, but not good. Service was attentive and pleasant.

I just returned to La Stalla after many years, and it was very good! I was sat immediately for my reservation time. The entrees are sizable and flavorful. Service attentive. I ordered bowtie pasta with shrimp, it was filling! The star of the show was my husband's rigatoni carbonara. I would absolutely order that next time. He also ordered a limoncello martini and it was so beautifully presented. Meatballs were average. On the small side and very dense. This didn't bother me because I was catching up with friends, but it should be known that food is slow to come out and it's very crowded and loud in the restaurant.

A Santa Margarita Pinot Grigio wine pairing 4 course dinner. A pic of the menu is below. Ambiance is traditional Italian bar. Started with salmon, scallops and tuna, raw, in citrus and olive oil. Excellent paired with the Pinot Grigio. Next was a pasta dish laden with shelled seafood. Also very good. Third was the Osso Buco wonderful. Way too much food for a pairing but my wife said no - it is not a tasting but a pairing. We had many leftovers. Ok with us. Last was Zeppoles and cream, which was iced milk. Very good. I have not had a Zeppole in many years forgot how good they can be. The wines were well selected and a standout was the Masi Campofiorin Rosso, a Valpolicella a/k/a a baby Amarone. Service was top notch. Pours were generous. We have been here before and will certainly be back. Mark & Nancy.

La Stalla has good food and a great atmosphere for a date night or dinner with friends. We arrived around 6:30pm on a Friday night, and we snagged two seats at the bar. There was a wait for a table, and within a few minutes, the place was packed. I'd recommend getting there early or making a reservation. The bar service was great, and the dirty martini was made perfectly. My husband and I both enjoyed our pasta dishes. We'll be back again soon!

I've been here twice and the service has been great. First time was with a large party for my fiancé's birthday and second time went to the outdoor bar for happy hour. Make a reservation for a large party. The outdoor bar is great for grabbing drinks and appetizers on a nice day. Pepe & petali was refreshing. My favorite appetizer was the meatballs and riccotta. When I came for dinner I had the veal parm which was delicious.

So we went to the restaurant on sat 11/01/25, our food was delicious but however our service was not great at all then we get home and our pasta was missing from my leftovers, she didn't check on us that much and we were a table of two spent almost $150.00 Hopefully I have better service next time also our waitress was Tricia she needs to pay better attention to her tables but however it was very busy on a Saturday night

Delicious dip for your bread at your table. Insanely delicious!!!! Service is topnotch. Magnificent! The ambiance is adorable, relaxing, rustic italiano a la bucks County Stonehouse ! You can sit in the inside or outside both are very, very nice . We both really enjoyed our dishes! Eggplant rollatini, Black Truffle Sacchetti , veal parm! (We didn't have dessert because we were full!) I'd love to come back!

Holy busssssssssss outside area cute and there are hanging grapes which is a tasty appetizer but seedy tbh- chicken Marsala so fire and fab portion size- will be eating prob when I get home bc it's just that good

La Stalla is a great local Italian restaurant that has the right balance of food drinks and ambiance Be prepared to be cozy and enjoy the food and drinks

My first time there for dinner with my fantastic wife The service that we got was great! It really didn't matter who was your servicer everybody there will help you out if you need anything. Our server Chris was excellent he took his time to go over the specials and made sure we were ok ! I'm originally from Staten Island so I pretty much know Italian food and that food was great!!! Thanks for everything we will be back !! I am a veal guy

La Stalla was a total joy!! My family and I went on a Friday night, the place was buzzing with great energy! It was a beautiful spring night so we got to enjoy some of their outdoor seating, the food was amazing, but the real highlight was the service! Our waiter and his supporting cast were excellent, and we were graced by Dominico's voice! He came over and sang my brother happy birthday in a "opra" esque manner and it was AMAZING! The staff was joking around with us the whole time all while being fast and friendly, truly felt like we were part of the family! Would definetly go back for the food, drinks, and great staff!!!

Good food, try the Chicken Franchese ! Lots of customers ! DO NOT TAKE RITA'S Parking SPOTS!

decided to try La Stalla today for lunch because we have always heard that it's a great spot. Maybe it was a bad day or things have been a decline, but it was atrocious. The front glass doors were filthy, so that was the first impression. My daughter ordered a simple Caesar salad and I ordered a pasta Bolognese with ricotta.. Her salad had zero flavor which is odd for a Caesar, and my pasta was absolutely ridiculous, sauce that tasted like plain tomato sauce out of a can, and the ricotta still had the shape of the container that it was plopped out of. The food tasted like it came from a lousy diner. I will say on the plus side our waitress was very very kind. It's a pretty restaurant, in a good spot, and I knew they were good at one point, but they really need to get back to serving quality food.

I have always loved Stalla, it's always my go to. So we decided to go there for a special occasion. With that being said, service was a 7/10 the waitress did not even intend on reading the specials until I asked for them, and I usually always order the specials. Once my cowboy stake came out, I asked for Medium, Medium well... needless to say, the stake was well done and very dry, the only thing that made it not dry was the sauce. The steak that my date ordered from the regular menu was x10 better than the special cowboy steak. I've had plenty of amazing experiences here but this time was not one of them. I would still go back, though. Hopefully next time the service and food is better.

Owner gave me an irrational response after questioning a wine pour. While leaving the restaurant Marc followed me out and that his staff, didn't want me there and , nobody respected me. "You're banned " I called Vince Masso and he said that he would speak with Marc. Since then they have both said that I said things that I didn't say. I don't care but I would rather go elsewhere and NOT LaStalla.

I've been hearing so many great things about this restaurant and I finally got the chance to come here to celebrate a birthday and I gotta tell you, this place did not disappoint! We had a reservation and right when we got in, we were seated immediately. The restaurant is so nicely decorated and has a nice Italian culture type vibe to it. For starters, we ordered the calamari and for main courses, we ordered the fish special, chicken parm, penne alla vodka and a carbonara pasta and they were all so delicious. Each plate, they give you so much food. And also! Their bread is amazing with the olive oil that they have. Our server, Greg, was so nice and attentive, he provided us with such great service. One of the best servers I've had. I will definitely be back to this spot!

Food and service were excellent! Only issue was the bus boy threw away our leftovers by accident even though we asked for a box...

Sat at the bar and ordered two pasta dishes and a side of sausage (three links) and dessert. Had two cocktails followed by a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc from France. The bartender and bar back were on their game by always being available to ensure we had anything we needed but at the same time without being too intrusive. The food was very good and the portion was adequate though perhaps a bit small (or the price too high) given a $20 plus price tag for a pasta dish without protein. Also, beware for those patrons that prefer to sit at the bar. The bar is undersized for the restaurant. The bar has a total of 14 stools which may seem sufficient but not given the size of the restaurant and pressure the bar takes when on a wait.

We haven't been here in years and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. We went for a very early dinner on a Wednesday night and it was already about 1/4 full. It's a big place, with both indoor and outdoor dining. By the time we left there weren't many tables available and because of that, the crowd noise was fairly high. There were 4 of us but I'll only describe the meals that the 2 of us had, although the other couple really enjoyed what the were served. We shared the single-serve size of the Vongole E Rapini, Middle-neck clams sautéed with broccoli rabe & mild Italian sausage, tossed in a white wine garlic sauce. It was good but could have used a little more seasoning in the broth to give it a nicer kick. The Chicken Saltimbocca over Angel hair (a $5 up charge) brought 2 nicely seasoned chicken breasts topped with spinach, prosciutto, sage & fontina cheese in a sherry wine sauce. It was both very good as well as substantial. The Lobster Ravioli was good to very good but again I thought it needed a little more seasoning. We shared a very nice pistachio Gelato for dessert. With 2 beers, before tip, the bill came to around $125 per couple. Will definitely return.

Visited from put of town and was very pleased with the service, food and ambiance! It was beautiful and very family friendly for a family of 2 small children. Staff were all very nice and welcoming! The food was delicious and came in a timely manner.

Amazing food. Really nice people. We go here each year for our anniversary. Beautiful spot.

I was a little disappointed with our food this time. I've been here before and it was better. We got the Caesar salad (not good), calamari (good but a little chewy) and risotto balls (these were good but could have used more flavor) for apps. For my entree I got the sachetti pasta and whole dish really lacked flavor, the pasta itself was good and cooked well tho. I'd say the best thing on the table was the chicken parm and tiramisu dessert. Espresso martinis were also delicious. Service started out strong but after ordering it took forever to get anything else that we debating just not even staying for dessert. Very crowded and loud as well.

Enjoyed Mother's Day dinner at this lively restaurant in Newtown. Everyone in our party enjoyed their dishes and drinks, and our waitress was good. Everything tasted fresh and was cooked well. A few small hiccups: a member of our party was initially served the wrong drink - one ordered by another table; staff member never came back after offering to bring over complimentary Mother's Day flowers that other guests received upon being seated; staff member reaching over drinks to collect used plates. Nothing major that would prevent us from returning to enjoy the food and drinks. I loved that even though seated inside, we could see the outside/patio area, with its heat lamps, that will surely be filled as spring and summer temperatures return. A nice place to dress up a little and enjoy a delicious meal.

La Stalla as always does not disappoint. Last night we had the pleasure to revisit one of the most gorgeous restaurants out there. It's truly impressive how stunning it is regardless if you sit outside or inside. The ambiance is always lovely. We also had an amazing waiter and even met the restaurant's owner yesterday who was also so pleasant to meet! All of their staff is always super nice. But the highlight of our night was trying for the first time the whipped ricotta for 2. OMG, think about one of the best things ever. It was absolutely amazing. We also ordered a rigatoni carbonara to share which was absolutely delicious, as well as a New York Strip which was also very good. We had such an amazing night in the company of our friends who were trying La Stalla for the first time and fell in love with everything about the restaurant. Always one of my favorite places to recommend!

The cutest restaurant with adorable lights and decor. The classical stone and open arch ways, I feel like i'm micro-dosing a European Vacation. My party and I ordered food from land to sea and each one was a home run!! No bad dinners here! Our server, Elise, was the sweetest lady and fulfilled the MANY accommodations one member of my party required. She was so knowledgeable and took her time answering everyone's questions. Also there was a jaw dropping opera performance for birthdays. Such a fun tradition! Definitely on top of my must come back list!

I can only assume this place is so popular because of the lack of decent Italian food in Bucks County. While the food here is good, it's definitely overpriced for what you get. The chicken parmigiana didn't come with any sides and no bread was served. To spend over $25 for an entree and not get bread or pasta sides is a bit ridiculous.

Even with a reservation, seating was incredibly slow. Waitress was completely unavailable. We saw her once or twice and that was it. I ordered Angel hair pasta with pesto and got first spaghetti with pesto soup then when they finally got the order right, which was about another 45 minutes later, it was inedible. It is fortunate that capital Grille has opened up down the street because there I can actually count on quality. The best days for this restaurant a long, long gone.

I have been here a few times, some for dinner others for graduation parties on the patio. Honestly, don't think this place is anything special. Food is tasty, I prefer the pasta dishes. Chicken always seems to be dry. Friendly servers and a nice atmosphere, service can be slow if it is a busy night. I went with my parents and family friends in January, ate on the covered patio and the music was so loud we couldn't hear each other. Not opposed to going back, just not my first choice.

Outstanding !!!! Made reservations for 21 people for a family style dinner. The food just kept coming out, and every dish was amazing, Kyle our table host was awesome, polite easy going and took good care of like we were family. Just wanted to say thank you Marc for a great evening.

Snooty staff!!! Very poorly executed menu and extreme overcrowding that lead to severe discomfort and one of my colleagues to have a panic attack!!! Eat somewhere else

Such a wonderful lunch with a large group of ladies...the service, food, ambiance and overall vibe was excellent. I was very impressed. Everyone in our group enjoyed and they can be picky. My salmon was delicious. Tiramisu was one of the best I have had. It is a large restaurant. Not sure there is a bad seat in the place. Each room is very nice. In the warmer months there is a large outdoor dining area. I look forward to lots of return visits.

Highly Recommend Great food Fantastic Service - Cullen was our Waiter Beautiful Surroundings

By-and-large a nice place to go. Most food items are fairly good (high priced for what they are, though). The biggest disappointment is their meatballs. They are like rocks. This is so surprising considering it's an Italian place. Other than that, the interior bar only has about 12 seats, and the exterior bar is an electrocution hazard as there are stripped wires all over the place.

The food was excellent! Loved the Lemoncello spritz. We ate inside and it was pretty noisey.

La Stalla has been one our go-to spots for family dining for years. We came on a weeknight and had no problem getting seated quickly. We sat out on the screened in outdoor seating, which isn't quite as nice as the indoor part, but it was still comfortable. Service was good, and the food was outstanding as usual. They offer good wine list, and a decent selection beer. Great spot for good, authentic Italian food for families or dates!

The service was awesome, and the food was perfect. Just went with a party of 9 and we all enjoyed ourselves. Lido was our server and he couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend asking for Lido to serve you and also just checking out this beautiful spot in Newtown!

Excellent! Large restaurant with very nice outdoor spaces. Was able to accommodate our group of 9 with ease. Excellent Italian food and extensive wine List. Pork chop in cherry pepper sauce was awesome! Will return!

My wife and I recently had a dinner and an event here and came away happy and impressed with our choice. The staff was awesome to deal with, the girls who helped us plan our event were on top of everything and the day of there was no confusion or setbacks. The room itself was somewhat private and all of our guests really liked the overall ambiance of the restaurant. The evening we booked the event we stayed for dinner and although I wasn't blown away by the food the overall experience was very good. I had a Chicken fra diavolo which was decent, but lacked a peppery kick. My wife felt a little underwhelmed about her dish. The service was great and the cannoli's we brought home to our family were excellent. For the event we had four simple courses ... Caesar Salad was delicious, Apps - Fried Calamari along with fried breaded Mozzarella were devoured, Pasta - Penne Vodka and finally Entree - Salmon filet with bread crumbs cooked in white wine and lemon caper broth. Everyone enjoyed each dish and the staff was so helpful and quick. We finished with desserts and coffee and were not rushed out the door. They even packed up the leftovers for us to take home. The price was per plate was very fair and so were the wine prices. I would definitely have another event here in the future and will recommend it to others! Thanks guys!

This place was okay. For the price it honestly could have been better. We came here to celebrate a birthday. There was five of us. I ordered the veal parm. It was actually pretty good, but the noodles and the sauce were bland. My boyfriend ordered the chicken Marsala, he was disappointed with his portion size and his noodles were also very bland. The other three people enjoyed their meals for the most part. The deserts were yummy, but I was really hoping for more from this place. beautiful outdoor seating.

Came to La Stalla for a birthday dinner. It was nothing short of a fantastic meal! We had reservations but they were clearly busy, bordering on chaotic. Yet our server was chill as a cucumber, attentive, and on point as we asked him questions. We were a hungry table of 4 so we did our own 'family style' (not their official family style menu - just ordering individual portions of everything and sharing them). I am thrilled to say the portions 'for one' are extremely generous - you get both quality and quantity here, which I find to be an increasingly rare treat! Here is what we ordered, as well as what I especially *recommend. Everything ordered was the 'for one' portion (except for the salad, which was 'for two'): BRUSCHETTA CAPRESE (4 pieces) - Crisp but not overly crunchy, this was a nice and bright starter. It was tasty, with a bite of fresh mozzarella atop each of the pieces. (That said, the house bread they serve is REALLY good - so next time we might order something in place of this.) *EGGPLANT ROLLATINI (2 large pieces) - This was a last minute add to our order, in lieu of tacking on another pasta entree. And what an add it was! Did not disappoint. The prosciutto added a nice saltiness that balanced well with the ricotta, and the eggplant was of course perfectly cooked - and well sliced, too, so that it didn't get lost in the ricotta (which I find often happens with this dish). The sauce was great, too, and this was a favorite of the table. ORANGE SICILIANA SALAD ('for two' - definitely could have ordered 'for one,' though) - Light and refreshing. Definitely get a bite of orange with your forkful of spring greens! This was a pretty simple salad, but I'm glad we got it, as it was a nice balance to the heavier/creamier dishes we ordered. *RIGATONI CARBONARA - Oh, this was a contender for my favorite dish. I'm normally a sucker for tradition and while they use bacon instead of pancetta...holy cow, I would eat this any day of the week. The sauce was incredibly flavorful and clung so perfectly to every bite of rigatoni. The onions were caramelized to perfection, and each ingredient was just singing as you ate it. I guess I'll throw my traditionalist preconceptions out the window: This might be the best carbonara I've ever ordered. *BLACK TRUFFLE SACCHETTI - These are basically fresh pasta purses of ricotta - but there's nothing basic about them! I actually couldn't tell you if the black truffle shavings were inside the sacchetti or in the sauce: the sacchetti were so creamy inside, and the butter/almond sage sauce was just divine, and everything was cooked to perfection. We were debating between this or the mushroom risotto - maybe someday I'll try the risotto, but I don't think there's a chance we come back and DON'T order this for the table! FETTUCINE BOLOGNESE - They are very flexible about mixing and matching pastas, so we were quite happy to get a nice, twirlable pasta with their bolognese to balance all the white sauces we had across our other shared entrees. This was good, and definitely great to have a red sauce for balance, but not a dish I'd go out of my way to return for (it may have just been outshone by the other pasta entrees we ordered). We also ordered one of the bombas for dessert: strawberry, chocolate, and pistachio gelato covered in a chocolate shell and topped with drizzled chocolate and whipped cream. It was a great finish to the meal (though it was a little different than advertised - it tasted more like ice cream than gelato and had a dark chocolate shell instead of white chocolate - all good though). We also got the straight pistachio gelato which was flavorful, and I also ordered the strawberry margarita, which was ABSOLUTELY delicious - highly recommend it! My only complaint is the noise level in the restaurant. It's a beautiful ambiance - warm stonework in the main dining space, and nice open architecture - but it is SO LOUD as a result of all the hard surfaces. There was a lot of repeated conversation at our table just because it was difficult to hear with the ambient noise. Next time we might try to request a table on the side section of the restaurant - perhaps the sound will be better there? You can guarantee we'll be back, though!!!

It was very busy when we went, the server was attentive. The food was very good and big portions which is great for left overs! I thought it was an intimate and cute place

Went there for my nieces birthday last week, service was great, food was good. My penne in a Vodka sauce could have been more creamier. It was a tad dry. The table shared, eggplant (awesome) asparagus (perfectly cooked) chicken parm was the best I had in a while. The red sauce was spot on. A little pricey but so worth it for the experience

The best Italian restaurant in the town. Great service, the food is great and their tiramisu is amazing!

If I was just rating the food I would give them 4 stars. However the service we have had on multiple occasions has been pitiful. Due to the service we have stopped dining a while ago. The servers seemed to be bothered with having to wait on us since we are not "regulars". Our money is as green as everyone else's and from now on we will spend it at another Italian place in Newtown with good service. Bottom line if you want good Italian food and service that is not rude. Go somewhere else!

Came here with my company for a work dinner tonight. No issue with parking, I parked behind the building facing mattress firm and the rest of the shops along the mall. This restaurant is deceptively large, so many tables and they accommodated our party of 12 with no issues. We had a couple appetizers, the meatball with ricotta and sauce, a charcuterie board, and fresh baked bread. The bread was spectacular! Just crispy on the outside and warm and fluffy on the inside. The tables had Italian seasoning on the tables ready for the olive oil to dip. These meals can get quite large so I went with an order of the lobster ravioli. Came with 4-5 shrimp and also a pink sauce and some roasted peppers. The bread made a comeback as I was eating my ravioli so I could enjoy the sauce even more. They have a larger dessert menu but our group passed. The management of our company clearly knows the management here, they were greeted warmly and our server and service was excellent all evening. Sometimes with these groups the servers can get overwhelmed with entrees and so many drink orders. They killed it tonight. Family style eating is also available as every plate is offered for one or for two. Eating here with friends could be very fun, but I imagine it could get loud- that's part of the deal when you're out though! Worth a chance, I'll be back!

We came in for a friend's birthday celebration. Big party and they were very accommodating. Food was delicious as usual.

The food was great and the sandwiches were on point. I ordered take out and the pasta was great.

Pretty basic. Not incredibly amazing for the prices. I don't like the ala carte feature. I ordered takeout, I got a simple chicken Milanese dish. The chicken is dry and over cooked so it's very hard to cut through. Mehh! The bruschetta container was broke open so it leaked some in the bag everywhere.. but What's Italian food without bread? No bread? Sad. There are a good amount of mussels here. The mussels not bad they are okay but this is not as good as I guess I expected from all the reviews. Wasn't bad, but honestly it could be better, it really wasn't that good. Eh.

Great tasting food and cocktails with a variety of menu options. Staff was friendly and quick with service. Ample indoor and outdoor seating but not enough parking

We had reservations to celebrate my birthday early in December. When we arrived, there were teenage girls running all over and loud dj music blaring. When we checked in, we found out there was a 13 year old's birthday taking place in the main dining room for the first 30 minutes of our reservation. Instead of having an enjoyable dinner, we could barely hear each other over the music and DJ's announcements. When we attempted to use the bathroom, we had to wade through the aftermath of the party...blocked walkways, streamers, and confetti all over. If La Stalla is hosting an over the top party, they should not take reservations during that time. It really ruined the evening.
