La Stalla

Nestled in the charming town of Newtown, PA, La Stalla stands out as a refined Italian restaurant where traditional flavors meet contemporary flair. From the moment you step through its doors at 18 Swamp Rd, you are greeted with a rustic yet elegant ambiance that invites you to savor every bite. Whether dining inside the cozy, classically adorned space or enjoying the scenic outdoor seating beneath a pergola, La Stalla delivers an authentic Italian experience that delights all your senses.

The heart of La Stalla is undoubtedly its thoughtfully curated menu, featuring standout dishes that have become favorites among locals and visitors alike. The Lobster Ravioli melts on the tongue, showcasing a perfect blend of sweet lobster enveloped in delicate pasta, while the Black Truffle Sacchetti offers an earthy, aromatic punch with tiny pasta purses stuffed with ricotta and black truffle mushrooms, all bathed in a roasted almond and sage butter sauce that lingers on your palate. Fans of hearty classics will revel in the Chicken Parmigiana and the Veal Milanese, which arrive breaded, pan-fried to golden perfection, and paired with fresh arugula and vibrant tomato bruschetta.

Appetizers such as the Bruschetta Caprese—featuring crostini bread topped with luscious mozzarella and fresh chopped tomatoes—and the indulgent Whipped Ricotta with truffle honey and pistachios, set the stage beautifully for the courses to come. For those seeking the sea’s best, the Branzino and Risotto Con Gamberi (sautéed shrimp with asparagus and a hint of lemon zest) provide a light but deeply satisfying option.

The dessert offerings are no afterthought here; the Tiramisu and Cannoli are fantastic finales, each bite offering a sweet, creamy, and decadently smooth culmination to your meal. Pair your edible journey with a crafted cocktail, an Irish Coffee, or a zesty Limoncello Flute, and you’ve got the perfect balance of flavor and ambiance.
