Fellini Cafe Newtown Square

“Today I had an event for my son’s first holy communion at Fellini. The staff was very accommodating and attentive. The food was fantastic and the venue was beautiful. Can’t wait to host at Fellini again in the future! Thank you Manny for helping me coordinate the event!”

“Me and the wife first time, we love this place, we needed a little place to BYOB and good food, will put on our regular visited list of good eats”

“Pasta is soo good! I got the gnocchi burrata and it was to die for! It came with tonnnns of burrata too! And a good heavy portion size. I had leftovers. We got free bread and a refill and loved the olive oil! It was really high quality flavor. My friend also loved her linguini clam. We were seated right away and served quickly! The only thing I want to call out to the business is the lighting …. It is so so bright inside. We came at night and the place was lit up like a summers day. Why? It was super unwelcoming and almost awkward. It felt like I was in a doctors office literally. A very cool bright light. I suggest dimming them and toning down the lighting to give a warm cozy ambiance.”

“If you haven't been to this location, you are truly missing out! Fellini Newtown Square (formerly called Fellini Cafe) is my all-time favorite Italian restaurant! They're a family-owned business that takes great pride in their food and providing exceptional service. I've been dining here for 20 years, but unfortunately, I moved to NC in 2013, so the opportunities to get back have grown few and far between. My brother and I were in the area last December, and they had just completed a renovation of the entire place—so cool to see after it being so long since we visited. The food was exactly as we remembered: fresh, delicious, and high quality! The dressing on their salad is something I've tried to duplicate at home, but it just never hits the mark—so, I'm convinced they're using magic. :-) Fresh bread? It's like NOTHING in NC—unfortunately for me, I'm not kidding. Anyway, they offer a very robust menu with many Italian classics and their own specialties. They've never turned down modifications on dishes—literally, I've never had anything bad here. My mom ordered eggplant parm one time, and I don't even like eggplant—but I liked this one. Calamari, salad, soup, pastas, pizza, desserts... they have something for everyone. Almost forgot—they're also BYOB, so bring your favorite bottle for everyone in your party and enjoy! The venue is small and may have slightly more seating capacity after their renovation, but we almost always made reservations before moving—whether it be lunch or dinner. They also accept large party reservations with advance notice. Their parking is very limited, with more signs than ever dictating "customer parking only" for various businesses. If you’re going during peak hours, be prepared to wait for a spot in the front lot. You can also buy alcohol past the bank and Verizon store at Newtown Suds (to stash in your trunk) and then walk down, or park across the (small) highway in the ACME shopping center for free. In summation… just gather your favorite people, bring some wine, and enjoy this spot!”

“Ordered the Veal Piccata — it was absolutely disgusting and one of the worst meals I’ve had in a while. The meat was gray, slimy, and tasted rancid. It looked and tasted as if it had been boiled in water, with zero sear or texture. When I sent it back, the manager came over and immediately got defensive, insisting he’d been cooking the dish for 20 years. He didn’t even bother to look at the plate before dismissing my concern and saying, “That’s how it’s done.” An embarrassing excuse for a piccata. 1/10 for service — the manager was rude and didn’t even comp the dish — and 0/10 for the food Never coming back or recommending this spot.”
