Acqua e Farina
Family-run Neapolitan pizzeria on Richboro Road, working an oven imported straight from Naples. The pies are the specialty, but the menu runs on through antipasti, pasta, and wood-fired entrees.

Where we'd send you first
- Cafe Con Leche
Scratch-cooked Latin food out of a State Street basement since 1997, with a menu the kitchen rewrites every single day.
- The Temperance House
Pouring since 1772, except for the 1840s stretch of nothing alcoholic that earned it the name — the bar runs 33 taps now, so consider that settled.
- Isaac Newton's Bar & Restaurant
Twenty-two taps, fourteen in constant rotation, and some 150 bottles inside a State Street building older than the country.
- Duck Sauce
Old-school Chinese-American with a Eurasian streak: prawns in walnut sauce, chicken lettuce wraps, and the boneless spare ribs people reorder on autopilot.
- Triple Sun Spirits Co. - Newtown
A second-floor cocktail room where the bourbon, rye, and dark rum in your glass were distilled by the house.
- Pat's Colonial Kitchen
Breakfast and lunch in the historic Whitehall Building since 1988, with homemade jam on every table and cannoli pancakes on the menu.
- State Street Kitchen
Micha Kearney has run this daytime counter for more than 20 years, putting cheesesteaks and hoagies on the same menu as Korean cooking.
- Lovey Poke & Tea House
Build-your-own poke bowls and a bubble tea list that runs past 100 combinations, with the family working the counter themselves.

Árdana Food & Drink
Mediterranean plates from the family behind KC Prime Steakhouse. The first Friday of every month brings live music, 6 to 9.
Blue Point Grill
Seafood restaurant and raw bar from the Princeton crew behind Nassau Street Seafood, the fish market they've run since 1982 — the menu changes daily to match what came in. The raw bar rotates 10 to 15 oyster varieties from both coasts, which settles the ordering question.
Cafe Con Leche
Latin-inspired scratch cooking out of a State Street basement since 1997, with a kitchen that writes a new menu every day. Vegan crab cakes and a cashew cream-cheese steak share the board with real fajitas and burgers, so a mixed table actually works here.
The Caketeria
Custom cake shop that's been handling Newtown weddings and birthday orders since 2010, back when it went by Felix's Caketeria. The cannoli cream cake is the one to ask for, and the vegan cupcakes aren't an afterthought.
Duck Sauce
Old-school Chinese-American on State Street with a Eurasian streak: prawns in walnut sauce, chicken lettuce wraps, and boneless spare ribs people reorder on autopilot. It's BYOB, so grab a bottle nearby and settle in.
Green Parrot Restaurant Pub & Patio
A Sycamore Street pub styled after the original Green Parrot Inn, a Newtown tavern of the early 1900s, with 19 TVs on the pub side. The bar stays open after the kitchen closes, which tells you the house priorities.
Greenstraw Cafe
Açaí bowls piled with fresh fruit, granola, and drizzles, plus smoothies blended with fruit and plant milks. Everything is build-your-own if the set menu doesn't suit.
The Grey Stone Fine Food & Spirits
Opened in 2017 by Washington Crossing native Brandon Smith in the refurbished property once known as Lavender Hall. Chef Robert McNally's menu turns over every season, and the bar runs twenty-four rotating craft taps.
Jake's Eatery Newtown
The Richboro family diner added a Newtown location in 2011, with an eclectic menu and doors open at 7 a.m. seven days a week. This room is BYOB.
Kenny's Meals
Kenny Garcia opened this ready-to-eat meal shop on State Street in June 2026, after kidney failure at 25 sent him deep into whole-food cooking. The fridges hold 35-plus chef-made bowls at $9.25 each — hibachi steak, bourbon chicken, jerk chicken — to heat at home, with delivery inside a five-mile radius.
Love & Honey Fried Chicken
The Northern Liberties fried-chicken shop's first Bucks County outpost, hand-dredging its buttermilk chicken and frying it in small batches. Scratch-made sauces, Southern-inspired sides, open daily until 9.
Lovebird
Fried chicken from the owners of Jules Thin Crust: made-to-order sandwiches, salads, and quinoa bowls, with gluten-free options getting equal billing. The Sycamore Street counter is the Newtown branch of a four-shop local family.
Lovey Poke & Tea House
Build-your-own poke bowls and a bubble tea list that runs past 100 combinations, from a family that works the counter on South State Street. The Taiwanese snacks are the sleeper order — get the popcorn chicken and dumplings alongside your milk tea.
Lucatelli's Newtown
The Newtown half of Lucatelli's two-shop pizzeria (Doylestown has the other), with Grandma burrata pies and pepperoni stromboli on the board. Dessert scales to a thirty-count tray of mini cannoli when the occasion demands it.
Mamie Colette
Chef Magali laminates her croissant dough over three days, a habit she picked up baking in France and the Netherlands before landing on South State Street. It's named for the grandmother who taught her, it's grab-and-go, and the danishes disappear early on weekends.
Melange on Sycamore
Louisiana cooking meets Italian in the former Sycamore Grill space, open since April 2026 with Executive Chef Joe Brown running the kitchen. Live music lands on the calendar — jazz trios included.
MV Tandoor
Traditional Indian cooking on Cambridge Lane, and it's BYOB — bring a bottle and let the tandoor do the rest.
Naked Chocolate
Family-run chocolate shop on S Eagle Road where the cacao is direct-traded from small equatorial family farms. On Fridays, Curiosity Doughnuts takes over the case.
Newtown Bagel Company
Baking NY-style bagels on Swamp Road since 2001, and the shop's own pick for top seller is the bacon-egg-and-cheese. Open seven days but only until 2 — this is a morning operation.
Newtown Ice House
Handcrafted water ice and frozen custard from a warm-months-only stand, with a flavor board that swings from Butterbeer to Dubai Chocolate to Cookie Monster. Same crew runs the Yardley shop, and both reopen each spring, so the July list is gone by January.
Nina's Waffles & Ice Cream
The Village at Newtown branch of the New Hope waffle-and-ice-cream shop, churning its ice cream from local dairy with less sugar and no corn syrup. The move is a warm waffle under a scoop.
Owowcow Creamery
Ice cream hand-crafted from scratch daily since 2009: they pasteurize their own base with local organic cream and roast the fruit themselves. Even the signature popsicles get dipped by hand.
Pat's Colonial Kitchen
A breakfast-and-lunch room running since 1988 out of the historic Whitehall Building, with homemade jam on every table and cannoli pancakes on the menu. The kitchen closes at 2pm, so get there for the apple-cheese-and-sausage omelet before it does.
Piccolo Trattoria
Scratch-made Italian in the Newtown Shopping Center, part of a small family-run group with a sister location in Doylestown. The dining room and patio grew in 2024, and the Newtown spot now has a full bar.
Santina's Pastry Shop by Nino
Nino was born and raised in Palermo and worked bakeries in Philadelphia, New York, and Trenton before opening this pastry shop on South Eagle Road in 2024. Cannoli get filled to order; the Danish walnut ring is a best seller for a reason.
State Street Kitchen
A daytime counter on South State where the cheesesteaks and hoagies share a menu with Korean cooking, run by Micha Kearney for more than 20 years. The kitchen shuts by mid-afternoon, so it's a breakfast-and-lunch stop, not a dinner plan.
The Temperance House
Andrew McMinn opened this tavern in 1772, and it spent the 1840s pouring nothing alcoholic, which is how it landed the name; the bar now runs 33 taps. The scratch kitchen leans Latin and European under colonial fireplaces where folk painter Edward Hicks once turned up.
Vecchia Osteria
Pasquale's family has run this Italian BYOB since 2009, cooking from recipes handed down through the generations. The house motto — a tavola non si invecchia, you don't grow old at the table — is fair warning about how long dinner will run.
Vince's Pizzeria & Taproom
A pizzeria built around what they bill as Bucks County's first self-serve tap wall: you pour your own beer, cider, or wine. Order the PAG — pear, gorgonzola, fresh arugula, white truffle oil.
Zebra Striped Whale
The signature is the Whirlwind: ice cream hand-mixed with your toppings at the counter until it's one swirl. Family-run on State Street since 2004, named after a children's book the founder wrote and illustrated herself.
