My husband and I dined at La Vecchia and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our server, Alison was very attentive. The food was delicious. My husband had the grilled calamari for appetizer and the orange roughy special for dinner. He really enjoyed both and even had leftovers of his entree. I had the breaded jersey tomato appetizer and the pasta bolognese. Again , both were delicious and I had leftovers of the pasta.
Wonderful food....wonderful service .....even wonderful in wrapping up the leftovers for home
All in all, the evening was delightful. Food was excellent, but the service was lacking somewhat. It seemed they only had two waiters on hand and the restaurant was full to capacity, so the attentiveness was not there. Our waiter never returned to see how our food was after delivering it. I also don't like when they begin to clear off plates while people are still eating Let alone bring over plastic containers for leftovers while people are still eating.  would probably return..
Lindsay is the best waitress ever. We had a wonderful time with her!!!! Personable clear honest and uh very informative!!! Dinner was it's truly delicious.If my only comment would be.I wish there was sides offered with the main course.Something small like a side of pasta potatoes or a veggie would make this my favorite restaurant!
We were seated on time. Had a good table. Service prompt. Food delicious. We weren't rushed. Everyone pleasant. We'll be back!
Excellent dinner experience. Food was excellent. Service very attentive. The restaurant is small so tables are close together and noise level is high. Highly recommend though.
Convenient for us because we could walk. We were seated promptly, but server was busy with other tables for the first 5 min. Once the server reached us, everything was top notch. Server was very attentive and the food was delicious.
Older crowd, but also families with young children. Restaurant is small and feels overcrowded. My red sauce had too much sugar in it, but otherwise meal was pretty good. The pasta was good quality I thought. Waitress was very nice.
The wheel trap special was excellent. The octopus appetizer is excellent. The fillet a soul whole fish was not as we expected. We got an appetizer of baked oysters. They were very expensive and we only got three. Not too happy.
Food was delicious,go early as noise increases as time goes on, Lindsey was great as was Luca on another night. We were not rushed! Tables close as room is small. Overall a nice dinner.

This is a great place to eat. All of our meals were very good and I would recommend to anyone I know traveling to Avalon.
We always have a delicious dinner at La Vecchia.It's an intimate setting that we love. We had the halibut special last night, and my husband had the veal Francese. Both were yummy.
Had another wonderful meal at La Vecchia Fontana. Wife ordered the Branzino and I had the short rib / pasta special. The short rib paired perfectly with the wine that I brought with me. Love the BYOB!
Always an excellent meal. Had the halibut special and the Chicken La Fontana, caesar dressing, and tiramisu.
Luca and Al e son are great waiters and waitress. They were right there with anything we needed.
