The Best Restaurant in Brandywine Valley, Pennsylvania

Background Illustration for Restaurants

It seems that most restaurants in both the Brandywine Valley and Bucks County serve American cuisine, with creative contemporary touches at the better establishments. You'll find both sophisticated restaurants and casual country spots. Most also present local specialties—fresh seafood from Chesapeake Bay and dishes made with Kennett Square mushrooms. As an added pleasure, some of the region's best restaurants are in restored Colonial and Victorian homes.

Antica Restaurant & Wine Bar

$$$

At this locally popular spot, some stone and brick walls, barn doors, plenty of dark wood tables, and a bar area establish a comfortable, casual atmosphere for enjoying tasty handmade pastas and other Italian dishes. Wine choices aren't extensive, but the food menus are lengthy, with lunch options including pastas and sandwiches such as a chicken parmigiana sandwich, and dinner choices like veal saltimboca and crab and lobster ravioli. Among the numerous appetizers offered at lunch and dinner are grilled octopus and tuna crudo. Antica is right on Baltimore Pike, next to Brandywine Prime, a steakhouse. It's easy to miss; if you go past Creek Road, you've gone too far.
