Classic, simple and seasonal

Vela appeared on the Doylestown restaurant radar very, very quietly. You might even say, under the radar. Chef-owner Donna Ewanciw wanted to make sure that she and her team were ready to provide the quality of food and the dining experience to meet her standards. But after a soft opening last Fall, the word is out. Vela (pron. vay-la) is Italian for “sail.” And sail into Doylestown it has.

I sat down with Donna to talk about Vela. She shared her thoughts on food, values and tradition. Here's an excerpt from the article on BucksCountyTaste.com.

The food: "Our dishes are crafted with tradition, with an Italian accent, but with a lightness to it. I want the food prepared simply so that you can taste the main components of the dish. Each dish is no more than five ingredients with a strong focus on seasonal vegetables. I’m committed to doing what’s right by the food."

The values: "Traditions, family, hospitality, consistency, culture. We grew up with the tradition of being around the table with family. It’s important to find that time to sit and enjoy with friends, family." 

Join us for a warm, relaxed and delicious evening at Vela on Sunday, April 28. See the menu below. Let us know of any dietary restrictions. Vela also has a great wine and cocktail selection from their bar. [NOT byob]
