Hotel Fiesole

Bella rosa is a very nice place. The food is good but definitely on the pricey side. The update it restaurant is always dead as it is too over the top.

Made a Saturday night dinner reservation for 2. When we got there (on time) the hostess’ asked if we would mind waiting in the bar for 10−20min? Even though literally all but 1 table were empty. Once we were seated we had to ask for our bread (which was only 2 rolls) after seeing 2 tables that were sat after us receive theirs. We ordered an app– the shrimp/​crab cocktail which was only 2 shrimp and 3 small, not very good crab claws, and then each ordered a salad– which were both good. Then we ordered our entrees– the filet mignon and the Bronzino. Besides taking FOREVER to get our meals (still at this point only 3 other tables in the entire restaurant) they were not very good. The filet was over cooked and def not worth $ 42 and the Bronzino, although I was warned there might be one or two tiny fish bones throughout, was filled with them! Each and every bite! And it was served with some unappetizing sloppy rice. Needless to say not a great experience for what should have been a special evening. Poor food and poor staff.

I am here from North Carolina visiting my daughter who lives in Collegeville. While here, my friend since grade 4 who lives in Glen Mills, PA came to see me and my daughter recommended Hotel Fiesole for lunch. We had the most wonderful time! Our server, Anthony was friendly and professional. Our cheese appetizer was delicious along with the good wines. The cocktail and wine offerings are excellent. Lunch was superb, the food was cooked perfectly with great presentation and the tea choices along with a terrific dessert were marvelous! The atmosphere, service, and accommodations are are well worth your visit. I highly recommend this beautiful hotel in Skippack, PA. I look forward to my next visit.

We’ve only eaten here for Sunday brunch buffet a few times. Each time was excellent. Wonderful array of foods… meat carving station, Belgian waffles, omelets made to order, pasta, fish… you name it, they probably have it. Our favorite is the Lobster Eggs Benedict.
The dessert table is amazing. The Pastry Chef came out to our table to thank us after we paid a compliment via the waiter.
Great foods. Great service. Beautiful surroundings. Great value.
We can’t wait to go back!

So we came here for Sunday brunch last week. We arrived at 9:50am, they open at 10:00am. We were told that they were fully booked and would not be able to accommodate us. I asked the hostess Jennifer if they seriously had every table booked starting right at 10:00am and her answer was simply, sorry. Not once did she offer to ask a manager or try to find a way to get us in. We have been here quite a few times before (without reservations) and have thoroughly enjoyed the food. Maybe they didn’t want our business because it was my wife and two children with us. The funny thing was we ate down the street and on our way back at 11:15am there were seriously 3 cars in the parking lot. I can only assume that they don’t need the business. This day and age they should fight for everyones business.

Nice atmosphere. Good selection of beer and wine. Food just mediocre. Portobello sandwich abysmal. Tiny little mushroom in large bun. Salad was good. Eh

A beautiful building with 2 restaurants (And plenty of room to host a private event) inside and engaging architecture.
Service is friendly and warm.
A nice seleciton of fine teas.
Casual yet elegant — and a decent «date place».

We came here on a Friday evening for drinks and had a great time. It is beautiful inside! And not what I expected. Different levels with a beautiful staircase, different rooms and bars. The atmosphere alone made it a great experience. The beer was an average selection, just like all these places in the area. The downstairs had a band and many people dancing. It was not a young crowd, I was probably the youngest person there, but I still had a lot of fun. We didn’t eat there so I can’t say much about the food, but I will definitely come back to try it.

Been here several times and will not be back after this experience. Food quality is OK, but portions are extremely small and prices are out of this world. Trying to price food at Mid-​Town Manhattan pricing with tiny portions, Applebee’s quality does not cut it. Staff in the their 20’s do not get customer service and it is painful to see the lack thereof. Charged almost 50 bucks for two very small appetizers and two half filled glasses of wine. Martini ordered had to be returned, because just could not drink it. Never given an itemized bill. Was told this is what it is. Young inexperienced management it seems. Ironically on Friday night, the place was empty… no wonder.

My wife and I decided to take a lazy Sunday drive into Pennsylvania and found ourselves in the quaint town of Skippack. Having left the house without eating breakfast, we were pretty hungry by the time we arrived. Walking past the Hotel Fiesole, we noticed the brunch sign and decided to throw caution to the wind and give it a shot. The quality of the food and incredible selection made us glad we did! The service was outstanding and by the time we were done, we’d met everyone that worked in the restaurant — all of whom were friendly and attentive. One word of caution — make sure you leave room for dessert — you will be astounded by the variety! We can’t wait to go back with friends and family.

I have been here for lunch, dinner and just drinks and apps. It’s always quality. Today I had the smoked salmon salad, the smoked salmon was perfect-​rolled with herbed goat cheese over mixed greens and a citrus apple cider vinegar dressing, great flavors. We sat outside, they have a few tables on the patio. The service was excellent… I can’t wait to go back!

My family and I were here for the Easter brunch buffet. The service was good (did not justify them automatically including 20% gratuity on party of 5 for a buffet) and atmosphere was very nice. The food was very mediocre and the cost was very pricey ($ 270.00 for my wife and I and 3 kids). My daughter asked for an orange juice and they charged $ 3.25 additional above the $ 42.50 flat fee. We were here two years ago for the Easter brunch buffet and had a very enjoyable experience. But things have changed, prices went up and food went down. My wife and I were both very disappointed. Guess we need to find a new place for next year.

As a person who works in Skippack, I have made a point to try the restaurants in the area.
Walking up to The Hotel, I initially thought it to be gorgeous. The interior is nice as well, perhaps a little stuffy for my taste. Regardless, I went to have a good experience so i looked past it.
After sitting down, I started to feel uneasy due to some strange glares from a woman member of the bar staff.
My server was sweet, but inexperienced. He took our order promptly and it took a little long in consideration of how empty they were. I do know good food takes time, but I ordered the grilled Caesar salad. It was okay but highly over priced.
All in all, maybe it is just not the place for me. Or anyone under the age of 30.

This place is a pretty nice restaurant hidden in the small town of Skippack. They actually have two areas to dine in, each offering a slightly different menu with a variety of foods. There’s a casual bar where the prices are more practical compared to the fancier «fine dining» restaurant where the prices are higher and setting is nicer. Definitely check out their site and look at the menus before making your reservation because you can go simple or really dress up. The food was great!

I ate at Hotel Fiesole for brunch with my sister and 5 friends on Sunday, December 14, 2014. All I can say is the food was amazingly delicious accompanied by impeccable service!

We got married at the hotel and just had a wonderful time! It was a great place for pictures, the food was very good, and the honeymoon suite was nice.
Great place for a special occasion.

The food was bland. The chicken was dry. I ordered rabbit over gnocchi. The gnocchi was over cooked and the rabbit was shredded and tough. My friend ordered the chicken and it was also horrible. We won’t be back.

Stopped here last night and Rachael the bartender was awesome! The drinks were made perfectly and she was very pleasant also super cute. I ordered a few appetizers and they were hardly average. Started off with the cheese plate and it was terrible! Our entrées were just ok. Enjoyed the scene as usual but the place is going down hill with the food. Most likely will be back but just for drinks.

My mother came to visit from New Jersey over the weekend and we had traveled through Skippack on our way to go antiquing. We decided to have a nice dinner on our way back and called Hotel Fiesole about a reservation. It was a Friday evening right before dinner service was to begin, we were dressed casually and they offered to accommodate us with a reservation in the trolley car behind the bar, which was a nice surprise. It was extremely loud, to say the least — but beggars can’t be choosers.
We both love good food, so we ordered two different items to share from each section: the eggplant tower and the seared foie gras, the asparagus burrata salad and the kale Caesar, the trofie pasta with peas and pancetta and the seared gnocchi with fava beans, guanciale and tomato broth. I don’t think we should have been charged to split plates based on the fact that we were ordering two items from each course menu. Annoying.
The service was pretty bad. Our waitress was inattentive and spent more time behind the bar making drinks than making sure we were taken care of. She took our wine orders and didn’t return to take our meal order for more than 20 minutes, after I spent 8 minutes standing next to our table by the bar to get her attention while she and two other FOH staff made a drink for one person. We saw more of the three or four male runners who were very polite and helpful. Thanks, guys. Getting our check was also a mighty task, hence our decision to pick up a pint of ice cream for dessert instead of committing to another hour at the restaurant.
The foie gras with foie gras ice cream and balsamic reduction was incredible. The eggplant tower with tomato, goat cheese and basil pesto was enjoyable, as were the salads. I think the seared gnocchi entrée was pretty close to perfect, more guanciale would have made it a 10. The trofie pasta was delicate and yummy but lacked in black truffle butter, so to me, the dish wasn’t priced appropriately.
I’d absolutely love to eat this food again but I wouldn’t return based on the service, most of the FOH employees didn’t seem to care and might be better suited for a job at Applebee’s. Too bad. I’d give 5 out of 5 stars if the service was a little tighter, which in reality bordered on blatant disrespect. Although not preferred, I can handle the let down of a restaurant with poor FOH staff, but I don’t appreciate anyone inconveniencing my mother who deserves a wonderful, stress-​free dining experience.

Looking for a new place in Skippack, me and several friends tried Bella Rosa casual dining at the Hotel… We won’t return. My seafood manicotti dish contained canned seafood. I might have forgiven the canned crab but the tiny canned shrimp… really? Additionally, the cream sauce was broken when it got to the table and the pools of butter looked and was very unappetizing. Lastly, I ordered this dish because the server said it was her favorite dish on the menu. Can’t imagine what her least favorite tasted like.
My friends both ordered the fish ‘special’ which was supposed to be over risotto. We all agreed that it was long grain rice and not risotto and should have been half the price.
Need I say more?
