2 Best Restaurants in Washington Crossing, Bucks County

Cozy rooms, including an enclosed front porch, beamed ceiling, white tablecloths, and windows all around, give a refined but undeniably country feel to this river-view, BYOB Italian restaurant. Chef-owner Francisco Argueta breathes new life into old favorites like a thin-sliced, layered eggplant parmigiano; linguine al frutti di mare fradiavolo; and lasagna with a hint of smoked bacon—just keep in mind that portions can be large. Nightly specials lean to seafood, and desserts are worthwhile if you have room.

If this place had been here in 1776, you can bet that George Washington and company would have stopped in for some lemon-chiffon pancakes, ice-cream treats, or tomato pie (a yummy thin-crust pizza native to the Trenton area) before heading off to stomp the Hessians. Don't let the drive-in facade fool you: there's more here than a good old-fashioned soda fountain, and the "little dive," as it calls itself, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's just a little north of the Washington Crossing bridge on the New Jersey side.
