Hearth Kitchen Kennett Square

We went here Saturday night after attempting to go to Chadds Ford Tavern (which was mobbed) so we decided to continue down Route 1 to see what we would find. We spotted Hearth Kitchen in this strip of stores and thought we would take a chance. REALLY glad we did. It was still happy hour so we decided to eat at the bar, really small but quality craft beer selection, many unusual drinks like “Sweater Weather” where a lit cinnamon stick is put into the drink to bring smoke. We had the pizza’s off of the happy hour menu, which were only $13 and were wood smoked style, super good! But the best thing about our visit was our server/bartender Frank, he really made the experience so fun, we want to come back just to see him again, oh and of course to drink some beer :)

Always liked this place but recently they changed the menu and obviously this is personal preference but I believe the previous menu items were much better. They had a great shrimp scampi and one of the best chicken Parms I’ve ever had. They used to have more Italian staples that seem to have been replaced by seafood options like swordfish skewers and fried oysters. Pizza is still fantastic, but I hope they bring back some of the previous items.

Love Hearth Kitchen! Always a great experience. Delicious food from burgers and gourmet pizza to fish and steak. Make sure you get a pasta dish- they are always homemade pasta and to die for. Service is always friendly and ambiance is very nice. Try it you will not be disappointed!

Pizza!!! We had all the pizza. Fig and bacon, garlic and ricotta, margharita, and sopresatta....all so good...crust on the thinner side and with the big burnt bubbles. Water is with no ice and I loved it. Garlic bread is crsipy and delicious. The pizzas are shareable size....probably at least 12-15 inches across. The music was a little weird - it started out like kinda big band or "Italian-sounding" and moved to 00's clubbing songs. The hostesses were also pretty much dressed in street clothes and didn't look like they worked there... ut neither of those things really affected anything. Food and service were good!

We were in town for the night and it was very close to our hotel with few other options locally within a mile or 2. The service was good but one complaint is that the mains arrived to the table while we were still eating our appetizer. Please can we get some time between? Our reservation was at 8:30 (and we were on time) and I know they were very eager to close the kitchen at 9, but you should still plan service off the 2 courses accordingly.
The food was ok. We both got the chicken parm. The chicken seemed a bit over cooked but the pasta on the side was very good. I think the pastas are homemade.
