La Fontana Della CittaExcellent serviceWe arrived 45 minutes late for our 6:00 P.M. dinner reservation as a result of traffic on a Friday evening. The staff was very accommodating - especially since we had tickets for a performance a few blocks away at 8:00 P.M. Not only did we eat in time for a relaxed meal, the food was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant and can't wait to return for another lovely dinner.6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMWe thoroughly enjoyed a greatWe thoroughly enjoyed a great antipasta plate and two excellent sea food pastas. We'll be back! The service was attentive and the wait staff was knowledgeable.5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMYou can hear yourself talk!!We met friends for dinner and wanted a place where we could catch up over a leisurely good meal and hear ourselves talk. Fontana proved to be ideal in this regard. It is also a BYOB which we always like. Initially the waiter tried to rush us but when he he saw we were going to be a while he wisely backed off. Service was appropriately attentive. Each couple split nice size salad for appetizer. Both were very good. Bronzino special of the night was excellent. Pasta special with seafood was good. If you are looking for a solid, good italian restaurant in center city with nice ambiance and good service that is a BYOB to boot, Fontana is a good choice5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was excellent.

Good food and reasonable prices for center city Phila.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMdining at fontana de cittigood solid italian food, good service, byob....priced right5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMSplendido!This was a dinner for my family and some members of my former student's family - a group of 8. A comfortable table was reserved for us at the window on the Spruce St. side. Service was impeccable. The food came to us as requested, piping hot and deliciously prepared. My linguini pescatore did not skimp on the delectable seafood and the pasta was truly al dente. Prices are reasonable and our wine was happily presented and served, unlike some BYOBs whose staff perform the service grudgingly. I believe everyone in the group was pleased with this choice for our wonderful get-together. I am certain to return to sample more of La Fontana della Città's delightful offerings.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat ItalianI have been here more than once, the food is terrific, the service is friendly and very efficient and the restaurant itself is beautiful. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the mood for Italian. Great food!4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMI made reservations for myI made reservations for my boyfriend's birthday. They were for 7pm, and when we got there it seemed like reservations may not have been necessary, but by 8 there was a wait. We sat outside because it was so nice out and because of some of the comments about crowding and noise inside, so we didn't see the inside, but the outside was lovely. There are heat lamps so even if it is a bit chilly outside, those keep you warm. The service was fantastic. There were people there for everything yet no one seemed intrusive. The food was very good also. There is a wide variety on the menu as well as several specials, and the prices are very reasonable. Definitely a great place to go.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMTwo diners had the specialTwo diners had the special pasta dish with a vodka cream sauce that was quite good but too rich for me. Another had a basic pasta with meat sauce - very, very good meat sauce. Mine was the best - a pasta dish with lots of assorted sea food in a light white wine sauce - the best dish I have had in this restaurant. I've been here before and will be there again.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMEverything was just wonderfulEverything was just wonderful here. The food was fresh and came out quickly and there was always someone to fill up a water glass or ask how everything was. I would definitely come back and recommend this BYOB to anyone looking for a great Italian restaurant in Philly!4/10/2013 12:00:00 AMdelicious food, strange ambiance.The waiters hover a lot since the main dining room is such a small place. You get the feeling they are standing around and talking about you in between visiting their tables. Other than that, food is amazing but don't just drop in for a quick bite, you will be charged for sharing an entree or coming in to grab a quick salad. but hey, that's how they get tips, and I respect that everyone has to make a living. Yummy pasta, definitely will go back.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was absolutely delicious.Food was absolutely delicious. Service very very good. The homemade pasta is amazing!3/30/2013 12:00:00 AM
