Wonderful dinner at La Fontana as usual. I’ve been here many times over five of so years and have never had a bad entree. The selections are great, broad menu, interesting options and nice portions. Between us we had veal, chicken and pasta and all were excellent. Off season but the restaurant was still packed so I’m sure others feel the same. I took off a star because we really didn’t enjoy our desserts which I assume are purchased elsewhere and just weren’t very flavorful. At $12 a pop, which wasn’t revealed on the menu, it’s particularly disappointing. Love the ambience, the energetic atmosphere, the wait staff and the cuisine. Next time we’ll go for the gelato. It’s BYO, which is also very nice. We’ll certainly be returning.

We’ve been to this location several times and this evening, by far, was an unpleasant experience. We had a reservation and when arriving we were asked if we wanted to be seated across the street at Fratellis pizza. If I wanted to eat at Fratellis I would have gone to Fratellis. We were eventually seated in La Fontana. The restaurant was so packed and other guests so LOUD I couldn’t fully enjoy our meal. It was difficult to even have a conversation because you couldn’t hear at our own table! Packed in such a small space surely contributed to the overall noise. The food was good and we did enjoy our meal but watching the wait staff (waiting on us) running food across the street for other diners eating at Fratellis was surely the reason our service was slow. I actually felt bad for the servers. The Management here needs to do better .. I get you want to make money but there has to be a better way

We went there for the first time in over 5 years, and we realized why it had been so long. The pricing is very deceptive, they could not give us the price of any of the specials, which we discovered are so over priced it's almost illegal.

We were there for Valentine’s Day at 6PM. We were seated promptly. I requested a salmon Caesar that was not on menu but they declined to accommodate granted it was a holiday I ordered salmon and it was fine. We dined there before and Frank Sinatra type music was playing & it was romantic but it was not on for Valentines Day. I thought there could have been red flowers on tables at least red carnations. Food was good. Waiter was great!
