    A quaint little Italian restaurant located in Center City in the Rittenhouse Square area. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. It was a BYOB which made it more reasonable. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The service was outstanding as well.

    La Fontana Della Citta is an excellent choice if you are looking to have dinner before a performance at the nearby Kimmel Center. It is also superb if dinner is the only thing on your agenda. Good food, attentive service, and an attractive space make La Fontana an option that will not disappoint.

    Great experience--outside on the sidewalk with neighbors strolling by. We shared the clam appetizer...fresh steamed clams in brothy. Add bread & it's a perfect app. The we had the special seafood pappardelle pasta which was excellent. And last we shared the Veal Fontana, like veal saltimbocca but with mushrooms. Very rich sauce.. Highly recommended. Excellent outdoor service. Easy to recommend.

    The branzino was excellent! Only con... the tables for two diners are rather small. With a wine bucket it was difficult for everything else. The most positive .. Ona, the Assistant Manager. She was friendly, and addressed an issue in a very positive resolution. We will be back
