Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
La Vecchia Fontana offers an intimate dining experience with "excellent food and service." Guests rave about the "delicious dinner" options, including halibut and veal Francese. The BYOB policy is a hit, and the staff, including standout servers like Lindsay, enhance the experience. Slightly slow service is noted but doesn't overshadow the charm.

    Food was very good. Service was a little slow as they were understaffed. Surprised to see that the crowd was quite elderly.

    We always have a delicious dinner at La Vecchia.It's an intimate setting that we love. We had the halibut special last night, and my husband had the veal Francese. Both were yummy.

    Had another wonderful meal at La Vecchia Fontana. Wife ordered the Branzino and I had the short rib / pasta special. The short rib paired perfectly with the wine that I brought with me. Love the BYOB!

    The arugula sslad and grilled calamari were very good. My husbands clams and spaghetti were oily and a disappointment. I had a special and the grilled shrimp and seared scallops were cooked nicely but it was a pricy $50 entree for what was served
