La Fontana

Amazing food and service. Very personable staff, especially James!

We had a reservation right before the restaurants closed for the third time. Great protocol in place with decorative dividers between tables that kept diners separate but allowed for fine dining ambience. The food was exceptional, wild boar belly and prosciutto wood fired oven pizza. We shared all the deserts too! Along with a perfect meal we had perfect service from James. He entertained us and looked after our every request. An excellent evening all round. I’d highly recommend La Fontana and look forward to our next visit whenever possible.

Love this place! Was really sad to hear they took the big mac pizza off. I hope they bring it back!

Really enjoyed out time there for my 65th birthday. Thanks for the complimentary dessert. Yummy!
Would come back again.

Love love love. The menu is limited but the food is incredible! First time there and will definitely be going back.

Had a fantastic dinner with my family. Service was great, food was great, overall a wonderful restaurant!

Food was good but they didn’t accommodate any of our requests and didn’t make us feel welcome. We wouldn’t go back.

Nice place for a date, group or even family. James was super friendly and welcoming! I would definitely visit again.

My girl friend and I came here and it was so cute! Right on the water and the green flower wall is such a cute accent wall! The Italian pizza is to die for. Also we had a hostess who said it was her first day and she was soooo cute! Loved it and would highly recommend :)

Hidden Gem in Elora , Best Pizza n Friendly Staffs.

Fabulous pizza and the service was exceptional. Looking forward to our next visit!

Great establishment. Nice decor and atmosphere. Service was amazing; friendly, attentive and knowledgable. Food was outstanding!!

Having our dinner in a historic restaurant with an amazing ambient was a great experience. Servers were cheerful and friendly. Also, I loved the duck&brussels pizza. Thanks to all the personnel of LaFonata.

Lovely wood-fired artisan pizza. Very authentic crust. Toppings - was expecting a bit more creativity. Wine was over-priced. Service was friendly. The tent venue concept was nice way to maintain distancing; however we despite the heaters, we were cold.

Great lunch at La Fontana - excellent service, delicious food and lovely atmosphere. Would recommend!

Everything was overall good except the waiter was extremely pretentious. His service was the only thing that brought the enjoyment level down. It was the most over the top performance I’ve ever witnessed. I think he thought he was doing a good job but he was just making us uncomfortable. He actually told me not to tell him about the bills until later....we had to follow his ‘process’. Very weird!

This place is a gem. Delicious pizza, excellent service and a beautiful view.

Great service, friendly staff, great food, super clean, and following COVID protocols!

James was amazing. The food was incredible. You couldn’t even tell there was a pandemic. They made us feel great.

Every time we go back I'm struck by how exceptionally GOOD the food is, how personable the staff are and what a stunning location it is. How are we so lucky to have this quality of restaurant tucked away in Elora?!
This is place is really a gem, and if you like a phenomenal dining experience with a welcoming atmosphere and truly flavour filled meals, this is the spot for you!

Great food!
The carrot cake is one of the best I have had.
I only their vegetarian option pasta were a bit better. Nevertheless, it’s a place I will surely be visiting again.

The service was amazing. We ordered pizza and pasta and the pizza was to die for but the pasta was inconsistent in texture. But the flavours were amazing!!

Delicious every time! Best service as well! Will continue to be one of my regular choices for dining out

Excellent food, quantity, service. The negative, cold temperature in the dining room, had to keep on a winter coat to keep warm

Dining area was cramped. Server was terribly rude and abrupt. When asked if they could make a Caesar, we were told NO. They had no time to make cocktails. Really??? Server, I think, sensed we were unimpressed and did not visit our table again until it was time to present the bill.

Dining area was cramped and crowded and we were seated at plastic tables with plastic chairs. This was the indoor dining. Washroom had not been recently tidied up.

Food did not make up for the poor service and what seemed to be a makeshift dining area.

So good!!! Recommend everything!

Initially had our reservation cancelled 1 hour before our booking due to error in their online booking system. I was really disappointed since we already drove 1 hour to Elora. However, I said to just call us back if a spot opens up although I wasn't very optimistic about it.
But I was so happy when they called me back just at the right time for a spot! The place was lovely and their manager (I think) gave us desserts on the house for the miscommunication!
The food was great and we especially enjoyed the sausage & pepper pasta! Would definitely go back again and will be recommending this to anyone planning a trip to Elora.

The best food I have had at a restaurant in a long time!!!! Everything was so good the beet and buratta salad, venison, boar belly and carrot cake were absolutely amazing. Service was fabulous too!

We are from out of town but had heard that there was over pizza was the best. We tried it out while staying in elora for our anniversary . We had such a great experience ! Food was unreal and atmosphere was adorable ! Our server went above and beyond to make our night special ! Can’t wait to go back on our next trip !

I didn’t know what to expect booking this restaurant for my family and I first time, but Michelle our waiter made the experience smooth and relaxing. We even ate outside which was kinda skeptical for my parents, but the experience was warm and bright! The food Michelle suggested as well was really what she explained and it tasted amazing! Definitely going back here again when I’m in the town!

My boyfriend and I ordered the warm olives to start and the waiter failed to tell us that the bowl of olives was straight out of the oven. I grabbed the bowl and got a second degree burn on my thumb that I proceeded to ice the entire meal and the rest of the evening. On top of that, my pasta was very bland and the focaccia was too salty. Overall, we didn’t enjoy our experience at La Fontana.

The service was great. The charcuterie board was fantastic although would have benefited by having the meat and cheese at room temp and the focaccia warm. My dish was short ribs w polenta and was solid. My wife’s meal was disappointing - gnocchi was super dry as was the jerk pork. The former not even edible. Cute place and would try it again but if I only had one night, I would try a new spot.

Beautiful decor , and the best pasta I've had in my life. The service was fantastic as well.

Had us eating in an outdoor tent, no heat for feet and elegant shoes. Had to wear coat to feel comfortable. They don't know how to slice meat, ie prosciutto, for charcuterie board and "fresh pasta" was over cooked.

Waitress was attentive and kind, however our main course took almost an hour to come out and unfortunately was not worth the wait.

Physical distancing was respected and the severer offered suggestions for the best eating experience. This was my second time eating there and the food is always excellent.

The service was outstanding!
We enjoyed the food and venue.
We felt that COVID measures were followed with great care.
It was a pleasure supporting this local business, we look forward to dining there again in the near future.

Birthday lunch for my husband. Couldn’t have been any better. Food was fantastic. Service was awesome. We had fun and also loved Elora. Jamie the Manager was a delight as well. Love the menu we will be back !!

Serving of the wild boar belly was good, yet portion small with little to go with it for sides. Pizza size was nice. Waiter seemed to forget about us for awhile, someone else eventually jumped in.

Just an ok restaurant, don’t think to visit it again.
