    Fantastico! Molto bene! Ok, that’s it for my Italian. La Fontana was just wonderful for my husband and I. Super efficient and friendly server. Really really good food and wine (and dolce). Lovely warm inviting atmosphere. And, it was reasonably priced too. Hard to find a restaurant like that which hits all the buttons. Highly recommend!

    This place is an old favorite; we used to eat there more often when we worked downtown. It still has the same lovely ambience and good food as they used to. The service was very attentive and appropriate. We will return.

    We had a delightful dinner. The ambience is warm and inviting, kind of like feeling the vibe of a northern Italian home. The servers are all genuinely interested in service and the food was authentic. The wine list is true to a laser sharp focus on Nebbiolo, the grape used in Barolo and Barbaresco Wines from the Piedmont region in Italy, although I enjoyed a delicious and crisp Sicilian white blend with my black cod dish. One last thing to mention, we both had tasty rye based Manhattan’s, which were extremely well crafted. I love this place!

    Wonderful place to eat. Excellence sauces, al dente pasta, great service. White linen, candles, fresh flowers and a relaxed atmosphere. Louder than I remembered it from the past, though. Glad to see this fabulous restaurant reach its 50th anniversary!!!
