    Food and service were great. We love eating there in the off season because we are not rushed and it’s not too loud.

    Always a terrific meal at LaFontana Coast. Our server, Barry was great! Very attentive and nice. Made us feel welcome and did not rush us through our meal. I had the artichoke special as an appetizer - very delicious and beautifully presented. The pasta with clams was delicious! My husband had pasta fagoli and lasagna - both delish! Great place to eat year round!

    From my mozzarella fritti appetizer, through my lasagna bolognese main course, to my Dream Bomba dessert; every bite of my meal was spectacular. Maybe the best meal I’ve had this year and the best lasagna I’ve ever had.
