The best lasagna I’ve ever had. The service was excellent. Fabiana is a jewel of a waitress. Five stars!

Had no idea what to expect and this wound up being the best meal of our entire vacation. Had Chicken Parmesan w/ a side of pasta and sausage. Absolutely delicious, sausage tasted homemade.

This small restaurant has the best Italian food. The service and atmosphere add to the pleasurable experience. I highly recommend stopping in for a delicious meal. We ate here on our last trip to Charleston (6 years ago) and I was excited to see it is still open.

I was in Charleston with my daughter moving her into her apartment at the College of Charleston when we ran into someone on King Street who recommended La Fontana. So we went and loved everything about it! The food is amazing, fresh homemade, truly authentic Italian food. We are from Boston and are Italian. Many restaurants claim to be authentic but are far from it. Not this one, we both ate our entire meal and had dessert after saying we couldn't eat another bite! Fabiana, the owner was so kind to me and especially to my daughter who was having all kinds of feelings. She made her feel safe and at home!!! I know the food is what you are all most interested in, so you will not be disappointed! If I could I would give La Fontana 10 stars!

Give La Fontana a try. Ignore trolls and snobs. Yes, Charleston is moving towards the wonderful, stylish, boutique type restaurants, but Italian is about the food. La Fontana is run by Fabiana, who is putting her heart and soul into this restaurant. I had the pasta Bolognese and it was wonderful. My wife had the tagliatelle with shrimp, and she loved it. I suggest you support a long-term, loyal, local business and not judge the book by its cover. Be now, be unique, go retro and have fun and a great, authentic Italian meal at La Fontana!

Authentic Italian. My ancestors are Sicilian, this doesn't make me an expert but I've had more Italian food than most people. This place is good and the staff is attentive.

Showed up with a party of 15 and they accommodated us with no problem! Food was amazing and honestly I had a few drinks so I’m having a hard time remembering our servers name but she was awesome! We had a blast and will definitely be back soon!
