Great Italian food and wine in a friendly atmosphere!
Google
very friendly and attentive waitress. I guess this place is family-owned restaurant. Ordered the mussel in white wine, which was delicious. I got fillet mignon which was overcooked (ordered medium, but got well done).
overall, it's a decent italian restaurant, but i think it's too expensive.

The food and service was amazing! The grilled calamari was magnificent. The chicken parmigiana was to die for. We have two picky 8 year olds who ate all of their food ( and some of ours!). We will definitely be back

The hospitality was great. I had minestrone soup for the first time and they did it justice. Super fresh and tasty. The lasagna Bolognese was magnificent. Nice sized portions.

Delicious and fresh. The restaurant is so cozy and the staff is so polite and attentative. Had wine fresh warm bread, the ceasar salad, the calimari, and the baked artichokes. Everything was delicious.

Our family came here for Easter. We have vegetarian and gluten free eaters. They
found plenty on the menu. Very much a family owned and run environment. We loved the pasta dishes and appetizers. I will be back.

The food is authentic and delicious (do not pass on the Lasagna). The restaurant is nicely decorated. Make reservations if you are planning to go for weekend dinner. Parking can be tricky at times, but don't be discouraged by that.

A great mom and pop restaurant with fresh, flavorful dishes. Olga the greeter/waitress and Franco the owner/chef are two of the friendliest folks you'll ever meet. Definitely worth a visit.

I have never had a bad meal here ! Actually, most of these home made dishes are outstanding !
LOVE the Chicken Parmigiana, LOVE the Pasta Carbonara ! My husband gets the whitefish, sometimes the eggplant puttanesca....YUM !!
Been eating here for over 25 years & I know the Chefs are willing do special requests.
I heartily recommend LaFontenella !

Best eggplant in the city, truly a rare find. Your food will not be made instantly but it will be made by hand by the owners. Second time I went there after getting the plate, Franco came from the kitchen and sat down at the bar. After eating we talked for hours about the city, about how he opened up the signature room. The couple that owns the place is truly a rare find, I suggest for quiet sit down dinner as the only noise you will hear is from the single tv at the bar or of other patrons. It is a very friendly place with a mellow atmosphere.
