La Fontana Ristorante

This place is a SCAM ! Locals never eat there ! Empty Place ! Prices are are ridiculously high ! Go away ! They’re looking for customers who’ll never come back ! Now I know why this place is empty ! The only table was the employees. See my receipt ! Prices speak for themselves ! Don’t ever eat in this restaurant! They think they’re in Miami Beach. They charged you $60 for the house vodka. I couldn’t believe it + Martini price. I had to ask if he hadn't made a mistake on the bill. They told me no ! I could believe! Service was terrible. The waitress/es have nothing to do they stay behind you. You’ve not even finished the plate and they take the plate away from you. At the end, they asked you 25/30%. They don't even bring a bread like all Italians. You will prefer to eat at Divieto a few streets further on the 41st. The service is excellent, fast and the prices very affordable!

Celebrated my valentines at @lafontanaristorante ????❤️ Started off my night with their signature “Bella Ciao” drink which I absolutely loved and felt looked appropriate for the occasion the drink is made with mezcal , passion fruit blue agave infused , chipotle sauce and charcoal ! I know, sounds wild but I totally recommend it because not only is it cool looking it’s very tasty. For dinner I had my all time favorite pasta penne a la Bolognese and finished off the night with a sweet mouse de maracuya. Couldn’t of asked for a better way to end my night. ????

La Fontana Ristorante has one of the most charming interiors. The intimate ambience sets the mood for the night. The food was quite flavorful and we all enjoyed it but for the price paid I was expecting more. Asked for their burrata but it did not impress me, it was just a blob of cheese and it did not seem artisanal. Another disappointment was learning that the sangria was almost $100 and that the bill had a $50 service charge. Needless to say we did not tip. Nevertheless, the risotto (WOW!!) and some of the pastas (pesto & alle vongole) were delicious and the closest to the authentic Italian cuisine. Very creamy and appealing to the eyes. Would definitely recommend this place to couples for the romantic atmosphere. From this experience I’d avoid going in group or family outings. The food was delectable but I think there’s room for improvement. Thank you for having us!
