Oustanding

by fbrucia

This place has true Italian food! The servers are nice and well rounded. It is a family owned restaurant that has been in business for over 30 years. The owners are friendly and always welcoming. They go completely out of their way in order to please their customers. We were originally waiting at Carrabba's but the wait was ridiculous as usal. So we left and discovered Fontanella's. We were so pleased with the entire experience that my family and I are now regulars at Fontanella's instead. By the way, you must try their desert.

• Pros: Great for romance or for a family night out.

Big, fat Italian favorites that don't sing until they hit the tastebuds in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Great birthday #70

by biglen2

Our group of 10 folks were serviced by a delightful server. The food was hot and well presented after a short wait. The server made sure our drinks were full throughout the meal. A good time was had by all.

Authentic family style Italian

by larryphipps

We visited Fontanella's for the first time last Saturday evening with about 20 others. They couldn't have been more accommodating, cheerfully re-arranging tables so we could have groups, including a separate table for the pre-adults. The service was wonderful, but the real draw was the food. The seven at our table shared four courses and couldn't have been happier. Personal favorite: eggplant parmesian that was rich but still light and crisp. Savignon Blanc and Chianti by the glass were delicious. Altogether, a wonderful, unhurried meal.
