La Fontana

Been driving past this place for almost 47 years. Finally got around to trying it. Wasn't crowded. No wait for a table, but we were there a little early for a Saturday (5 pm). Snagged one of the very limited parking spots. If you don't like to be rushed then you will love this place. Bread and breadsticks were a good start. Their Raviolis are the largest I have ever seen! Linguine Carbonara was good. Wine was ok. Coffee was ok. Cheesecake cones could have been better. Service was good and the restaurant was neat and clean.

Excellent gem in Staten Island! Food is decent, the place is lovely, and the service is very welcoming! Thomas and staff were genuine and attentive.

We are semi regular customers who also had repasse dinner at La Fontana in the past . We were seated in a cold dining room for 25 minutes after being seated by the restaurant employee . No water or bread no one came to ask us for drinks. The servers the few that were there were caring for a private party in the main room . The waiter that served us many times in the past knew we were there . When I finally got up and saw the bartender behind the bar, he questioned me after I told him we were sitting there for 25 minutes whether we sat our self as if trying to push the blame on us. Something similar happened a few years back, where we walked out of the restaurant when the servers were tending to larger parties (we were only three.) Tonite we walked out, went to a competitor a mile away and

A pretty good and relatively happy experience. The food was very fresh. I do feel as though the atmosphere can be updated a bit. We also felt a little disappointed by the service. We just felt like we weren’t really asked how things were throughout the evening and kind of had to wait a while to get our food and drinks.

La Fontana is an incredible experience if your looking for a great "feel like your family" experience. Food is always top notch from the appetizers to the desserts. Service is done with a flare compared to that of dinning with a family member serving you. Very highly recommend if your looking for a new "comfort" place to unwind and enjoy good food and company.
