| - The food is bad. It is cafeteria quality.
I'm trying to get to the point sooner in my reviews. This is an extremely bad restaurant with low quality food.
We were there on a weekend, waited about ten minutes just to get water, food took maybe 40 minutes from time of ordering.
The pizza was junk. Reviewer Trisha M. said exactly was I thinking: Peter Piper. Since this is billed as a Trattoria-Pizzeria, you would think their pizza would be good, maybe even awesome, along the lines of Humble Pie, Cibo, Bianco, Piazza al Forno, etc. It's not in the same universe as those places. It's not even at the level of Crust or Sauce. It falls short of Papa John's. This was cafeteria pizza, Peter Piper with too much cheese, the lowest quality and most tasteless ingredients you'll see in an American dining setting.
The bread they brought to the table was also cheap and tasteless, again, cafeteria quality. They don't even provide actual butter. Instead, they give these cheap packets of fake butter like we're in the Army or something. Bruschetta was also bad, using cheap bread, probably the same bread, and flavorless, unripe tomatoes.
You'll get much higher quality bread and bruschetta from Carrabba's or Romano's Macaroni Grill. Those are actually pretty good restaurants in retrospect, much more serious than La Fontana. This is a very confusing place, vastly overpriced for about the worst food you'll find anywhere.
