After hearing from my friends in the neighborhood about this great little Italian restaurant, we finally made it there last night. Of course, great April evenings started our experience at La Fontana perfectly on the patio. The owners and wait staff made us and our children feel so welcome. Bringing our own bottle for our meal (w/a small corkage fee) was even better.
Then we got to the food. From the bread, to the fresh side salad (which looked like a meal) to the dinners we each chose (there were 11 of us) we were one satisfied group. My husband and friend had chicken piccatta, which was dreamy. The chicken was pounded thin and very tender with not too many or too little capers on top. The accompanying pasta was creamy and not too salty. I had the bolognese pasta with wide noodles.....so good. The calamari appetizer was also amazing.
We will be back, if only so we can try some of the other items on the menu. The prices were great and all of us had leftovers to take home.
These owners are hard-working people and I do really hope they succeed. We like having a great tasting, fare priced, authentic restaurant in our neighborhood.
