I've still yet to find really good Italian food in AZ. I was excited to try La Fontanella because it has good reviews and it has been around so long. That being said, my girlfriend and I were highly disappointed in the food. I got the chicken parmesan which was average at best and a side of the fettuccine alfredo (yes, I know, it isn't a real italian dish), but the alfredo was similar to what you get in a TV dinner. My girlfriend had the Seafood Alla Vodka, which again, was average at best. The grilled artichoke tasted good because it was drowned in butter, but was really only half an artichoke. The best part about my meal, at least for the value, was the free bread, which was actually good.
Now, the service was GREAT. I believe our waiter's name was Roy. He was awesome. Great service, great personality, great conversation. He made it enjoyable, which is why I gave this place a 3 star. He was quite possibly the best waiter I've had.
Probably won't go back. Expensive for what we thought was average to below average food.
