Flavorful Italian Around the Corner – We attended La Fontana for lunch on a Saturday. I was surprised to see the place relatively empty, as the food and service were great! For lunch, I had the grilled chicken that was well-seasoned and not dry or overdone, served with garlic and onion green beans also cooked to perfection. The servers were pleasant and attentive. I would certainly go back for seconds.

Disappointing – The man that came and took our orders seemed very nice and attentive. A waitress came by very quickly with a bread basket and ran off. Four slices of stale, French baguette, instead of Italian bread. A young man came by and dropped off our salads. I got the side of Caesar salad, while my wife ordered the mixed greens with balsamic vinegar. While I was happy, my wife described her salad as "oily dandelion greens", and despite adding salt to it, it still had no flavor. After we finished our salad, the young wom... read more

highlight of my night – My Fiance and I found a taste of Italy in Hatboro last night. We were greeeted at the door by a very lovely hostess and promptly seated at our table intimately lit by candle light. We proceeded to start the night off with mussels marinara and shrimp in a cognac pink sauce. Both were delicious. Afterwards, we were both treated to a complimentary Ceaser salad which was very tasty as well. My Fiance proceeded to have Linguini with shrimp in a garlic and oil sauce which she could not finish due to the lar... read more

What a disapointment. – While I've been to this restaurant many times, my last visit 6 months ago was disappointing. As it's convenient to my home, my wife and I tried it again this evening. What a mistake. Service was good but the food was absolutely horrible. We started with Calimari which was lightly battered, but undercooked to the point the rings were moist with oil and not crispy at all, but edible. We followed that with caeser salad which was good, but my wifes garden salad was swimming in tastless olive oil (we think... read more

overcooked pasta and dirty tables mar nice meal – While I've a nice meal there before, and my date has had many good experiences there, I was a tad disappointed last night. The service was fine, and the waiter and buser were very attentive. However, nearby tables remained not bussed for a long while, which isn't the most pleasant sight. My pasta was terribly overcooked, more soggy than "to the tooth." The sauce was good, but way too many capers than one person can eat in a single meal.

Nice – The food was very good. I had a lobster ravioli special that i enjoyed. The prices were reasonable and the staff was strong. The atmosphere was a little lacking, but all in all it was a good place.

Good food, good service – Very courteous staff, young and very attentive which is surprising for this day and age. Great food for the price, excellent desserts. Little too much rum in the rum cake though. Seated right away, but can get busy so I would recommend reservations. Dining for 2 under $100 and I had a better experience than at many over-priced restaurants.
