La Fontana Italian Restaurant & Pizzería

Very authentic Italian cuisine! Everything was delicious, tasteful, fresh and creamy! We are definitely going back to try all the traditional dishes and pizzas! Maria Jose was an excellent server!

I had a wonderful dining experience at this Italian restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious , full of authentic flavor and perfectly prepared. From the appetizers to the main course, everything was on point. The service was truly exceptional. A special thank you to Luna for her warm and attentive care throughout the evening. She made us feel welcomed and taken care of, adding an extra touch to an already great meal. Highly recommend this place!

From the service to the food, everything was spectacular. Luna was our server and she was very attentive and gave us some really good recommendations. Get the fried burrata, yum. And their pistachio dessert was absolutely dreamy.

If you're looking for an Italian restaurant that combines authentic flavors, a cozy atmosphere, and reasonable prices, you can't miss La Fontana. From the moment you step in, you're welcomed by a warm, family-friendly environment that invites you to enjoy a relaxed, unhurried meal. The menu is a true delight for Italian cuisine lovers, offering everything from fresh pastas to artisanal pizzas, all made with top quality ingredients that truly transport you to Italy. Customer service is another standout feature. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to offer personalized recommendations and assist with anything you need. Special thanks to Andrea and Camilo for their exceptional service and attention. Best of all, despite the outstanding quality of both the food and service, the prices are incredibly reasonable. This is the type of place where you can savor a delicious meal without putting a strain on your wallet. It’s perfect for a date night, a gathering with friends, or a family outing.

We first visited Fontana for a special event hosted by Vincenzo Capuano, who came all the way from Italy, and what an unforgettable experience it was for our family. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the service truly outstanding, and the food… absolutely incredible. The pizzas were some of the best we've ever had, and the hosts, Vincenzo and Il Nonno, were amazing with our kids, kind, funny, and full of heart. Honestly, we loved them before we met them… and now we love them even more. We enjoyed it so much that we’ve already planned to return. Fontana is not just a restaurant, it’s an experience.

Food and drinks were great! Though it took a while to get, took an hour to get our personal pizzas and 45 minutes for our drinks . DJ was amazing! And staff were super nice and attentive as they could be (severely understaffed for how busy they were). My problem was the conduction of business! Only two waiters for outdoor seating (every table was packed, all tables beside 3 were 6-tops+) The hostess were forced to run food and clear tables chaotically! Just super unprepared for the service they provide (Monday 6pm-9pm all you can eat Italian food)! Some cleanliness problems as well; like lack of gloves of the pizza chef, or touching food with trash touched gloves! Was here for 2 and a half hours and not once did they change their gloves!

Food was amazing! Yaile our waitress was so sweet, and helpful. I went with the plate she recommended and it did not disappoint. Very attentive. We will be back

La Fontana is simply amazing! Our second time here and the food was excellent. Fresh and delicious ♥️ Mane our server, super attentive and sweet!

Overall a great restaurant! Ambience is nice and trendy with a DJ playing nice house music. Their chairs are comfortable and the place is good for a couple, group of friends and family. They have pasta platter and risotto platter so this is perfect for people who want to try a little bit of everything! Everything we ordered tasted great but the most memorable for me was their fried burrata!! It was so delicious and so different from the regular burrata dish!!! I couldn't have it enough!!!! We were not so impressed with their lobster bisque and pesto risotto. We had an excellent server who was very attentive throughout our dinner (I believe her name was Yani)

This is our first time at this establishment, our waiter. Carlos was very good and knowledgeable of the many items on the menu. We had delicious bread, a very nice appetizer and wonderful entrées. The food is good. The place has a nice vibe and it's definitely somewhere you want to visit. Should you like Italian food and you're in the area

The pizza is crazy good. Very unique flavors and they are really big. My friend & i each ordered a pizza. We ended up sharing & taking 3 slices home each. The service was excellent as well. Very attentive & kind servers. I will be returning to try the other items on the menu.

My husband wanted to eat pizza for his bday, but he also wanted to go someplace nice. So I was on the search for someplace that would have both. Enter - La Fontana! Though somewhat small and intimate, this Italian restaurant was beautiful and had amazing food! We got a beautiful selfie on a flower arch at the entrance to their outdoor terrace. And the inside had beautiful, fun, modern decor. We agreed the food was great! We started with the Antipasto and the bread service. The Antipasto was huge and so good. The bread came with three different spreads/ dips for the bread, and the bread was so soft. For our meals we had the Pizza Rústica, Risotto ai Funghi, and the kids chicken tenders. The chicken was well seasoned and tasty! My husband liked the pizza. Though he thought it could have used more sauce, he thought the crust was really good. My risotto was creamy and flavorful, and some of the mushrooms were crispy which added some good texture to the dish. For dessert we had the Pistachio Tres Leches which was soft, creamy, and delicious!! When they sing happy birthday, they have this loud music and a laser light thing throughout the restaurant. It was very unique and fun, but my toddler had a meltdown as soon as it ended (I think it shocked her bc it did sort of catch all of us off guard). I thought it was super cool otherwise though, and I noticed when they brought my husband's dessert they only did the laser thing for a few seconds which I assume was bc of our toddler which I thought was thoughtful. Anyway, great food and great experience. The service was amazing as well. Highly recommend! *one note... I only knew they had pizza on the menu bc I had seen previous yelpers mention it, but it wasn't on the menu. I asked our server and it turned out they did have pizza on a somewhat more extended menu we could access through the QR code at our table.

Very quiet and intimate Good family restaurant. Drink aperitivo- Happy hour ends at 8pm Mon-Friday It's a great deal with drinks Good service and very friendly. The food was OK.

I ordered food delivery from . More than half my order was not delivered. Additionally, my order had a special for buy one get one free for pizza and for Alfredo Linguini. I was charged for two pizzas and 2 Alfredo linguinis. I requested a refund and was not reimbursed in full. The food that was delivered was subpar with no taste. Total disappointment.

Presentation was awesome with the big cheese wheel. Food and service was A1! This was my first time trying the big cheese wheel and now I am hooked! If you are in the Doral area you gotta check them out.

I've been wanting to eat here for some time. We went on a Sunday for lunch and sat outside at a very cute terrace. I believe they were short staffed that day. Our server was very friendly, took our drink order and ordered the artisanal bread. Probably 30 minutes passed and we still had nothing. After we asked they brought and were very apologetic. We ordered pasta, pizza and a burger. We had issues with 2 of the 3. I don't want to get into details since I truly believe there was a staffing issue. But after waiting so long for everything it was pretty frustrating. I sent one meal back and asked for it to be removed from the bill. Honestly they agreed and were very nice about it. He really tried to correct it. They also gave us a dessert that was AMAZING, pistachio tres leches !! I will not let one bad day ruin my experience and will absolutely give it another try because of the great service. Also, the pizza was soooo good!

Le lugar está muy bonito y la comida súper rico. El servicio estuvo excelente, la mesera pasaba frecuenté y la comida salió rápido (30 minutos). Ambiente chévere con música. La milanesa fue lo único que no se sentía mucho el truffle pero igual estuvo bueno.

Great food and ambiance, my server even cooked my meal. Pizza was great and the pasta was A1A Perico. Scarface voice (it's puro meng) good shiiii.

Called the restaurant to confirm address due to website not matching the Uber address and I was yelled at for speaking English and they hung up on me. Called again and they hung up on me again. We still went due to good friends having such a good experience. We did have a nice time and hostess was lovely and service was good. Food was good but we may try other options if came again. Enjoyed the presentation of the Parmesan pasta but would likely prefer another dish with less strong flavor

Food was tasteless. Would not recommend. Order online for delivery. Didn't receive all of the order.

Absolutely love this place! The staff was really friendly and patient. We were a table of 6 people and they kept up with us and remained patient and polite! We ordered the bread plate and the pear salad and got a delicious red wine to start! We tried several dishes and they were absolutely delicious! We also got the tomahawk special and it came with a side of 3 pastas which were all delicious and definitely worth the price. The music was light and lovely and the overall vibe of the restaurant was really nice. I'm definitely going back there!!

I went for lunch for the first time , easy parking , very nice decoration and very comfortable chairs I had a lasagna for lunch for 13 dollars and included small minestrone soup, very good price and normal size , the only reason I don't give 5 stars is because the service was slow

The vibe was nice and quaint and the food was amazing. We had the osso bucco and the mushroom risotto. Check the specials menu for special drink prices. We went here for our anniversary and it was perfect.

Extremely expensive. The food is good but the prices are not congruent with location and type of food.

Decided to give this place a try again after almost 5 years - it was a little better than our first attempt, but still not up to par. Service was good, definitely better than our last try years ago. But food was mediocre. Most of the appetizers were fine but my chicken piccata consisted of 2 grilled chicken breasts with some capers on top. There was a little bit of a lemon sauce, but that was it. I felt like I was just eating grilled chicken. Nothing like any other chicken piccatas I have had in various other Italian restaurants. I do think people can give this place a try, but we probably will not return, not even in another 5 years LOL

False advertising. I suspect there must have been a change in ownership. Meals did not match their company website's pictures and were poorly cooked. For example, the lasagna was so overcooked, that without a knife, it was not possible to cut. Since only 3 other customers there at a peak time, we should have known better and not stayed.

Come with me to La Fontana Ristorante, located in Doral. La Fontana offers a variety of Italian dishes that sound so good you'll want to try them all. On this visit we started with drinks, I had the White Sangria and my friend had a glass of Chardonnay. We ordered the Fried Calamari as our appetizer, it was cooked to a perfect crisp and served with their house-made Tartar Sauce and Pomodoro. For our mains we couldn't decide between all their delicious pasta options so we each ordered one and shared. I ordered the Carbonara on linguine and she ordered the pasta Quattro Formaggi on tagliatelle, both were scrumptious. Overall, La Fontana was delicious and the service was great.

La atención muy buena, la comida buena, el ambiente bueno,lo que no me pareció que al pagar en la factura había un cargo extra del alcohol!!! Si el trago dice un precio porque al final al pagar te cargan un 18% más por el alcohol? No hay ninguna advertencia por el cargo extra en el alcohol, me siento estafada, por 2 personas pagar $350 es demasiado!!! Definitivamente no vuelvo a ese restaurante..

I came for lunch here and I have to say I was amazed, the service was extraordinary. The server Luna was amazing and so attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. If you like Italian food this is one of the top places I would recommend, everything was delicious and so fresh, even the drinks and desserts were delightful. The ambience of the restaurant inside and outside was beautiful as well.

La Fontana has been our go to Italian spot in Doral for quite a while now and they have yet to disappoint. We started eating here when it was just a restaurant but since then they have expanded to the parking lot and outside area as well. There is indoor and outdoor seating and the restaurant was pretty busy the whole time we were there which is always a good sign. The focaccia bread was soft and delicious and we ordered to sangrias to drink. They were strong and you could taste the alcohol. For the main meal my wife ordered the carbonara with extra sauce and I ordered the pepperoni pizza. If you like your pasta to be a little bit more creamy I recommend adding extra sauce to it, they do charge you for it but it's worth it and you can use the focaccia bread to make sure there's no sauce left on the plate. The pepperoni pizza was delicious also and made in a brick oven in the kitchen. The crust was cooked perfectly and not burnt. It is a pretty decent size and I would say you could share the pizza amongst two people. The servers are very attentive to make sure the water on the table was full and that we didn't need anything throughout the night. As I mentioned in the beginning we have been here multiple times and have always have a great experience. Definitely give them a try if you are in Doral looking for a good spot

Y termino con una estrella por que habian cucarachas literal 4 o 5 caminando en las paredes del patio por el televisor y las neveras . La estabamos pasando espectacular. Habiamos comido delicioso y Cuando ya casi terminando a una de mis amigas le volo una cucaracha voladora en la cabeza y a otra el el cinturon de su pantalon. Despues del desastre de las cucarachas nos pasamos para dentro. A cantar el happy Birthday y aunque fue una noche excepcional, yo a ese restaurante no vuelvo. Creo de verdad que tienen una infestacion de cucarachas.

First time because my son birthday , they sand happy birthday to him ,which is nice ,the food was fine but not the same to my wife. A little expense but was fine .

I'm giving it a three since it's way over priced. The average pasta dish is over $30! Pasta is so inexpensive! The food is actually very good but hard to come back for a second visit. You won't be disappointed in food and service as long as your rich! They can easily bring down prices $10 and do multiple repeat business. It's not Coral Gables, where it's expected. Don't be surprised.

Sorry to have to do this but this restaurant has gone bad the menu is horrible for dinner I have been going here long time it was always amazing they now have taken staple dishes off the dinner menu like chicken parm and even Alfredo even chicken Alfredo and simple steaks you are over reaching for the neighborhood you are in the restaurant was empty it was always full and good vibes and service now your going beyond regular customers and the great dishes you had the pizza was not even available you need to realize sometimes simple and great are one and the same people want flavor and consistent not over priced and complicated the reviews on line look fake I assure you all this is real I sincerely hope the staff will change this menu best of luck my family will not be back till you change this horrible menu we ended up walking out and going to divitos down the street where it's simple good and consistent you have got to think about your customer base first it's better to have ten meals served than three I'm sure your waiters can understand this consistent customers and repeat customer pay the bills not one time party meals I'm not saying you need to be Pizza Hut but take a lesson from Divitos and others that are packed with customer most are repeats

We came to La Fontana for dinner about a week ago and the food and ambiance was pretty good. The place is nice and clean and the service was ok but since food was good I'm giving it a 4 star rating instead of 3.

Great service from start to finish from Ignacio and silvana Food & drinks were spectacular

So, we didn't want to do this... but, we are extremely disappointed at our experience here. We ordered appetizers for 4 people which were the highlights of our entire experience. The main entréis were a disappointment. The Fiorentina Especial was huge and shared by our friends who were celebrating their 8 year anniversary. We all tried it and the meat was so bland, the three pasta side dishes that came with it were better than the entire steak itself. Also, the Milanese parmigiana that my husband ordered was a complete disgrace to the name. It was the size of a kids chicken breast and as thin as paper. I was expecting a lot more from this place on a Sunday night. The service was good. Nothing bad to say there. I just hope they figure it out because the food was horrible. We don't care about paying the amount in which the restaurant wishes to price their food/drinks. But make it worth it.

Family restaurant in the doral area offering quality Italian food. The staff is helpful and they always work quick. The shrimp over risotto is one of my fav plates to order. Risotto is perfectly cooked and the shrimp tastes like quality seafood. The prices are fair and the menu has many options for whatever you might be in the mood for. Located in a shopping center there's plenty of parking and they also offer valet. Well recommended!

So I was around the area decided to just walki in very nice atmosphere calm and quiet I had a sangria with the pitcher and I had pasta promodoro I add it chicken pretty good the staff was nice and very clean they had a bar too

Lunch menu is delicious, great, affordable and what makes better is Luna ask for her she is the best

11/9/2022 - La Fontana was close to our hotel is why we decided to eat there. I was in the mood for pizza. Being an Italian restaurant I would think their pizza options would be greater then it is. I was disappointed. We ordered the fried calamari for our appetizer. They were salty and hard to chew. They also had no crunch. A batter issue as well. When you look at the photos you'll see why $37.00 this small piece of beef tenderloin is ridiculous. The soy based sauce too wasn't tasty to me. The mashed potatoes didn't have enough butter or salt. Very bland. The Fontana burger was great. We liked it a lot. The bread was a sour dough bread. It worked for the burger. I enjoyed it. The fries were crispy enough. I do like the ambiance of the restaurant. Cozy. The atmosphere is one you will enjoy. What you might not enjoy is what we experience is our food coming out the kitchen in a time that wasn't reasonable. It wasn't busy, so there wasn't an excuse to me. Now, I live in Boston. Our receipt shows a Tourist Tax of 1%. I lived in Miami 9 months last year, visit often enough. What is a tourist tax? And what if I lived around the corner? Do locals pay that same tax? Would I eat here again? NO! Happy Eats

My family made reservations for a table of 10 & when we arrived we were seated promptly to our table. We started ordering drinks, i and my brother & sister in law as well as my cousin ordered mojito which I highly recommend as it had shaved ice on top & tasted amazing compared to other mojitos that I have had before. I ordered pasta alla ruota where they mix hot pasta on top of a cheese wheel which they normally do it in front of you but they mixed it in the back due to covid from what they told me. My dish was good it was thick & cheesy but not so creamy & I asked for shrimp to be added to my pasta which made it good (protein options: chicken, steak, shrimp, mushrooms...). My cousin next to me ordered pizza Hawaiian which I had a slice of & it was thin & slightly burnt but it was good. The food arrival time took very long which felt like an hour wait while we were at our table drinking & chatting. The waiters I believe there were two different people & one woman were serving us. I wish they knew who ordered what or at least say something because they gave my drink to the wrong person who never ordered it which I got back but wish they spoke up instead of assuming. Anyways if you have patience this is your place & the food was good not great just good in my opinion but drinks I do recommend especially mojitos. There's a valet parking near them which we avoided & parked in front of them where it's free lol The bathrooms are clean where they have one man's & one woman's restroom down the hallway to the Left.

To be fair, I've never heard of this restaurant. My dad brought it up while he was in town and seeing as it was 30 min away from my house and the 3 star avg I was hesitant. My dad heard of this place because Jaime Bayly, a Peruvian journalist is known to dine here. We stopped by for lunch and was surprised to see it busy! We were seated right away, they have both indoor and outdoor seating. They have weekly lunch specials that looked really tasty so I ordered the chicken Parmesan and my dad ordered the beef Alfredo dish. We also got bread and the minestrone soup to start. The soup was very filling and not as brothy as I thought. The bread was really tasty and is made in-house and served with marinara sauce on the side. My chicken parm was delicious but what stood out was the Alfredo pasta I was served. It was sinfully creamy, I will dream about it for days. Side note, I saw a guy with a huge cheese wheel mixing pasta in it, this place is legit!

We regularly go out to dinner, every weekend. We were with our grandchildren and decided to give Fontana a shot at 4:00pm last Sunday. We were charged $38.00 for a small chicken picatta with sides that we did not want. A small sliced breast of chicken, and $32.00 for a small Carbonara when the menu list it at $25.00. Not to mentioned $7.00 for bread and butter and an automatic 18% service fee. We wanted pasta with the picatta but she said NOPE must be with mash and asparagus. The mash was not homemade, boxed mash. But why would you not give your customer what they want? Explain if there is an upcharge but get it done. Nope, our server said mash or mash! Extremely over-priced considering the product and it looks like they just make up prices as they go. At least I should have been told that a small chicken picatta would cost $38.00. I didn't see it on the menu. But she was unconcerned, really didn't care. If I could give a double zero, I would. In good conscience I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone. Stay away. And why the forced service charge? I always tip well. What is wrong with these people? Absolutely horrible. Again, stay away. Double zero because they weren't even nice and the quality of the food was subpar.

Spectacular food! Everything was fresh, tasty & served with care...... from our amazing appetizer up until the very end with our dessert. Drinks were tasty, service was on point & the location was small & private- really loved that. Took my husband for his bday as he wanted authentic Italian cuisine & so I made sure to deliver. Amazing place, definitely recommend this!!

Worst Italian in Doral ! I don't recommend this place ! Service is rude and take forever Plates Are overpriced Don't go ! Empty restaurant

We came for a birthday & while the food was all very good, this restaurant is extremely overpriced. $64 on two drinks, margaritas. I wasn't sure if I was in Las Vegas or what! The bread appetizer with the cheese is also a bit expensive for what it is. Every dish seems to be reasonable priced until you realize it doesn't include any protein. Everything has to be added on-top of what you are ordering. Overall the food was very good, but not for what we paid. We paid 5star prices at a 3 star restaurant.

Terrible experience from the start. We went on a Friday evening, for my husband's birthday dinner. Only valet parking allowed in their parking lot so you'll have to find parking elsewhere. Our server was painfully slow. She disappeared for a majority of our time there. We all ran out of water and had to go up to the counter to ask for more. My husband asked for a macchiato (coffee) but never received it. The $28 lasagna literally had one noodle and burnt cheese. The rest was meat. 18% gratuity is already added, so be aware. Plus a tourist tax (even though we aren't tourists). We will not be returning here again.

The pasta was perfect there made I house and you can tell the difference. Nice day out with my daughter.

Excellent service , tasty food, beautiful decoration, it's a way to feel you are in Italy. Luna serve our table with a big smile !

Came out to celebrate my birthday dinner with my father, the staff was extremely friendly with suck am amazing hospitality I'll definitely be back for more special occasions, extra thanks to our waitress Carmela and Vini for helping with such a special night!!

We came for my birthday last weekend and spent a lot of money on this restaurant didn't have the chance to keep ordering because this lady came to us to tell us we needed to leave since the table was reserved ... really ? We were still eating.. we are definitely NOT going back.

I went with my girlfriend. Beautiful place inside. But food is a different story. First let's start off with the drinks but that was the only good things here. The Bellini here was amazing 10/10. Best Bellini I ever had. The calamari was regular as hell 4/10. Bonefish has better calamari than this place. The pasta was disrespectful. If you are judging it from home made pasta standard, it was 4/10. If you judging it from a restaurant standard, this was 2/10. Olive garden's has better pasta than this place. When was eating the pasta felt like I was eating prego sauce and regular ass pasta. Very sad! Then let's get to the pizza. Let's just say it was 3/10 for restaurant standard!!! All and all just get drunk here off of bellini's!!! That was amazing!!! Then get food somewhere else!!! I gave it two star because of the Bellini. Whoever was bartending dec 19 2020 in the night. You need to keep them.

This was an excellent choice for early Valentines Day celebration we had looked at menu ahead of time and were set to order but listen to our server Ziad's recommendation and were very happy We will Definitely go back to experience other dishes

I went for lunch to La Fontana today and I was very disappointed. Two of us ordered the Branzino which was very small and full of fish bones. We ordered the "Special Lunch Menu" to be surprised with a large check. They charged us $49 for the Brazino that should be $19. The waitress told us that we could replace the mash potatoes for pasta or any other side but never said that it would cost $10 extra. They overcharged for several items and for things that we did not ordered. We asked for the check to be correct mes accordingly however that left several items with the incorrect price. I will never return to this place hand o do not recommend it. See the photos to understand why.

I' am not a person to make many reviews but the disappointment of my experience here forced me to do this. First of all we went to celebrate a very special birthday - we told the waiters many times that we wanted to sign happy birthday and it fell on deaf ears. The food took exactly 52 minutes to come out and the entire time we were trying to get the attention of the waiters for an update. We were a party of 8 (biggest table in the restaurant) and were ignored the entire night. We ordered very expensive plates and at the end we were so tired of waiting that decided to leave. When I asked for the bill the waiter took another 34 minutes to come back and take my payment. Unfortunately I would never return to this place and will advise my friends and relatives to do the same.

My sister made a reservation for my birthday so we went around late lunch / early dinner time. The food is good and it taste pretty authentic. The service was also good. The server took time to explain us the menu because it were our first time at the restaurant. The pastas are good and were freshly made there, but the portions are to small for their prices. I found the meat amount was sufficient compare to the pasta portions. To me its a little overpriced, but that is my personal opinion.
