The place is really great food wise. Very authentic Italian flavors, the olive oil used felt original - something super rare nowadays to find. Also if you visit the place, be ready to taste Italian the way it should be. I was impressed.
As for the service and atmosphere, I didn't feel anything stands out. Honestly not super impressed but there is nothing in particular to complain. Simply put I have had better gestures when visiting a place matching La Fontana stature in the Greater Seattle area. Since this dinner was to celebrate a birthday, they could have maybe made dessert complimentary.
Tables around the fountain really add to the ambience of this restaurant. We were seated inside though, felt like one was dining in Italy, very rustic interiors. Service was good, they checked on our table several times. Food was good, though the quantities were too much. Enjoyed my pesto pasta. Risotto could be better. Deserts were decent. All in all, a good date night spot.
We wanted to visit in September but there were no tables available until November. This place was worth the hype! The atmosphere was wonderful. It was 45° outside but they had heaters outdoors, and we sat near the fountain. It was a Saturday night but our server, Jeff, was attentive and gave great recommendations!
Make sure to ask what the specials are. The food was delicious; it was the best Italian food we've had in Seattle. We will definitely return soon.
