The service and the food was delicious. We will definitely eat here again when we visit Charleston. If you live here or plan on visiting Charleston and want good Italian food I highly recommend La Fontana Authentic Italian Restaurant. I ordered the Caesar Salad & the Lasagna Al Forno. My husband ordered the special, it had the Lasagna Al Forno, Chicken Parmesan, Eggplant Parmesan and Fettuccine Alfredo. He loved it all.
If you’re looking for good Italian food made by an Italian family that really knows what they’re doing this is the place to come. They have a sampler that will blow you away that includes four different types of food and each bite was better than the last. Everything that we have tried here has been amazing and on top of the food the owners are just so welcoming that you feel like you’re eating in a family home in the countryside of Italy. Highly recommended and don’t forget to get the bread…. it’s homemade and you have to be careful….you may just fill up on it and it would be a shame to not have room for desert.
Alfredo tasted like water mixed with some heavy cream, with noodles boiled far too long. Bolognese tasted like Hunts tomato sauce... Service wasn't great, took forever to be greeted and served. Will not be back.
We have lived in West Ashley for years and finally tried it. A bit disappointed by the atmosphere and service. Place is outdated and needs a good cleaning. We were sat in a booth with a curtain that had spatter stains on it and visible dust on the ledge and pictures. Server wasn’t over friendly but to the point… The best part was the appetizers…. Homemade Caesar was great and tomato basil soup was delicious. Our entrees were lack luster for it to be authentic and fresh… chicken parmesan was seasoned, and lasagna wasn’t anything special. Cannoli was nothing extraordinary.
I was so excited and then so disappointed. The outside of the restaurant seems outdated, so much so I didn't think it was opened. We went for dinner this week. The inside is not great but appeared clean. The waitress was fine, nothing overly friendly. She did not offer dessert (assuming they have it) or refills of our drink. She took our order, delivered the food and brought the check. The menu didn't offer basic Italian dishes like ravioli or lasagna and even the pasta was a fettuccine bolognese vs spaghetti. I think fettuccine is more suited for alfredo but that is just my opinion. That is what I got. The sauce was basic and not very flavorful. It was certainly not authentic. They have small plates on the table when you arrive but they do not offer bread with oil to start like every Italian restaurant I have ever been to. The real kicker was that if you want bread with your meal or I guess for the table it was $3 per person. Nothing screams nickel and dime them to death like $3 additional for bread. Just roll it into the price and offer it. The prices were higher than I expected but not awful. Overall it was a C- and I would not go back.
