Hosteria La Fontana Ristorante Pizzeria — Restaurant in Domodossola

Carissimi! Don't be fooled by the book's, er, the cook's cover. It's a bit worn-looking outside and dark inside, but it's spotless (also the bathroom, so mi raccommando! behave yourselves!). Authentic everything with owner Mario's smiling generosity. Wood burning oven churning out the Real Pizza that doesn't leave you thirsty. Super fresh cozze / mussels every Friday and Saturday. The almost overflowing oil laced with peperoncino in the ceramic jar with its perfect top.

Mario is multilingual: Italian, Valais French, and German as the base. He's also super-friendly, and runs a tight food and entertainment ship with events! Qui si mangia come una volta, with quality and price ratio. We danced before entering when we saw fresh mussels tucked on the bottom left of the varied, focused menu posted outside. Such menus are traditional with the advantage that you can only eat Well in such a no-nonsense, no useless frills Osteria . . . including the most reasonable €25 bill for two. A good sign: Regulars like the border police and local tourist guides.

After you've packed away your robust serving of fresh cozze, pizza, pasta etc. all washed down with my fave wine, Primitivo di Manduria, you will be in an excellent mood to either experience Domodossola or drag your bags and tackle the station's platform stairs. But given La Fontana's lightening quick service, the only things you will have to wait for will be your train and your next trip to this town. After arriving in the station, you can make a beeline for La Fontana, only a 10 minute walk going left after exiting the majestic station and stopping at the vertical sign about 200 meters later on your right. N.B. An extra star for Mario's gentlemanly customer caretaking: He saved us from parking fines by urging us to put our cardboard time card on our dashboard. Mi raccommando! However, don't expect such service on Monday as La Fontana is closed that day! So plan your trip in advance and sit back to receive. See ya soon, Mario! And Grazie...

3 of us dropped by as the restaurant came up on Google within walking distance of our accomodation in Domodossola as well as being open late. The place had good reviews so we decided to go for it. We were well greeted by an elderly at the front desk. There is no need to order table upfront and this Tuesday evening very few guests were there. We decided to have our food indoors but outdoor dining is slso availsble. We were shown to our table by a young man that also took our order. We ordered drinks, beer, water and cola, all delivered quickly. Whe then all ordered the same pizzas, unfortunately I cannot remember the name of it, that had mozzarella, rucola, spicy salami, chili peppers and some more. As with the drinks, short wait for the pizza and the pizza maker himself brought out some chili oil an pepper for us to add. Now.. a conclusion after this long story... right out fantastic pizzas. If you are in the neighborhood or are ready to take a ride for a good pizza in a clean and good environment with great service... be sure to visit...

Nous avons déjeuné à cinq à Hosteria La Fontana Ristorante Pizzeria et avons passé un excellent moment. Voici notre expérience :

Entrée : J'ai opté pour une salade mêlée. Malheureusement, la sauce était trop vinaigrée, ce qui la rendait un peu trop aigre à mon goût. Plat Principal : J'ai choisi une pizza capricciosa, qui était vraiment délicieuse, bien garnie et avec une pâte parfaite. Vin : Nous avons accompagné notre repas avec du vin rouge de la maison, qui était correct sans être exceptionnel. Apéritif : En apéritif, nous avons pris un spritz chacun, un classique bien exécuté. Digestif : Pour finir, nous avons apprécié un limoncello offert par la maison, une attention très appréciée.

Le service a été impeccable tout au long de notre repas, avec un personnel attentif et sympathique. Le restaurant est situé dans un sous-sol, mais dispose également d'une petite terrasse, ce qui ajoute un charme supplémentaire. En termes de prix, c'était très raisonnable, offrant un excellent rapport qualité-prix.

En résumé, malgré une petite déception avec la sauce de la salade, nous avons passé une agréable pause déjeuner à Hosteria La Fontana Ristorante Pizzeria. Je le recommande pour un repas entre amis...
