La Fontanella — Restaurant in Town of Orangetown

Really good food. Nice atmosphere. Clean. The staff & service is always a hit or miss. Sometimes you get attitudes sometimes you get friendly faces. Week day evenings is best to go if you want a quiet & quickly served dinner. Weekends and holidays gets super crowded and service becomes a bit unreasonably slow - for example this past new years eve we waited over 2hrs for food. We come often- its local- food is great- and again people will be people so maybe just a bad day? It hasn't been anything major enough to stop us from coming but there is definitely room for improvement. Also quick mention the prices are very reasonable. I have fed 8 people (including steak dinners) for right around $300 with tip just to give some perspective. So overall...

Delicious Italian food at very reasonable prices. The staff is friendly and the service is great. The owners and chef really go out of their way to make sure you have a good experience.

Wonderful customer service and more importantly,...

The best Italian food within 100 miles. I stopped traveling to NYC and Long Island for my favorite dish penne ala vodka made by sal himself.

The best authentic Italian. Food and the meat dishes are just as surprising. Seriously everything I’ve ever had here is amazing. Ever my time, too. Family owned and present 6 days...
