La Fontana in Waterford

Great welcome from the staff. Very comfortable and clean. Good varried menu. Delicious food.

We popped in here after enjoying some pre-Christmas activities in Waterford city. We didn’t have a booking but it was no problem. Staff were very friendly and the food was really good, especially the pizza. Only downside was we were seated in a room at the back of the restaurant on our own as the front part was full so we couldn’t feel the ambience really and we arrived for an early dinner so that part of the restaurant was colder than the front. Aside from that, the food was very tasty. Pretty pricey I thought but the quality did not disappoint.

We where in Waterford for a weekend and we ended up to the "La Fontana" by change and we were lucky to find a table because they had a last minute cancellation, other wise it was fully booked. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was nice. We ordered pizza, and few starter. Our son asked a "Bolognese" and we had also 2 desserts. Everything was good and tasty. The bill was not so cheap, but we are talking about an Italian restaurant and the price is on the average for this kind of restaurant. Recommended.

As always la Fontana never disappoints both the staff and the food are too class

We have often visited this restaurant over several years and always enjoyed it. Parking sometimes difficult but table service is good. They move premises at end of December to corner of next block.

The pizza dough, cheese and tomatoes were delicious. The salt content of the ingredients was very good. The atmosphere is very sweet. Also the staff is friendly and sweet.

Great food and friendly service

Wonderful Experience. The room is cozy and welcoming. Staff are professional and knowledgeable but friendly. Service and food exceptional. Best meal in a long time. Will be back!

This place is a real gem. It's welcoming, offers very friendly service and serves exceptional food. My wife's nut allergy was dilligently catered for and we felt as though we were in safe hands. We always find that a mark of a good restaurant is the quality of the bread and coffee. Both were top quality and our server was very pleased to see us mop up the sauce on our starter with the bread! That starter was the gamberi alla Fontana and is just a delight if like me, you love the taste of chorizo in top quality oil. We had the spaghetti allo scoglio and the tagliatelle mare e monti which were both fantastic. The creamy tomato sauce on the tagliatelle was not at all heavy and had a great lightly balanced tomato flavour. Perfect portion sizes too. All this was accompanied by a great Italian white from La Fontana's small wine selection. We rarely have dessert so skipped straight to espresso macchiato and warmed brandy. If you're concerned about not being able to get to sleep after a late night coffee, try the decaf - it was amazing! This place isn't cheap but we certainly didn't regret paying a little extra for such a wonderful experience. Judging by the fact that it was early on a Monday evening and it completely filled up, it seems that we're not the only ones who think that way!
