    We celebrated our daughter-in-law’s birthday at La Fontanella Ristorante this evening. The four of us each had different appetizers and entrees. We were all very happy with our choices. All the entrees were piping hot and delicious. Our server, Hunter was attentive but non intrusive. The birthday girl was offered her choice of dessert. It was a lovely evening we hope to return soon.

    Our server did a good job. I would just recommend that they review the daily drink & food specials with all staff before opening. Music was a nice touch. The food was delicious. I had salmon and it was cooked perfectly.

    This is our 4th or 5th visit to Pezzo's. We love their pizza, but want to try the entrees too. Waiter told us about some drink specials Tonight it was Tito's. The table did some Vodka tonics and martinis. Every time the staff has been very friendly including greetings when we enter and exited. Lots of parking; the neon lighting and music add to the ambience. And the bar is huge!
