We organised a cosy birthday dinner for a friend at Fontana and it was the first time for all of us. We were not disappointed. The service was excellent, the noise level was just right, the ambience was great and the food was the winner. We could not fault any of the dishes.

This really is one of my favourite restaurants. The food is delicious; the cocktails are to die for; the staff are charming. Tip: make sure you get a serve of garlic bread per person. You will not want to share. This is the best garlic bread on the plant.
