    a slice of cake on a plate

    I'm a regular here any cant believe I have never posted a review. Great local Italian restaurant with very good food. The sauce doesn't leave you with acid heartburn some places do and not overloaded with garlic and onions. They have a great weeknight dinner special for $27 which gets you an appetizer, main course and dessert. My go to is the chicken parm which is always nice and crispy but still juicy on inside. Opted for the spumoni this week. Also great fresh Italian bread

    Grouper
    Susan S.

    We totally forgot about La Fontana for years. So happy to have been back. The food was delicious. The decor may be a little dated but the service and food were amazingly delicious. The grouper special was mouthwatering. We were so full but just had to order the cheesecake. Can't wait to go back. And tbh, not super expensive.

    There is a bug in the food and in a drink. management said they didn't see it . No offer was made to discount meal or even offer an apology.

    I am extremely disappointed with my experience here. A bug was found in a drink and in the food served. Things happen however management insisted there was no bug and they did not see it and did not offer an apology or any reparation. The waiter was dismissive stating it was impossible. Nothing is impossible and no customer desires to find insects in their meal. We turned down the remainder of the food that was paid for and left. Dine at your own risk.

    Nasty Asparagus
    Gabriella N.

    **Writing on behalf of my sister** If I can give no stars I would, well maybe 1/2 just for the Broccoli Rabe, it actually had garlic and a miniscule amount of taste. I decided to order out tonight because it was late and I didn't have much time to cook so I ordered an order the following: 2 pieces of fried chicken cutlets (plain) 4 pieces of fried Veal (plain) Side of Broccoli Rabe Side of Asparagus Total = $90 (For What??????) I never complain about cost, however $90 for what exactly? I understand Veal is expensive but for 4 small pieces defiantly shouldn't be more then $30. Then aside from the cost, the asparagus sat in oil and lacked flavor. The fried chicken cutlets had absolutely NO flavor, not salt, not cheese, NOTHING. The Broccoli Rabe was swimming in water but like I said earlier in my review it had some flavor of garlic. Needless to say I will never order out from this restaurant again and will not ever go into the restaurant again. The last time we sat in for dinner it smelled like mildew and was not worth it. What I don't understand is why it looks so busy every night, how do they stay in business?

    Dinner is alway great at this restaurant. The chef is Willing to make just about anything you request. Food is fresh. They always have specials. The staff is great very nice and helpful. Always a great place for dinner

    Shrimp cocktail

    Wanted something different then the usual places for our special Anniversary (35 yrs)! First. They made us feel special with everyone wishing us well. The food was delish .......wanted to try Spadini because it is a fave thing of mine. Had some onion soup snd my husband had shrimp cocktail. For main course we both had veal spadini romana (veal with prosciutto and mozzarella. All were done to perfection! The menu was varied with plenty of choices in each category. The alcohol drinks were also great. Jeff was one of the wait staff. Ty fir a treat if dessert! Prices very reasonable. Worth the try......we will go back.

    Came here on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving with a friend because we got burned at DeLucia's…read moreBrick Oven Pizza in Raritan (they ran out of dough, the heck). This wine bar is way too cute for its own good. My friend and I split the Truffle Fries and the Cheese and Bread Charcuterie Board -- I always finish my food and I could not finish this. Make sure you have 3 people to tackle it. Like another patron said, this place is intimate and loud at the same time. They only have one bottle menu somehow in 2025, so you might have to wait a little to see it. Just saying. I think they only had 2 people working somehow, but we didn't have to wait egregiously for anything. Overall, highly recommend!

    This is a combo review of 2 visits. As they were both FIVE STARS you'll be okay…read more Visit one: Last month I was feeling frisky ::meow:: after a work event at the courthouse and wasn't ready to go home. I literally said to myself as I drove around Somerville that I wish there was a wine or cocktail bar for...mature people like myself to chill at. So I looked up wine bars and boom - VintEdge was right down the street. I came in around 9pm, picked a comfy seat by the window, and ordered. Can you believe I had never had an espresso martini until that evening?? So my first was a pumpkin espresso martini. Well I may have had 2. And another drink. Ahem. The service was great, not fussy, and I wasn't rushed even as we approached last call. Visit 2: having heard about my great experience there alone, my cousin arranged to meet me there last week. Or so she thought. Through a series of mutual miscommunications, I was here at the crib waiting for her, while she was at the wine bar waiting for me. Once we figured that out, she got us some food to go and we ate here at home. Verdict: -excellent seating options - stools, couches, chairs -food is so so good. Tartare, truffle fries. Fig jam pizza -drinks include awesome bottles and seasonal takes on old favorites This could be my new spot.

    Very Chill Vibes…read more The coupe is one of the only places in Staten Island you can go to get real cocktails after hours. They have great mixologist that actually take pride in their work. I got a Sazerac with cognac, I usually get that but this time they didn't have Pierre Ferran for they only had Ansac. I personally don't care for Ansac so I believe it totally changed the taste of the drink. The bartender could tell. I didn't like it and he asked me about four times " Are you sure I change it? It doesn't matter." I'm like if you're gonna ask me that many times then let's change it. So I got a sidecar and that was fire.

    I love this place. It feels like a secret place cause if you don't know it's there you might walk…read morepast it. The drinks are great and priced fairly. The bartender made a special drink for my friend since she was unsure of what she wanted so we told the bartender to make her something special. The ricotta and honey spread was fantastic I absolutely loved it. The staff was nice. The ambiance was beautiful and quiet but still lively with music in the background loud enough to hear but not overpowering. Very nice place. Almost want to gatekeep so it doesnt become too crowded but I really do think it's only fair to give them their flowers and a very nice review! 8/10 recommend.
