- NNataliePhiladelphia County •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoI went to La Fontana Della Citta for lunch today and what an experience! Our server Ona recommended the calamari for an appetizer and we were so impressed. The sprinkled feta cheese was a nice touch. Our main entrees blew us away too, no complaints. The star of the show was the service! Ona was there to answer any questions we had about the menu and check up on us throughout our meal. There was never a time we needed her where she wasnt there! Exceptional service, we can not say enough good things about her! I will be taking all of my friends and family to this restaurant and asking for Ona every time!More infoLa Fontana Della CittaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Rittenhouse Square•4.2
- MMichelleNew York City •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThe ambience and the food was delicious. The penne pasta and the mushroom risotto with shrimp was out of this world. The calamari was one of the best calamari that I’ve had in a long while the fish was fresh and cooked perfectly. I wished my eggplant Parmesan was a little bit Center, as I saw the chicken Parm was very flat. That’s just how I like it. Our server Clint was exceptional. I would definitely tell people to visit this restaurant and I can’t wait to return myself. The BYOB was perfect.More infoOsteria Ama PhillyPrice: Moderate• Italian• Center City•4.5
