    Fontana never fails to deliver and we've been regulars for more than ten years! The quality and presentation of the food is superb. An excellent, varied menu, including vegetarian options, and a comprehensive wine list. Staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful and the ambience is lovely. Fontana delivers a quality product. What's not to like?

    Food excellent - service not as good as usual. Just slow and hard to get attention of waiting staff.

    The food was outstanding. I had the prawn risotto followed by the steak and the tiramisu. All of these were very well cooked and presented, creating a very enjoyable meal. I will definitely be coming back.
