A bustling, independent restaurant located upstairs on Redfern Street.
Fontana serves Italian food from a frequently changing menu, wines made with care, a small selection of cocktails, and plenty of good times.
We have a small bar where walk-ins are always welcome.

    Very impressed with the dishes at Fontana. The ragu Bianco was a flavourful reduction of poultry goodness, the simplicity of the ricotta was delightfully delicious. Would like to see some quality plain bread as a staple on the ever changing menu. Dipping garlic bread into ricotta was a tad flavour overkill. Great vibe too! Will happily return to try more dishes.

    Exceptional Italian food with 5 Star service. Can’t wait to come back again. It’s so good to find a small restaurant that does service and food better than the big guys.

    We love Fontana. The changing menu always has reliable favorites as well as new variations on traditional Italian recipes. The food is just fantastic and the staff are great - they always make us feel special.

    Honestly one of the best restaurants I’ve been to recently. The food seems to be all about fresh seasonal produce which I LOVE ! Peaches and tomato salad was definitely the favourite for me. They were also so considerate and plated the pasta in 2 plates for me and my friend - it’s these little things ! can’t wait to come back again :)
