I have spent one week in Waterford and this was the best food restaurant I had a chance to visit, taste wise. Very well prepared, real Italian like.

M. P.

Lovely restaurant, have gone there twice recently and have got steak both times, cooked very skilfully, and really liked the wedges. The last time I ordered garlic bread and ribeye steak from the early bird. The steak was some of the best I’ve ever had, even better than their fillet steak in my opinion. The peppercorn source was lovely too

C. R.

Had a lovely experience at La Fontana last night. The food was excellent. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and efficient. I will most definitely visit again.

A. F.

We had an amazing meal in La Fontana last night, the food was absolutely first class. When in Waterford highly recommend you visit, ambience was great along with all the super staff and owners, truly fab night, thanks so much

A lovely, friendly restaurant with amazing food. Loved it!

D. O.

Good food, great service. Bit pricy and not massive amounts of extras with my two dishes. Dessert quite nice and could do with more drink options.

A. C.

I can’t recommend enough this Italian place! Food is so tasty and prices are very reasonable! We had some fried cheese with honey for starter and pasta as main, both were beautiful!

J. C.

I love this restaurant. Great food. Evan asking for a dish not on the menu is no trouble to them. 💜

We have eaten here a few times this year, it's a very nice little restaurant with a good menu and very friendly staff. We had our newborn baby with is and the staff were very accommodating. The house wine is delicious and goes well with the menu too.

I visited Waterford in late June 2019 - as a young teenage lad I lived there with my grandmother for a year in 1959. I booked a table for four at La Fontana for myself, wife and two teenage kids. The service was excellent, very friendly staff, the manager / owner was friendly too and kept a close eye on us diners to make sure everybody was happy. The food was absolutely delicious, I asked for a glass of red wine and a very large glass emerged - who am I to refuse it? A very nice, friendly restaurant with great ambience that would definitely recommend to others. Tom Power Hertfordshire UK

Really good food and service.

S. C.

I never leave reviews and I haven't been here in a year, but I visited Waterford last year and we went to this restaurant on a whim, loved it and decided to go back the very next night. I haven't stopped thinking about it since. Go! And order some kind of seafood because it's so fresh. Also the staff were some of the nicest I've ever come across.

C.

It's ok, I wasn't blown away. The staff are lovely.

Great service great food great everthing not much else to stay friendly staff though I am making an edit to the review. I went there again and the service and food where better then before, I will bump it up to 5 stars

A.

Great atmosphere, with Italian owner meeting and greeting you at the entrance but also keeping a close eye on the service to ensure each guest gets top quality experience. We visited around Easter and got traditional Italian columba slices complimentary after the meal which was nice treat. Tasty food and very attentive staff so highly recommend.

k. f.

My first time there and I am always skeptical when visiting new restaurants Very cosy, lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. It was very busy but the food and service were great. Well worth popping in for some nice food and friendly chat. Authentic and memorable

M. F.

Excellent tasty food, exceptional service to perfection, very friendly staff.. I'll go back there many times again..

A. M.

If you're looking for a proper authentic Italian restaurant experience, this is one of two spectacular Italian restaurants in the city. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The food is immaculate and the specials are creative and rotate daily. Paired with a wonderful view of the Quay and river, La Fontana definitely satisfies beyond expectations.

L. G.

Sublime Best Italian meal I have eaten in years, Italy included. Great menu, great food, excellent staff and well priced. Can't recommend it enough. I'm already looking forward to going back next time I'm in Waterford. Well done.

Was a couple of weeks ago. Best pizza have had in a long time. Waiter mentioned he was from the home of pizza. He did not dissapoint. Cappriciosa was absolutely on point. The prawn pasta dish was fantastic. Will definitely be back. And all extremely reasonably priced

The best Italian in Waterford in my opinion. Wonderfully friendly staff, great menu with specials that always grab my attention. Cosy environment with nice decor. Opens on Mondays too, which is a bonus in Waterford.

From the moment we walked in this was a great experience. Warm and friendly staff, amazing food, great deserts and smooth jazz playing to top it off. We've been in Ireland for a week and this was far and away the best meal we've had.

(Translated) Those who like to eat Italian should take a closer look at this restaurant. Here, too, we spontaneously arrived and were greeted warmly. A cozy little shop invites you to Italian food. The prices are normal, but the portions are quite small. It was really great in terms of taste. The waiters are nice and accommodating, here you feel really comfortable. We would come back. (Original) Wer gern mal italienisch isst, sollte sich dieses Restaurant mal genauer anschauen. Auch hier sind wir spontan eingekehrt und wurden gleich herzlich empfangen. Ein gemuetlicher kleiner Laden laedt hier zum italienischen Essen ein. Die Preise sind normal, doch die Portionen schon recht klein. Dafuer war es geschmacklich echt super. Die kellner sind nett und zuvorkommend, hier fuehlt man sich wirklich wohl. Wir wuerden wiederkommen.
