La
Fontanella's
walls are lined
with photographs,
reviews and awards.
A small casual bar
on your right as
you continue to
the small dining
room of this 31
year-old spot has
a charming, old-world
feel thanks to the
red and green checkered
tablecloths and
flower rimmed dishes
that adorn the tables.
Homemade pastas,
the Spinach and
cheese raviolis
w/pesto are the
draw here, as the
sausage and peppers,
a variety of veal
dishes and chicken
Versuvio. The Crusty
bread from D'Amato's
bakery is served
warm. La Fontanella
makes kids feel
welcome too, with
crayons, kiddie
cocktails and child
size portions of
pastas.

"Traditional
Italian
eatery
has
its
heart
in right
place"
CHICAGO
SUN-TIMES-
March

"La
Fontanella
might
not
possess
all
the
glamour
of the
young,
upstart
Italian
eateries,
but
its
dedication
to tradition
and
good
honest
food,
should
keep
customers
coming
back
again
and
again."

"Owners
strive
to maintain
La Fontanella
quality...
This
is a
non-pretentious
authentic
Italian
Restaurant
and
which
for
the
most
part
is doing
well
with
it!
It definitely
merits
a visit."
