" My friends and I decided to try out Fontina Grille after hearing so much about it. While the atmosphere did not match the expectations, the food was delicious! We had pizzas and pasta, and both were very fresh. The flavors were on point, and the service was friendly. Though the wait time was a bit long, it was tolerable given the quality of the meal. I’ll be back for sure to explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I made a reservation for a Saturday dinner and was pleased with the service. Our waiter was very attentive without hovering. The food was delicious; I particularly loved the fresh bread paired with olive oil — a simple yet wonderful touch! Their pasta options are extensive, and I enjoyed the fettuccine alfredo, which was rich and creamy but not overwhelmingly so. The atmosphere is vibrant but not too loud. Always a good option for dinner! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came in for a dinner with friends, and we had a wonderful evening! The service was fabulous, and we had a lovely waiter who made great recommendations. The food was tasty, particularly the seafood pasta! Portion sizes were more than satisfying, and we all had room to spare for dessert. The atmosphere was pleasant, though rather bouncy, which added to the overall lively vibe. I would definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I tried Fontina Grille last night, and it was quite a treat. The service was wonderful from start to finish. I had the seafood risotto, which was packed with flavor, while my husband enjoyed a hearty pasta dish. The olive oil and bread served at the start was a fabulous complement! We lingered over dessert that was just sublime. I will be recommending this place wholeheartedly to friends as our experience surpassed expectations! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot say enough good things about Fontina Grille. This place is a hidden gem! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles. The service is impeccable — our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and suggested dishes that truly impressed us. The seafood risotto was light and flavorful, and my partner loved the chicken marsala. Although the prices are slightly higher for some dishes, the quality makes it worth it. We felt full but not overstuffed, a sign of well-balanced portions. Definitely planning to return soon, especially for their dessert! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me start by saying the seafood cioppino was out of this world! While it might not have been the most traditional preparation I've encountered, it still tasted fantastic. The combination of flavors was incredible, and the seafood was fresh. The service was admirable; our waiter was attentive without being overwhelming. The atmosphere felt inviting, although it could be quite lively during peak times. Portion sizes were generous, and I left feeling extremely satisfied. I highly recommend Fontina Grille to anyone seeking a well-rounded Italian dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for a casual yet delightful dining experience, Fontina Grille is the place! A family-friendly environment, with attentive staff who always make us feel welcome. We ordered various dishes, including their famous steakhouse pizza and seafood pasta, and everything was fresh and bursting with flavors. I particularly loved the homemade bread served with olive oil — a nice touch! The ambiance is lively but can get a bit noisy during peak hours, so keep that in mind. Overall, a great spot for any Italian food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)
