" I had a lovely evening at La Vecchia Fontana. The seafood was fresh and well-prepared. However, I did think it was a bit loud at times, which made conversation difficult. Our server did his best, but at times, service felt slow. Overall, I had a great meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I dined alone at La Vecchia Fontana, and it made me realize how great this restaurant is for solo diners too! I ordered the seafood risotto, and although it took longer than expected to arrive, it was definitely worth the wait. The overall dining experience left me feeling satisfied and delighted. I will come again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had dinner last night and although the food was good, the service was where we experienced some issues. It took a while to get our orders taken and even longer for our food to arrive. Nonetheless, the ambiance made for a pleasant dining experience. I might return, but I hope for better service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" We were excited to try La Vecchia Fontana after hearing great things, but sadly, our experience fell short. The server seemed overwhelmed and it took ages for our food to arrive. The portions were smaller than expected for the price, and while the taste was fine, it didn’t blow me away. Perhaps we just visited on an off night, but I doubt I'll rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Vecchia Fontana is truly a hidden gem! Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor, particularly the Osso Buco—cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was cozy yet lively, making it great for both family dinners and intimate gatherings. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. Definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" This Italian restaurant is like a second home to me! The staff knows me by name and always greets me warmly. My favorite dish is the seafood linguine. It's abundant and tastes amazing! A must-try for anyone who appreciates authentically prepared Italian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to La Vecchia Fontana several times, and it never disappoints. The lobster ravioli is my go-to dish, always fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly, especially Mario, who always makes me feel welcome. The only downside is that it can get busy, so I recommend making a reservation. Overall, a fantastic dining experience!
