Quiet and oldschool restaurant with excellent service, with some modern twists on some French and Italian classics.

My hubby and I and our friends had a wonderful dinner here last night. Lovely place, great service and the food was excellent. We split a Cesar salad, I had the duck and hubby had the short ribs. My friends had the margarita pizza and the short ribs. Great wine list too. For dessert, we shared the crème brûlée and it was perfect. We will definitely be back!
My second time here - the appetizers and pastas are very tasty, we came back for the mushroom Ravioli and the Aranchini! We ordered Berry mousse cake and Tiramisu for dessert, and they were delicious! Will be a regular here!
We dined at La Fontaine on Christmas Eve. The food and the service were impeccable. So delicious! And everyone took such good care of me and my family. Every dinner at La Fontaine is a delight, but tonight was above and beyond. Thank you!
The food was terrible. They cant decide if they are a French or an Italian restaurant. We were looking for a good french meal. The fish wasnt prepared in the french way as described in the menu and the lamb chops were so overloaded with sweet stuff that youn coudnt taste the lamb. And the wine list was a joke for a french restaurant. We were very disappointed

It was the perfect place for our large group of 12. Service was excellent and everyone had something on the menu to meet their food preferences.
Excellent service and wide selection of vegetarian options. Delightful place.

Second time I've come here for a special occasion, still pleasantly surprised. Their French-Italian menu may not look that impressive on paper, but every single dish is remarkably good! Their espresso martini and caffe corretto are very good as well... 🙂
Five of us had different items from the menu. Everything was delicious. We had one vegan who very much liked the risotto. Good bottle of red wine and very nice appetizers. This is a restaurant that is on our regular dining out list and we have had nothing but excellent food every time we've eaten there.

Had a wonderful birthday lunch celebration for my friend, able to get a nice window seat. Food are tasty and big size! Manager kept refilling ice tea for me while I finished fast :) At the end got a very lovely tiramisu cake with candle for my friend's birthday! Will go there again!
For the overpriced place like this food was bland, small and nothing special. I got duck breast it came with 3 pieces of asparagus 😂. And I asked for veggies instead of rice. Veggies looked boiled and bland. Ambiance was plain, nothing special. I appreciated how empty it was though. It was nice to sit in peace without too many people around.

Great menu selections, food was delicious and came out fast. Appetizer portions are small so order several. Grilled octopus was delicious as were the arancini but the calamari were too thick and tough. Branzino, seafood pappardelle, mushroom truffle ravioli were very good but the star was actually the Cordon Bleu, two large stuffed chicken breasts were so juicy and tender. Also noteworthy was the beet salad. This is a small kitchen and amazed they can deliver so quickly. Service was also topnotch, our waiter happily accommodated with our requests and even took photos. Dishes cleared quickly. Located in the heart of Mtn View with outside seating (and a band was performing close by).
Great service, delicious food.
Thank you for cooking duck for our lunch 💕

Forget all those trendy restaurants. Our experience at this restaurant was superb. I highly recommend the Smoked Salmon Crostini and the Goat cheese with caramelized onions. Everything from the cocktails to the attentive server to the tiramisu was outstanding. And the prices were refreshingly reasonable. We will return!! Soon!
