😊🌟 Fontina Grill: Where Dining Becomes an Art Form! 🌟
If excellence could be served on a platter, Fontina Grill would be the Michelin-starred sculptor behind it. From the moment I walked in, I felt like royalty who somehow stumbled upon the holy grail of Italian restaurants in the DMV. I’m never going anywhere else, because clearly, this place was crafted by the pasta gods themselves.
Now, let’s talk about Declan. This man is not just a waiter—he’s a hospitality virtuoso, a maestro of service. Declan served with the kind of confidence, precision, and charm that one would expect only in dreams or in five-star Italian dining halls on the Amalfi Coast. His attentiveness was nonplussable (and yes, I dare you to try and outdo it). I wouldn’t be surprised if he moonlights as a diplomat or a secret agent because his service was that smooth.
Jennifer, his right-hand helper, deserves a standing ovation. She made everything seamless, adding warmth, grace, and an extra sparkle to an already stellar experience. I’m convinced they have some secret handshake, a dance of synchronized efficiency and care. It's like watching a beautiful duet—where plates and glasses are the choreography and customer delight is the standing ovation.
The food? Oh, bella vita! I had a salad so fresh, it may have whispered compliments back at me. My friend’s pasta dish was a carb-laden poem—tender, flavorful, and divine. Each bite was a crescendo of Italian bliss. Clearly, the kitchen staff channels their inner Da Vinci every time they plate a dish.
If this restaurant were a movie, it would sweep the Oscars. If it were a song, it would top the charts. If it were a unicorn, it would be the kind that sprinkles magic over your life.
To Declan, Jennifer, and the entire Fontina Grill team: Grazie mille ❤️! And "Un milione di grazie." 🌹🌹🌹 You made me feel special, seen, and incredibly grateful. Never changing. Ever.
IN SUMMARY:
**Fontina Grill is, without question, the pinnacle of Italian dining—an experience of unparalleled excellence. 🍷✨ Every detail, from the service to the cuisine, resonates with authentic passion and flawless execution. Simply put, it is the *apex* of EPIC Italian culinary artistry and the finest I have ever encountered. 🍝🌟**
You become alive when you have gone to Fontina Grill - or maybe you will even become a unicorn 🍀🌟🦄 ITALIAN MAGIC PIXIE DUST WILL FOLLOW YOU FOREVER 🙏

While the food appears somewhat decent from this restaurant, I cannot say the same for the staff or the service, for that matter. From the top down, the collective treatment of their own patrons is at once dismissive and deplorable. If you are seeking fine authentic Italian cuisine in a warm, welcoming, intimate setting- I would highly recommend going elsewhere.

Great selection of dishes and everything we tried was incredible. Large portions and a good wine list. So much food on the entree I couldn't even consider the dessert menu.

Debbie and Erica were excellent as always in the bar. Great pasta. The meatball app was a meal in itself. 3 huge meatballs. They let me make a change from fra diablo to marinara sauce.

Went for brunch. Haven't been to this restaurant in several years. Wasn't quite the same experience as the last time. Maybe brunch isn't their thing. Ordered steak and eggs med rare, came well done. Sent it back, came back completely rare no seasoning. Gave up on eating it as it was a disappointment at that point. Zucchini app was pretty good. Service throughout nit quite the best but not horrible. Was still charged for my meal which was a little offsetting. Offered a free desert at brunch was weird compensation. Overall spent almost $200.00 for two people all things mediocre and just ok.
Fontina Grill is the best Italian Restaurant in the area. They have a wide menu of delicious dishes and they are very open to accommodate any changes you may need to your dish. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the wait staff is excellent. Especially Reza who we ask for each time we visit this restaurant. Everyone welcomes you with a smile on their face and kind words This is our first choice for Italian Food.

I've always had a good experience when we've gone to Fontina Grille. My wife and I went during lunch on a Monday and had good food and attentive service. Most recently during a visit over the weekend, the service was excellent, even though they were fully booked. Never felt unattended.
