LaVecchia Fontana is our favorite restaurant on the island. Always have a great meal here. The waitstaff are very pleasant and some are quite funny!! A Very comfortable atmosphere.

Pros: Delicious entrees including linguine with clams and veal Fontana. Generous portions. Prompt and polite service. Private parking lot. BYOB. Cons: “Background” music was too loud. AC vents above some tables were blasting cold air on our heads until server closed them. Pricey even without liquor.

Dinner was very tasty. The food came out steaming hot which I appreciate. Service was good as far as the food deliveries but slow when trying to pay the bill. Since we had no where else to be that was acceptable.

Never judge a book by it's cover. Outside appearance isn't much but the food and service inside is top notch. Had amazing seafood risotto, and burrata salad, cannoli was also great for desert. Service was attentive and friendly and food came at a good pace. Highly recommend.

Great meal all around. Salads, appies, seafood and meat entrees. Prices quite fair for being on the island. Friendly service. Easy parking. Had been a few years since we had last gone, but will be back sooner next time.

Our dinner was wonderful from start to finish. The appetizers and salads had generous portions and were a perfect start to our meals. The main courses were equally as delicious, and the Desserts a perfect ending. The service was amazing—the best we've had all summer. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality offered. Highly recommend!
Was looking for good food at a reasonable price in Avalon, which is typically the restaurants are all overpriced. However, this restaurant was a nice environment, with basic good food at a fair price. We enjoyed it very much, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend trying

Food and service were very good. The physical aspects are very tired, and give the appearance of being unkempt. In fact, they asked us to change tables out of concern the ceiling may begin to leak. Not suggesting they move - in fact we love that they are away from the busy part of Avalon - just think they or the landlord needs to put money into updating their space.

We ordered baked oysters that came frozen in the middle when we pointed it out to the server he brought us new ones that were cooked. It's a possibility that they don't exactly cook things fresh. But the food was very good. The main courses were good and the service was very good. Very limited wine list, they do not serve regular alcohol and overall it was a decent experience. I don't know that I would go back. I wasn't overly impressed. But it's a nice place to go to parking is limited

Food was fabulous! All pasta plates arrived piping hot and exceptionally well prepared. Caesar salads were substantial and crisp. (We have dined at Polpo, the sister-restaurant, many times, and food here was definitely a cut above) However, Polpo atmosphere is far superior. These chefs nail it each time!!!

Our meals were very good. We had the soft shell crab special which was done very well. The lobster ravioli was very tasty. The seafood pescatore was good but would have been better with fresh pasta. All the starter salads were large enough to be shared and very good. The bread served was stale.
Best food on the island, PERIOD!
