We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at La Fontana Della Citta last night . The space was very cozy, the service was top notch and the food was excellent! We enjoyed everything we tried, the Brussel Sprouts, Whipped Ricotta, Caesar Salad, Gnocchi, Flounder Francese, Seafood Pasta w/ a Creamy Mushroom Sauce and Tiramisu. It was a wonderful meal from start to finish!

Very cute and classic Italian place!! Perfect place to bring grandparents in Philly. Menu is smaller than it seemed online, but the food was amazing. My grandma was able to ask for fettuccine Alfredo even though it wasn't listed on the menu, and she LOVED it. Highly recommend for a cozy Italian meal!!
