About La Fontana Authentic Italian Restaurant SC

La Fontana Authentic Italian Restaurant SC, now called Ciao Bella, continues to offer a family-friendly atmosphere and good pasta at an affordable price. It remains a great spot for a casual lunch or a date for those in long-term relationships. The service is friendly, with many customers noting the staff's professionalism. The house-made bread is still a highlight, available upon request, but salads are not included with meals.

The restaurant features some classic dishes, with many customers enjoying meals like veal piccata and the chef's special of Salmon, clams, and mussels on fettuccine, which has been praised as excellent. The food is reported to be perfectly cooked and seasoned, with large portions. The gnocchi continues to be highly regarded, with some claiming it is as good or better than in Italian restaurants elsewhere.

While the restaurant can be loud when crowded and the wait staff can become overwhelmed, particularly when the restaurant is busy, the atmosphere is described as nice. The wine selection still offers good Italian options at reasonable prices. Although the exterior looks modest, many find it worth visiting for its delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and the phenomenal drinks crafted by bartender Tessa, who has impressed many with her recommendations.

This was absolutely the worse meal I’ve ever had dining out. My meal (Chicken Marsala) was inedible and disgusting. After letting the server know and sending it back, I was still charged for the meal. Over priced, tasteless, completely disgusting. I would never suggest this establishment to anyone.
