We had a 5:15 PM reservation and arrived on time. About 60% of the outdoor tables were empty, and the host even asked if we preferred outdoor or indoor. Moments later, a manager came over and said our reservation was “for the restaurant, not specifically outdoor,” and that only indoor seating was available.
When we said we’d wait for an outdoor table, he refused, insisted every single one was booked for the night, and then bluntly told us: “We don’t serve you.”
Meanwhile, other guests were seated outdoors without issue. The whole interaction felt dismissive, unprofessional, and left us with the strong impression that some customers are valued more than others.

Haven't been here in years and years and honestly it was just as good. Had great staff, a tasty meal with some friends, and the vibes midweek in the outside space were fantastic. Very different Italian menu options than a lot of town has and that's a good thing.

Went here for a friend’s birthday party yesterday and wasn’t impressed. The food was bland and the service wasn’t great either. The only reason I gave this place two stars was because of the atmosphere.

La Fontana has been one of my favorite spots since the first time I stumbled across it 3 years ago. The ambiance, service and food are spectacular. I look forward to visiting every time I’m in Seattle.

Enjoyed an early evening dinner with my wife. We were welcomed by the owner and server. Excellent service and wonderful food. We enjoyed dining at a table in the courtyard by the fountain and will definitely be back.

We were weary from walking all over Seattle and this little Pearl of a restaurant caught our eye. With the help of an early reservation we were able to sit in their charming courtyard right by the fountain. The service and menu recommendations by Jeff were Spot on! And the hospitality of owner Saulo simply added to a perfect evening.
Upon entering we were greeted enthusiastically by Rodrigo. A nice beginning to an outstanding experience. The waiter gave us his undivided attention answering all of our questions and giving his recommendations. The most important part of the dinner, the food, was absolutely delicious!! I had cheese ravioli and I say without hesitation it was the best I have ever had!! The sauce was magnificent. The desserts shared by the table were a huge success also. This is a restaurant you should not miss.

The owner Rodrigo and waiter Christian were absolutely excellent! Couldn't ask for better service. The food was awesome! And the atmosphere was perfect, it's a quaint brick and wrought iron place with white tablecloths and a real candle (you didn't see that these days). The outside seating was beautiful too with a nice water fountain. The desserts were wonderful too! We may go back tomorrow!!

Rodrigo was an outstanding host during our visit here, and I highly recommend Capitale pizzeria as he also split his time there as well apparent. Ray was a great server and appreciated his conversation and positive attitude. Food and atmosphere was outstanding
