New Times and a Yahoo review.
La Fontanella is owned by Isabella Mannone-Bertuccio and
has long been a Valley favorite. Mannone-Bertuccio is an native of Italy
and the restaurant attracts native Italians as well.
La Fontanella is not only one of the best Italian restaurants
in town, but it's also one of the most affordable. Most entrees can
be purchased for under $20.
The menu includes herb crusted rack of lamb, escargot,
homemade pasta with Sicilian semolina bread, homemade meatballs, and
homemade sausages.
