This is my favorite place for French-Italian cuisine! The food is consistently delicious!
The staff was friendly and helpful!
My guests included people who tried French -Italian cuisine for the first time. They were extremely satisfied with the food. The tastes were not overpowering. Each dish had a unique flavor!
I enjoyed the complementary bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Wish the bread was served hot!
In the appetizers, crab cakes were delicious!
In the main course, I would highly recommend trying the mushroom ravioli.
I will definitely visit this place again!

Flavorful food served with friendly service and hospitality in the hustle and bustle of downtown Mountain View. Excellent cocktails line up and wine selection to complement a nice menu.
Dishes were presented in creative ways with generous portions. Our group had a wonderful meal.
My favorite was the grilled octopus, truffle fries, and duck breast. Highly recommend!

I really liked the vegetarian options, cocktails and ambience. My favorite item was the mushroom ravioli. The desserts and cocktails were also very good, I recommend the chocolate temptation if you’re a chocolate fan and the tiramisu was also good. I also tried the the vegetarian and golden margherita pizzas, and angel hair pomodoro pasta and they were also good (recommend the ravioli over all of them though). Definitely one entee per person based on the portion sizes. For starters, the pistachio crusted goat cheese is worth it if you haven’t tried before. Good ambience in a busy location.

The food was delicious! I loved the warm toasted bread with an earthy blend of herbs and olive oil, fresh flavors and textures of the strawberry spinach salad, and garlic crostini and seafood-infused tomato broth of the Bouillabaisse.
Our dishes came out fresh and quite soon after we ordered (~5 minutes or so) and the ambience was casual but elegant.

Enjoyed a lovely dinner here with coworkers! Parking in downtown Mt View is kinda nuts but the garage is close so def park there. Bread is fresh and a plenty! We had the bouillabaisse, beef and mash, pizza, ravioli and all was amazing. Service was also super friendly and a great overall atmosphere!

Great customer service. Staff are very attentive. They serve big portions here. We were there celebrating birthday and they were very accommodating. Appetizers were ok, the smoked salmon is too salty.
Excellent seared sea bass( we had to split the food since it was a big platter). The Halibut dish is so fresh here.

We went to this place to have Valentine’s dinner. Nice place decorated nicely. Expensive french restaurant but it was a Valentine’s dinner so we didn’t care about it. There was a special menu for the day. Very expensive. Food was average but the service was fantastic. Server was very good she took very good care of us. Parking is very easy to find. A free public parking is just behind the restaurant. Chicken was amazing. Desserts were fabulous. Tiramisu and chocolate sheet cake was the beat. Veggie risotto was not at all good. My taste pallet didn’t like it. But overall it was a good restaurant. They even gave me bunch of roses when leaving the restaurant. Pretty booked for the Valentine’s dinner.

I don’t visit Italian restaurants a lot but this place is great. The patio dine in is well maintained and the ambiance is beautiful. The hosts are super gracious. The food was fantastic and mouth watering. I am a person who is not into wines and the host was patient to explain which would be better and what taste would it give. There was no delay in serving the food and the plating of the food is excellent. Overall, awesome place to visit and to keep the taste buds happy!

Staff were very attentive and food was great. Very well prepared food and presented beautifully. Best Italian/French restaurant in MTV that I have had. However the dining room was too dark and people are sitting too close to each other to have private conversations. Also the portion sizes are not quite up to the standards given by the price, ie we were still hungry after spending >$70 per person. I would definitely try it again but the dishes I ordered I wouldn’t recommend if one’s on an empty stomach.

Chose this place for our Valentine’s Day lunch. The restaurant is located in the downtown so parking is scarce and have to walk 10-15 min depending on where you parked. The restaurant looks small from outside but it has lot of seating space and since we went on a weekday only 3-4 tables were occupied.
Started our lunch with Cream of Mushroom soup which was really good esp in this cold and rainy weather. They provided a basket of bread with a herb oil for side. Ordered L-Fromage De Chevre Aux Pistaches for starter, Grilled salmon for entree, La Fontaine pizza, Panna cotta & Lava cake for dessert. The started was really good. It had the pistachio crunchiness and the slight sweetness from the caramelised onion and honey. I was not much impressed with the grilled salmon. The quantity seemed less for the price and it came with veggies and mashed potato. The pizza had the thinnest crust I ever had with the right amt of tomato sauce and little topping. They were cut into 9 pieces and we took most of them home. The highlight was the dessert. The lava cake was yummy and came with sea sat caramel ice cream which just complimented the cake and carried it to the next level. The panna cotta comes with a berry sauce which we asked them to skip for us. The texture was so good and the right flavor.
Overall a good date place, friendly staff, adequate seating, just above average pricing and quiet ambience.
