Enjoyed a wonderful lunch with family. Many lunch specials offered (and most include soup or salad), in addition to regular menu. The bread here is to die for- crusty exterior with soft, chewy interior. Service was friendly and efficient, and all food items were prepared exactly as ordered. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

Old schiol Italian joint hiding in plain sight. Excellent specials, great quality and tasty. Staff was on point! Wine list needs an update and decor could use a refresh but hey GO for the food and you will leave , no doubt! Looking forward to the old school chicky parm, and definitely gonna hit up the lunch menu next time!

Local Italian restaurant. Always crowded with great food and friendly service like you are eating with family. Just added a scrumptious lavender cake to the dessert menu !

La Fontanella on Route 303 in Tappan is a fantastic restaurant. The food is great, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service is friendly and attentive. The restaurant is very clean and beautifully decorated. The menu is amazing and includes a children’s menu as well. We were especially impressed that they were able to accommodate us on a Saturday at 5 PM. I highly recommend La Fontanella!

Outstanding food in an unexpected place. The service was exceptional. The night we went, they had several large parties, which may explain why they ran out of some things by 8 pm (veal & the creme brulee special dessert for the night). Our only complaint was the noise level, which, again, may have been due to the large parties in the room, but the two people with me developed headaches; one had to “go sit in the bathroom for 5 quiet minutes.” The bathroom situation was a bit confusing – 2 dedicated women’s room (single stall) & 1 accessible bathroom (also single stall) for both males & females. Even so, we highly recommend going for the food and the service!

This is our “go to place”. Cathy and Sal are amazing. BEST meatballs around! Amazing drinks. They treat you like family. Food is consistently awesome. So grateful we have a place like this close to home that we can relax and enjoy great food. You will not be disappointed!

Great service friendly people. I definitely will go back soon.

We love La Fontanella in Tappan – it feels like one of those places you can bring anyone to and know they’ll leave happy. The food is always spot-on, but what really stood out this time was how much my daughter enjoyed it. Watching her dive into her plate like it was the best thing ever pretty much sealed it. This place isn’t just great for adults, it’s awesome for kids too. A true neighborhood gem.

Really good food. Nice atmosphere. Clean. The staff & service is always a hit or miss. Sometimes you get attitudes sometimes you get friendly faces. Week day evenings is best to go if you want a quiet & quickly served dinner. Weekends and holidays gets super crowded and service becomes a bit unreasonably slow – for example this past new years eve we waited over 2hrs for food. We come often- its local- food is great- and again people will be people so maybe just a bad day? It hasn’t been anything major enough to stop us from coming but there is definitely room for improvement. Also quick mention the prices are very reasonable. I have fed 8 people (including steak dinners) for right around $300 with tip just to give some perspective. So overall worth it for now.
