Went to Fontana di Vino with my wife .
What an amazing experience!!!
Roman, our server, was extremely professional and knowledgeable, guiding us through the menu with his recommendations.
We started with the mozzarella condimenti burrata, and the fried calamari. Both outstanding. Quality of the ingredients was truly top notch, I especially enjoyed the lemon sauce they served with the calamari. After that we had a pasta dish each. One was the truffle pasta, absolutely recommended it was a mix of cacio and pepe flavors with a modern twist and added Molise imported truffle. The other was pasta alle vongole, a dish usually very hard to make right. They nailed it! We finished the dinner with some gelato for dessert (try the pistacchio) and tiramisu, both excellent and creamy.
Two traditional espresso to crown a perfect italian dining experience! Chef Scott did an amazing job and came to check on us.
Complimenti!!! We will DEFINITELY be back!!
These guys truly understand italian flavors and surprised us beyond expectations with every dish!

What an amazing experience. Roman was a delight and a wealth of knowledge on the menu. The manager sat and talked with out table for 10 minutes just to make sure we had a great experience. I highly recommend Fontana Di Vino for any occasion.

About 10 of my colleagues and I gathered for a phenomenal dinner tonight at Fontana DiVino. Each course of the meal was mouthwatering. The service was impeccable. We did not have to ask for anything. Our waiter, Roman, anticipated our requests and is hands down the best server I have ever had in the area.

We had such a great experience at Fontana Di Vino in South Park! The space is absolutely gorgeous—open, airy, and super inviting. Our server, Roman, was the highlight of the evening. Not only was he friendly and knowledgeable, he also made one of the best dirty martinis I’ve ever had (bonus points for the blue cheese olives!).
My friend and I shared the polenta pour, which honestly deserves to be Instagram-famous. Beautiful presentation and totally delicious. The Caesar salad was super crisp with amazing homemade dressing, and the fried calamari was fresh and perfectly crispy—not at all gummy like so many others.
One of the standouts was the Mozzarella Condimenti board: basil pesto, romesco, olive tapenade, burrata, and ciabatta crostini—every bite was incredible.
Their wine list is also top-tier—lots of amazing options. We were too full for dessert, but they had the cutest little candy section on the way out where you can grab a few treats to-go.
Highly, highly recommend. Can’t wait to go back!

I took a while to think about how to phrase this, because the place really does make a good first impression.
Visually, the restaurant looks very nice. The interior is beautiful, and it feels like the concept was meant to be stylish and refined. At first, you expect to relax and enjoy the experience. Unfortunately, that feeling doesn’t last long.
The main issue is the staff. The waiters were extremely disappointing: unprofessional, tactless, and clearly unfamiliar with their own menu. I asked for a sweet white wine and was offered a Sauvignon Blanc, which is dry and acidic. That alone says a lot. And this wasn’t an isolated moment — the same lack of knowledge and attention showed up throughout the evening.
On the positive side, the cocktail was decent. No complaints there. But that’s about it. The service was poorly timed, the communication felt cold and at times even rude, and overall there was a sense that guests were more of an inconvenience than a priority.
It’s also important to mention the pricing. Dinner comes out to around one hundred dollars per person — and this is without ordering a main course. We had one appetizer, one salad, one dessert, and one cocktail, and the total was $97 per person. For that price point, expectations for service and professionalism are naturally much higher.
In the end, there’s a strange contrast: the restaurant looks elegant and upscale, but the level of service doesn’t match at all. In my opinion, management really needs to rethink their approach to hospitality and staff training if they want to maintain a high-end image.
At this moment, I wouldn’t recommend this place. There is potential, but it’s very poorly executed.

There are so many things to review here. The portions are small so if you’re a big eater definitely order some appetizers.
The service was very good and the staff was pleasant.
They ran out of a few different pastas but the manager sent over an appetizer of fried calamari which was EXCELLENT!
The entres do not come with any pasta which we found odd.
My wife wanted hot tea which they didn’t have.
Overall a great staff but the menu needs some adjusting for sure.

The only reason I gave this review 5 stars is because of Roman. He makes the best Negronis in Charlotte and he so personable. Just love him!
The training of staff is lacking and that is management/owner fault. The staff is always friendly. However, you can’t charge these prices and lack in proper service. Overall food is good but agree with other comments that some dishes need more. This could be a great place, but needs management and tweaking the food preparation!

Visited with several friends and it was an amazing experience. We decided to eat “family style” so we just ordered everything for all of us to share. It started off as Chef Scott Leibfried (Hell’s Kitchen) personally came table-side to present our Polenta Pour. There were so many favorites throughout the evening, but just to name a few: the Branzino and Frutto Di Mare Alla Griglia spectacular (we ordered another of both after the first), we also loved the Burrata, Fritto Misto (fried calamari) the Mozzarella Condimenti Stracciatella (toasted bread with a cheese sauce and other condiments like olive tapenade, etc.), Filet Mignon, Cioppino, Roasted Chicken (chicken doesn’t regularly make my notable list, haha), and tons of mixed drinks (the Hugo Spritz was a standout). We finished with several gelatos (the pistachio, cherry, and Nutella) and the Bittersweet Chocolate & Caramel Tart (decorated with edible flowers).
Will definitely visit again, but we live up in the Lake Norman area so it was quite a drive…but we heard they are opening another location in Davidson, so we can’t wait for that to open!

Phenomenal dishes. Excellent, accommodating service. Wanted to treat my GF to a nice dinner and we were both not disappointed in the least! I would highly recommend making a reservation beforehand as the couple in front of us were walk-ins and were told they were fully booked. Walking in the rain only to not be seated is never fun.
Our server was very kind & helpful with suggesstions & opinions on dishes we inquired on. The food was spot on. Its not the kind of restaurant you can go to every tuesday to but for occasions that merit a more upscale feel, this place is it. Will come back for sure!

My experience here was nice, but the prices (in some cases) are completely unjustified! The portions are normal-sized and easily manageable for an adult. The price is really high for that. Many of the dishes aren’t authentically Italian. A cup of tiramisu for dessert costs $15 and isn’t worth it! It tastes good, but not Italian, and for that price, you could fill up on another dessert!
I’ve also heard from other guests that a view of items are already sold out! How can that happen at dinner time at 6 p.m. in a newly opened store?
