I visited this restaurant a couple of weeks ago with my friends. I really enjoyed my time there. My friends liked it too. The food and drinks were amazing. I liked the atmosphere of this place. There were candles, music, and a fountain in the middle of the terrace. I felt like I was in my home country.
We booked a table two days in advance. This place is popular. Many people make reservations before the weekend, especially for the terrace tables.
I truly like this restaurant. But there aren’t many parking spots outside. There were a lot of homeless people sitting nearby that day. Later, an ambulance even arrived because one of them felt unwell.

The food was really nice. I love eating pastas specially a good risotto. The eggplant spaghetti was very filling and flavourful. I couldn’t finish it but got it packed and ate it the next day as the portion size is generous.
Loved the ambience but the only drawback is that there are a lot of homeless people outside and it’s kind of scary to walk around that area.

Great atmosphere and great food. I got the special chicken dish of the day, and wow was it amazing, and the limoncello panna cotta for dessert was great. The service was excellent, and I loved dining in the courtyard. Even in late November, they had the outside heater going, and it was cozy. I wish I lived in Seattle so I could go here more often.

First time coming here and my mom and I were super impressed! We’ve been hearing about this place for months because of all the Seattle foodies and influencers visiting. We came around 8pm on a random Wednesday night, we also called beforehand and they gladly made a reservation for us for a party of two which was sweet!
Parking is super tricky here so keep that in mind, it is smack down in the middle of the city so we were prepared for that. You can either park near a parking lot or parallel park on streeet parking for free.
Outside it looks small but once you walk in it’s absolutely gorgeous. I believe they have outdoor seating when it’s nice and sunny out but we came when it was cold and wet outside.
The food was phenomenal! Definitely coming back here for more to try the other things on the menu. If you are a RISOTTO lover this place is for you.
What we ordered: burrata (fresh Italian cheese made from an outer shell of mozzarella filled with a creamy center of fresh mozzarella curds)
4 pieces of garlic bread ( best side topped with Parmesan cheese )
Risotto ai Funghi (topped with truffle oil) super flavorful! If you like meat you can add protein like chicken
Linguini di mare (showstopper!) black ink pasta with loads of seafood
One thing I want to comment on, our server, he was nice however he seemed like he was in a rush. When he was taking our order, I told him our entrees and he grabbed the menu from me (didn’t even ask if he could grab the menu, like what) then I had to ask the menu from him back cause I just wasn’t done ordering. Another thing that caught me off guard is he was coughing loudly in the corner.
Another thing is the main dishes took 30 minutes to come out (it was worth the wait though!) however if you’re in a rush I don’t recommend coming here as it’s a fancy dine in sit down restaurant. After like 30 minutes of waiting I asked our server if the food was coming and he said it is I’m just waiting for you to finish your appetizer (not sure if that’s the norm here but it was still good).

We booked a table on the same day for our three year anniversary as married couple. Definitely the best choice!
Not only the food was delicious but we were also given a hand written letter from the staff that made our night.
Thank you so much for the kind words and the amazing food!

My partner and I went here for our 3 year anniversary. The service was quick and personable. We elected not to order a dessert, but they gave us one for free with a flower arrangement and a card. Very kind of them to do that.
We ordered two different kinds of ravioli. Both were amazing, specifically the sauce. The cost was a bit more than advertised, but I did order the special.
We did not order any alcoholic drinks, but they seemed to have a good selection.

The atmosphere was a 10. Food was extremely mid for what I paid these 3 plates were 90$ very small portion. When I walk into the restaurant the health department inspections safety sign says “ OKAY “ so that’s a red flag, when I ask for a refill on my sprite drink theirs no refills that’s absolutely ridiculous. Cheap/ small portioned and food MID. I don’t think I’d return again,

This was my first time dining at La Fontana Siciliana and I was very impressed. From the moment we walked in, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. Our server Ray was excellent. He was personable and informative. The entire service and efficiency was great. The food was amazing!! I had the cheese ravioli with a tomato, marscapone, cheese sauce that was too die for. My friend’s pesto fettucini was delicious. My other friend had mushroom rissoto. I don’t care for mushrooms and I don’t care for rissoto, but it tasted so good. I could have eaten the entire plate if I had ordered it myself. The bruschetta we had for an appetizer was so good too and tasted just like the bruschetta in Italy. The cheesecake was the best I’d ever had as well. My entire dining party felt the same way about the food and entire dining experience. I have lived in Seattle for 21 years and left the restaurant thinking that I just ate the best Italian food in Italy. I highly recommend La Fontana Siciliana to everyone.

We tried La Fontana Şişilicana last night. I had reserved for 8:30 but we arrived at 8:00. The waitress mentioned she couldn’t guarantee outdoor seating, but at 8:30 she told us she should have seated us already and later offered to move us outside when a table became available.
For the appetizer, we ordered the eggplant with mozzarella along with a glass of white wine. Surprisingly, we were told they had run out of wine glasses and could either wait or drink from champagne glasses. That was definitely an unusual experience for me at a restaurant. The appetizer itself, though, was really tasty.
After about 30 minutes we moved outside and ordered our main courses: Pasta Norma and the three mushrooms pasta. The Pasta Roma was quite oily, the portion was very large, and the sugo was watery—it didn’t resemble what we’ve tried in different parts of Italy. The mushroom pasta, on the other hand, was better. For dessert, we tried the tiramisu, which was just okay.
Overall, it was a nice evening with a cozy Italian vibe, but the food and service details didn’t quite live up to expectations. I don’t think I’ll be coming back again

Love this spot! This is truly a Seattle hidden gem, as it’s nestled in an almost hidden corridor off busy Belltown streets. The outer courtyard is so beautiful with its lovely fountain, overhead lights, and white clothed tables. You truly forget you’re in Seattle. I’ve seen people come in off the street just to take a picture in the courtyard. Great spot for date night or ladies night!
The seating inside the restaurant is a great option for a more intimate meal with a bit of a darker ambiance. They sometimes have a professional playing live piano.
The food always hits. The sauces are rich and the pasta is fresh. The service is always attentive and friendly. This spot often fills up, I highly recommend making reservations in advance.
