Everything was lovely except the extremely awkward ‘rule’ that you’ll only split the cheque once. Three of five of us wanted to pay our own bill and we were shocked that your rule forbids paying for one’s own meal when in a group. This precludes me from inviting groups of friends I’m not buying meals for. Why so antiquated and user-unfriendly?

This is an authentic Italian experience. Do not expect a fusion with North America. True European hospitality. They don't rush you out to turn a table. Everything made in house. They have a great patio. Worth every penny, if you think prices look high.

Best pizza in the city. The dough is Neapolitan style and full of flavour. The toppings are quality and pair together beautifully. The patio overlooks the water and is a nice setting. Either stay in or get the pizza to go and have yourself a little picnic in the park. Either way it’s a great meal.

there are two bugs on our dish. After we reported that to the server, we got blamed on choosing to sit on the patio. Isn't that the patio is also part of your dining area that restaurant is responsible for? Honestly, the issue is pretty understandabe as it is an outdoor dinning area, but we shouldn't get blame on that. this is a very disappointed experience, cause to be far, except from the cocktail, the food are fairly good.

A Hallmark of La Fonte is the rigorous adherence to excellent Italian cuisine. I respect that and it distinguishes the restaurant. My guests like to pepper their pizza and one wanted ginger ale. The chef accommodated by sharing his pepper but there was only water-no soft drinks. A line has to be drawn somewhere; now I know. It’s still a favourite place.

Love this little hidden Gem of Unionville. You can’t even see Main St from here! Small menu but authentic Italian food that’s worth coming for. The owners are usually there and will always come to talk to you too. Can’t wait to go back!
