La Fontana - Waterford

Went here with my partner whilst we stayed in Waterford. Whilst the prices are generally very high, especially for an Italian restaurant, the authentically Italian experience is certainly worth the money, and the ubiquitous reputation of quality for Italian food combined with seafood at a seafront restaurant certainly doesn't disappoint, as the fish stew I had was the first time in my life that I genuinely enjoyed mussels or prawns an impressive feat considering my intense overall dislike for both up until this point. The staff, the majority of whom were Italian were incredibly polite, smiles all around and very humble were genuinely passionate about their profession, and consummate in general. The calm yet warm and Italian atmosphere of the restaurant was very well received and pleasant overall as well. The only criticism I can muster is that some of the desserts were not made in house, although the ones I had were, and the gelato was to die for. I definitely recommend this for anyone in the market for (and capable of affording) the classy, upscale Waterford dining experience.

La Fontana serves excellent Italian cuisine with good choice of regional wines. The staff are very friendly without being overpowering. Price was reasonable if not cheap. Good idea to book ahead as this is a small restaurant.

Great food and fast service, was happy walking out!

My wife and I had an amazing meal here. Was so good she wiped the plate.

We really enjoyed our dinner at La Fontana. The garlic mushrooms had a perfect light breading and the scallops were very juicy. The pasta was delicious...
