We (6 of us) had an excellent meal here. The food was fresh and delicious; included osso buco, rigatoni arrosto (lobster), gnocchi, calamari, we loved it all. Nice atmosphere, more intimate than its sister restaurant Polpo. Service was great. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful dining experience at La Vecchia Fontana last Sunday evening. The food was delicious and Mario, our server, was delightful. He was attentive and friendly and made sure we were well served. This place is a hidden gem and we always enjoy visiting during our annual beach vacation.
