- NNataliePhiladelphia County •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoI went to La Fontana Della Citta for lunch today and what an experience! Our server Ona recommended the calamari for an appetizer and we were so impressed. The sprinkled feta cheese was a nice touch. Our main entrees blew us away too, no complaints. The star of the show was the service! Ona was there to answer any questions we had about the menu and check up on us throughout our meal. There was never a time we needed her where she wasnt there! Exceptional service, we can not say enough good things about her! I will be taking all of my friends and family to this restaurant and asking for Ona every time!More infoLa Fontana Della CittaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Rittenhouse Square•4.2

- SSteveNew Jersey •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWhat can I say? I made these reservations for the Eagles Super Bowl parade. We couldn’t even get to Broad Street because of the crowd, but an employee looked at my reservation, and let us in the back door. Service was spectacular and warm. Every employee looked glad to be there amongst the cheerful madness. Food was top notch. My table was as described. They put on a show & delivered.More infoLoch Bar - PhiladelphiaPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Center City•4.5
