After an "ok" trip to Paris my sister and i stumbled across La Fontana on our way home. The staff were excellent. Although we were the only 2 patrons, because of the time, we were treated with warmth and friendliness by the staff. The food was very yummy and served hot. It was a real pleasure. Keep up the great... More

We booked this restaurant for a family meal whilst on a one night trip to Blackpool. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere and decor is lovely. We were served quickly and the food was delicious. Whilst the rest had different pizzas - all piping hot and large, I went for the Salmone Rebbeca which was absolutely... More

Staff were also very comforting.... Will... More

Our family in Blackpool love this place and to be fair, I can understand why. Consistantly good food (we have been here many time), friendly staff, great service and nothing seems to be too much trouble. On this visit a large party had taken the upstairs function room (60 people I think) nbut that failed to dent the service level... More

Found the place warm & friendly and the food was first class, fresh ingredients cooked well and nice sides. The place is clean with a good atmosphere. Not suprised these common sounding hen partys are unwelcome - the town is full of lower class eateries more suited to this type of trade - go there !

Yes, I'm another member of THAT Hen party. Just wanted to say that everything could've been smoothed out by better communication from the staff. the restaurant was busy so perhaps they dropped the ball a bit. Can't say I'm overly bothered though as we had a lovely evening anyway.

My friend booked us a table here for the start of her hen weekend, we arrived between 7-7.10 for a table booked at 7.30. At 7.45 I approached the bar to ask how long they thought we would have to wait for our table to be told that other people would be seated before us. I objected to this as... More

We have been a family business for over 23 years and one of the reasons why we have been here for that length of time is that we do not serve customers who are unreasonable and rude to our staff. That's why we are Blackpool's only Italian Restaurant to have won "Restaurant of the Year" at the annual Tourism Awards. More

I booked a table here for 10 for our hen do yesterday about 3 weeks in advance. Upon arrival (about 40 before we were due to sit) I informed them straight away that sadly a couple had dropped out last minute and it was only 6 now (thinking I was doing then a favour as they were obviously busy) 7:30...
