    Recently held a dinner party at LaScala’s Fire in Newtown Sq. I was very impressed with the service, food and atmosphere. Our waiter, Abraham, was fantastic. He was very attentive, quick to fulfill requests, interactive with the party, and added his own bit of comedy to make the evening more enjoyable. Our dinner was delicious. I will definitly be returning soon.

    I 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!

    We had dinner here last night and brunch late this morning and both were delicious. I had the duck casoulet for dinner and it was out of this world. Last night we were seated right next to the open kitchen, so I thought it was going to be loud with people rushing past the table constantly, but our server was very attentive and helpful, and it turned out not to be quite as loud as I thought it might be when we first sat. This morning we had a lovely booth for two that was much quieter. We will definitely be back as we enjoyed our experience very much and there were plenty of other dishes I wanted to try on the menu!
