La Fontana Restaurant & Wine Bar Restaurant in Reading, Twyford

Reviews

   Absolutely lovely place — warm, welcoming, and full of that classic Italian charm. The food is fresh, full of flavour, and clearly made with care. From the starters to the mains, everything comes out beautifully presented and perfectly seasoned. Staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home. The atmosphere is relaxed, cosy, and great for both a casual dinner or a special night out. Prices are reasonable for the quality you get, and the whole experience feels like a little escape to Italy. A fantastic spot — definitely worth a visit!

   Anyone familiar with Twyford will be aware of the paucity of dining options. Dining pubs aside, we found three Asian restaurants and one European - La Fontana. Having recently focused on south Asian food - due to the Dashera festival - we ended up eating at La Fontana three nights out of four. The first two of these were not outstanding: steak, tuna steak, pizza, chicken salad, and a range of desserts were fine, but would have merited a rating of 3-4. It was only on our last night that we found out what the restaurant is really good at: pasta. We are meatballs and lasagne, and both were sublime examples of Italian home cooking at its best - hence the five star review. Portions were generous, sauces were sumptuous, and the pasta cooked to the moment. Lovely staff from start to finish, decent wines by the glass, and a convivial atmosphere all added to the enjoyment. In short, do go to La Fontana... but stick to the pasta dishes!

   Fantastic food. Reasonably priced. Only place I can find that does food without masses of carbs and tastes superb. Salad is amazing and salmon with spinach is out of this world and so good for you. They also always give a doggy bag for little pooch who stares from car whilst waiting patiently for his treat. Well worth a visit.

   Had such a great time at LaFontana!! This is my first time visiting England from the US, and I was amazed by the food and service that I went to get the same meal two days in a row. The menu is exceptional, you can literally get anything you want, they got burger, pizza, steak, and even seafood! I’d go there every day if I could!

   £120 for 4 adults and 4 children (no starters or alcohol: hate dry January). Pretty decent food but nothing to write home about. It was a busy Saturday night so the service wasn’t great and they added a service charge which was unexpected and not appreciated.. As a local I might go back but certainly not in a rush to..
