Daily specials, reduced lunch prices and authenic Italian cuisine. Service by owner and daughter is impeccable. Too full for dessert? By all means take one home....all homemade. Absolutely delicious. I've never had any dishes there I didn't like and I'm not one for Italian foods especially.

Average food, bad salad, bottled dressing, storebought rolls. Biggest problem is they are always out of half of the items on a relatively small menu. A pretty good quality rib steak with no special preparation, and her spinach canneloni is good, but nothing else on this menu would make you think authentic Italian or special. Owner has a bad habit... More

Although the Mammone family is authentic Italian their food leaves much to be desired. The Assorted olives and roasted mushroom appetizer came out with a huge amount of kalamata olives only with a few canned mushrooms thrown on top. The baguette slices that accompanied it was the only bread we saw the whole evening. The pasta and entrees are fairly... More

We were on our way to Lancaster passing through and hungry. We saw the sign and decided to give La Fonte a try. Oh my stars!!! The food was a amazing. So good that we decided to return home in the same direction so that we could give some other dishes a try. No disappointment at any time. The service... More

We have be going to Luisa's since it opened and have never been disappointed. Her vinagrette is unbeliveable and her delicious three milk cake has been dessert for many holidays. We now have friends who travel from Annapolis to join us. They'd rather go to LaFonte than Little Italy. Thank you Luisa--Reed and Karen from Maryland
