We had a lovely experience at La Fontana. The waiter (young boy) really made our evening. He was charming, helpful and really made it his personal mission to make our evening as pleasant as possible. The Chef made himself known to us and was very helpful with splitting starters between 4 dishes etc. Things that you don’t expect from a restaurant but do really make a difference. The food was divine. I really liked the “mozzarella in Carozza” started and the sea food risotto was amazing! Overall a fantastic experience and I shall definitely be returning.

Passed this quaint little restaurant last week when we got lost in Bedford. Looked so lovely when we walked past, we knew we had to give it a go.
1 week later my fiancee booked it for our date night and I'm so glad he did.
The staff were so attentive and Genuine, we felt so welcome from the moment we arrived. Every staff member said hello as we passed by them, the atmosphere was so friendly.
Can honestly say it's the best italian food I've had in a long time, so fresh and full of flavour and huge portions too!
The owner took his time speaking to everyone at their tables which was a lovely touch.
Food baby and all, we can't wait to go back!

We most recently ate here a couple of weeks ago! Fantastic food and service. Great atmosphere and were able to accommodate a table of 2 outside with a booking on the day!
Thanks for a lovely meal again! Definitely will be back! 👍

Friday 17th December myself and three friends went to La Fontana as it is one of our favourite restaurants. We arrived at 7.30 and didn't leave until 11.00 due to having to wait for over an hour for our main course. No explanation was given but we did receive a free drink. We were all pleased with our food when we finally got it. We should have question about the wait but all we wanted to do was leave.

A wonderful evening out. Would recommend to all my friends and family, a beautifully family run paradise tucked away in Bedford away from the hustle & bustle. Italian dishes done right and wine flowed to top the evening off. Romantic, warm & friendly. Everything you want on a date night! Evening ended with a slippery nipple on the house!

We were there on Saturday for my aunt's birthday. The service was lovely and so was the food. The staff was very friendly and helpful even though they were very busy. We enjoyed our time there. The other diners were wonderful too. They joined us in singing happy birthday to my aunt, which was very kind of them. We had a great laugh with them and the staff. Thanks La Fontana for the great atmosphere.

What a great restaurant. The food was delicious - had a fish & meat starter that was so fresh and absolutely delicious. We were all delighted with our mains and some of us even managed to squeeze in a yummy dessert. We were made to feel so welcome. There was no intrusive music and the tables were far enough apart to give you privacy. Definitely recommended.

The Best Italian Restaurant in Bedford!
We love bringing our young family here for an early dinner, the owners are so friendly and helpful with the children. We came back on Friday night with a large group of noisey friends and the staff were just as accommodating and couldn’t do enough for us. Our food was delicious and every one of us enjoyed our meals. Can’t wait to come again!

What a cracking little place! Had a lovely evening here last for a number of reasons; the food was lovely - you can tell it's home cooked and fresh. venue is really nice and tucked away, and the outside area is covered so you dont get wet if it's pouring with rain (which it was last night!). And most importantly the people - Lisa, Ben and Danny were the best hosts; attentive and helpful in their approach, and genuinely friendly and interested in you as a valued customer. Thank you La Fontana and see you next time
serena wisson
Thank you Lisa & Ben for a lovely evening food was great very tasty wine perfect and deserts delicious you made us feel very welcome as always. I recommend your establishment to family and friends see you again soon

Wonderful food but to be honest it was what I expected. La Fontana has an absolutely justified reputation for good dining. Ben very kindly fitted us in and we were able to bring our visiting in laws in for a lovely relaxed meal. Every dish was greeted with "oh wow" and the staff we friendly, interactive and happily made conversation. Don't miss out if you have a chance to go, this restaurant is the one that others strive to be.

Really good food. They offer gluten free pasta, but no gluten free pizza. However, their pasta dishes are amazing! I cant wait to come back and try more. Also had the caprese salad starter and the mozzarella was incredibly flavourful. I highly recommend that. The waitresses were so lovely and attentive. Although desserts did not come in gluten free options, they made sure I had whatever ice cream sundae I wanted. I highly recommend this for their food and wonderful service. We will definitely be back for more!

Attended a party with my three daughters. Food was beautiful. One of my daughters is a newly diagnosed Coeliac and they were very accommodating. Can pretty much make changes to any of the meals including the pasta! Daughter is happy she has finally found a restaurant with 'tasty' gluten free options and not just the obligatory one off tasteless GF meal on the menu or baked potato and salads she normally has to contend with.
Gordon Davies
Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!
Where do I start!!
Words are not enough to try and say how nice the La Fontana restaurant is.
Fantastic food, wonderful staff, and nothing was a problem, even though we was a party of 16 people.
These guys took took everything in their stride and gave a wonderful service. I can’t recommend it enough.
Go and try it for yourselves�

We came across this restaurant and have to say food, customer service and ambience were excellent.
Lorena Malandra
Fantastic, since having new owners I have been there for lunch a few times and in the evening. Amazing food, outstanding with my children who are nearly 2 yrs and 3 months old, and to top it off such a friendly family fun run restaurant, smiles laughs and what I would call 'welcoming'
They have also redecorated which has brought such a better atmosphere inside and out.. well done looking forward to my next lunch time pit stop x
