We visited La Fonte today in Corby and it is an Italian restaurant. On first impression on the outside, it used to have a menu and it used to look welcoming but over the past year or two there's been no menu outside and no signs other than a small sign from the inside saying "Open".
But coming in it was fairly quiet and we were given the option to choose where we wanted to sit. All of the tables were very clean and we then ordered our drinks my partner had Coca-Cola and i just stuck with tap water.
For starters, i had the "Funghi Gorgonzola" which was Mushrooms cooked in our signature rich and creamy blue cheese sauce, served with grilled ciabatta bread. I thought this was delicious and it was quite light and i enjoyed the flavours. It was very well done.
My partner had the "Caprese Salad"
Tomato, mozzarella & basil drizzled with balsamic dressing. He said he had enjoyed it but looking at the plate it felt the price wasn't right, this was £6.95! For five thin shards of mozzarella cheese, it felt like it was overpriced for what it was.
My main course was the "Pollo al Limone" which was a tender grilled chicken breast, served in a deliciously light and refreshing white wine and lemon sauce. I thought this was lovely, this was a winner in my book. Tasty and genuinely enjoyed this. Plus the vegetables and roast potatoes were great too and it was lovely.
My partner ordered the "Lasagne Della Cesa" and he said this was nice, i did have a bite and it tasted like a classic lasagne with no frills. It's a solid Italian dish that was excellent.
Overall it's a lovely place, we had a good time and would recommend this place for those who enjoy an Italian setting especially right in the heart of Corby.
We have just been in today for Sunday lunch, the food was absolutely lovely. Service was a little slow in-between courses, but the staff were nice and friendly. It was a little smoky in the dining area from the kitchen, i think it needs better ventilation, but overall a lovely afternoon. Thank you
