Stopped in for dinner while on a business trip. I sat at the bar and the servers were super attentive. I wanted half the things on the menu and asked the barman which of two was better. He did not disappoint. The grilled salmon on pasta with a lemon white wine olive oil sauce was amazing! Seemed like everyone at the bar knew each other so definitely a locals place. The ambiance was upbeat and lively but also they left you alone if you didn't engage. Only suggestion I couldn't find a bar hook where I was sitting so maybe add some! Over all a great place for dinner.

Amazing "Maryland" Italian food! So many options to choose from and they have rockfish and sea bass that you cannot usually find at Italian restaurants. My parents and I went fifteen years ago and my father with a rental car he rented for our next day for my cataract surgery at Hopkins in Baltimore thought it would be a good idea to drive my wife and here. We were treated by wonderful staff and were sat at one of their many tables in this large restaurant space with wonderful ambiance that is the right volume for conversation. We dared the amazing Wild Mushrooms appetizer, the Rockfish Salad, the Sea Bass Salad, and the Ravioli Rosé. Everything was so delicious and the food came out fast. This is by far the best Italian food I have had in the region outside of Georgetown in DC and Little Italy in Baltimore.

Great food and great service and great ambience - all with good prices! Fontina has been an anchor restaurant in King Farm for decades, and I have enjoyed it for decades. Never had anything I didn't enjoy there.

it is a nice cozy local Italian establishment. We ordered carbonara,chicken brunello?, eggplant collating. Fast service as well. We will be back to try other things on the menu.

great neighborhood pizza, amazing chocolate cake. management prioritizes customer service

We ended up here as they accepted two 12 ppl reservations an hour and a half before we showed up. We ended up having 20 and they were so accommodating and even switched around the set up to make one long table opposed to two separate ones since we had a little less than expected. Starting with that awesome service as we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised it continued into our dinner along with the friendliest waiter. He was great, very attentive, and the food came out quick (and correct for all 19 ppl)! If you're looking for a starter to share, go for the Crab & Artichoke dip! LOTS of crab and great flavor! For dinner I went with the fettuccine Alfredo which was very good. It wasn't super thick and creamy, but just right. It came with a salad, which was a generous size and the option between a caesar or house. I added the flank steak, which I know sounds weird, but ended up being a great add on as someone else got the chicken and said it was just ok and lacked flavor. The steak however was very thinly sliced and paired well with the sauce! You got complimentary bread and they had a decent selection for wine and beer. Outside of parking being a little crazy, we had a great experience and if we ever end up back here I'll be back! I'm always so good about adding pictures and my hunger forgot the best of me so apologies for no proof of the goodness!

Great place for lunch in the village. We had wonderful service and enjoyed the AC during the summer. The chicken piccata was delicious and light. The grilled chicken sandwich was enjoyed by my wife and the fries were light and perfectly fried. Nice coffee as well.

Fontina is a great little gem. Happy hour offers cheap drinks and a great selection of appetizers at a discounted price. The servers are always friendly and attentive! Their patio is in a great location it's the best for any hot summer day, a great location for after work drinks. Do not think that just because I started by saying this place is great for happy hours that it stops there, this is also a great place for your family dinner or a date or even just for yourself if you are feeling like some good pasta! I highly recommend the penne a la vodka!

We ordered the Fettuccine Bolognese and Eggplant Parmesan off of Fontina's lunch menu for lunch takeout. The prices were $15 for the fettuccine and $17 for the other. Fettuccine bolognese was simply AMAZING. For $15, the portions were beyond generous. The meat and the sauce were spot on. The creaminess just worked. The fettuccine itself had excellent texture. The dish tasted great even after a twenty minute drive! The eggplant Parmesan was okay. The eggplant was nice and the cheese was not bad. The spaghetti and the sauce were pretty average. We're definitely going back for the fettuccine bolognese and so should you!

I've gone to Fontina Grille a few times over the past three months because I love it so much! I've always only ordered pasta for an entree, but I recently also tried their meatball appetizer and eggplant Parm. Their meatballs are super thick/solid. They're drowned in a sweet marinara sauce that tastes so fresh and tomatoey. I definitely recommend the carbonara (doesn't taste eggy at all!) and bolognese. Every entree comes with a salad or soup side, which is also super nice. I always feel like I get a mini multi-course meal (and for under $20!)
