    Tiramisu
    Aditi P.

    The grilled cheese w/ tomato soup was divine. I saw one review that said it was big enough for two and didn't take it seriously, please take me seriously! Or at the very least, order it and eat it before getting an entre on top of a 'small plate'. The truffle pasta was alright but nothing special. The tiramisu tasted good but the ratio was off. Barely any lady finger at the bottom and just a whole lot of cream, which makes sense since it's made to order. Overall, I'd say "get the grilled cheese, split it and if you really like tiramisu, get it" but it tastes the same as any other tiramisu. Ambiance was nice, if you go on a weekday you can usually avoid the line too!

    Stopped by on Friday afternoon and it wasn't too busy. It's a small restaurant with only a few tables, but a really cute set up. The menu is pretty small but they have a good selection. I had the manchego pasta and it was good! 4/5, but pretty heavy so I didn't finish it even though it was a pretty small bowl. The olives were great and I don't normally like olives! They offered bread and oil for us to start, one piece each, but offered to bring more once it was empty. The waitress did some seem like she wanted to be there but did a fine job with the service. I would come back to try the cheese appetizers but I wasn't overly impressed. It was a solid meal but nothing really stood out to me!

    Once again, a bit late, but revisited Cheese Room in April for Spring Restaurant Week and the food was just as good as I remember. This time we swung by right at 5PM and were seated immediately, but there was a line out the door by the time we left. Parking isn't the most fun in the area, but it's worth the hassle trust. Burrata was just as delicious, though the tomatoes were a lot more marinated / acidic than I remember. A bit much to eat straight, but with the complimentary focaccia, it was a home run! Campanelle and Malfadine were once again the perfect texture and just coated in luxurious, perfectly seasoned sauces. The mushroom just edged out the lamb for me this time, but both are must try's. Pistachio Ice Cream was super luxurious and I normally hate uncooked olive oil over my sweets and drinks, but it just really added to the smooth mouthfeel without the almost bitter kick I was expecting. Tons of crunchy pistachio throughout to break up the texture; just a nice satisfying end to the meal.

    Mascarpone (tiramisu)
    Hani K.

    All of the dishes were really well made, that was the best grilled cheese I've ever had. The tomato soup reminded me of Trader Joe's creamy tomato soup but it was very good and the bread was perfectly toasted yet not too hard that it hurts to chew/bite. It is the Cheese room so the pasta was very rich and creamy. I found out through the menu and googling after that it's Korean owned and you can feel it in certain dishes! I loved all the scallions in the Menchago pasta. I also like how the menu has a smaller plates section because even though they're "smaller" I think their portion is still very filling! Service is so kind and attentive, and the food came at a reasonable rate, but the food didn't feel overdone or rushed at all. The tiramisu dessert was interesting, I'm used to the lady fingers/bottom being soft but this one was crunchy, hard, and the cream was pretty thick. If wasn't my favorite to be honest but everything else was delightful. This restaurant is so cozy and I can definitely understand the hype, especially once it becomes night time and they have candles by every table for ambiance. Our table was a little wobbly by the corner with a wall and window. Although the space is on the smaller side I think they utilize it well, there's plenty of seating, even with larger groups, and is pretty cozy.

    Burrata

    No parking nearby, street or garage parking are available though. The overall vibe of this restaurant is nice, romantic, and is in a convenient area if you're looking to walk around cap hill. Our favorites were the burrata (as many folks recommended), the Campanella and lasagna, big fan of lasagna. Our bartender was great and friendly, everything came out quickly and was delicious. For our half it was 110 with 2 drinks 2 dishes and the burrata side.

    Vodka pasta / Veal ragu
    Lilith F.

    Come for decadent pasta dishes, and with an empty stomach! The ambiance is so cute in here! Came with a friend but it would be a cozy date spot too. The waitstaff was really nice and it was a great dining experience. I just wish I had come more hungry! After a day of eating across Seattle I wasn't hungry enough to fully devour the meal. The burrata was really unique, I have never seen burrata with pesto and marinated balsamic tomatoes before, and it was a very rich flavor profile. It was delicious and fun to make flavor combo bites with the bread it was served with. I got the vodka pasta, and it was a bit underwhelming. With thick bits of tomato it really tasted more like a more typical red sauce, and the torn mozzarella on top felt like an after thought flavor/texture wise. So, it was not my favorite. But I liked everything else about the meal, so I will definitely go back and try another dish next time I am in Seattle!

    Sourdough grilled cheese with tomato bisque

    This restaurant was a wonderful surprise. I found it on Yelp and began to do my due diligence. Checked out the reviews on both Yelp and Google and ultimately decided that this is how I want to spend my evening with my hubby. Food was freaking amazing. From the complementary bread and olive oil to the tomato bisque and grilled cheese sandwich, then the amazing brussels sprouts salad (not pictured) and then finally the parpadella with meat sauce. Everything was so delicious and it came out popping hot, which is really important to me. It was perfect for a date night, small, intimate seating with candles on the table including these wonderful cute old-fashioned saucers that they give you an along with your small glass of water. Service was also top tier. My husband and I arrived during a busy time and it looked like it was gonna be a 20 to 30 minute wait but the hostess asked if we were mind waiting for her to check.. We're glad she did cause there was a table just waiting for us. The waitperson was attentive and ready to answer our questions. It was very nice. We will definitely go again. The only downside to this restaurant is the parking this restaurant is located on Pine Ave., Pine Street and the parking street parking is horrible. We drove around I think three times before we just made the decision to pay for parking.

    Pasta is very good texture I like ts to have some real BITE and they deliver on that. Free bread goated, clearly very nice quality ingredients from cheese to the fresh tomatoes you can't go wrong with their menu

    Came here a second time now hoping it would be better than before. But it's the same the pastas are kinda bland and really heavy. But if you like heavy cheesey pasta I guess it's for you. The only thing my party liked was the burrata cheese and I'll only come back for that tbh. It paired well with the free bread they give you. The service was okay..we had to wait for a longggg time to get water and no one was checking up on us and the guy didn't seem happy to be there lol.

    9/26/25 FYI. Burrate cheese

    Quality/Quantity - Focaccia Bread - This was so good that we asked for an extra order. Cheese Platter - 3 cheeses; parmesan (not sure why my daughter ordered this...?), gouda, and manchego. Burrata Cheese - This, in my opinion, was the hit of the meal!! I highly recommend getting this. The tomatoes were also so ripe, sweet, juicy, etc! Lobster Ravioli - Our guest finished her dish. Rigatoni Vodka Sauce - My daughter's dish and she did not like it, so my wife switched with her. Campanelle Truffle Sauce - My wife's choice, but daughter ended up eating most if not all of it. So good. Parpadelle Ragu Bianco - My dish, this could and should have been cooked another minute. Slightly raw. Ambiance - Very small location. Only one table for a party of 6. Service - Good. Price - $132 + tip; includes a 3% credit card charge. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.

    Truffle pasta
    Lily D.

    Great experience here! The burrata is delicious and I love the pesto and amount of tomatoes on it. Highly recommend the grilled cheese, it is rich and well balanced with the tomato soup. The pasta is good too, but the menu items with burrata and cheese really shine.

    pistachio gelato

    One thing that a lot of restaurants don't do well is truffle oil. This is not one of those restaurants! I usually avoid truffle dishes but fell in love with their truffle pasta. I've yet to find love for prosciutto, but I'm sure I'm in the minority. Only complaint that I had was that the penne in marinara came out nearly boiling and it took about 10 minutes to be edible. Service was mostly attentive, and the bartender was very knowledgeable. Would recommend for takeout or occasional date nights.

The courtyard is absolutely beautiful, especially with the fountain, cozy lighting, and intimate atmosphere. It has such a romantic, tucked-away feel that you almost forget you're in the middle of Belltown. The food was fantastic from start to finish. There's a great variety of Italian and Sicilian-inspired dishes, and everything we tried was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The portions were generous, and there were so many things on the menu that I could easily see myself coming back several times just to try different dishes. What really stood out was how much the atmosphere adds to the entire meal. This isn't just a place to grab dinner and leave--it's somewhere you can actually sit back, enjoy a drink, have a conversation, and take your time. It would be an especially great choice for a date night, anniversary, birthday, or any evening when you want dinner to feel a little more special. The combination of the food, setting, and hospitality made this a memorable experience. Seattle has plenty of Italian restaurants, but La Fontana has a personality and atmosphere that make it stand out. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're looking for a beautiful Italian dinner with a unique Seattle atmosphere. I'm already looking forward to coming back!
