    Jalapeño Soup

    Only picked up to go, when asked thy will provide bread and an olive oil dip, it's a must!

    Rigatoni Bolognese and Chicken Parmesan

    Food is spectacular. Some of the best Italian food I've had. Isabella was our server and she was so kind and knowledgeable. We're going back again this week!

    They don't offer gift cards that are lower than 50$. Making a reservation downtown McKinney is always a good idea.

    Scallop and Shrimp Fettuccini

    It was date night and my bf chose Fontina. He called ahead to see if they did reservations or wait list and she put us down for 7:30. We waited about 15 minutes once we arrived, but the whole experience was really quick. We were seated by 7:45, received our entrees just after 8:00, and were walking out shortly after 8:30. They have a very streamlined process of getting people in and out which is great on a busy Saturday night! I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the food! The chicken parm was a large portion with a nice thin cutlet breaded well and crispy. I loved how thin the pasta was, and it seemed like they use a housemade marina which was pretty good as well. The scallop and shrimp fettuccini was very flavorful and perfectly cheesy in our opinion. If I could change anything about our experience I would opt out of the bruschetta. We didn't realize they gave complimentary bread and dip, but it honestly hit the spot better than the actual appetizer. I think mainly the bread on the bruschetta was just too thin for our liking, however the flavor was definitely there! They have so many dishes on the menu, I definitely see us coming back for another taste.

    Reservation for 6 pm for 4, seated in front of bar. Server Isabella was very good, responsive & attentive. Food was not, which included margarita pizza which was bland with no basil to speak of, chicken scallopine that was cold, spaghetti carbonara that white sauce was not good and lobster ravioli that was very bland with yellow sauce. I had a j w black on rocks that was not a 1.5 oz pour for $16.00. Will not be back.

    Seafood Risotto (Cibo Di Mara)
    Brandon B.

    Fontina was nice place for an Italian dinner for 11 people. The hospitality was exceptional and the food had some key highlights. My review of 3 stars isn't because I think this place is bad, rather I think it could be better. But I'm coming from a place of eating Italian food all of the world and in major cities so I'm looking for something to be blown away. With that said, I really enjoyed the bruschetta. I recommend getting bruschetta with mussels so you can dip in the stock. The risotto was good, not great but good. The saphron added a lot of flavor. I recommend ending your night with the cheesecake, absolutely delicious.

    Carbonara
    Allyn D.

    We walked in and got seated right away despite there being a good amount of customers. There was an average noise level with background music and nice old fashion decoration. My husband and son liked the food. I ordered the carbonara and it was decent. I was hoping for a more traditional style with creamy egg yolks, but instead it tasted like white cream. It didn't taste bad or anything but I usually measure an Italian restaurant by how good the carbonara is if they do serve it. The pasta, though, was perfectly aldente. We still had a good time and I won't be opposed to coming back, but I won't be ordering the carbonara next time.

The house Manhatten was delicious with subtle adjustments to the traditional recipe. The Arancina Tradizionale is a fried ball of tasty saffron rice, stuffed with Bolognese and peas. Its a great appetizer with lots of subtle flavors. As an entree I had the Cacio E Pepe, the famous pasta prepared in a wheel of pecorino cheese and covered in fresh ground black pepper. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the cheese was creamy and mild, and the pepper nicely balanced the richness with a mild spice. I ordered shrimp on the side and it was well seasoned and nicely charred. My wife had the geilled salmon and loved it. We didn't really have room for dessert, but since everything else was so good, we couldn't resist trying the Tiramisu and Strawberry panna cotta. We couldn't have been happier with our choice.

The pasta was cooked right and the sauce not super over powering. We will definitely be back to try other dishes. My only complaint was that seating is a little cramped, and everyone including the restaurant staff had to maneuver around chairs, etc. but other than that we really enjoyed our visit.

We ordered the…read morepepperoni cagliaritana, Caesar salad, TNT panini, small three cheese pizza, and tiramisu and every single thing hit. The cagliaritana had the PERFECT ratio of ingredients and the crunch on the pizza was unreal. Everything tasted and smelled insanely fresh. The Caesar was loaded with freshly shaved parm and somehow tasted way better than a Caesar salad has any right to. I think the croutons were also homemade? Perfect! The small three cheese pizza was also perfect -- great crust, great sauce-to-cheese ratio, and honestly the perfect size to split with someone alongside a salad. But the TNT panini?? Holy crap. The second you unwrap it, the smell of the garlicky focaccia hits you immediately. And the pink sauce was some of the best I've had. The tiramisu was also the perfect sweet ending to the meal. It wasn't overly sweet and soggy like most in this area. Cannot wait to try the cannolis! After years of searching for real Italian food, I finally feel like I found it. Fresh ingredients, amazing flavor, and genuinely kind people. The owner (or who I believe was the owner working the front) was so friendly, accommodating, and transparent about timing. We ordered ahead online and everything worked out perfectly. Already excited for the leftovers and cannot wait for another visit!

We didn't realize until we were ordering that they do a BOGO half off deal on entrees every Tuesday, as long as everyone orders an entree. As a result we definitely had too much food on the table but it was nice for our party of 7 to try a bunch of different things! I didn't have time to take pictures of it all, but we started with the bruschetta and the sautéed mushrooms. Bruschetta came out hot and great as usual, but the mushrooms were a bit salty. The complementary salads were nice and light and our servers were great at refilling waters and bringing out more free bread throughout the night. For our entrees, we ordered the creamy lemon shrimp pasta with spaghetti, the eggplant parm with fettuccine, the lasagna bolognese, the shrimp spezia, the tortellini bolognese (one of the specials that day), and the dolce e salato & cesarini pizzas. My favorite items of the night were the dolce e salato pizza (the sweet and savory combo was excellent and the crust was light and fluffy) and the shrimp dishes - the shrimp was cooked very well. I'm not a big red sauce person but the bologneses were also pretty good. The long noodles were a little mushy in all the sauce but the tortellini was not bad. Portion sizes were huge so we took three boxes of leftovers home! And one of the ladies at the host stand helped us take some nice group pictures outside the restaurant after our meal. For a solid local red sauce joint that will fill you up and then some, look no further!
