La Fontana

First time eating from LaFontana - ordered takeout as we were visiting friends nearby. Our friends are regulars at La Fontana, and they suggested the Strombolis.  We ordered a medium Veggie, and medium meat Strombolis with extra sauce.

bottom line - Fantastic.  The two mediums was enough food for four of us for lunch.  The veggie was full of fresh vegetables, and lots of them.  The meat was packed with meat, and both came with cheeze oozing out of the middle when you took a bite.  What sealed the deal with me, and I am picky, was the thin, light, crispy crust that didn't overwhelm the Strombolis nor the pallet.  DON'T forget the sauce - chunks of tomatos, slightly sweat, and floating herbs make this a required addition to the meal.

I will be back, and the veggie is all mine!!

Came in on Saturday May 12th, 2012 around 11:30 after leaving Russell's over there prefix menu on Bloomsburg Graduation Day. Immediately found a table for 5 in the shade and sun - outdoors and was quickly approached by the wonderful mature server who was spot on. She remembered our order without writing it down, was efficient and on the ball. My only hesitation about her was the fact that she appeared to be rushing us out after we finished our meal - and it looked like she was trying to turn the table.

We ordered a Cheese-steak - no cheese just meat and bread; Chicken Cheese-steak; Salad; and a White Pie along with a plethora of beers - either Yuengling or Miller Lights. The prices were simply unbelievable, portions were large and food was tasty. $10 for a large pizza; $6 for a 12 inch cheese-steak; and $2.25 beers made this place an absolute steal.

Overall our entire bill was $68 - I gave the server a $100 and told her to keep the change. If I am ever in Bloomsburg again, I will definitely stop in.

On the recommendation of a local craftsperson at the Saturday Community Market, we went to La Fontana for an early lunch.

The menu has a full complement of pizzas, pastas, appetizers, and sandwiches. We settled on a bruschetta and an eggplant parmesan sub to share.

The bruschetta was delicious, but very garlicky. I could taste it hours later! Not good...The eggplant parmesan sub was filled with deliciously fried eggplant, marinara sauce, and just the right amount of cheese on a rather good sub roll. One of the best eggplant subs I've had!

The prices were fair overall, and the service was attentive. I'd have no problem with returning on a future visit to Bloomsburg.
