18 Years of Authentic Northern Italian Flavors
Owned by brothers Spartaco and Antonio Tare, La Fontana Pizzeria & Italian Restaurant opened in 2008. The restaurant aims at sharing an essence of Northern Italy with the residents of Coral Springs.
The family-run restaurant took inspiration from their hometown of Ferrara in Italy. Traditional recipes, imported Italian ingredients, and a real wood-burning oven are the main attractions of the kitchen.
La Fontana became a neighborhood staple. It offered a cozy space for families, couples, and regular visitors, with a courtyard patio, outdoor seating, and a welcoming atmosphere.
The menu is centered around traditional Italian dishes. It is famous for its thin-crust wood-fired pizza, including the Margherita, Regina, Piccante, Capricciosa, and Vegetariana.
Homemade pastas, calzones, focaccia bread, panini, and fresh salads are also on the menu. Traditional appetizers include bruschetta, burrata with prosciutto, homemade meatballs, and calamari fritti. The menu extends beyond pizza with Italian-style meat and seafood dishes cooked in the wood-burning oven.
Dessert specialties include tiramisu, Nutellino, and Italian gelato. La Fontana built a legacy of nearly 20 years. Its traditions, wood-fired cooking, and loyal customer base made it a true part of the Coral Springs community.
