LA FONTANELLA RISTORANTE – Italian
Owner-run and unhurried, La Fontanella has spent more than two decades making its sauces, pastas and desserts in-house rather than buying them in. The kitchen's signature is vitello osso buco: veal shank braised in red wine, set on parmesan risotto under a glossy demi-glace. Veal scaloppini with capers, shallots, tomato and lemon in white wine is the lighter counterpoint, and bolognese anchors the pasta side. A deep Italian and New World cellar backs it up, and there is a sister restaurant, BLANC. Regulars describe generous plates and staff who remember them. A neighbourhood ristorante that never coasts.
