Found in the heart of Blackpool city centre, La Fontana is an award winning, family-run Italian restaurant that has been serving food to the locals for over 30 years. Located near to all the major attractions, including the Blackpool Tower and North pier, La Fontana is the perfect place to enjoy a hearty meal after a busy day out and about.
La Fontana has a huge selection of antipasti dishes, so there's something for everyone. There's fresh calamari coated in seasoned flour, served with mixed leaves and tartare sauce, a classic homemade minestrone soup, and slow roasted spare ribs with a homemade barbecue sauce on the menu. Other classic Italian starters include the fried mozzarella with napoli sauce, king prawns in a garlic and white wine sauce, and stuffed mushrooms baked with a bechamel and napoli sauce.
There are plenty of delicious pasta dishes, too, including a spicy nduja arrabbiata, rich beef ragu bolognese, creamy carbonara and diavola spaghetti with king prawns and capers. The cannelloni large pasta tubes are stuffed full with beef ragu, spinach, herbs, parmesan and mozzarella, and baked in the oven with bolognese and bechamel sauce.
Pizzas are all 11 inches with a margherita base, and the dough is made fresh in house using only the best premium Italian flour. Choose from a traditional margherita, spicy calabrese with jalapenos, goats cheese fontana with caramelised red onion and walnuts, pescatore with prawns, squid and mussels, and the tonno with tuna and red onion. From the main menu, try the slow roasted lamb shank with rosemary, red wine and mint sauce, the chicken breast with a creamy peppercorn sauce made with brandy, red wine and cream, or the king prawns in Cointreau, citrus, cream and tomato.
