Ristorante la Fonte In Ovindoli

What a great place to dine. We ate with friend recently in the small, almost private, room. Amazing produce that created superb pasta and meat dishes. Loved it. And great montepulciano too. We got a lovely warm welcome (prob due to having Tim and Philly with us)! Go there!

Lovely place, quality food, welcoming and friendly staff!! I recommend it!

I had a wonderful porcini, peach, and fennel salad, a one-of-a-kind charcuterie board (the guanciale was heartwarming). Excellent wine, homemade bread, and artisanal jams to pair with the cheeses. I'll definitely be back!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and I can honestly say it was one of the most memorable meals I have ever experienced. From the moment I walked through the door, I was struck by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles and immediately made me feel welcome, setting the tone for what would be a truly wonderful evening. The interior of the restaurant is beautifully designed, blending modern elegance with a touch of rustic charm. Soft lighting, tasteful décor, and well-spaced tables created an environment that felt both comfortable and refined. Whether you are dining with family, friends, or on a special occasion, the ambiance makes it a perfect setting for any type of gathering. Now, onto the food—which was the true star of the evening. Every dish we tried was an absolute delight, showcasing not only the chef’s skill but also the restaurant’s commitment to using high-quality, fresh ingredients. To start, we shared a selection of appetizers, including a perfectly seasoned bruschetta and a creamy burrata with heirloom tomatoes. The flavors were bright and balanced, and the presentation was both simple and elegant. For the main course, I ordered a wood-fired pizza while my companion enjoyed a fresh seafood pasta. The pizza was outstanding: the crust light and airy with just the right amount of char from the oven, topped with rich tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil. The pasta was equally impressive, with perfectly cooked noodles and a sauce that was both delicate and full of flavor. Every bite tasted like it was made with care and passion. We couldn’t resist dessert, and I am so glad we saved room. The tiramisu was the best I have ever had—light yet indulgent, with just the right balance of coffee and cream. Paired with an espresso, it was the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. Beyond the food, what stood out most was the exceptional service. The staff were attentive without being overbearing, always ready to offer recommendations, refill drinks, and check in at just the right times. They were knowledgeable about the menu and eager to ensure that every guest left happy. It is rare to find a team that combines professionalism with genuine warmth, but this restaurant has achieved it effortlessly. Another aspect worth mentioning is the value for money. While the quality of the food and service could easily justify much higher prices, the restaurant has managed to keep everything reasonable, making it accessible without compromising excellence. Overall, this dining experience was outstanding in every way. The atmosphere, the food, the service, and the attention to detail all came together to create an evening that I will not soon forget. I left the restaurant not only satisfied but truly impressed. This is the kind of place that reminds you why dining out can be such a joy. Without hesitation, I give this restaurant a full five stars and look forward to returning again very soon.

A very positive experience throughout: courtesy, hospitality, and food. Mrs. Daniela is a force of nature, and her staff are no less so. The facility is very beautiful (in my opinion) and welcoming.

Three-course dinner. The menu is quite varied, including wines. The tartare and meatballs are good; the lamb is excellent, with unremarkable cuts and side dishes; and the desserts are good. The price is fair.

This time the motorcycle brought us here. We were hungry, not hungry, so we didn't want, as usual, pasta dishes or similar. And we found authentic, carefully selected flavors. The cheese appetizer was delicious and delicious, thankfully a distant relative of the Italian antipasto or the cured meats and cheeses served everywhere. The potato, cheese, and pepper cream pie was a perfect combination of the sweetness of the potatoes and cheese and the bitterness of the pepper cream. The summer truffle tartare was so good it deserved a real truffle. The owner, proprietor, or whatever, and all the staff are exquisite. I'd go back tomorrow.... But I don't know where the bike will take me tomorrow. (Photo of the wine chosen from the menu, as unique as the food) Ah....and as usual.... If the problem is how much you spend to eat well, I tell you that you spend even less than is right... But if you want to eat a lot for next to nothing, stay home and shop at the discount store.

The restaurant boasts a great location and friendly staff. I don't understand how an appetizer can cost the same as a first course. 15 euros each. We obviously knew this from reading the menu, and the owner was very clever in enticing us. We were fools for falling for it. But they're not worth the price. For first courses, we ordered a plate of ravioli and a plate of chitarrina with lamb, saffron, and lemon. There were six ravioli, and the plate was half empty. The spaghetti, however, lacked a balanced flavor, and the lemon dominated everything else. The pan dell'orso (bear's bread) with ice cream was good.

The food and service were excellent, and the prices were above average. The chef recommended the pork ribs, which weren't on the menu, and were actually delicious. It's a shame he didn't tell us the price first. 8 ribs cost €60, which seems a bit high to me.

A top-quality restaurant in the heart of Scanno. Excellent food and excellent service. Prices are a little above average, but worth it. Recommended.
