Pizzeria Ristorante La Fontanella in Wijk 11 Binnenstad

The food, atmosphere and service were awesome! They sat us easily on a Saturday night. The food took a minute to come out because they were busy, but we were offered some homemade ciabatta to eat while we waited. We got the Michelangelo pizza and Penne alla Fontanella and both were great. Moanne was our server and she was very kind and helpful. Overall great experience!

The food was delicious, just as it should be: delicious pizza and starter, the shrimp in tomato sauce. I do have one small point of attention, and that concerns the chairs and sofas; they could really use some new fabric and foam, which would make sitting a bit more pleasant. It would be much more comfortable to sit in.

We had a delicious meal; both starters and main courses were excellent. Pizzas with a perfect crust and pastas with a great sauce. Very nice, friendly, and spontaneous service, which also gave us excellent advice regarding both the food and the wine. Highly recommended.

I had a pizza that was charred around the edges, but it was served anyway. The pizza was almost impossible to cut with a knife and fork. Afterwards, I asked if they didn't have a pizza cutter. The wait staff had forgotten to offer one. The pizza formaggio had limited toppings; I am used to a bit more at other places.

After walking a day in the amazing city center of Delft, showing my Swedish guests around town, we stumbled upon this Italian Restaurant. They had a pontoon docket at the street for outdoor dining. This was amazing. After taking a look at the map, i found myself ording the most basic of basic pizza's (other than margherita ;) ). The salami. However it stated it was the best salami ever. I couldn't resist. And boy was this a great decision. I can honestly say it was one of the best salami pizza's I ever had. My guests both had pasta and also were delighted. I will definetly come back and have already recommended it to others. Thanks!

Very satisfied, the food is delicious and the staff is very friendly. Been a few times already and still come back every time.

Lovely location in the city centre but tucked away peacefully on canal side , very nice Italian dishes and great outdoor and indoor seating with fully equipped bar . The owner & great staff smiling and made us feel comfortable & welcomed. Definitely visiting next time

Delicious food and a cozy atmosphere!

Lovely evening on the boat in the canal. Friendly service with delicious food.

Delicious lunch in a nice atmosphere. We had a great meal, and the grappa to finish was delicious.

Had a delicious meal, absolutely nothing to complain about, a super restaurant and very polite people 🙌 lots of food choice and you get good information about the food if you have questions. Definitely recommended.

Good atmosphere, tasty food, nice staff, and a great price! 👍

We sat outside on the terrace boat; it was super cozy and had a real Italian atmosphere. The staff was super friendly, the service was quick, and they were very enthusiastic. My husband had the fresh pasta with chicken and I had the salami pizza, which was really delicious! We will definitely be back!!!

Real old-fashioned Italian restaurant, good food

I have enjoyed coming to Fontanella with my friends for over 20 years. It is the oldest and most atmospheric pizzeria in Delft. Not only are the pizzas tasty, but the pastas, fish/meat, and side dishes are also delicious. A wonderful family business where you are always served in a friendly manner!

Fantastic service and oh, that pizza pazza is delicious!

If you haven't been there yet, you're really missing out. This oldest pizzeria in Delft serves fresh pizza and, nowadays, fresh pasta as well. It's also on my list for a fun night out.

Nice spot, few other guests, delicious pizza

The service was good, but carbonara was too hot and turned into scrambled eggs.

Delicious food and friendly service, but be aware that every first Saturday of the month there's a live performer who sings so much and so loudly that you won't be able to talk to the people at your table all evening. It's very loud and doesn't make for a pleasant atmosphere.

€18 for 3 glasses of wine...we used to come here regularly, but that's over now. The pizzas were still delicious, but now the dough had rather thick edges, which meant less toppings. It's a shame about that choice! The place wasn't even half full on a Friday evening.

The pastas are very good, but we thought it was ridiculous that we had to pay €2.90 for asking for Parmesan cheese with the lasagna and spaghetti carbonara. There were only three occupied tables, and yet they first forgot our drinks, and then forgot the bill again after we asked. I had to go to the counter several times to order or ask for something because the staff wasn't around; they were standing or sitting at the bar with four or five people chatting.

Great restaurant with friendly service. I love coming here when I want a good pizza at a reasonable price. Always great!

After 2.5 hours, still no pizza delivered. No explanation, no apology, no refund. Worst ordering experience ever. Avoid this place.

Delicious and affordable! Solidly recommend the 4 Maggi cheese pizza!

Super good and customer-friendly!!!

Ordered 2 pizzas for €46 in total; well, then you should get a substantial and good pizza, I think, and that was indeed the case. Additionally, the pizza was supposed to be delivered within 45 minutes; well, that took 25 minutes 👍🏻 top service😏 In conclusion: Too expensive / too small / poor quality.

The food was reasonable, but the service was very poor and we had to wait well over 1.5 hours for the food. This was already the second time. Once I ordered online and had to wait 2 hours for my food. No apologies or anything; the only thing they say is that it is very busy. Which wasn't really the case. The bar was full of dirty dishes and the tables hadn't been cleared.

Excellent pizza. Due to communication issues, something different was served, but this was corrected immediately, so special praise for the excellent service.

What can I say? Personally, this is one of the best pizzerias in Delft. The pasta and pizza are delicious, so you get your money's worth.

Very good meals. Very generous. Pleasant service.

The atmosphere and the food are good. However, we had a reservation for 5:30 (and ordered quite quickly afterward) and didn't get our food until 7:30! Since I didn't have an appetizer, the wait was incredibly long and totally not worth it! 😡

Ordered 62 euros. It was supposed to be delivered within half an hour. Well, it took two and a half hours. We called twice! They apologized twice, but that was useless. We didn't receive any compensation either. This is terrible!

My husband and I went yesterday for dinner around 19:15. The place was not busy. When we asked about a table the waitress told us that they do not have any just one in front of the door, when we looked around she offered a table close to the window which was also free, We decided to stay because we like pasta from this restaurant, we were there many times. The waitress did not have the will to work yesterday, the food arrived at 8 when almost no clients left and only because the waitress came to ask us if everything was ok when we only had our drinks but no food. We won't come back there. We went for dessert to Hanno, just around the corner, a wonderful known place for us. Every employee was smiling, eager for making us have a good time there, as usual. I will keep making pasta at home, it is a pity that in this country it is so difficult to find people who understand the importance of treating clients decently.

The best pizza in Holland so far! I love the aesthetic inside the place.

Chewy starter brrod with spreads. It had been there for a while. The pizzas eventually arrived, but all in all everything took way too long and it wasn't really tasty. Paying was also a challenge, so after a long wait she asked if she still wanted money for it? A pity and a shame actually. This won't make you happy. So not worth repeating.

Nice waitress, food was tasty but very filling.

La Fontanella is an attractive and cozy restaurant! A small, warm place with good and tasty food. In the summer you can also enjoy the terrace boat right in front of the door. There is a wide choice of different wines, which is a nice extra. Is it the best Italian I've ever eaten? No, but that doesn't make it any less of a place I'd love to come back to. The quality is always more than sufficient and consistent. The staff is friendly and the delivery service is excellent. You've come to the right place for fresh pizza delivered to your home. If you eat in the restaurant, I can definitely recommend the Bistecca Parmigiano!

Used to be a great restaurant. Worthless now. Reservation on site not known, fortunately we had a confirmation by email. Then just a table in a remote corner. Soft drinks by the glass, simply from 1½ liter bottles. Food way too salty. So never again....

Very good place, good food and very good service. We were helped by chimene with a very top service👍

Good atmosphere. When you walk in, it feels like a little taverna in Italy. However, when it comes to the food, I was a bit disappointed. I understand that the recipes and menu are adjusted for Dutch customers, but when you're 'the oldest Italian restaurant in Delft,' there should be a bit more Italian authenticity in the menu. This is especially true for the pizzas. They looked like a better version of the Albert Heijn ones (but that's just my personal Italian opinion). Including some more traditional options would be great. Also, adding a couple of Italian beers would be a nice touch. Other than that, there’s nothing to complain about. Good service, tasty starters (bruschetta), and a pleasant atmosphere. Just not the kind of Italian restaurant where Italians would typically go.

Food could be a bit more authentic with some dishes. And less Dutch. Super friendly staff. Food is simply very tasty.

It took a long time before we could order and that was repeated with dessert. Was offered an apology with a drink. Fine. The starters were simple, but very, very tasty! Main courses too heavy and too much. You can't get it away. Suggestion to give the customer a choice for ordering all entrees.

Dined at this restaurant yesterday for a special occasion. And i usually like this place, but not this time. I had a starter, main and desert, but the starter which had shrimp in it tastes really fishy like it was spoiled, so was not nice. The main dish was a broccoli and gorgonzola pasta but it tasted like literally nothing which is weird with a gorgonzola pasta. The quality of the ingredients they use is very low and seem to be the cheapest available and you can taste that. Above this the young blond waitress who was serving us had a really nasty hostile attitude towards us from the start which made me very uncomfortable. Almost like we weren't welcome there. I would definitely would not recommend anyone eating here when coming to Delft. There are much better italian places.

Coziest Italian restaurant in Delft, in terms of food atmosphere. And also affordable.

It is the best of the best, not only in Italian food, but really the best in everything, atmosphere, service and really very exquisite. I highly recommend it.

We ordered two pizza and half of them was remained Asked for box and they put them together in the foil. When I opened the foil at home I saw they put them on top of each other. Taste was not okey. Meat was spoiled smell. I called them and asked why they did this, instead of apologies they said this is our system. They said you said put them together, but I never told to mix them together in the foil. 😂😂😂 Service was super slow. Not polite on the phone. I had a bad exprience. Never come back. When I asked them on the phone why you did not put them in the pizza box, they said because you did not paid for the box. Only you paid for pizzas!!!😳😳😳 She said why you did not check them how we put them for you. It is the shame. How it is possible that much impolite and non-respectful attitude to the costumer. Shame shame shame.

We come here often, our favorite Italian in Delft. Delicious pizzas, good value for money and friendly staff. Highly recommended! ❤️🇮🇹

Service was busy but not efficient. Pizza cooked dry. No oil served. Not once asked if it was to our liking if we wanted a drink. We won't be back.

Delicious meal on the terrace (boat). Good pizza, nice people. Recommended

Great service and a nice location. The pizza and pasta were also very good.

Takes quite a long time, the starter was good (tomato soup) and the staff nice. The pizza, on the other hand, was really tasteless, not bad, just not much taste. The pizza dough was very filling. I wouldn't go again because of the pizzas.

Delicious pizzas! Not a lot of choice in pizza types, but what they have is very good. Ate outside on the boat, which is also recommended when the weather is nice. Tip: immediately ask for salt and pepper to add a little more flavor.

Onion Soup, Ravioli and Pizza. The onion soup has many (too) large pieces of onions, you have to like that, but normally I always eat my soup at other places, so not here. Bread with the soup tough. Pizza and Ravioli not very special. I felt like I had to wait a long time even though there were only 3 tables occupied. Actually not worth repeating.

The food was delicious, especially the starter, but we had to wait 1.15 hours for our pizza, so I canceled it. We sat at a table for 2 hours to eat 1 starter, which we thought was really too long with 3 people. The food was tasty, but the kitchen is an unorganized mess. Service was pleasant and friendly

The pizza was very tasty - but we waited 1 hour for a starter (4 small breads) and then almost another hour for our pizza. I ordered it without olives, but there was still an olive on the pizza - that's ok since I just don't like it, but if I had an allergy it would have been really bad. Although an apology was made, it still ended up taking far too long.

This is not an Italian restaurant!!!! This doesn't taste at all Italian cuisine!!!

Always cosy. Tasty pizza, especially the base. Not soggy and limp, but firm and thin.

Very good and extensive food and menu. Nice staff. A bit outdated on the inside

We’ve had some fabulous meals in Delft but unluckily this one wasn’t one of them. This is not a bad resto but they are just not up there. They are mostly riding on the overall popularity of this nice town. But have some crucial things wrong. Mostly the experience of the staff (not comparable with the 4 establishments we visited before in Delft), probably not helped by rules they have to follow by management (that just are detrimental to the overall experience). It started when we were seated and asked if we wanted to drink something. I ordered an Aperol Spritz and some ice water for my family (my wife and 2 kids). After a while the waiter came back saying he could not serve ice water since he could only serve this with wine. I said I would order wine later and have ordered an (more expensive) apero first and asked if I should change that to a glass of wine to get some water for my family. He then said if I want water for my family I should order a bottle or a carafe of wine!?! I asked him if he could check this since this sounded strange. He left and never came back… After 10 mins we asked another waiter what was going on and she asked again what we wanted to drink. So we ordered the same… She also said we couldn’t get ice water but gave another “rule”. I could only get 1 glass of water per paid consumption. Just to be clear, we’re talking about tap water. I was going to spend a nice amount but they would not want to serve my family some tap water… when explaining this to her she eventually agreed to give us some water… pheeuw…but she added (in Dutch) “als het moet” (if I really have to) obviously from a customer experience standpoint this was not a great start of our dinner but since we were there with young kids we decided to stay. The food was very average (we had their “special” pasta and some pizzas) and it lacked in taste. And when asked about some Tabasco (for the pizzas that where lacking in taste) I was told they would check and (same as before) never got any response… so we left early, without dessert and coffee. This was not a great experience and the worst meal we had in Delft. Sorry, don’t like to do bad reviews but I hope the management will empower their staff to provide a better service (and better food - but that’s maybe a bit more complex).

It had been years since I had eaten at Fontanella. Used to come there regularly. Food still very tasty for a great price. Had a nice conversation with the owner. Fontanella has been in the same place in Delft on the Verwersdijk for 50 years! That says enough! 😀

Excelente place! Fully recommended. It is almost like going to italy. We ordered pasta that was in the suggestions and was amazing. The portions were also good, the service really good; they were really quick and really nice. I will definitely go back

Ideally located on a barge in Delft, simple, efficient and good meal. Very pleasant meal with friends, we let ourselves be soothed by the ducks, the setting…

Delicious food. Very nice service

Delicious food and cozy atmosphere

A very nice restaurant with good value for money, a stone's throw from the canals.

Nice place, great food. Friendly owner. (Should be fun to try and talk with him a bit more next time...)

When you are in Delft you absolutely must dine here. As a previous reviewer already said: close your eyes and you feel you are in Italy. The food is truly authentic and the service unmatched, and it's really affordable. The location is perfect, right in the heart of historic Delft. In fact, everything is perfect!!

Delicious pizza in a nice atmosphere. Friendly staff.

Delicious pastas and pizzas for a great price

Very cozy with sweet servers. Food was very tasty as well. Good pricing. Really enjoyed my evening.v

Always a pleasure to eat there!

Ordered 2 pizzas for a total of €46, well then you should also get a large and good pizza, I think (but not really). A real Italian would be ashamed. In addition, the pizza would be delivered within 45 minutes, well guess what, 2 hours later 👌👍 top service😏, the excuse was that they were busy in the restaurant, uhm, a good pizza baker will have his pizza ready in no time or not. The only positive thing was the delivery person 😂👌. people, take advantage of it, this can't be a real Italian, it doesn't exist and if it is, shame on you. Finally: Too expensive / too small / poor quality.

Sorry, but if you've been waiting an hour and 45 minutes for your food on a Thursday, then you should really be ashamed! The delivery person was a fantastic guy. Will not order pizza from here again, never again! It was also a pretty mediocre pizza for more than 40 euros, not good.

Very tasty pizzas and top herb butter

Still as usual, good food, nice location, good service.

Bad service, not friendly staff. Had to wait a very long time for main courses. By asking why we had to wait so long for our main course, we discovered that there were not enough staff. We could have shown understanding for this if they had reported this in advance. In terms of staff, there was initially 1 new employee and another. I asked for a manager a few times because it took a long time, but he could not come. Towards the end, she finally came. We asked if we could get a few drinks for free as compensation. That was not possible at first, but in the end it was possible. The food itself was okay.

Restaurant La Fontanel is really old-fashioned cozy... you should go there if you fancy pizza or traditional Italian food.

Delicious pizza Pazza. Recommended!!

The four of us had a delicious and enjoyable meal here. Lots of choice of pizza and pasta. Nice cozy place near the Grote Markt.

The food was tasty, but not special. Soft drinks more expensive than average, but not shockingly so. Without mentioning it to me or a friend, we paid the energy surcharge afterwards. It's not about the money, but strange that it was charged without mentioning it. Great tent for the rest.

This pizzeria really shouldn't call itself a pizzeria, grandson liked the jumbo pizza better The pizzas were greasy, too much cheese, too thick base, tasteless If you ask for the bill, you can pay at the bar instead of a receipt at the table, which would be more customer-friendly Because we said it wasn't that tasty, we couldn't say goodbye We would not recommend this pizzeria in any way

Gezellige lokatie eten was heerlijk

Van de sfeer tot het eten alles is top!! We komen zeker terug

Heerlijk voorgerecht met mosselen een pizza gegeten .

Tasty and reasonably priced pizza

Very good food, very friendly staff and not crowded

Heerlijk gegeten,fijne gezellige bediening

Heerlijk gegeten, vriendelijke bediening. En op een warme zomeravond op de terrasboot eten maakt het helemaal af!

Lekker eten en een hele leuke locatie op een boot nabij het restaurant.

Lekker eten en klantvriendelijke bediening.

Leuke, sfeervolle pizzeria waar je lekker kan eten! De pizza Pazza is een aanrader!

Gisteren via social deals gegeten en het was super! We mochten een voor, hoofd en nagerecht nemen maar het nagerecht paste er niet meer in. Er werd ons ipv het nagerecht koffie of thee aangeboden. Super vriendelijk personeel en lekker eten.

Tolles Restaurant incl einem Kahn in der Gracht, wo auch wir gesessen haben. Sehr nette Bedienung, toller Abend gewesen.

Een smakelijke menu en lieve bediening.

Was gezellig en lekker maar je krijgt heel snel je eten achter elkaar, het is net van opschieten dan kan er weer een ander zitten. 🤔🤭

Terras op een bootje in de gracht, uitzicht op de toren van de Nieuwe Kerk van Delft. Lekker Italiaans eten voor een bescheiden prijs. Vriendelijke bediening, lekker ontspannen tafelen, een paar uur gezeten.

Op warme dagen kun je buiten lekker op de boot eten. Pizza en pasta zijn prima en personeel heel vriendelijk.

Just consider that if you use Social Deal the amount of food is ridiculous. Although , at least, The pizzas were the same size.

Die älteste Pizzeria von Delft hat uns gut gefallen. Wir haben draußen auf dem Kahn in der Gracht gegessen und es hat uns gut geschmeckt. Pizza und Pasta, beides lecker und frisch zubereitet. Dazu ein Heinecken in der untergehenden Abendsonne...super! Der Preis war dem Essen angemessen. Klare Empfehlung!
