Le Fontanelle in Mendrisio

I really enjoyed lunch here. The staff were excellent and the food first class. Definitely a must try if you are in the area.

We also come here from time to time with friends but the other evening I had dinner with my girlfriend, I had the spaghetti with tuna bottarga (I recommend them because they are amazing) and my partner instead had the tartare, which is always of good quality , all accompanied by a good glass of wine.

Good pizza, parking is a bit small

Elegant as always and excellent dishes

I've been to this restaurant, very good gluten-free pizza and the dough is made by them. I didn't like the place very much. All glass with blue stickers... It feels like being in a public swimming pool.

Good evening to those who always read my reviews. The food is very good but unfortunately the side dishes are always pre-prepared and reheated according to request. This is the only flaw as both the meat and fish are excellent!! The pizzas are fabulous and very garnished!!!! Excellent served!!! The lighting is too bright…

We had a wonderful evening this Wednesday! Top welcome, especially thanks to the good (and very good) Luca, a truly smart person, polite, prepared and always ready at the right time. Through his advice we took a very special wine (Guerello) which I recommend to everyone, tasty appetizers and truly delicious food for every need, the pizza guys is excellent, being super allergic to many things I ordered a marinara without garlic but with black olives and a little rosemary, obviously with spicy added😍, simple but appetizing like linguine with clams (without parsley for the same reason as pizza), served with kindness by the omnipresent and very attentive Luca, a portion worthy of champions like the grilled sea bass fillet with grilled vegetables on the side served to my sweet Donna, what can I say other than that we will be back very soon? A sore point: I hit my head on the lowered shutter but luckily I didn't break it 😌! A special greeting to all the staff and in particular to our "host" Luca!!! •Price and quality at the top 🔝 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ •Very comfortable environment ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ • Cuisine truly worth trying and enjoying ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ •Service for 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ •Lastly, but just to mention the truly excellent first impact, I can only congratulate Mr. Luca🤝 and all the staff⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ See you soon 🔱Cris Rea 🔱 Actor and Model

Excellent food, generous portions and very fast and professional service. Top Top Risotto

Very good, traditional Italian food.

The restaurant's signature dish, the pignada (spaghetti with seafood in a bread crust), is excellent, but the pizzas are also among the best in the area. Classic pizzeria desserts.

Staff always very friendly and quick. The food is always very good and not expensive. I love coming here to eat with the family.

Among the best price/quality restaurants in the Mendrisio region. Menu is very complete from pizza to seafood. Luca the chef de sale is a super guy and will be very helpful. I prefer to eat outside than inside (too many tables - the only critique). Buon appetito

Very kind and professional staff. Excellent eating! Very clean place!

The restaurant is very busy as always. We ate well and the staff were really friendly and professional. It's also great to see that the restaurant has many long-time employees. We all enjoyed it.

Le Fontanelle is one of those restaurants where you always return with pleasure. the food is good, the service is very friendly and attentive, the prices are very reasonable. immense paper as typical of the Burgundy group. Well done Luca who has been in service for a long time 👏 The only flaw is the American grape ice cream which tastes like strawberries, try the Bundi one and you will see the difference.

I didn't feel good, actually. The food is not of quality and moreover it is not even cooked well. Prices too high. The staff is helpful. I will not return

I've only been there for lunch as a work lunch. The pizza is the best I have eaten in Ticino. The portions of restaurant dishes, such as the risotto with Roman saltimbcca, are extremely exaggerated. I can't comment on the price because I've never seen the prices of the food or even paid for it. I advise!

A certainty. Cheap menu for lunch

Invited to a dinner, very large room, therefore noisy. Abundant dishes

The food was good, the service was slow but today it was very full so that's okay. The only thing I find scandalous is that they removed the side dish from the second courses, which was previously included. So for a second about 35-45 fr you have to add the side dish about 10 fr... A bit too much!!

The pizza is good and the service is usually good too.

Nice location, above all very clean. Excellent food. Professional and very kind staff. Prices normal. I highly recommend

Very good and good price considering the location

First of all, we ate well 👍 and above all warm. The second time we visited this restaurant we wanted to try the pizzas, unfortunately they were cold. It was interesting that there were few guests because it was early in the afternoon. I suspect that the waiter overslept the serving a bit 😴. Because the Pizailo was quick and a wood-fired pizza should be warm unless you leave it out for a long time. Will try again.

Everything perfect, food, friendliness, relaxing environment, well done

Business lunch good prices good food and excellent service

Very friendly staff and attentive to customer needs

Very nice restaurant, excellent service, very friendly, I recommend it to everyone

Context: Business lunch. Got the menu of the day. Presentation: 4/5 Quality: 4/5 Quantity: 4/5 Price ratio: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Staff: 4/5 Average: 3.9 Observations: many tables and parking spaces available. The dishes served were good and the service was fast. I took a jug of water and a coffee for a total of 24.30.- Thank you

Good service, ate a pizza. Very good

Pizza doesn't taste very good and for the price, I expect at least not to have to leave all the crust because it's burnt or dry - I'll be back after about two years "Valtellina" in addition to the fact that Valtellina also requires rocket and parmesan, not mascarpone (which I didn't add), the pizza in general wasn't that great. I ended up removing the bresaola because it wasn't very good. The dessert (dark chocolate cake) was good. My rating drops, never in my life have I found myself in a situation where in a restaurant as a paying customer the waiter took the liberty of grabbing the chair (with me on it) and dragging me away from the table just so he could put the pizza down and drag me back to the table. Reason "once the pizza fell on the customer and we soiled her shirt"

Excellent service. Good quality. Advised.

Group lunch, pleasant experience, good starters and pizzoccheri.

Very nice, very good Danish cup

Well-executed dishes, excellent quality products, super helpful staff

Always everything of excellent quality and exquisite service

Food was very good. Price performance is right. Very friendly and prompt. Is worth another visit

Swiss restaurant in a quiet location with parking spaces and lots of tranquility. The dishes are healthy and very tasty, but you can also find the classic panata (Milanese-style veal cutlet) with chips for the little ones. They have two menus, the first for adults always with excellent new things to try while still maintaining the classic dishes, and the menu for children which is really top🔝 Personally I enjoyed some excellent scallops with Marsala, ravioli with goat's cheese filling, the vegetarian dish and the health dish, what can I say, delicious😋. They also make pizzas and for fish lovers you can get lost in a "sea of ​​delicacies". Fast, friendly staff always with an eye on children and customers. The coffee is served with a biscuit. TOP little touches that make the customer happy. The room managed by Super Luca is impeccable. All the staff okkkk👍🏻Only one small thing is missing, redo the excellent Crem Caramel made to perfection.🌈 Highly recommended for any type of event, confirmations, communions, banquets or simply for a lunch or a family dinner.Modern environment!

We had a lunch with 60 participants, we had a very good time, excellent service with excellent cuisine.

Excellent service Very friendly staff Excellent food

We always had a great time, great food and very friendly staff👌🏻

Very good pizzas, friendly and courteous service! gladly come back!

Nice large restaurant. Their Zurich geschnetzeltes with roesti is excellent. Great pizza and pastas too. Quick friendly service.

Very good restaurant, very kind and polite waiters

Friendly staff and delicious food.

Right compromise between quality and price. Friendly welcome and service. Excellent arrival times for dishes on the table.

Excellent food which is the main thing, the dishes are prepared with care, the pizzas are also good the environment is a little noisy but given that the restaurant is quite large it is also normal, the staff is very friendly and fast.

Salvatore and Francesco are fantastic and very kind, truly exceptional hospitality!!!! Good guys, always friendly and everything is delicious!!!! You are GREAT🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 By PIER

Delicious pizzas and top cooking as well as excellent pizza dough

All very good, generous portions, courteous and knowledgeable staff, I recommend it

Update: Since the first review the timing of the takeaway service has improved. Well! Good pizzas, mixed fried dishes and paellas. In the dining room everything is ok, but the takeaway service for pizzas is often late. Of the last 10 times, on at least 5-6 occasions I waited 20 minutes or more despite having called in advance. This evening it was supposed to be ready at 8.30pm, but it arrived at 8.50pm. And never let a waiter take responsibility for it or ask if you want to drink something in the meantime. On the other hand, I have heard a series of unprofessional buck-passing justifications (from "do you remember who took the call?" to "the boy forgot" to "everyone wants pizza tonight").

Terrible pizza, they put the mascarpone before cooking and it was melted like water. It was takeaway and I found all the rubbish in the trunk of the car, I paid 58 CHF for three pizzas which I had to throw in the bin. Absolutely avoid!

Being gluten and lactose intolerant I ate a wonderful pizza. Well done. Thanks for thinking of us too

We had a good time, very professional and very kind. Good pizza

We always love going to the fountains because you can eat everything from pizza to seafood or mountain dishes. Very kind people

Congratulations for the tasty lunch, my guests were very satisfied, excellent venison medallions and the colonial rice... I really recommend takeaway "brilliant👌👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 See you next time🙋‍♀️🍀

Fine food, large portions, moderate prices, great service... nothing to complain about 👍

Excellent pizza and friendly and very kind team

What I say rightly is purely subjective. I hear about this place a lot! But honestly it's nothing special!! The prices are sky high, and the pizza is nothing exceptional!! Having said this, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't go, but for people like me who have to be careful, 50 CHF for 2 pizzas, a bottle of water and a glass of prosecco seems completely excessive to me!!! Enjoy your dinner

We went for a family lunch, anyone with children knows what it means to wait and let the wait pass, it doesn't happen here! Ultra friendly and helpful staff, with particular attention to younger guests. Very good pizza and varied choice, there are pizzas that I have only seen here. The fried food is good and the "simple" spaghetti with tomato sauce are excellent (which, as the waiter told us, are not simple!). A confirmation for when you want to be on the safe side!

Very good food and very friendly staff

Had dinner for 6 people with different menus and they were all excellent!! Excellent staff. I advise. Hi Chico

Staff very friendly and accommodating. Many thanks. A big thank you also to the kitchen.

Optimal. Eating good. They respect the anti-covid provisions.

Typical restaurant of the Great Bordogna Family. The food is extremely good and the service is fast. A lot of kindness on the part of the waiters while on the part of the owner, there is a bit of distraction!

We all love pizzas with excellent chilli and oil who appreciates them, but also delicious fish dishes. Plus everyone is very kind!

Excellent food. Be sure to bring a ball with children, there is a lawn with goals right next to the restaurant.

Classic pizza restaurant with excellent cuisine, both meat and fish. I just have to make one observation: the service is too fast. I had the impression that they want to do more rounds at the tables, but that doesn't mean I won't go back again! On the contrary!! The very professional waiters are also friendly and accommodating! The Director, who should be a business card for this beautiful restaurant, could also greet the customers who come to Cena for the first time, and not just "Les habitués"! A note of merit is the fact that I found the tables and the whole place extremely clean and disinfected from time to time!

We were served very well by the very welcoming staff, excellent quality food, I recommend it

Tantissima scelta e servizio di alta qualità

I have been coming here during the past years and can only speak positively of this place. I do not have one bad memory of neither the food nor the service. The staff is always extremely friendly and helpful. It is located on the side of the main road so if you are eating outside in Summer it would be an option to switch inside to avoid noise. Decorations inside are quite unique with many paintings on the wall, a big one on the wall dividing the hall. The variety of the menu is always very large: they also offer seasonal specialties. Pizzas are very delicious and not too thin. Also the meat-based and fish-based dishes have always been cooked to almost perfection in my case. I recommend avoiding weekends as it can get quite busy but either way, you will not have to wait long. However, parking can be limited during such nights. Prices tend to be relatively high but given the inner decoration, the friendly staff and the quality of the food this is to be expected. You pay for what you get: prices are fair for the experience.

Sempre tutto ottimo non vedo l’ora di poterci tornare al più presto 🤗

A delicious pizza, courtesy and much more! Swiss prices...

Bellissiko posto e ottima cucina! Grande cordialità!

Ottimo prezzo prestazioni, bel ambiente

Leider war das Hirsch Fleisch zäh.

Ristorante e pizzeria con ampia scelta....

L'occasione per visitare qualche ristorante. Ambiente spazioso adatto ora che gira il Covid19. Personale gentile ma.....Abbiamo scelto due portate: Ossobuco (buonissimo con funghi porcini freschi e risotto da leccarsi i baffi). Grigliata di pesce con qualche appunto: porzione enorme con crostacei (gustosi) e pesci (salmone e branzino troppo cotti) polipo duro da maticare e una fettina di melanzana. Questa portata non vale assolutamente il prezzo di 52.- franchi.. Abbiamo commandato 2 caffè e sul conto ne troviamo addebitati 4.

In questo ristorante su mangia sempre bene. La location non è bellissima, da l’idea di essere una grande mensa. Però il personale è gentile, la carta ha una vasta scelta tra primi, carne e pesce. I dolci sono buoni e i prezzi corretti per quanto si consuma.
