On the last night of our trip, my fiancé and I decided we did not want to wander out of the hotel. Tired of PR's local cuisine and not in the mood for sushi, we decided to try Piccola Fontana when we saw they had a 4 course pre fixed menu for $35 each. The wait staff was friendly and... More

The atmosphere was awesome except for the table next to us was so very loud. I had the lobster ravioli which was awesome and the squash soup. The price is right for this type of restaurant and the service was very attentive.

We dined here our last night, after having some "interesting" food during our stay San Juan. We found the atmosphere, service, and food quality to be quite good. Everyone in our party agreed that we would dine there again. They also had a 4 course tasting menu which was a great value and had delicious options. There was another tasting... More

We had risotto at Piccola Fontana and risotto at the top-rated Marmalade. Piccola Fontana was the winner. The sausage and saffron gave the risotto a rich and wonderful flavor. The Osso Buco was classic and perfect ... my daughters and I were almost fighting over it. The only thing that did not seem on par with the rest was the... More

From the A+ service, to the 'made from scratch' pasta dishes, the rissotto (mama mía), and ending with 'out of this world' desserts, everything is perfect! If you want to impress a date with a romantic place that also tantalizes your senses with glorious food, this is the place to go.

If you go here and complain about the prices, well, then head across the road to Chilis. Yes, it is expensive. Yes, it is very tough to make a meal that you will say is worth $47, but once you get past the cost, this is a great restaurant. Great food, great service and great atmosphere.

We eat at Piccola Fontana every time we visit San Juan. I always order the Eggplant Parm which is totally different and more delicious than any eggplant I've ever had (and it is no way $39 as someone prev mentioned...as a matter of fact my husband and I get out for about $100 total). The sommelier recommended an appetizer that... More

Ok, this may be the most overrated Italian restaurant in all of San Juan. The prices here are simply ridiculous!! $39.00 for Eggplant Parmesan. Completely overpriced. The food here is just average. The service is very good as is the atmosphere but that certainly does not make up for costly menu. If you don't mind spending your money for a... More

My husband and I loved this place. We had the cheese and meat plate, carpaccio, and split the gnocci. Amazing. So good. The next night, we came back to get creme brulee and cheese for dessert. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone.
