La Fontana Italiana
Nestled in the heart of Leicester on historic Horsefair Street, La Fontana Italian Restaurant is where timeless Italian charm meets contemporary elegance. Housed in a beautifully restored former Barclays bank, the restaurant offers more than exceptional food—it delivers a dining experience rich in heritage, flavour, and warmth.
What makes La Fontana truly special is its enviable location overlooking the Leicester Town Hall Fountain—one of the city's most iconic and picturesque landmarks. Whether seated indoors near the elegant interiors or by the window with a view of the beautifully lit fountain, the setting adds a romantic, almost cinematic atmosphere to every meal.
Whether you're craving a comforting bowl of handmade pasta, a stone-baked pizza straight from the oven, or a crisp glass of Italian wine, La Fontana brings the best of Italy to Leicester in a setting that blends classic sophistication with a relaxed, welcoming vibe. It's the perfect destination for date nights, family dinners, working lunches, or group celebrations.
The restaurant also proudly caters to halal dietary preferences and offers generous discounts for students, NHS staff, council workers, and key community members.
With attentive service, stylish interiors, and a thoughtfully curated menu featuring mocktails, cocktails, and fine Italian beers, La Fontana Italiana is a must-visit for those seeking authentic Italian flavours and a memorable night out. Just steps away, the serene beauty of the Leicester Town Hall Fountain enhances the experience.
