Whatever you plan, the chefs at La Fontana have created a menu that reflects Italy in every menu content. We will detail for you a tasty experience of what to eat on our celebratory table.

A Warm Start – Soups That Comfort the Soul

All Italian meals start with intimacy, and our feast menu is no exception. Think of a bowl of Zuppa di Pomodoro – a thick tomato soup cooked in basil, garlic and olive oil and served on coarse artisan bread. It is easy and yet very fulfilling, ideal for giving your meal the right mood.

Something more substantial, the Minestrone alle Genovesi unites light broth with seasonable vegetables, beans, and pasta and glorifies freshness and taste. It makes a nice beginning that heats you up at once, just what you want when you are out in Leicester in the winter.

Our festive Italian menu in Leicester is prepared with fresh and local products and traditional Italian methods that transform ordinary products into something extraordinary.

Antipasti – The Italian Way of Celebrating.

Antipasti is a dish that cannot be missed at any festive meal in Italy. It is a colourful assortment of tasty starters to wake up your taste buds and assemble the whole family to the table.

Our antipasti platter includes such classics as Prosciutto e Melone, where salty prosciutto is the perfect match for the sweetness of a fresh melon. Then there is Bruschetta al Pomodoro, a simple dish consisting of toasted bread topped with tomatoes, garlic and olive oil, which is exquisitely fresh.

Calamari Fritti and Gamberi all’Aglio (garlic prawns) are a seafood staple not to be missed by the seafood lovers. Fried, tasty and well seasoned, these meals transport coastal Italy to Leicester. The perfect mood is achieved with the antipasti starter at La Fontana, which is lively, colourful, and tasty.

Heart of the Feast – Pasta and Risotto.

Pasta cannot be left out of Italian food. At La Fontana, it is the pride of our chefs that they prepare food that is comforting and celebratory. To celebrate this holiday season, our holiday Italian menu in Leicester will feature amazing Tagliatelle al Tartufo – smooth strands of pasta mixed in a creamy truffle sauce. It is pleasing, smacking, and something that is served on special occasions.

In case you want something traditional, Lasagne al Forno will not fail you. The combination of layers of pasta, slow-cooked ragù, béchamel and cheese makes one feel at home.

Main Course Italian Classics and Festive.

When the main course is given, there can be no less than perfection in the culinary perfection. Our chefs have crafted the dishes that would help in embodying the spirit of Italian celebrations as well as put a twist on the traditional Italian La Fontana style.

The Pollo alla Fiorentina is my favourite; it is tender chicken breast with spinach and creamy sauce on top and paired with delicious buttery mashed potatoes. Agnello al Rosmarino is another popular festive dish: the succulent lamb shank is slow-cooked in rosemary, garlic and red wine. The meat falls off the bone, providing a melt-in-your-mouth feeling.

Every one of the dishes in our Italian festive menu in Leicester honours the generosity of slow cooking, fresh food and pure Italian tastes that make every meal something to remember.
