Our restaurant is a combination of both cosy and rustic Italian appeal, and this makes it the best place to unwind during the festive season. Whether it is classical Italian appetisers or deluxe desserts, each meal is cooked using fresh materials and family recipes.

Our commitment to authenticity is what makes us different. Our festival lunch menu takes us to the streets of Italy with its simple, soulful and flavourful menu.

A Warm Italian Welcome

The holiday season is all about being appreciated, and at La Fontana, the very core of our activities is hospitality. As soon as you enter, it welcomes you warmly, just like entering the Italian family house. Our employees make you feel at home and take you through the menu and assist you in selecting the right dishes to celebrate your occasion.

Whether it is a small table of two or a huge group lunch, we treat any guest in a special way. That is why so many locals come back to La Fontana regularly every year from Leicester to eat the festive lunch.

Seasonal Openers to Create the Atmosphere

Every good party lunch starts with the appropriate starter. In La Fontana, we serve your favourite Italian varieties to wake your appetite. Creamy burrata and bruschetta with decadent tomato and basil, crispy arancini stuffed with hearty mushrooms and cheese – our starters are served to eat and enjoy together.

These recipes make the ideal start to your party and unite the people at the table. Italian food and spirit are all about food and good times after all.

Classic Maines in an Italian Style

The main course is the centre of any festive lunch in Leicester, and we are proud to present the hearty Italian classics that are just right for this time of year. Think about the slow-cooked lasagne, home-cooked ravioli with ricotta and spinach, or soft chicken in mushroom sauce.

To seafood lovers, we also have tasty dishes such as king prawns cooked in garlic and herbs – a hot bite during a winter afternoon. We have Italian versions of classic festival meals, with both comfort and style.

Vegetarian Treats: Feast of Flavours

Everyone has to have something at a festive meal, and our vegetarian meals are prepared with attention. Our plant-based dishes are not only an alternative to rich aubergine parmigiana or fresh pasta with sage butter but also a star on their own.

Italian wine gifts to complement your dinner

A festive meal is never complete without the appropriate wine and the right style of Italians. La Fontana has a great choice of wine. Whether it is a soft red, a crisp white, or a celebratory Prosecco, our team can recommend what you should have with your preferred dish.

It is not about formality and wine in this case; it is about improving your meal and making the moment. Pour your glass with your loved ones, and get the merry air into the room.

Desserts Worth Celebrating

A festive lunch is incomplete without dessert, and our sweets provide an excellent closure. Every single dessert, starting with traditional tiramisu and panna cotta, is lovingly crafted, based on the season. Our chocolate torta is a holiday favourite, lavish and decadent, and it is best shared.

You have to double up on something sweet, in case you are planning to treat yourself to a festive feast during your lunch in Leicester.
