9. La Fontana Grill
Reviewed By KosherPig
A friend of mine took me to a place I would have never visited. It is located in a dated strip mall in a distressed area of town. Once inside, it looks run down.. a real dive. To my surprise, the food was phenomenal. At first, when the owner, Omar, told me he studied the art of Philly Cheese Steaks in Philadelphia, I was extremely skeptical. But out came this 12" long sub roll overloaded with fresh, sliced steak, onions, peppers, mushrooms and jalapenos. It was easily the best tasting Cheese Steak I've ever had in Central Florida! I ordered a side of fries and found myself immersed with a full on basket of crispy, delicious fries. As if the challenge to finish my meal wasn't enough (it wasn't), I tasted a slice of my friend's Calzone (he ordered a small, I swear it was at least a 16") and easily the best mozzarella around. As an added bonus, all of the meat is Halal, or for my friends, Kosher with a twist. Can't wait to go back to this jewel of Sanford!

Passed this place several times and finally decided to try. Iâve ordered from them twice now, and it was consistently good both times the pizza is flavorful and not too thick or greasy. The folks there are very welcoming and courteous. Fairly small place, so Iâd imagine it could get crowded in there on the weekend. It will definitely be our go-to pizza place as long as we are in this area. Itâs in a fairly quiet strip, so hopefully they can keep the foot traffic up and remain successful. I have not had their burger yet, but folks on google were raving about them. I will give that a shot one day for lunch.

Went here with my family Friday night. I must admit the food is better if you eat in rather than take out. At any rate, our server was absolutely outstanding. We dine out quite a bit, and this level of service is rare. I'm sorry I do not remember her name. But, great job!

In the past, I didn't like the pizza but thought the garlic knots were the best in the Sanford area. For this review, my friend ordered Salad & I got garlic knots for delivery. The garlic knots were mostly burnt (see pic) and disappointing compared to past experiences. I'm unsure if I'll order from here again.

My wife and I had a exceptional meal at this Carrabbaâs tonight. Our entreeâs were real fresh, with good portions. Everything was served at the proper temperature. Our server Greta was top notch. Our food was served in the right flow. Our beverages were never empty. Greta is in to customer service. This has to be one of the best Carrabbaâs in Central Florida, we should know. We have been to six of them. Thanks

This is the closest thing to NY Pizza that I have had since I left NY. The cheese is the perfect consistency and the crust is thinnish and delicious. My husband and I have enjoyed almost everything on the menu, but it is the pizza that keeps us going there.

Arrived at this restaurant at 4:35 PM and sat right away. We were shown to a table in the middle of the aisle to all the back booths, after we stated we didn't want to sit at the bar. The hostess didn't like that we ddn't want to sit in a smelly bar area. The next four parties were seated at the booths just behind us. It seems they like to take senior citizens and seat them at the tables as the only other couple at a table were seniors also.We got our initial order at 4:45 PM which was unlimited soup and salad, I finished my soup in about 5 minutes. We then waited for our waitress to come back for 20 minutes. The only reason she came back was we asked another server to please get us a manager. When she finally came back she said nothing but gave us the check to pay. I had a bowl of soup for $8.99!!!Management here needs to pay more attention to what is going on in their place of business.

We had lunch at Christo's and were impressed with the items on the menu. Alttile bit for everyone. I ordered a personal margarita pizza. The best margarita pizza I've ever had!!!! I only ate half and had the rest for dinner at home. It was just as good at home as it was there. My husband had a gyro with fries and he loved it. The waitress was very friendly and even gave us cookie on the house to try, which were awesome. They make all their food from scratch and you can tell. This place is worth it.

This was our favorite local pizza place until this past weekend. I placed an online order around 4pm or so for a few pizzas. It hit around 5:15 and I was wondering why no delivery yet. I called the restaurant and the guy that picked up found the order, put me on hold for a few minutes and came back to advise that the order was never made. I asked why and he said something to the effect of somebody clicking on it and then clicking off. At this point, he said they could make the order and get it to me in 25 minutes. I asked to talk to a manager and he said he was a manager. I then asked what they could do due to the inconvenience. My money was already paid through their online portal, so I really just wanted to see how they would handle a customer service issue. He put me on hold, came back and said he talked to the kitchen manager and she said no-go. Full price for the order and if I wanted (which I had already paid), then she would provide 20% off the next order. What went through my mind? Why would I even want to place a subsequent order when they totally messed this one up, had my money and had absolutely no concern over the issue? At that point, I just told him to refund the order and weâd figure out something else for dinner. He said no problem and said he would need to âwriteâ my credit card info down to process the refund. How secure is that?? He told me that was the only method of refunding with their payment system, so I reluctantly provided it so I could get on the road and grab dinner for the family. The majority of e-commerce platforms handling payment information provide a simple refund button functionality to avoid any security issues with writing information such as this down. I am familiar with this because I have accepted payments from clients through a few different platforms. Nonetheless, I left the interaction frustrated and hungry with my money pending refund. Had I not called, weâd still be waiting on that delivery from a few days ago. Itâs a shame that the managers put in place either donât have the concern or empowerment to correct issues that they have made. No matter how much I like their pizza, I will never spend my money there again, and will be sure to share the experience whenever the opportunity arises. And tip for the owner if there is even any concern to read this - get yourself a new payment system so your folks arenât jotting down peoplesâ card info on scraps of paper sitting around your counter if they need to issue a refund. Itâs not only unprofessional, itâs incredibly risky for the customer and your business. I am absolutely embarrased by then way you treated at my restaurant.What you experienced was a dropped order.Our policy is to deliver the order immediately and provide the consumer a full refund, the system tracks by name, so as you stated, its as easy as pressing the refund/void button.I am not sure whom you spoke with, but it looks like we have some retraining to do, and I take full responsibilityfor that. I would absolutely like the opportunity to make this up to you, pleaser e mail me the date of the order and you name and contact information, and I will reach out to you.Regards,Ian [email protected]
