Discover our Story

La Fontana is a family company created in 1980 by Palmerino and Nahir De Grazia, delivering fresh food, made from scratch with a consistent service to make you feel like in an Italian home.

Today, La Fontana’s methods have been passed down three generations, expanding in Latin America and United States.

Our menu is dedicated to two dear men who, driven by the need for a better life, were forced to leave their land; beginning their journey to what was known as the New World.

They left behind their parents and siblings, hoping to survive the misery of the post-war era. After traveling more than 5,000 nautical miles, they saw land in the port of La Guaira, Venezuela, where they landed in 1952. With nothing but their worn-out trousers and old shoes, hoping for a new life, they went out into this New World with the desire to work and forge a promising future. To these two great men, pillars of the De Grazia family, we pay homage by dedicating this menu, in honor of their courage.

This is for you, Zio Carmelo and Zio Rocco. We hope that this token of gratitude expresses all the love that we feel - the more than 350 members that today make up the De Grazia family.

May God bless you and have you in His holy glory.
