    You have to know what you are looking for or use GPS to find the Pink Door. It has a speakeasy feel to it. Loved the ambiance and everything about the place. We ate in the lounge where the entertainment was, which was great. For a more formal experience try the dining room at the back. It has the views. The Pink Door offers a wonderful evening of food and entertainment. Our server Dina was great.

    I went to La Fontana Sicilana for the first time in over 30 years! The ambiance was how I remembered it. Super sweet and quaint. The staff were amazing. Ray our server was tentative, kind, knowledgeable. He made it a memorable experience for my sisters and especially me! We were a party of six so we were able to try many options on the menu which all did not disappoint. If I had to say one thing I would change, it would be to not overcook the gnocchi! A smidge mushy, but still amazing in flavor. Thank you for bringing my memory and youth back! Love that you haven't changed a thing. Why change a Michelangelo:)
