A Family Tradition Since 1980 🍽️
La Fontana began in 1980 in Upata, Venezuela, founded by Palmerino and Nahir De Grazia. The walls still show real photos of their large family gatherings, capturing a spirit that continues today. With seven children and a love for food, the De Grazia family built more than a restaurant—they built a place where people come together to enjoy honest Italian meals and shared memories around the table.
