A Family Legacy

Founded in 1977, La Fontanella started with a simple yet powerful vision: to bring the authentic taste of Italy to Hasselt. For nearly five decades, our family has welcomed guests as if they were stepping into our own home. We believe that true hospitality is timeless—it is about warmth, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for the craft.

Today, the second generation continues this tradition with pride. We honor our roots by staying true to classic recipes while embracing modern refinement. Our kitchen is not just a workspace; it is a place where memories are made, guided by the belief that the best ingredient is always love.
