Fondata 1872 lives up to its reputation for rustic Italian food. Located in the beautiful Kangaroo Ground.
We arrived for Pre-dinner drinks at the bar and discovered the fabulous Brix Wines ‘Mother Vine’ Pinot Noir 🍷🙌
Diining in the restaurant was a great experience. Ambience perfect, lovely open fire place. 🔥
Dinner selection: zucchini flowers, crispy pork belly with lentils, poached quince, red wine jus, and the 12 hour slow cooked lamb shoulder. Delicious 😋
The staff were friendly and professional adding to our dining experience.
Highly recommend a visit 💫

This place has a lovely view, although tucked in a corner of the road, it was easy to locate. There's also a cute little duck pond near the parking. The food was decent but the wait was a bit long. The staff were friendly and responsive. It's a nice place to try out.

Celebrated our anniversary lunch here and really enjoyed it. Nice atmosphere, good food, and very friendly service. The location is great with plenty of free parking, which was a bonus. A pleasant and relaxing dining experience.

Beautiful place, very cozy. Love the fire place and the fairy lights. Really like the ambience of the restaurant, the staff were friendly and accommodating. We ordered 3 courses dinner with a bottle of wine. The food was good in general, my children enjoyed their main whereas my fish was a little blend and there was a fish bone. Desserts were delicious.
I didn’t like the toilet experience, not sure who went or what happened before me, the corridor to the toilets and inside the women’s smelt so terrible. Ventilation may not be good around there.

I first visited Fondata for a work Christmas function which was fantastic . Fabulous food , incredible views and a great atmosphere. I returned on a Sunday for there 3-5 pm Sunday afternoon session . There is a small but adequate menu of snacks . The lemon pepper calamari was a stand out . These 2 hours give you a chance to relax , enjoy the views and enjoy a drink . Will be returning for dinner ! Highly recommend
