When I heard that La Fontana, the low-key pizza restaurant in the Walk of Coral Springs had re-opened after a three-month hiatus, I was happy to hear that yet another business had not become yet another COVID-19 statistic. But it was not on the list of places that I was rearing to go dine at anytime soon.

After all, in the 10 years I’ve been a Coral Springs and South Florida resident, my wife and I have had not had one meal there. To me, it was simply yet-another-Italian restaurant serving pizza, one of the twenty-plus pizzerias in our town.
