Brought up in Malta, Louisette started out her business as a hobby and never expected that Fontanella would eventually become what it is today. 

​

While the menu has been added and improved along the years, few favourites, such as the chocolate cake and strawberry meringue; have been unchanged since 1975! Everything is freshly prepared homemade every day. 

​

Once entering the premises, Fontanella holds an indoor-meets-outdoor style garden, with fairy lights to illuminate the trees and tables at night. There are two staircases that take you to the upper floor; overlooking the bastions, you will immerse yourself to a magical view of the Maltese Islands.

The Baroque Fountain

​

Fontanella Tea Garden derives its name from the 17th century fountain found inside the tea garden belonging to a prominent family in Mdina. The Putto con Delfino (angel with dolphin) was made from the original cast of Il Putto di Verrocchio.
