Italian restaurants, sub shops, calzone counters and Italian delis sit next to the pizzerias on this site because most of them bake pizza too, often from the same dough. Full-service Italian restaurants take reservations for dinner, add a tip line for table service (15-20% is customary) and usually run a cheaper lunch menu on weekdays. Sub and sandwich shops are counter-order and quick, with sizes by the inch or in half and whole lengths. Calzones and strombolis are priced like a medium pizza and are large enough to share. Italian delis and bakeries sell by weight and by the piece, and many close mid-afternoon.

The business lists hours on 6 days of the week. On most of those days it is open 11:30 am–10:30 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. The listed phone number is (518) 482-9898. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is thefountainrestaurantny.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Its Google rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 753 reviews, a solid but mixed picture; reading the most recent reviews will tell you what to expect.

Albany is in New York, in the Northeast, where four distinct seasons shape local life: hot humid summers, snowy winters that can close businesses for a day, and a dense pattern of towns where walking, transit and street parking all matter. Traffic in Albany peaks on weekday mornings and afternoons, so allow extra time then. Addresses read from the street number up to the city, state abbreviation and five-digit ZIP code; the map link on this page shows the exact spot.

We did a pick up order. It was fast and efficient even thought it was real busy. The gluten free cauliflower pizza was really good and regular pizza was also really good. Great local place. We will be back to try the sandwiches.

I went here for my 20th birthday part with some friends. Their loaded potatoes are delicious and their burgers are so juicy and flavorful! Everyone had a really fun time. The waiters were great and we were able to bring a homemade cake for dessert. Definitely recommend going here with a group and I highly recommend ordering their appetizers.

We got fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken The grilled chicken was super dry The fettuccine was not good, not edible I asked for a burger with lettuce, tomato onion. They only gave me lettuce and then proceeded to tell me they had no tomatoes, I asked for the burger with a little bit of pink, and it gave it to me super rare We got a pizza that was not very good. It just was OK. We used to love their wings. The wings were not good at all. The way that was very nice and friendly however there is not enough of them We did not have plates or silverware so we stared at our food while we waited I was surprised to see there is no weight, but after experiencing your food for the final time, I can see why the place was not busy I would not recommend this to anyone and I will not be back after being there for several years

Tonight my husband took me and my older son out to dinner for my birthday. Ironically back in 1992 when we first met he brought me here for our first date. . We have gone many times though out the years with Family and friends. Everything about the Fountain is amazing. They have the best French Onion soup in the area. A favorite of ours. The pizza is delicious as well. Nachos the best. Tonight I has shrimp Scampi. It was out of this world! My husband and son had burgers that they said were delicious as well. The staff went above and beyond beyond for us. Thank you all for a wonderful dinner and Birthday 💙

Stopped by again today, 5/29/26, and again I had the burger and tuna mac. And again, it was great for me. I may never get back to the pizza which would be sad. It was good to see Ginger again also......Visited again, yesterday (2/26/26). It has been a while. I have been in Italy (includingSicily), Croatia, Montenegro, and Greece recently. Visited 10 cities, trying pizza and pasta where ever i could. Had a pizza at Brandi's in Napoli, birthplace of the Margarita pizza. Of course, I had one. I will look at these places in the future, in the appropriate spaces. Back to the Fountain. It was my goal to enjoy the pizza again here at the Fountain, very good as it remember. But again, I had the burger and tuna mac. And again was very good. Jen waited on me again and it was a pleasure to see her as well as Ginger, who i had a nice conversation with. I shall return and have the pizza, or will I? Haha. I should just get one to go while having the burger there. But want to have it right out of the oven. Life's dilemmas. Added 3 new photos. Visited again today 8/2. Comments at the end. This will be a long review..... Yesterday I visited a restaurant that has been around for a long time. [The
