Il Ponte

Very good service and nice tiramisu. That's about it. Wine selection is poor. Pasta were not enough cooked and were swimming in 1cm of olive oil. I mean. Literally (see picture). I'm passing on the soulless deco and the ridiculous italian background music. Not enough to make it a good italian restaurant.

Amazing restaurant! Everything we had was delicious. So many great choices, it was hard to pick, but we had the octopus, the branzino and the short rib ravioli and I highly recommend all of it! Service was excellent. Our server was very accommodating, patient, knowledgeable and super helpful with menu questions. By the time I remembered to take pictures the food was half eaten, so I took some of the dessert which was also delicious! Oh and wine bottles were half price! Also worth noting, their patio is heated and well adapted to current situation and up to code, and they take strict precautions to prevent the spread, which I always check before going anywhere.

Delicious! We tried items from all parts of the menu and it was fresh and delicious. We enjoyed a variety of plates family style so we could share. The chickpea flour calamari was perfect. The veal, beef and red snapper were perfect. I highly recommend il Ponte. We’ve been driving by for a while and so glad we finally went in. Will be going back.

At Il Ponte you can expect fresh made soups and salads, gourmet pizza and pasta, fresh fish and seafood dishes and local house butchered meats. Good wines will always be carefully selected to pair with our delicious food. Come join us for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday and become part of a brand new tradition in a historic neighbourhood, the lower east side. Don't order the pizza if you've eaten at the Italian one.
