We had a wonderful dinner here. I had the shrimp fra diavolo with linguine & my wife had the whole lobster , also fra diavolo with linguine. Both dishes were outstanding & so big we took some home. We also had delicious appetizers, tuna tartare & fried soft shell crabs. With drinks the total came to $200+. Service was excellent throughout the dinner.

We were there for a party. Food was delicious, and service was excellent. We will definitely come back to try other items on the menu.

Always a good time when you’re eating in Brooklyn. Lite Saturday early dinner late lunch. Spot on as always. Not shown was the dessert should be outlawed hot pecan pie with vanilla ice cream. Ming

Overall, great Italian cuisine in a respectively competitive area. The food was certainly of the quality for what you pay. I ordered the linguine Neri (squid ink pasta) with sweet Italian sausage and calamari. This was extremely flavorful, tender, and savory within each forkful. I'm happy to state that I left that place very satisfied! The staff were fantastic, welcoming, and warm. I recommend anyone who enjoys an authentic Italian meal to go to Bay Ridge and stop by to Ponte Vecchio. Some of the best around.

First time there. Waited even though we had reservations and others “regular guests “were seated after we were there waiting. Pasta was very good, baked clams were delicious. Escarole very good. My veal spedini was tough. Service was pleasant and good. Very loud, hard to hear our conversation.

I think the vibe of this place is great and service is excellent. The food is pricey, especially for Bay Ridge, and leaves a little to be desired. We got the calamari which was quite good and a big portion to start. Bread was good too. Had the veal parm as my main which only came with broccoli. It was aight. Nothing special. the sauce was good and it was pounded thin but could have been a better piece of veal. Also no pasta? This is Italian American not Italian. The pasta/primi and secondi combo shouldn’t apply here. Let me tell you why… my partner got the farfalle dish which had large chunks of lightly fried chicken in it. This dish was reasonably tasty but large chunks of meat should not be in a primi. Considering the vibe of the rest of the menu, I thought it was a bit strange to not include pasta and have a relatively mediocre veal chop. I also thought her dish was just average. Nothing special about the pasta and strange to have such large chunks of light breaded chicken. Overall I would rate this below Michaels or Spumoni in Brooklyn and below the great spots on Arthur Ave but better than your average Italian in Manhattan for vibe and service. It is a great place with a big party but maybe not the best if you want top top tier Italian cuisine.

Very tasty food here at Ponte Vecchio. The sea bass, the shrimp and the squid appetizer were all well done. Service is friendly and fast. Shout out to Mo, a very friendly waiter. Nice place for family functions or business dinners.

Whatever you do--check your bill. The biggest problem I had with this restaurant was being overcharged for my entree vs the price on the menu. The waiter did correct this when I brought it to his attention. This restaurant also charges $10 for using your debit/credit card. I eat out all the time, I have never seen a charge like this. The seafood salad was good. The wine was reasonably priced per glass. However--I was really disappointed with my entree. The chicken caprese was a pounded chicken breast--a couple of cut up pieces of zucchini and asparagus for $30. I couldn't even tell it was asparagus. There are much better dining options here in Bay Ridge. The good news is that I will be spending my hard earned money elsewhere.

Appetizers were ok until I received a steak with a salad covered in balsamic vinegar on the same plate.!! Big mistake. Salads should always be served separately. It ruined the whole dinner since I was looking forward to that steak. Service was horrible. So many “big shots” waiters. We were sat next to their station close to the restrooms and we could keep hearing them complaining about almost every table. It was not nice. Atmosphere, Loud music it seemed like we were in a nightclub and not a restaurant.

After living in the neighborhood for years, we were excited to try PV and went around 7 on a Friday night. It was busy (10 mins wait for a table for 2) so we had a drink at the bar. We had an espresso martini ($20) and a negroni ($18) and for two drinks+tax+tip, it was slightly over $50! They were good but a little steep imo. We had the stuffed artichoke ($16) which came with a medium sized artichoke but the only stuffing was a bit on top. Literally just on top and had nothing stuffed into the leaves so that was disappointing. Perhaps there was a new person prepping this dish. My husband had the chicken marsala and it was good - not a huge portion compared to other neighborhood Italian restaurants. I had a pasta dish which was lacking in salt and pepper. My husband tried it and said the same thing. They gave us a tin container of cheese and most places usually come by with fresh black pepper or grated cheese. Maybe it's unfair to expect that from every Italian restaurant but for the price and that is a Fine Italian restaurant, I anticipated that level of service. We sat in the corner and between the music and the large group next to us that was loudly enjoying with their friends (as they should!), we had to yell at each other to be heard and we're not even 40 yet. Before we finished our last bite, we gave up trying to talk and got the check. The waiter asked us if something was wrong and I shared it was a bit loud. He apologized but it's not his fault. Overall, we were disappointed by the experience. Perhaps it was an off day and maybe we'll give it another try.

Went for a learning dinner. There was no private room and the restaurant was noisy. Menu was classic Italian food but very pricey. The Chilean sea bass was had a teriyaki marinade that was very salty. The broccoli rabe with garlic was tasty. Everything a la carte. Waiters weren't very attentive. Valet was very convenient and quick.

I recently visited Ponte Vecchio with a friend, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. We were served by a waiter with spiky hair who was noticeably chubby and shockingly rude. His attitude was dismissive, unprofessional, and made the entire visit uncomfortable. From the moment we sat down, we felt unwelcome. Basic courtesies were ignored, and any questions we asked were met with sarcasm or eye-rolling. It honestly ruined what should have been a nice outing. I expected much more from a place with this kind of reputation, but this experience left a bad taste and it had nothing to do with the food. I won’t be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who values respectful service.

I never have this rush Friday night dinner!! Indeed, feel not welcome at all.. and is Birthday dinner!!!! 😡 Few server around us always. Once we put fork down, they will come to ask you ready??? Once we let them know we don't need dessert but 6 of us still having our wine. Another server put the bill down in a minute!! And asking extra charge on credit card?!! This generation, extra credit card service charge??!?!?! Asked the server about the charges, he told us it's been 4 years... we don't mind to pay for service charge! But very not willing to pay extra without notice. Pasta is salty. Medium red on steak... and we got medium The only good food is the bread.
