"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."

"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 had lunch with family yesterday and I can’t say enough great things about our experience. The food was outstanding and the service was top notch. Our server/bar tender Patrick was so gracious, accommodating and is great at his job. Can’t wait to go back."

"Wow, I get to write review #500! Classy Italian restaurant with solid entree and appetizer choices and a willingness to make off the menu dishes. Even the bread is excellent! Outstanding desserts, leave room if you can! Their service is top notch (thank you Pat and your assistant from Ecuador whose name I did not catch). A popular restaurant with a well earned reputation. I suggest you go at an off hour when it is not crowded"
