I went to this restaurant on a Monday evening to meet friends expecting it to be very quiet. However even though it was a Monday the front area was busy with a great atmosphere and lovely welcoming staff. The food was cooked and prepared to a very high standard, the cocktails were fabulous and we had a great evening. Would definitely go back.

A go to Italian in Croydon - Ponte Nuovo I've been to Ponte Nuovo in Croydon quite a few times now. My family and I were invited to a 100th and 90th birthday celebration this past year (2024). I've met my school friends there and had quite a few family lunches. I recommended the restaurant to my Mother's friend to celebrate her 90th Birthday after we had been to the 100th birthday luncheon at the start of the year. I was initially nervous recommending the restaurant, in case it did not meet her or her guests' expectations. My mother's friend was very worried about hosting a birthday luncheon for various reasons, but she now looks back with only fond and wonderful memories of the 90th birthday celebration she had there. The restaurant delivered in spades! She had a fantastic time and her guests LOVED the food. The decor is very modern and the food is fantastic. The portions are very generous and the food is cooked to perfection. We are always absolutely stuffed, when we leave the restaurant. The Manager recognises our family now and always greets us warmly. We were a little cheeky when we last visited the restaurant. We asked for a prawn starter which wasn't on the menu. We had it on another occasion and they kindly cooked it for again us. It was delicious. I'm not sure we needed it as we were so full after the main course, but we managed to fit in a dessert too. It is a really great place for celebrations, to spend quality time with friends or family over a wonderful meal. We love this restaurant! We would not hesitate to recommend it for that special occasion.

First time eating here. The food is absolutely delicious, one of the best I've tasted outside of Italy. The staff are very attentive and are lovely with kids. They always ensure the kids get their meals first. Cannot fault them. Great team and great chefs.

One of the best dining out experiences I've ever had. The waiter was extremely polite and professional. They went out of their ways to accommodate our requests. Food was very tasty! A really nice dinner in a very pleasant place.

Delicious food and lovely staff. I really enjoyed the spinach and ricotta ravioli, which came in rich, flavourful tomato sauce. Also tried the norma pasta and was very happy with how much garlic was coming through, splendid! Merlot was excellent, and even simple things like the olives (big queen ones) were really great, in a chilli oil which the chef makes himself. Professional and friendly service was also much appreciated, and we're looking forward to visiting again!
