“ 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. ”
“ So good we went twice in a week (second time with entire family)! The linguine marinara is to die for (no photo but this is the dish we had to come back for). Everything about the dish was cooked perfectly. The tiramisu was the best I have ever had. Service was top drawer. Very professional and considerate. Who'd have thought Croydon would have such a first class restaurant?! Wish they were nearer to us. We don't live near but we will definitely be back! ”
“ Had an evening at Ponte Nuovo for a birthday meal - the food was delicious, and the staff really made an effort to make sure everything was perfect and welcoming. The atmosphere and lighting was perfect and very relaxing. We will definitely be returning! ”

“ 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. ”
“ A wonderful spot for a relaxed meal with fantastic food! I went for the specials, and they certainly didn’t disappoint. Every bite was full of flavor, though if I were to be picky, I’d say the main could’ve done with a touch more potato and a little less spinach. That said, the overall experience was excellent. The staff were attentive without being intrusive—whenever I so much as looked up, they were there to ensure everything was just right. A great place to unwind and enjoy a delicious meal! ”
“ I celebrated my big birthday at Ponte Nuovo last night and had the best evening! The food was delicious! All served at once and all piping hot! The staff were amazing and made a lovely evening all the more enjoyable! Thank you to them! Highly recommend! ”
