We've been to Il Ponte a few times now, and have enjoyed it everytime. Always a great selection of amazing meals. The service is the best. Always attentive and ensuring that your experience is top notch. We usually go early before it gets really busy. But that's just us. Either way, the food is amazing and the atmosphere is pleasant. Cheers.

Ordered from both the Sumerlicious menu and the regular menu. The $55 Sumerlicious menu was good value and actually offered a large selection of meals representative of the the regular menu. My past experience with "licious" menus has been that the available selections are not comparable to the regular menu at any of the "licious" price levels. Had crab/scallop cakes (excellent), bruschetta (okay), chicken breast with a creamy mushroom sauce accented with Pernod (lovely recipe though diminished by the health code rule that chicken breast must always be overcooked), and a nicely pink pork tenderloin in a maple/pecan sauce. The mains were both garnished with fresh vegetables and mashed (real) potato. One (split) dessert, a sticky toffee pudding, was good. The food appeared to be prepared in house and to order rather than in bulk. We would return.

Disappointing. I have been going there for years but it was my first time back since the renovation and while the restaurant looks great, I found the prices outrageous, the menu quite limited and was disappointed that they no longer offer pizza. Sadly, we won’t be going back. But, I will say the service was excellent.
