A lot of specials, food was delicious and the waitress was awesome. Very attentive and super friendly. The courses were timed perfectly, and the coffee was served at the exact same time as the dessert. Italian cheesecake was amazing. Chicken cutlets were not breaded for the chicken cutlet Parmesan which was a little disappointing. BYOB

My salmon dish lacked presentation and flavor. The grilled veggies were too thick for my liking. The crab cakes were decent, but I swear I think they had filler even though we were told it was just lump crabmeat. Very expensive in my opinion, considering the quality of the fare. Sorry, I won’t be eating there again.

This is the sister restaurant of Fresco’s in East Brunswick and it’s another winner. The service was not on par with Fresco’s this night, but it was probably due to our server having a party of 15 to serve. However, we weren’t neglected whatsoever as other servers along with other support staff did their best to ensure we had our meal served on time and some refills on our drinks. We started off with some crab stuffed mushrooms which were excellent and highly recommended. We ordered veal Marsala and a seafood capellini dish. Both were excellent and served in large portions, more than we could eat. The veal was tender and had a very nice sauce. The Seafood capellini had large pieces of lobster (more than expected), about 10-12shrimp and ample pieces of mussels along with clams, both in the shell (garlic and butter were prevalent ). Both dinners were excellent and had to take home leftovers of both. Would have given 5 stars, but the service just wasn’t that great this night, as indicated by the large party which detracted from our experience. All in all, I highly recommend this restaurant and will continue to patronize it again. BTW, it’s BYOB, in case you need to know. (Liquor store just next door). Ponte and Fresco’s are just a shade off from 5 stars, however I can’t rate it as such due to this site’s rating system ♂️ ♂️. Either site is worthy of a try, very good and never disappoints. Basically, Ponte is 4.7 and Fresco’s is 4.9 IMO. Enjoy!

This place is absolutely outdated. It’s an American country restaurant using a lot of Italian names. The price is reasonable, and the portion is super big! Unfortunately the pasta is over cooked. Their chicken marsala and chicken francese are the same chicken dish with different sauces. The sauces in general are too salty. Desserts are not impressive at all, supermarket grade. Need some big makeover from the kitchen.

Really shocked at how this place has 4.5 stars. Came here on a Saturday evening called 20 min prior to going and they had plenty of space available. Now I know why they had so much availability. The food was downright disgusting. Some of the nastiest calamari I’ve ever eaten due to how dry it was. My filet mignon was tough and chewy. Not sure where they source their meat from but they should definitely change vendors. My wife ordered penne a la vodka and that was the most okay thing we ate which was also sub par. Truly and thoroughly disappointed and wish I went to Taco Bell instead. Do not waste your money here. Go to steakhouse 85 in New Brunswick instead or order in for the night.

For a meal worth the price. Spend your money at this little hole in the wall of a restaurant that I did not know existed. We got the dinner for two which is a little pricey but it was WORTH EVERY PENNY. Delivery, taste, quality, freshness… Do not miss a chance to try out this place. You will not be disappointed and the serving staff is darling.

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone I know. The waiters are friendly and kind and the food is to die for. We celebrated my mother’s 60th birthday with a table of at least 20 25 people and it couldn’t have gone better. We had 6 or 7 family style appetizers and everyone chose their own dish. The restaurant even made the most beautiful cake! It was a wonderful night thank you!!
