Went for dinner tonight with my family and I was blown away. It was quiet with delightful music and mood lighting. The cocktails we tried (The Italian Affair & Margarita Italiano) were perfectly balanced and delicious. The bread they gave us was hot and served with butter. The olive oil we requested was super fresh and tasty. We ordered the pepperoni pizza and oysters for an appetizer and they exceeded expectations. We split the rigatoni with vodka and the arancini and both were incredible. The rapini was a little overdone, but had good flavor. What a hidden gem! Did not disappoint.

First time here. The pasta is homemade and exquisite. The atmosphere is subtle and very welcoming. The food is delicious. Saturdays they have jazz music playing after 6 and I enjoyed the two person jazz band. Very relaxed and not feeling rushed at all. My only complaint is that as the sun went down the lighting got dimmer. I wouldn’t have changed the lighting at all.

Went here with a big group (10) including little kids. They were happy to seat us in the semi-private room that they weren’t seating that night, just because we asked for bench seating — which was so nice and they totally didn’t have to do that! The food was excellent. Pizza was so good. Pork chop, burger, homemade pasta. The salads were HUGE. Would definitely come back here!

First just go, the food is great and enjoyable. It isn’t like typical places around as far as the menu it will have you picking non ordinary things although it does have some usual staples. People have complained about the service but this is a place you go and enjoy and aren’t rushed out. There is 2 places they need to work on here, first like before it’s an older crowd, they need to get younger people coming in because when you walk in and 90% is older you may question things. Second the bar is dead. They need to get creative and get that full, especially with a happy hour and a bar only menu during that time to draw people in. It is a nice spot and will never be a local watering hole but some cool unique mixers and food items that will work. So anyway this place won’t break the bank but isn’t pizzeria pricing, relaxing and not rushed atmosphere with great food go there. This will be my new spot for Italian around here.

Not ever again! Ordered shrimp over risotto. Was served shrimp “soup” with rice. It tasted ok, but it was ridiculous carelessness in the assembly of the dish and just flat out stupid. Look at this pic I attached. There’s risotto under all that slop if you can believe it! Ok, so the cook made a mistake, but then the waiter couldn’t see he was serving a hot mess??? That means they don’t care about what they serve, so I don’t care to go back.

The food was absolutely delicious! From the appetizer to the main course and dessert, everything was amazing. Although I am not usually a big fan of dessert and was already feeling full, I couldn’t resist trying it since the appetizer and main course were so good. Dessert was great as well. This place is definitely a hidden gem.

I’ve been to Al Ponte a few times for dinner at a table and at the bar. For the quality of food we got, the price is amazing. Cocktails are on point. Wine selection is great and reasonably priced. Pork chop is outstanding(as pictured). Same with the bolognese. All the pasta is homemade and delicious. Christmas decor at this time of year was certainly a nice touch. Definitely one of the best Italian restaurants around.

This is a great place with delicious cocktails and fresh food. The bourbon whiskey sour is so good and beer is served in ice cold glasses. The antipasto salad is filled with cheese and meats. The rice balls are delicious and the we pizza is the best. Highly recommend. Also Justin is a great bartender. This will be a weekly visit for us to try many of the items on the menu.

Absolutely fantastic. The drink menu had so many options of good wines and spirits. The pizza appetizer was one of the best I have ever had. The Italian options and hand made pastas were outstanding. Our party had two of the specials which they loved. We are really pleased that we found this place which immediately became our favorite place to eat!
