Is our first time in cantina del ponte and definitely a great beginning...... at first impact the restaurant looks really familiar and with a fizzy atmosphere

The manager Antonio looking after us, and the waiter Alessandro help us to choose our dishes, with an attentive food knowledge

We got bruschetta and octopus as starter,as main the special lobster tagliolini and the cacio e pepe both delicious and well flavoured

So well done to the chefs
We recommend this place for anyone looks for good Italian food

after a suggestion of an italian friend we decide to try this place, and was a really good choice

we enjoy the nice view seated on the terrace which is one of the best in the city....
we received a warm welcome on arrival all the staff was really attentive and friendly

everything accomplished of a really good meal flavoured an tasty
my colleague decided to for the set menu which looks a really good value for money

for me i tried the burrata and the seafood spaghetti absolutely fantastic

definitely come back

Excellent atmosphere, staff and view from the outside seating. All very well priced.

Only positive is the location and view. Awful food, poor service and very over priced. Please give this a miss for your pocket and your palate.

Had the £25 weekend buffet deal. Service was slow at our table and the help yourself buffet was often left with many plates empty and slow to be replenished.

There's nothing more disappointing than going to a place you've been to many times before and associate with good times, and then you're met with disaster on many fronts.

A new buffet style antipasti and desert menu with a choice of main was grossly overpriced, grossly inadequate and of exceptionally low quality, with rare replenishment and only of the cheapest deserts. Under no circumstances, would I recommend anyone order that menu.

The service was woeful- despite having booked and reconfirming that morning no table was ready on arrival despite more than half the restaurant being empty, waiting 15 minutes for that to still not happen and so going in to sit at the only table that could be ours, forgotten drinks, tables where patrons had left remaining uncleaned with empty bottles and half eaten food left for 45+ minutes.

A real disappointment. It was great when it was great.

Great food, great ingredients cooked to perfection. Location is fantastic. The team is very helpful

Great evening with great food and brilliant service

Well-priced riverside restaurant with outside seating which is less noisy. Good set menu options - we all had different mains and they were all good. Open Table deal includes a glass of fizz, making it excellent value.

Loved this restaurant and its views of London!!

Best Lasagna i have ever had. By far. Go here for real Italian food and superb view over River Thames! I come back.

My mom loved it!

Fabulous in every way. Great food, decor, location and service. The three course deal with Prosecco is great value. This place is fantastic.

Convenient location for the Bridge Theatre, just a couple of minutes' walk away. Limited choice on the set menu, but the food was good and the three courses + prosecco menu is very good value. Friendly, efficient service, but the atmosphere was rather quiet - we were the only ones eating inside - and the music - largely Frank Sinatra - was a little off-putting!

We had no idea there would be a live opera singer, it was such a delightful surprise. This is a great restaurant for a relaxed get-together or special night out. We were celebrating our engagement and a couple next to us were celebrating a birthday. The food was middle of the road, perfectly fine, but the value is in the service, atmosphere and live singing. We had a lovely time.

Excellent service by all the staff from the moment we stepped in the restaurant until we left. Felt like being in Italy with the food and warm hospitality by the staff. Guests from the US were extremely pleased topped with the amazing location and views all around.

Excellent!!!

Very pleased with the ambience and service.
Would definitely recommend aa a nice place for dinner

Good it bad, view is good! Won’t go back there again as this is Italian for English , not real Italian I am afraid!

Excellent food and service. We received a warm welcome from the reception which flowed through to waiting on the table and also making recommendations on choices. Great overall experience.

We've been having a family reunion at 'La cantina del Ponte' and we felt like home from the beginning. It's an Italian based cuisine served in a lovely dining area with an amazing view.
My family really enjoyed the food and the kindness of the Italian waiter, I loved the position and the style that perfectly combine together the Italian tradition to the London lifestyle.

Authentic italian ambience and food.

Great service and ambience, ordered the Parmesan wheel fettuccini. Was great, but why isn’t the Parmesan wheel cooking done table side? Expected theatre so was disappointed when there was none.

Food was quite good. Fun entertainment with opera singer. However, felt very ignored as a single diner. Tables on either side who were couples got frequent service where I had to ask for assistance each time. Appetizer and entree arrived at same time.

There was an opera singer performing during our meal, which added to the ambiance.

Food was average and for the same dish the portion is not standard, the seafood of the long pasta dish was not very fresh, and the mussels and clams are tiny for the price. Service was slow but friendly. Ambience - quite noisy on a busy Friday night.

Good food, exceptional service and good value for money.

Food superb, service great and table positioned by the window as requested for our foreign guests. Just a bit cramped on the table but we did expand the party by one to make it 10 plus we were mostly guys. Would visit again for sure in the summer when you can sit outside. Recommend!!

The restaurant was good. You pay for the view, though the food was great. We were there during the snowy period so it was a bit cold inside and for good reason, a bit empty. That said the food is lovely and staff are friendly, though a bit slow.

Great food, great location and great service!

The set menu was particularly good value.

The view is amazing, the service is good, the food is great value for their price. Love the dessert.

I really wanted to like Cantina del Ponte - but we found the food and service were just simply ok. They also screwed up two orders for starters and it took ages for the right orders to come out.

A fantastic Italian restaurant on the banks of the Thames in the heart of London at Tower Bridge! Our overall experience was exceptional. The service from the manager to the service staff was superb. The food was delicious and the menu was varied and accessible. What a hidden gem! I cannot wait to go back. The chef even came to our table to see how our dinner was. 5 Stars!

Its fine for a one off meal if you are n the area. Perfectly polite and pleasant just felt pricey and formulaic

Good value lunchtime menu. Very friendly and attentive staff. Great views of the river!

Wouldn't recommend. Food was fine but fairly simple and not great value overall. Most disappointing thing was that a male chef used the women's bathroom.

A really good Italian restaurant with a frequently changing menu, excellent selection, very good food, in a casual ambience. Charming staff who remember you from one time to the next. A great place also for pre theatre dinner if you're going to The Bridge. You can get a carafe of wine instead of a bottle, which is sometimes all you want.

The staff was very friendly and Italian, the food nothing special - very average - small portions but lovely Tiramisu, restaurant ambiance inside felt a little cold, sterile, large open space, old interior. Also they still had Xmas decoration/fairy lights on which just felt a little dated and quite touristy. I am sure a big plus is the outdoor space in summer and stunning views of Tower Bridge. Besides that, I don't think we would return again to this restaurant.

This was our first visit to Cantina del Ponte, for a pre-theatre meal before visiting the Bridge Theatre, just a few steps away. Ideal location, rather quiet when we arrived, but livened up later. The staff were friendly and efficient, the food was very enjoyable, and the price very reasonable. We will definitely return.

My friend and I dined here for a girly catch up. I ordered the smoked mozzarella /tomato bread for starters and sea bass dish for mains- the food was tasty and portion size was good. We dined from the 2 courses for £20 menu, which came with a complimentary glass of prosecco, so would say the meal was definitely value for money. Service was pleasant and the general ambiance was relaxed. The restaurant is on Butlers wharf pier so the view is very pretty. Points for improvement would be: the restaurant itself is a little tricky to find since a maps app will direct you to the delivery only entrance, which is a couple of corners away from the actual restaurant; perhaps a sign could be added to the delivery entrance to redirect you. The toilets are also quite dirty which is surprising for an otherwise clean, well decorated and maintained restaurant. Lastly, the a la carte menu is not very veggie friendly - more options would be appreciated.
