Cantina del Ponte

60th Birthday meal for a friend

never miss the expectation attentive service and amazing food always with quality ingredients

one of the best italian choice in the area

We were 10 minutes late arriving as my friend had a fall on the way there. As we'd booked the set menu we were just late for that but she rushed us so we could still have it. Unfortunately we didn't get a choice of extra vegetables which would have been good with the salmon.
They were very slow bringing the one dessert one of my friends had ordered as their 2nd course.
Overall ok but nothing special

Had a fantastic time at this lovely and lively restaurant. Our kids stayed until 9:30pm and the staff were very attentive and accommodating. Imagine it is great in the summer to sit outside as the view of the bridge was beautiful.

Date night..😁😁
Terrific food, service was efficient and unobtrusive.
Highly recommended..

Once again visited Cantina del Ponte before going to the Bridge Theatre, which is just 5 minutes' walk away. As usual, the staff were very welcoming and service was efficient - apart from a longish wait for the main course, though this wasn't a problem. The food was very pleasant, and value on the set menu is outstanding.

Always a great experience with this location, amazing food, staff and location.

I live locally and eat here regularly. The food is really good and seasonal variations. Fantastic service and good value.

A special 60th birthday celebration with 9 of us. Good food and service, but marred by a charge of £5 per person for having a birthday cake that we bought ourselves - £45. A bit steep by any standards. Shame.

A good option for pre-theatre dining for the Bridge Theatre. The set menu had a good range of options and the portion sizes were generous enough. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Very enjoyable. Great food & service. Quite noisy.

Lovely restaurant, great food and good value. This visit was for a works night out. I'll definitely be back with family!

Much noise during the dining ,the restaurant is small and and the tables nearly.
I took lobster fettuccine and the pastas were too cooked and soft ,the sauce very simply, I made better at home.
We paid for the bread ,focaccia and finally everything made a lot of money.It seems cheap but it isn’t ,the portions are smalls .

No real ambience as place was quite loud. Service was ok but not super attentive. Food was mediocre, some dishes like the veal seem overpriced whilst the pasta is good.

Good food, good environment,beautiful view. A little bit expensive

The Risotto for two got almost a round of applause.

The staff very accommodating of us, even though we were quite late.

Great venue on the river. Excellent food and attentive service.

amazing meal with a friend, original Italian food with a good selection in the menu

friendly service in a proper Italian way

waiting to come back in summer with open terrace

one of my favourite restaurant

It started with a phone call 2 hours before we were due to say that the kitchen was closing at 3, our reservation was at 2.30, so we had to order as soon as we got there.When we got there they looked surprised at us walking through the door. The service was lack lustre. They gave us the menu’s, cake to take out order and said the kids could only have pasta ( why not tell us at the time of giving us the menu?) The place is due a paint as it looks shabby and the toilets aren’t great.
Our food was also Incredibly salty, we all reacted with red faces and being very thirsty. We won’t be returning.

Service was very Professional , the only thing that let the evening down was the food .just ok not amazing

Not the best experience. Food was average and the restaurant has poor acoustics. Our main concern was our server who had bad body odour that made it most unpleasant during the service.

Had to request a bowl for fish shells as well as Parmesan cheeses and black pepper. Normally these are brought out at any good Italian restaurant.

Great venue - super food - fabulous atmosphere and really attentive staff!

Quite Monday dinner

One of my favourite Italian restaurant in the area even for a last minute dining
I always fell Wellcome like at home
Simple and taste Italian food and attentive service

My go to word for our meal was ‘nice’.
Nice food, nice place, service a bit slow.

Authentic experience. Great food. Reasonable value.

We had the evening standard set menu which was 2 courses and a glass of wine for £15 or 3 courses and a glass of wine for £20.
The food was well seasoned and good portion sizes, this was also brought out in good time.

We went before a meal before seeing matinee at the news Bridge Theatre and it’s a great location for that. The staff were lovely and food wholesome flavoursome Italian fare.
My only suggestion is that the bruschetta would be better if it was toasted both sides, it would only take a moment more but would have been much better.

We were disappointed by the slow service even though we had alerted staff when we arrived that we only had just over an hour to eat and had ordered straightaway. We were served by different staff at the table and noone seemed to keep track of our order. We waited over 30m for main course and had to ask twice for dessert that I'd ordered at the outset. The polenta crust bream tasted of burnt oil. Panna cotta with berries was fine but had to eat in a rush.
And the bill had 12.5% service automatically added which we feel on this occasion was not deserved but were in too much of rush to get to theatre to quibble. Not good value.

Very nice food, friendly staff, good value and nice location - would be lovely in the summer!

Nice wine and the set menu offers good value but the risotto was a bit dry and did not seem very fresh. The location is lovely and the service was great though!

Excellent food at great value, the view is amazing and the service was impeccable - great find for our group and would definitely eat here again.

Too few staff on for a Friday evening, so service was rather hit and miss. Food was very good as usual.

Had another lovely time in this beautifully located restaurant that offers real Italian food and great value deals.

We live next door - always great but a shame to hear people are on the move. I hope standards are maintained

lovely dinner with friend the service always attentive especially alessandro our waiter really looking after our table and suggest us the best plate to choose
really good quality food and good choice

really nice atmosphere next to tower bridge

waiting to go back

Very quiet for a Friday lunchtime - only two other people there when we arrived - so therefore distinctly lacking in atmosphere. Service was very good as would be expected given there were more staff than customers....

amazing lunch very attentive service, and always a really good quality of food
always a best choice for a typical italian meal

waiting to come back

This was a booking for an alternative to turkey for Christmas dinner. This was a set menu and it provided a wide choice.

The food was very good and of a high quality considering the numbers of people being served and I enjoyed myself very much indeed.

My only criticism, if that is fair? Is that there was too much food for me personally. I am not a big eater and the restaurant served up way too much for me. This is such a small issue but it is worth noting as I don't like to waste food.

Nice traditional Italian food , spectacular location

Good tables. Great views of tower bridge. Food for a date . Good food.
