Ponte Nuovo in Croydon

Food was delicious and quick !! Renaldo was very welcoming. Portions were a good size. Highly recommend! Vegan options were tasty!!

Food - Very good but a little pricey. Restaurant area - Good, Smart & Clean but table looked warn. Service to the table - Good & fast but did not allow for a longer gap between courses even though requested. Toilets (Female) - Needs complete refurbishment, especially sinks had black Mold around plug areas. Owners need to re-think the journey the customer has to the toilets & how to impress in & on the way.

Met friends here for lunch and enjoyed our meals. Each dish was tasty and a good portion without being too large. Large menu to chose from. Very attentive staff - Ronaldo was great - without being over bearing and will definitely visit again when next in the area. We will be back!

Ronaldo was lovely and we’ve been here on several occasions and it is always lovely to visit. They have the best pizza and ragù pasta

37 family and friends celebrated a 90th birthday with a fabulous lunch at Ponte Nuovo. Ronaldo and the team were so friendly and efficient - they couldn't have been more helpful, making it a very special occasion. The food was excellent , enjoyed by all.

Really lovely food, very tasty and generous in portion size. Great atmosphere and great service from Steven - very friendly and very prompt and attentive. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for somewhere to eat. Loved the rabbit!

Excellent food and amazing service by Roland and Oli. Made sure everything we needed was sorted for us. Great cocktail and drinks selection along with a great Italian menu.

Food and service always suburb even if they can't provide (at the moment) a diary alternative for hot drinks, but I'm not sure if they would allow dancing on the tables.

Lovely food, great ambience and a nice setting for a date night. Steven was very attentive and welcoming. Service was excellent.

Been a few times now with work and the food it amazing. Staff are always friendly and welcoming definitely recommend restaurant for any need business or pleasure.

I went here to celebrate my birthday with 12 friends. The service was fantastic, the food amazing and the wine selection great. The staff sang happy birthday to me and all were really friendly and always cracking jokes. Such a great atmosphere. If you want to celebrate anything, I would highly recommend Ponte Nuovo. I want to take this opportunity and thank the team for their wonderful hospitality. WE WILL BE BACK! Darren Speck

The service that I experienced when I had my three course meal was second to none. The waitress who served me was really helpful.

I went here with my partner for the first time. The food, service and ambience was brilliant. Steven was fantastic and his cocktails were amazing. Great variety on the menus and all staff were so friendly and attentive! We will defiantly be back for the divine food!

Highly recommended. The food is lovely, and the staff go over and above, to ensure you have an enjoyable visit. Peppe looked after us yesterday and even too our 'very' wet coats to the 'drying room'. The were returned to us on wooden hangers. So nice not to have them dripping everywhere.

Surprisingly Excellent. Maybe it’s me but Croydon wasn’t on my list of destinations for food. Happened to find ourselves here for a last minute dinner. Pepe was fabulous from our first call to book a table through to our departure. Steven helped us enjoy our meal. The menu is good with a range of solid Italian classics (as you would find in Italy) and items with more general appeal (like pizza) for the local palette. Lovely people, lovely food, so friendly. Took the time to make sure we had the best meal. Great attitude, unexpected in a busy town center restaurant.

Had a wonderful time celebrating my mum's birthday. Just the two of us and we felt spoilt. From the exceptional service including the team singing her happy birthday to the incredible authentic pasta dishes and starters. The squid was a firm favourite. Thank you Ronaldo...

This is always a great experience especially when Ronaldo is around. The customer service is excellent and the portions are generous

I had my Birthday Dinner here. The place was amazing. I enjoyed every minute of it The host were Great and the waitress were very nice. My host peppe was amazing ❤️

Was served and looked after last night by the lovely and bubbly Pepe and Ronaldo. Attentive, warm, friendly and knowledgeable their customer service is 10/10. We had the small private room at the back it was my birthday and they came and sang happy birthday...

Made a lunch booking for 18 for my retirement. Food and service was faultless. All dishes for each course came out together - no-one was left waiting. Food was hot and full of flavour. No hesitation in recommending this venue for a larger booking -...

Food is always delicious, staff are brilliant, went for a birthday and they made a big fuss of the birthday girl, will definitely be returning.

This place, what a hidden gem. I was there last night for a surprise 40th birthday celebration. Food was fantastic, service amazing, they really could not do enough for us. A wonderful experience, and have to mention the quality of the food again, and would...

This is mine and my finances regular spot to go on date night, not only is it the best Italian food in the area, the team here are incredible. Special shout out to Ronaldo who is always so welcoming. Would 100% recommend!

Steven was great!!! Food was lovely too, from starters to dessert.. Highly recommend it and will definitely come back.

We booked dinner for mothers day. When we arrived we were seen to pretty quickly..The service was excellent we were looked after very well and the food was great 10/10!

Had a great time. I enjoyed my pizza and they catered to our large group and were very kind to us. Steve was extremely good.

The general ambience & service was fantastic. Special thanks to Ronaldo, the manager who made my friend and I feel very welcomed. Everything we ordered was explained in great detail & met up to expectations. 10/10 would highly recommend !

Amazing dining experience. Great food and my main man Ronaldo the Manager was very helpful and patient as we decided on what we wanted to drink/ eat. He had great recommendations and was incredibly polite. The pina colada drink was amazing, very smooth and tasty....

I have been coming here for 3 years and everytime it is the most amazing experience. Service is amazing, food is immaculate and the price is great! Peppe is amazing, so funny and attentive every single time. He always makes it a great experience.

Great food, extensive menu and great service. One of the best Italian restaurants I have been to in the area. Recommend to all.

This place was warm and inviting as we came in. The customer service was excellent. Ronaldo and Peppe made our experience enjoyable. Steve went the extra mile with our cocktails. I would definitely come here again. The food was delicious and filling.

Great for a family event. We celebrated a significant 100th birthday. They accommodated us with every request we had. The food was made to order and fresh.

My 2nd time at Ponte Nuovo and once again the service and food did not disappoint! The food was soo tasty! Very authentic Italian food! And I love they had other food options like Lamb Shank which was soo good!!! Also really lovely dessert menu....

Amazing customer service - good brought out with in 15 minutes or prob less - lobster pastor was full of flavours - I will definitely recommend

Booked for a large group, the staff was very accommodating and the food tasty. Great value for good food. We recommend the place.

Excellent service, great food. Ronaldo (the manager, I think) was welcoming. Our waiter, Scot was patient and friendly and amusing!

Best Italian Restaurant in London, I went for dinner on Valentines night and I tried the Pizza Frutti di Mare and as I am Italian I did not expect to find a good pizza in London but I must say that they really exceeded all...

Live locally and my first time at Ponto Nuovo did not dissapoint. Delicious food, amazing desserts and fantastic service. Will definitely come back!

Went with my friends and had a good time, the staff was friendly, the place is lovely and the food really good, specially the cheecake they have for desserts! 😊

Food was amazing and staff were very happy and friendly. Good Italian dishes with lots of choice. Will definitely be back when we visit again.

Attended for mums birthday. Food amazing as always. Peppe was very attentive and accommodating. Will defo be back Asap

Tucked away out of the main thoroughfare, visitors might miss it. Staff very nice and fare was very good.We are visitors and had visited it before,good then too.

On the recommendation of my eldest son, we had lunch at the Ponte Nuovo. I have to say I was not disappointed, on arrival I was surprised by the inside the decor is beautiful and warm. The staff were so attentive, even when I'd arrived...

Absolutely amazing! Not only was the food 10/10, the staff were brilliant! Special shout out to Peppe who couldn't do enough for us! Ronaldo and Steve were also brilliant. Would highly recommend!

i dont normally write reviews because i'm lazy, but i had lunch here and it was incredible!! there is normal food, and then there is Ponte food... service was amazing too! i'll be coming back for sure!!

I have visited Ponte Nuovo many times and every time i visit i receive the same outstanding service and the same amazing food! Every single dish is fresh and tasty no matter what i have ordered. The pastas are an absolute MUST here, i am the biggest fan of the arrabbiata dish that is cooked to perfection, its a winner every time! The staff are always warm and welcoming which besides the amazing food is the reason i will always come back! Would recommend HIGHLY!

nice modern restaurant with good Italian food. Pleasant and helpful staff. Excellent location in Central Croydon with parking facilities nearby. Recommended for lunch or diner if you are in Croydon!

Was very nice and would be likely to return. Food was lovely and There was a great atmosphere . Can’t wait for my next visit!

Ponto Nuovo is one of my favourite restaurants in Croydon. Great customer service. They make you feel special. Great food. Fresh food. Warm stuff. They spoilt me and my sister for our birthday. I come here every year for my birthday lunch.

Het enige modieuze restaurant wat we gezien hebben. De kaart ziet er aantrekkelijk uit. Eenmaal binnen voelden we ons direct welkom. Vriendelijke obers met Italiaanse uitstraling.Gevarieerde bestelling. Pasta, pizza, vlees.Alle gerechten waren heerlijk. Dit geldt ook voor de bestelde nagerechten. Was Italiaans genieten.2 dagen later nogmaals hier gegeten.Andere gerechten besteld. Maar was weer genieten.Aan te bevelen!!!

We booked last minute on Saturday, as it is no.1 on Trip Advisor we didn’t think we’d get a table but were pleasantly surprised. The table was excellent, top corner. All waiters/waitresses were so friendly and helpful. Food was amazing, we ordered a variety from kids meals, pizzas, calzone, pasta and meat dishes. Highly recommend a visit!

Absolutely outstanding food and good service as we were in for an early Xmas team lunch - right before that mad rush of people that followed such a popular venue. We all ordered a variety of dishes that all came out at the same time and not made to wait too long for it to be fresh too. This place is generally a first choice for me but at Xmas they had met all expectations too. Definitely recommend.

Went for dinner new years eve. Great food, really enjoyed. friendly staff. Dessert was beautiful too. Would definitely recommend and go again.

Fantastic food, fantastic service! We had a seafood spaghetti and a rib eye steak, the food was cooked to perfection, the staff were attentive without being intrusive. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! We will be back...

Sometimes in life you need something reassuringly good and familiar. Ponte Nuovo succeeds in delivering reassurance and good quality in equal measure. The authentic touches are all there, along with a stylish flourish. A delight, long may it thrive.

My husband and I came here with family. We had been before and knew the food would be good. We weren't disappointed. The food was nice and served in a timely manner. The waitresses were attentive but not annoying. My cousin had the rabbit and said it was delicious. If you want good food, good service, at a good price, head here!!

We have been visiting this restaurant for years and its excellent. The food and atmosphere is excellent but the truly fantastic element is the staff. True, real and genuine, we love saying hello to the guys there every time and they always remember us. We also had our Christmas dinner there this year with 20 people and it was seamless. Highly recommend.

Returned again this year for our family Christmas Dinner. Last year's was delicious but they managed to top it this year. So tasty, great atmosphere, friendly staff. I love this restaurant, thank you to all the staff. See you again soon.

Went here last night with some friends for an impromptu Xmas eve dinner and had an absolutely fantastic time. The meal was smashing- I had the lasagne (best lasagne in Crystal Palace, hands down), my partner had the veal and my other two friends had veggie dishes. In fact, one of my friends is vegan and we were concerned that they may not be able to accommodate him however they gave him a choice of lots of different options without making him feel like he was a pain for asking. Deffo gonna become a regular here- literally no complaints. Thank you Ponte Nuovo! X

Went in a party of 5 for our Christmas meeting. Lovely food and staff. Good music and atmosphere. Music was so good people were dancing! Would definitely go again 😊

I been at porta nuova for a magical night on Christmas period, the restourant is amazing expecially our waiter Giovanni that help us to decide a wonderful pizza and costata 🥩 One of the best Italian restourant around !!

We booked this restaurant for my grand daughters 2nd birthday. There was around 25 of us with kids included. There was something on the menu for everyone , some in the party said it was the best Italian they had ever tasted in London. Nothing was too much they even gave us candles for the cake as we had forgotten ours. Fantastic restaurant and service.

I had my work Christmas meal here and we went for £25 per head set meal. I got the soup, salmon (delicious) and profiteroles. The staff were brilliant as always! And I liked my meal. However, some of my colleagues did not enjoy their Christmas dinner main stating it was dry. To be frank, why go to an amazing Italian restaurant to order Christmas dinner?!

Polite staff, couldn't do enough for you. Great choice of food. Friendly Atmosphere, had a side room for 6 people (Our Xmas Lunch) we was there about 4 Hours.

Went for my mum's birthday. Was nice - parents had wine, dad had pizza, I had ravioli & mum had a pasta dish.

The food, wine and service was excellent. we managed to confuse the waiting staff by ordering off all menus, but it didnt phase them at all.

We held our Xmas do here. There were 20 plus of us and we were well looked after. We had the 3 course set menu and all starters, mains and puds looked good and clean plates at the end.

It was my first visit to Ponte Nuovo and I was very impressed! Food was excellent even our 9 year old had a clean plate. Service was excellent they were very attentive. It was my birthday and the staff team made a great fuss singing and getting the whole restaurant involved - a very nice touch!

Bel ristorante,accogliente, con personale competente, si mangia davvero bene e fanno dei cocktail saporitissimi. Vi consiglio di andarci!

I decided to celebrate my bday at Ponte nuevo this last WE and it was perfectly perfect.

We didn't book but managed to get a table on a very busy night. The waiter who served us was very nice and the food was even better. I am very impressed from the started all the way to the main and dessert. Highly recommend

What a little gem. Greeted and shown to a table straight away, which you would expect, however my partner is in a wheelchair. Most accomdating to his needs. Very friendly and helpful.

Came here with my other half and oh my the food is to die for! Welcoming and friendly service. Very attentive and the food came out very quickly. Definitely recommend! Amazing evening out.

This is a very welcoming, well run restaurant providing delicious food and attentive service. I have visited on several occasions, with both small and large groups, and the experience has always lived up to my expectations. I’ll be back!

Shared a lovely meal with a group friends we ordered lots of entrees pizzas and pastas to share, all were delicious! Waiters were extremely friendly. Only regret is that we didn’t save room for dessert which also looked amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely loved our dinner here, between 5 of us we shared some pizzas and pastas and they were all delicious! Really nice ambience and extremely friendly waitstaff. Will definitely be returning!

I arranged my Mum’s 70 bday surprise for friends and family in the large private room, since the start Ronaldo was very helpful with all the information and packages. On the day the food was amazing as always! My guest were so impressed with the food and settings that we already planning our next visit during Xmas.

I had some wonderful pappardelle, the ragù was amazing! Dessert very generous and homemade. They are a true italian restaurant, with good service and attention to the client. Absolutely to try!

First time here, we were very happy with the service and food. Good quality food at reasonable prices, king prawn linguine was excellent. The service was excellent always helpful and a free shot after meal. Great place

Had a meal with friends here, and once again faultless, marvellous restaurant simply one the best for food, service and price. Outstanding

This restaurant is beautiful, serves fabulous food, very friendly staff and excellent service. I had a Retirement 'do' there this week in the private room and I couldn't have wanted for more. Would definitely recommend A ++++++++++++

I had a wonderful time last night at my daughter's birthday. Food as excellent and the service was warm and friendly.i loved the enthusiasm shown when singing happy birthday and the staff joined in... you don't get this at other restaurants. Well done your hip..hips hoorays were a lovely and welcoming addition to your food and service thank you

Found this gem on Trip Advisor search. Late evening meal after the theatre. Warm welcome despite the hour. Food was glorious and service was excellent. Wish we lived nearer, I would definitely be a regular diner.

I went to this restaurant on a business trip last week. I was alone but had a very personal service from the staff.

I visited Ponte Nuovo on Saturday night with 2 friends and we had a fantastic time. The food, atmosphere & staff were brilliant. It was my friend’s birthday and they sang Happy Birthday to her with great gusto! Will definitely be returning!

I was there both with friends and also with business as the service and the staff are all good and efficient. The food is also great and a good selection of wines with different price ranges...

What a change to be welcomed at the door by friendly staff and looked after so well. Daniel was friendly and helpful and we enjoyed a lovely meal with a very nice wine. A very relaxing atmosphere despite the fireworks going on outside.

We went for a lovely girly night Birthday meal & enjoyed the privacy of the smaller private room. The waiting staff were very welcoming & joined in some friendly banta with us, which made the experience even more fun. The food was delicious and well presented, we will certainly be back and will recommend to others too.

The staff are so friendly and the food was amazing. We even stayed after dinner and had a couple more cocktails! Definitely be back

I go to Ponte regularly a) because it’s local b) because the food is good c) because the waiters are lovely & d) because the ambience is spot on - a lovely setting for lunch or dinner.

Perfect food Very friendly staff Very warm and friendly atmosphere 10/10 Out of all the Italian restaurants I have been to this is the best.

We have been coming here for years and the food and the customer service experience is great! Very welcoming atmosphere and never fails to deliver. The food is delicious. Lots to choose from.

I had my 40th birthday meal at this lovely restaurant which I have never been to before.

We had a great evening meal of three courses with plenty of wine and coffees. great atmosphere and very friendly attentive staff.

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Definitely give Ponte Nuovo a try. Saluti!

My husband and I have been to Ponte Nuovo numerous times and the food is always excellent. Special mention for awesome service: Ronaldo.

Nice place to eat. Clean, tasty, typically Italian chatty waiters. All good. Got to make up 100 characters...

Another fantastic evening. Friendly & attentive staff in modern elegant surroundings but above all delicious ‘proper ‘ Italian cuisine - not just pizza and pasta ( although there is plenty of choice of those) Wide menu meant that everyone found something to tempt them. A gem of a restaurant.

Lovely meal in one of the private rooms for a friends birthday. Good food and nice ambiance. Thank you!
