Ponte Vecchio in Bath and North East Somerset

Stunning food and excellent service! Couldnt recommend enough

Lovely food, welcoming staff, set next to the river.

Nice location overlooking the Poultney Bridge - good selection of dishes on the menu, food was good and well presented and the service was prompt. Tess our server was pleasant, courteous and helpful. The front of house manager was a bit brusque and had a strange manner. It appeared he had staffing issues as he was overheard to say "This is the hardest week of my life" - he could have been more pleasant. I appreciate the establishment was busy with other guests as I suspect it always is. I had also made reference to my wife's booking on the reservation however no mention of it was made during our visit.

Fabulous food and a great location. The atmosphere was lovely and made for an enjoyable evening. We were a bit confused upon arrival, as we were initially told the restaurant was fully booked. When we asked about the next available table, we were suddenly offered one right away. Throughout our meal, we noticed several empty tables, which made the initial response a bit puzzling. That said, we had a wonderful dinner with friends and really enjoyed the overall experience.

Spent a wonderful evening here, staff were attentive and friendly, food was delicious and venue had wonderful views. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and will dine here next time I visit Bath.

Fab evening, great food , exceptional service, super friendly . Always come here when in Bath

Amazing food, great service from Fabio!

Fabio made a fabulous night for us - he gave us expert advice, and the food was amazing!

Great food! Good wine. Fabio was amazing.

Great service from Fabio, thank you

We had a lovely evening at this charming Italian restaurant overlooking the river. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm cheery welcome by all our hosts. The place was lively, filled with a pleasant mix of couples enjoying date night and families gathering for dinner. Service was impressively efficient and friendly, with staff who clearly know the menu well. Speaking of the menu—what a treat! The specials board featured a variety of freshly caught seafood. Their pasta dishes were equally divine, perfectly cooked and paired with rich, flavourful sauces. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for quality Italian cuisine with a view that’s just as impressive as the food.

Superb! The food was stunning - starter and main. The service was wonderful. Fabio was kind and attentive. Would highly recommend.

I dined here with my girlfriend, celebrating her birthday and the experience did not disappoint. From the minute we arrived, we were treated like family. The cocktails could not be faulted, nor the attentiveness from each member of staff. Checking in, explaining how our food was being prepared, even the intricacies of each cocktail. We were even treated to two complimentary measures of Limoncello to finish our experience. We will most certainly be back, thank you for such a special evening.

Authentic food, Italian staff, great atmosphere. Wonderful meal for our wedding anniversary.

One of the LOVELIEST, warming and attentive restaurants I’ve been to!

Dinner was great and we had the best salads since being in the UK.

Amazing dinner and great service from Fabio. Will definitely be back!

Tess was our server and really friendly, attentive and fast service. Food was amazing!!

Just perfect the Calamonki is a great combination

Great italian spot by the river with quality food and drinks, super friendly too!

Really enjoyed the experience. All staff were lovely and the food was great. I will be recommending it to friends and hope to return soon

My most favourite Italian ever! The atmosphere is just fantastic and all the staff are so welcoming! Nothing is ever too much, you are treated like royalty! The best ever!

Really friendly and generous service, and lovely food.

The place was perfect, great food and friendly people, Fabio served us on that night, it was an amazing experience.

Great place. We had such a lovely fun evening! Food was great, nice chit chat with the staff and overall good atmosphere. Would definitely come again!

Such good food, ambience and energy. I highly recommended for good traditional Italian food, and service that makes you feel part of the ponte vecchio family

Great food and service by Fadio.

Lovely food and great service especially from Fabio who was fantastic with recommending gluten free options

All round amazing! From the ambience, to the exquisite food, to the genuine, warm, and friendly service... can't recommend it high enough! Btw the Tortelli di Manzo was to die for!

Very nice experience. The service was really great.

Great atmosphere and view. Pasta, chicken, and pistachio mousse were perfect & delicious!! Waiters are so polite - especially Daniela.

Thank you for great service. You have perfect team and kitchen

Delicious food and great atmosphere!

Had a wonderful meal to celebrate our Silver Wedding anniversary. I asked for a window seat which was lovely and we had great service from Wiki. Lovely food, overall a really nice experience.

The whole experience from the welcome to the goodbye was phenomenal. We had starters, mains and desserts and each one was unbelievable. We was served by Fabio who is amazing, so welcoming, full of life and made our whole experience memorable. Will definitely be visiting again when we are back in the area!

Great service and the food is amazing

Brilliant!!!! The Staff were so friendly and service excellent.... & the food was first class

Excellent for quick coffee, and olives or drink not just meals. Friendly staff who are all from Italy ...🇮🇹😉

Very good dinner. Fabio provided excellent service. Drinks were exceptional. Nice atmosphere.

What a superb place! Fabio was wonderful. Attentive, knowledgeable and a delight. He was exactly the perfect mix of available yet discreet. The food was delicious; the atmosphere perfect. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Delicious, authentic Italian food, fresh pasta Arrabbiata was superb. A few vegan options available which was appreciated. Charming service, especially from our server Fabio, and a lively atmosphere. Thank you for making our friends' reunion dinner so enjoyable! .

We loved our meal at Ponte Vecchio! The most wonderful service from our waitress Tess, and we also met the owner who was lovely. I had the seafood risotto and it was 10/10! Please check out this restaurant if you’re visiting Bath, you won’t regret it!😊

Authentic Italian with an amazing setting looking onto the river. exceptionally high-quality food with superb service. Fabio our waiter was incredibly helpful explaining the dishes with a friendly and professional service would highly recommend this authentic Italian restaurant.

I booked the restaurant for my partners birthday lunch. It has a lovely view of Pulteney bridge, and the weir. My partner is a coeliac so the there are very specific needs which they supported perfectly with a range of options. The food was lovely, and service spot on. I would thuroughly recommend going here. As it was her birthday they even brought out a special pudding, which was a lovely touch! Its amazing how that little extra touch goes a long way to making the experience special.

We were in Bath a couple of weeks ago, came across this place and they kindly squeezed us in, lovely atmosphere and WARM inside!!! Was bliss. The host was so welcoming and that Italian friendliness that makes you feel like part of the family - I'm sure it would be a regular haunt if we were local. As well as all this, most importantly the food was delicious, really really lovely. I would say as somebody that loves my food and as a veggie, my beetroot pasta could have been a little bigger portion wise, but otherwise we were a very happy family and that's including 2 very fussy eating kids! Thank you :)

A short trip to bath with the kids and I’m so glad we chose to eat here after having had a few recommendations. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Certainly the best Italian food I have eaten in the UK with great service and ambience also. I now need an excuse to go back to Bath so I can eat here again!

One of the best restaurants where I ate. I want to thank Fabio for recommending me a very good menu and I want to congratulate him for his charisma, goodwill and professionalism. Definitely I will come back👏🏼🥰

This was excellent. I’m highly critical of restaurant food and service and this exceeded my expectations. Would definitely recommend.

Overwhelming experience! All the staff were extremely friendly and communicative - certainly enjoyed the conversations and how open they were. Food was marvellous, literally spot on. If you’re looking for an authentic italian restaurant, with a proper italian feeling, this place will definitely fulfil your needs.

We went away for a couple of days but hadn't made a reservation, so we had to sit downstairs. Nonetheless, the food, service and atmosphere were second to none, and we just can't wait until the day when we can return again.

We went for Saturday night dinner. The food was absolutely incredible as well as staff & ambience being excellent! The menu was great - super condensed in comparison to various other Italian places. It was super digest-able / not overwhelming to get through. Would revisit.

Definitely recommend this restaurant. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. In a beautiful spot too, by the river. But make sure you book as it’s very popular.

Lovely service from start to finish Nice and cosy restaurant Food exceptional, all 3 of us thoroughly enjoyed our food. Be great to visit in summer to sit outside Service charge added to bill Only gripe different waiters coming over to ask if everything was OK, surely they could see we already been asked, was a bit annoying Definitely recommend

A simply superb meal, out first but not last visit. Exceptional service and food. Despite the fact that the place was full, was not noisy but a great atmosphere.

My husband and I were in Bath for a day trip for our anniversary. We had done our research on local restaurants with gluten free options and were excited to try Ponte Vecchio. We were definitely not disappointed! We started with the king prawn appetizer and foccacia (hubs said it was delicious)! The prawns were seasoned and grilled to perfection and served with a lime mayonnaise. For mains, we had the Risotto Zucca & Salsiccia and Ragu D'Agnello with GF pasta. Both were perfectly prepared and exceeded our expectations. The Risotto was creamy, silky, and flavorful. The lamb in the ragu was melt in your mouth tender. Highly recommend and hope to visit again sometime in the future when we can sot outside and enjoy the view while listening to the water of River Avon flowing under Pulteney Bridge.

Lovely warm welcome on a cold night, staff helpful and friendly with children. Great food, we all enjoyed even my hard-to-please 9 year old grandson. Next time we're in Bath for a weekend we'll definitely be coming back here!

Amazing food with a fantastic, Friendly service. The staff are chatty, knowledgeable and welcoming. Our waiter, Fabio, gave some great recommendations and was very friendly. Thank you!

We try to dine at Ponte Vecchio every time we are in Bath. With no exception, we had lunch here before we left Bath. Everything was excellent except for the special - the squid ink risotto with lobster. The risotto was not as flavourful as I had expected. It was a little bland. Thanks for Fabio (or Fazio?) for his excellent service.

During our recent visit to Ponte Vecchio, we were thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service and delectable cuisine. The staff welcomed us warmly and remained attentive throughout our meal, ensuring a delightful dining experience. Thank you Fabio!

A little Italian gem in the heart of Bath. Delicious food and warm staff. Highly recommended!

Very authentic Italian restaurant with good food and amazing service. Would definitely recommend.

One of the best Italian restaurants I have been in England. The food was delicious and fresh. It reminded me of my home country, the food you'd have when you go out with family and friends. The service was wonderful, like the atmosphere. Fabio was friendly and very helpful. I will definitely go back next time in Bath.

10/10 experience. Delicious food and drink, very accommodating, and the service was fantastic. Food quality shows exceptional value for money. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful venue, brilliant, friendly, helpful staff and delicious food. Highly recommended.

We will definitely be back. Many thanks to Fabio for serving us, very friendly, making it a very happy place to be and very professional. Thank you to you all!!

Excellent meal, excellent service. very friendly. Food arrived quickly and was delicious. The team were all very attentive, professional and genuine. Real, welcoming hospitality. Thank you so much Flavio, Antonio, Tess, the rest of the front of house team. And especially, thank you to Tess for looking after us so well. Thanks to head chef Valero and the chef team for the delicious cooking. You are all a credit to the restaurant and to Bath. We had Calamonky, followed by Cinghale and Arrabiata pastas. Great cocktails, wine and beers. Lovely building, clean, stylish and well designed. Great location and we would love to visit again soon. Thank you all so much.

Guys... What can I say... You are fantastic. Really, REALLY, Italian food. Never eaten like this. Congratulations... A great job, the cuisine deserves a 10+ and the guys in the dining room are all Italian and very kind. I have nothing else to tell you. A very deserved applause. Keep up the good name of Italian cuisine abroad. A hug to everyone

This is such an amazing restaurant, the food È eccezionale, the staff are so friendly, and the atmosphere was lovely. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting 🥂✨️😊

Portion sizes need to be bigger. But the food was really good.

What an absolutely fantastic restaurant. The staff and the food are 2nd too none, cannot recommend it enough, fantastic.

Delicious food, and very friendly and attentive staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Ponte Vecchio, and would go again

Fabulous Fabio, outstanding, food, drinks, atmosphere, the best restaurant for miles, we have have had an unforgettable evening, very special thank you

Great service..Fabio especially took really good care of us...he was warm welcoming and made us feel comfortable.

We had lunch at the Ponte Vecchio on a weekend in Bath. Lovely restaurant, helpful, efficient and friendly staff (Fabio). I had the special, porcini filled Tortellini in a Parmesan fondue and white Bolognese. My wife had the seafood tagliatelle and we shared a stunning homemade tiramisu. Great value for money, lovely setting, wonderful food.

Review for [Waitress’s Name]: I recently had the pleasure of being served by Fabian and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we were seated, he was attentive, friendly, and professional. He greeted us with a warm smile, made thoughtful menu recommendations, and ensured our drinks and food arrived promptly. What stood out most was his attention to detail he remembered our specific requests and checked in just the right amount without being intrusive. Even when the restaurant got busy, he handled everything with calm efficiency and made us feel like a priority. Our dining experience with her exceptional service and positive attitude. We’ll definitely be returning, and we’ll be asking for his by name!

Fantastic food, amazing service Fabio and Bruno were very attentive #alwayabonus

The most incredible food and atmosphere, a great night with great staff, could not recommend more, Fabio was personal, knowledgeable and courteous!

Excellent food, exceptional service (shout out to Bruno) Thank you so much for making our night special! Will definitely be returned.

Lovely birthday meal. We had the special which was spectacular and was served by Fabio who was super knowledgeable and friendly. Service here is above and beyond. Thank you all for such a lovely evening

Not often would any establishment get 5 stars, but this place is a must for anyone visiting Bath. Dani and Fabio attended to us like old friends and the food, from starters to mains were fantastic. The views are also terrific from the restaurant. This was like stepping into Italy, with Italian hospitality and genuine great tasting dishes.

Loved our meal, it was delicious, Bruno and all the team were excellent. We were very happy we went there! Highly recommend:)

I think that the food was really well done and we even had a birthday cake for my friend! Really nice service!

We had a wonderful celebratory meal here for my graduation and my uncle's birthday. The staff were amazingly friendly, welcoming and warm. Fabbi paid special attention to ensuring my aunty's dry martini was perfectly to her taste and Tess offered us all free shots of limoncello as it was a celebration. They even had the whole restaurant singing happy birthday which made it feel extra special. The food was wonderful too. Thank you to everyone for such authentically warm Italian hospitality!

Absolutely amazing food, waiters, nice quiet atmosphere. Excellent excellent excellent.

First time here and received a lovely welcoming, great food and good staff service specially Bruno! Thank you for taking care of us!

Walked in and they squeezed us in. The service was incredible, the host was very friendly and came over many times to check on us and had some great stories. The food was sublime aswell! Will definitely be visiting again!

Beautiful location, friendly service, decent menu & pricing.

Amazing setting, food, wine list and service

Went to Ponte Vecchio a few weeks ago, it certainly didn't disappoint. I took my girlfriend to have dinner here and would highly recommend as the food is delicious. My girlfriend and I shared Focaccia and gamberoni as starters followed by lasagna and porchetta for main courses. To finish it off, we both ordered Tiramisu. Service was excellent from India and Beau.

Excellent dinner for two. Service was great. Lovely table by window. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Will definitely return next time we're staying in Bath.

Superb meal Our waiter Fabio was excellent Highly recommended

We had an excellent meal at Ponte Vecchio. Dani made us feel incredibly welcome and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend the black pasta and the cheesecake in particular. Thanks for a lovely experience guys.

Beautiful food, the staff go above and beyond to make diners feel welcome and relaxed. Tessa looked after us very well indeed. First class all round.

Friendly and gracious host and staff. Excellent food and scenic view from many tables.

Italian food by the river. Very attentive staff!
