Our Sheffield restaurant is in prime position at the beautifully designed and award-winning Fox Valley. We were proud to be part of the original line up when the centre opened in 2016 and we've been bringing our unique take on family friendly Italian dining to our fabulous Yorkshire foodies ever since. Our warm and welcoming restaurant with a stunning private dining room has built up a great reputation and we’re proud to be part of this beautiful part of Yorkshire.

Inspired by the Emilia-Romagna region, our seasonal menus are made with beautiful ingredients from suppliers we know, creating classic Italian dishes presented simply and elegantly and always with the special Ponti's touch.

The private dining room can remain closed from the main bar area – or opened up to be part of the space. This stunning and stylish flexible area is ideal for parties, weddings and meetings – the perfect backdrop for you to make memories.
