    Excellent service.. 3 of us dined for lunch. The burrata app, lobster ravioli (x2) & grouper special was great. Desserts were okay.. key lime mouse tasted a bit fake & mostly like buttercream. Good cappuccino. It's one of our go-to places.. we'll be back!

    Food was great! We had Fried Calamari and Flounder with risotto and Shrimp Francese. Nice size restaurant and good ambiance. Would go back again. It would be nice in the summer to sit outside to have dinner.

    We chose a Tuesday evening to visit Ponte Vecchio because we wanted to take advantage of their Tues—Thurs prix fixe, and we like a quieter dining experience than you get on the weekends. In the end I chose the prix fixe but my husband did not because he wanted the veal Milanese, which was not part of that. He started with the Caesar salad, and his only complaint was, he prefers his with shaved Parmesan and this had grated parm. He said the veal was tender and cooked just right but he wasn’t a fan of the excessive vinaigrette, which made the veal soggy. I had the lentil soup, and really enjoyed it; it included mushrooms, potatoes and sausage. My entree was the short rib pappardelle which had a very generous block of tender short rib that shredded easily with a fork. The flavors were delicious and I happily took the leftovers home. Dessert was a slice of dark chocolate layer cake- super rich, and we shared that at home. The service was great and the fact that it is a BYOB is a big plus.
