Ponte Nuovo - (Near Croydon, South East)

5 /5 Mike Bird: Ponte Nuovo has got to be the best Italian in Croydon. A great selection of starters, the bread and oil is so simple yet incredibly moreish, and the main courses are full of flavour and depth. Big big portions. Save space for the deserts, the gigantic profiteroles in a sea of chocolate sauce, the insanely rich tiramisu. Staff are very friendly and speak highly of the italian chef and kitchen staff; a sure sign of a good front of house/back of house team relationship. Service was perfect, meals bought out together and well presented. This is somewhere you bring family for a great dinner. At this time of year it had a good but not overpowering christmas decorative theme. Were going back soon.

5 /5 Elson Ong: I recently dined at Ponte Nuovo and went in with high expectations, given its reputation as the best Italian restaurant in Croydon. I ordered the Seafood Marinara, which was savoury, indulgent, and satisfying. For drink, the service staff, Peter, recommended me their Strawberry Caipiroska, a fruity, vibrant, and refreshing cocktail that complemented the juicy tomato flavours of the Seafood Marinara. For my second drink, I tried the Al Ponte, mainly to compare it with the Strawberry Caipiroska. It was sweet and aromatic with a hint of cream. It turned out to be a lovely dessert cocktail and a pleasant way to round off the meal. Overall, I had a delightful experience at Ponte Nuovo and would happily return.

5 /5 Dipti Barot: Had our office Christmas dinner at Ponte Nuovo and it was a fantastic experience. The ambiance was great, the food was exquisite, and everything tasted freshly prepared and delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the management were excellent, especially in accommodating guests with special dietary requirements. We hired the private room, which was beautifully set up and prepared. Highly recommended
