    I was so pleasantly surprised how great this place is! Outstanding! The Manhattan and old fashion were on point! I highly recommend the pull apart bread. Don't just use the amazing flavored butter! Be sure to use the olive oil & balsamic vinegar. So delish! The Caesar salad was so fresh and all the flavors were perfect! Our dinners were above and beyond delish! I highly recommend the lamb, risotto, and the gnocchi! For dessert the 3 sampler! The have a great round table. The staff was friendly, helpful and efficient. I know, no water view but it's definitely worth a visit! Oh! They have you this most delish piece of chocolate at the end! Just go! .

    Calamari

    We were trying to decide on dinner and decided this was worth a try. It's inside the Casino so parking is through their garage but we walked over. At about 6:30, we were offered an 8:30 slot so make a reservation if you want a definite time and day. The back room is definitely quieter than the front room which gets noise from the Casino. We were quite happy to be seated in the back. The table seats are quite comfortable. Service was wonderful. Attentive but not intrusive. A full meal for two; including apps and drinks is pricey. Plan on spending around $100 Canadian per person. But it was definitely worth it. I will say the Veal Parmesan is big enough to share. Or you'll have enough left for lunch the following day. The calamari was crispy and light. We had no room for dessert!

    Spaghetti Bolognese with Kobe Beef
    HelloMonke E.

    Don't have RSVP's for 9:15PM if the Kitchen Closes at 10PM. Been to PonteVecchio 5 times before. Given the 'Bums Rush' by Server 'Irene' the moment we were seated. Water? Not what kind. Drinks? Barely finished my sentence and she was off like a shot. We had to ask her if there were Specials She said Yes there was and named 2 but without Prices We had a very starchy appetizer, so of course we wanted a nice pause between our next course which was Pasta. But she already put the order in because the "Kitchen closes at 10PM." She asked "is that okay?" Well of course it's not okay. She 'Table Checked' before we had even tried our food and with 1 Diner not present at the table. 3 forkfuls into our Entree she asked if we're going to have dessert. Why not ask us how long we're going to stay. It was an unpleasant experience for a Foodie who tried to communicate that we've been there before. Who else knows that was an Amarena Cherry in my Cocktail. Don't treat us like Tourists. But to no avail. You wait ages for Covid19 to wane and this is your experience. Not again. Bye bye PonteVecchio...

    Vitello (veal) Parmesan
    Skip V.

    We visited Ponte Vecchio in the recommendation of someone "in the know". They did warn that it was pricey, but amongst the best restaurants in the area. The sommelier was amazing, turning us on to an excellent and perfectly-paired bottle of local Merlot. Our Old Fashioneds were a little sweeter than we like, but contained a nice pour of bourbon. Our server was fun and knowledgeable, and kept service moving at just the right pace. For appetizers, I had the polpo (octopus) which was presented beautifully with heirloom potatoes and a mustard vinaigrette. It was quite good, but I've had better octopus - granted it was in Cancún and at Aureole in LV. Yes, if octopus is on the menu, I'm ordering it! My wife's arancini was delightfully prepared in the traditional manner. Our shared Caesar salad was superb and was served with a lemon wedge, as should always be the case. For entrees, my wife ordered the Agnello (lamb chops), served with an herb polenta, fresh peas and a rich demi which was cooked perfectly to a rare-medium rare and was a plentiful portion. I had already decided on the "star" dish of Vitello (veal) Parmesan, which was a gigantic veal chop, pounded flat, panko-crusted, and served beneath tomato basil sauce and melted buffalo mozzarella with a healthy side portion of spaghetti with the same tomato basil sauce. It was phenomenal, and easy to see why it was the star of the show! For dessert, we shared a lovely tiramisu, presented uniquely in a cylindrical fashion with macerated berries and what I believed to be a strawberry coulis. While we weren't disappointed in the experience, per se, we did feel that the food was a just slight notch below the five-star level one would expect for the price (our tab was nearly $475 Canadian for two with gratuity, a round of cocktails, two appetizers, a shared salad, two entrees, shared dessert and a moderately-priced bottle of wine. Still, it's not to be missed with the understanding that Canada can be expensive.

    Absolutely loved the seating, service, and menu at this restaurant. It has lots of nice options for appetizers, pasta, seafood and meat. Seating in the back room along the wall was perfect on this busy night as there were curtains separating the tables. This is definitely Italian "kicked up a notch" in terms of ambiance, service and selection. On this night the Osso Bucco was served with a brown sauce over risotto. The menu indicated that when the Osso Bucco is available it is served Milanese which in my experience is a red sauce. Perhaps I should have listened better when our server went over the specials. Either way, I was satisfied with my choice. My wife ordered the Gnocchi Con Tartuffo (porcini ricotta gnocchi, mushrooms, arugula, truffle oil and shaved truffles). It was earthy, tasty, and she was very happy with her choice. The serving size was more than she could handle, but she ate past the point of being full, so that's a ringing endorsement. We drank Rye Manhattans and a 9 oz serving of the house Valpolicella as we did our best to finish off the Fifth Town Cheese Plate. The cheese plate was excellent and we would definitely order it again. It was a very nice evening which we ended with a Grand Marnier creme brûlée and we're glad we chose to eat here. You'll definitely find us back at Ponte Vecchio in the future.

    Had dinner here with a group of friends. We arrived around 9:30pm and the restaurant was decently busy. I ordered the Frito Misto appetizer and Sphagetti with meatballs for my main. The appetizer was tasty and had a mix of deep fried calamari, shrimp, and artichoke. However, the pasta tasted average. It tasted like any other sphagetti and meatball dish. I would recommend trying the other dishes. The atmosphere was very classy and the service is great. I would recommend this restaurant if you're willing to treat yourself to a high-end meal.

    Ordered a bunch of antipasto and mains to try in a group of 6. The pastas are on the al dente side so if you need them softer, let the server know. Great service, got extra chocolates in the end. Favourite part of the experience was the pistachio creme brulee, it's a must order.

    I really enjoyed the ambiance here. For starters I had the caprese salad which was delicious. We were with a group and a set menu. Pursuant to the starters I enjoyed a stunning risotto dish with peas, gran padano, butter, pea shoots and a slice of truffle. The main was a panko covered chicken parmigiano with buffalo mozzarella and a nice bed of spaghetti in a tomatoe sauce. It was decent. The service was great and helped make this a happy experience.

    We were looking for a nice Italian restaurant. The food was so good we even took pictures! The chicken Parmesan was huge. There was an excellent gluten free menu including dinner rolls. The server was so attentive and brought us chocolate afterwards.

    Competing with the best here, so I was critical. This place definitely deserves respect for it's location. You can have a fun, comprehensive, night out without ever going outside. Hotel + Casino + Dinner = winning. Food was great. Good wine list. Bonus points if you know what the name translates it!

    This is one of the fancier restaurants in the Fallsview Casino complex, but it wasn't spectacular, at least for the price. We did come here compliments of my mom's Player's Advantage card, cashback and VIP credits, but I would never want to come here on my own dime. The atmosphere is romantic and dark, with big tables and booths. After ordering, we got a big loaf of garlic bread (or at least it should have been). The insides were not buttered, but I half wished they could have been. We ordered two glasses of wine $8.50 each. My pasta Garganelli (entree size $28) was extremely salty. I get that some of the ingredients call for this (sausage), but I wonder if the chef tastes their food. My mom's Veal Saltimbocca, was also very salty ($42) For dessert, we got the Tiramisu. I DO very much recommend coming in here for a Tiramisu dessert with your date. Fresh cream and lots of berries, it was quite yummy. Over 19+ only to come here, I know cuz they checked my ID before coming out. .

    5/5 For first-class service from Chris! He was polite, very professional, & friendly - giving us tips about validated parking. Best server that I've had in my recent dining experiences. Interior was classy and quiet, lovely for an intimate dinner with conversation. Chairs were padded and very comfortable. Prices were on the slightly higher-end. Pasta dishes have 2 different sizes/prices. The appetizer size was more than sufficient and ~$20, whereas they would be maybe ~$14-15 somewhere downtown. Entrée sized pastas were ~$38. I really enjoyed my Spaghetti with a meatball, pasta was perfectly al dente. Portion was enough to give others a taste OR even split the dish if someone wanted to. I had a taste of the Risotto and it was a bit too white wine-y for my liking. Fritti Misto was done well and they seemed to use "clean oil" as fried pieces were a beautiful golden yellow colour. Expect to pay at least $20pp, pre-tax/tip, without any wine or dessert. Must be 19+ to enter. Only open for dinner service.

    When I was in Niagara falls a year ago, I went to dinner at this restaurant and it was absolutely…read moreone of the most classy and amazing meals I've had. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and everything was really good. Located right on the corner going down Lundy's Lane, the place looks very simple from the outside, but once you walk through the doors you realize you are in for an elegant dining experience. Started out with a orange Pellegrino which was wonderful, they brought out some bread and this amazing honey and ricotta cheese spread. Absolutely to die for but be careful. It would be easy to fill up on that and miss out on the wonders of the meal that's coming. I started the meal off with their Caesar salad which was absolutely perfect. The right amount of dressing lettuce was second to none and it was one of the most delicious Caesars I've had. I opted for the gnocchi oso buco ragu, which was absolute perfection. Be careful though, these gnocchi are no joke. The taste will keep you eating all of them and you will absolutely be ready to take a nap afterwards. Bottom line? If you are looking for fine dining in the Niagara falls area, you would be doing yourself a disservice not going to this restaurant. It's absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend it!

    We had dinner here last night - a Friday - this was our 2nd visit to this restaurant. We did have a…read morereservation which I would recommend, they are pretty busy. Beautiful, beautiful restaurant with great atmosphere, soft music, amazing service by Juan our waiter. We started with Caesar salad and the bruschetta appetizers - Boyfriend's salad was very good. I liked the capers and strong hint of anchovies in the dressing (which he always has on the side). Bruschetta was not what I expected - I felt it was missing something, not much flavor - although the bread was super fresh and tomatoes perfectly ripe. As mains he had the Americana pizza (pepperoni) and I had the lamb, served with a citrusy risotto and rapini. I loved the lamb! Highly recommend. It was literally so tender that I didn't need the knife to cut it! We asked Juan how the cook made it that way - he wouldn't tell and said it was the kitchen's secret! It was delicious. Risotto was perfect too. I'm not a fan of rapini but it was well cooked and seasoned. Boyfriend regretted his choice a little, although he says his pizza was good - but after tasting my lamb, he was sorry he didn't choose a meat dish. I had a shot of Amaretto on ice and the cannolis for dessert. Delicious and obviously homemade. I was a bit put off that a bus boy pulled out our appetizer plates while we were still actively eating. Hint, if our forks are in our hand and we're bringing them to our mouth with food on it, we're not done yet :/ Not the first place this happens and a pet peeve of mine... but whatever. Also, the couple with 5 kids... 5 kids omg... maybe this wasn't the best restaurant choice for you if you are going to let the two small ones run wild around the dining room and almost hit a waiter with a tray of drinks... but this isn't the restaurant's fault. We will return! Worth it just for the amazing lamb, and a short 5 minute walk from the Doubletree hotel, if you are staying there!
