    Grilled Octopus Salad
    Camille R.

    Another amazing night at this fabulous restaurant! I make sure to visit a few times when in town! It's a comfortable atmosphere with impeccable service. The food is the main event! Never been disappointed the many years we have dined there. My ultimate favorite is the octopus salad - I could literally have this with soup or salad and call it a day! That is totally impossible to do with the selection of choices they offer..

    Swordfish Sicilian

    Went there last Friday night without any expectations, service was fast, from seating to food ordering, everything quick and organized. Place was packed but ambiance was very welcoming and quiet. Food was good , from Appetizers (Antipasto) to main entrees (the swordfish secilian) was great. Definitely on the pricey side specifically for a BYOB restaurant. Will probably return if in the area. Although was pricey it was a good experience overall

    Chocolate Layer Cake
    Craig I.

    We decided to go appetizers only and had a lovely meal. All four dishes were extremely fresh and Delightfully seasoned. It was just enough food for us and left room for dessert! The chocolate cake was rich and creamy as was the house made cheesecake. Price is quite reasonable. Would definitely return.

    Mashed potatoes with a hint of garlic, simply heavenly.

    With so many delicious places to choose from these days, how do you balance value, authenticity, price, and taste? It's simple! Conveniently located in The Shoppes at Old Bridge is a charming Italian restaurant called "Ponte Vecchio" (Italian for Florence Bridge). Upon entering, you are welcomed by a blend of authentic old-world charm and modern decor. There is plenty of seating available, and the staff is polite and cordial. While it is a restaurant and not a diner, reservations are necessary, which can be made via telephone or online at their website http://restaurantpontevecchio.com/ or through OpenTable.com. Although I haven't had the pleasure of dining in, I have ordered through DoorDash many times. I can assure you that tonight's food was outstanding. We started with hot antipasto for two, followed by main courses that were heavenly: Veal Parm over Cappellini and Broiled Stuffed Shrimp. For dessert, we enjoyed carrot cake and a peanut butter bomb. You might think that dessert would raise your blood sugar, but think again! The chocolate was smooth, decadent, and delicious, with very low sugar content--it seemed homemade. The main courses were cooked to perfection, especially the shrimp, which were tender and not chewy. The garlic mashed potatoes were so delicious that my wife nearly convinced me to go out for seconds. If I were to rate this experience, I would give it an A+++. When it comes down to value, authenticity, and taste, Ponte Vecchio truly has it all. You can find them at 3863 County Rd 516, Old Bridge, NJ, 08857, Phone: 732-607-1650.

    Seafood Capellini
    Tom D.

    When we were back in NJ visiting friends and relatives we had dinner at an old favorite, Ponte Vecchio. Ponte Vecchio serves really good Italian food in a nice atmosphere. Our recent visit was just as good as all our previous visits. Started with an appetizer of Stuffed Mushrooms, Baked with Fresh Lump Crabmeat Imperial. Delicious (unfortunately no photo). Our entrees continued the high quality. I had the Berkshire Double Cut Pork Chop, Rib Pork Chop Grilled with Sweet Vinegar Peppers, Onions, Crispy Potatoes and Broccoli Rabe. Huge chop, awesome flavors. DW had the Seafood Capellini, Shrimp and Lobster Sautéed in Olive Oil, Garlic and White Wine, Garnished with Baby Clams and Mussels over Thin Pasta. Another great entree. Way too full for dessert, actually we had leftovers for lunch the next day. Service at Ponte Vecchio is always friendly, informative and as the portions are ample you are never rushed which is a real plus. Like many restaurants in NJ, Ponte Vecchio is BYO and we picked up a bottle to have at dinner. Ponte Vecchio is everything you want in an Italian Restaurant. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

    Chicken franchise
    Deborah W.

    Went to Ponte Vecchio tonight to celebrate our friend's special birthday. She had a private room for her guests . Our food started out with appetizers: fried calamari, very tasty and done just right, stuffed mushrooms that were tender and tasty, shrimp in a red sauce with a little kick and eggplant. Our salad was a choice of Caesar or tossed mesculine. The salad was overdone with cheese and brown and wilted. Disappointed to say the least. The choice of main dishes were salmon topped with a chopped tomato salsa, julienne vegetables on the hard side and baby roasted potatoes; chicken franchise that had too much lemon and a pasta dish. Food was fair. Service was very good and professional.

We called around 8:40 PM, and they told us the kitchen would take its last order at 9 PM. Luckily, we made it just in time (around 9:02 PM), and they were kind enough to accommodate us. The ambiance was beautiful, with elegant golden décor hanging from the ceiling that gave the place a warm and inviting feel. We quickly ordered the Drunken Noodles and Basil Fried Rice, and to our surprise, the food arrived in just five minutes! The Drunken Noodles were easily the highlight of the meal, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The Basil Fried Rice, however, was a bit disappointing as the rice was hard and chewy. Since it was closing time and we were starving, I didn't feel like complaining. Overall, I'd still say it's a solid choice for Thai food lovers in Central Jersey. The menu offers plenty of authentic Thai favorites, and based on our experience, I'd definitely come back to try more dishes.

Appetizers to die for - fried calamari, clams oregano, everything is amazing. Pasta dishes that make you cry they are so delicious. Now let's talk about the pizza. True Neapolitan pizza. The crust is light and crispy and so special. The margarita pie is killer, the Emiliano - with prosciutto, Arugola, truffle oil and Parmigiano Reggiano is the best pizza in Old Bridge. It is not even close. Via Sposito is a hidden gem and among the best restaurants in NJ. Get there as soon as possible. You will be blown away.

They're an Italian restaurant with a good selection of dishes to meat various diets: salads, pastas, meat dishes, etc. The food was also pretty good, and service was fine. Better Italian food can be found in NJ, not too far away, but the location, quality and price point served our purposes. The servings are generous. I had the "Sunday Supper" (pasta served with red sauce, braciole, sausages, meatballs, and ribs), which I shared with my husband, and even so we had plenty to take home for another meal! I found the decor unusual in that there was a noticeable religious motif. In fact, a life size statue of the a Virgin Mary stood in the corner behind our table observing our little reunion. Odd for a restaurant, but it made for some fun comparing of notes afterwards.

Authentic food, FRESH FRESH INGREDIENTS and overall delicious. I went for a date night and we cannot wait to go back. The staff was so friendly and polite. She took her time answering our questions and making suggestions, which we appreciated. We kept it simple chicken and steak tacos and chicken and steak tostadas. The chicken and steak was obviously marinated, and very well. Cooked to perfection. The classic onions and cilantro tasted like it was just harvested. It's very difficult to find an authentic Mexican restaurant with such fresh ingredients, I have to say it's disappointing to think this place isn't busy 24/7. Please go try it for yourself and help this business thrive as it should be!! The tostadas were perfectly crispy, topped with avocado, Oaxaca cheese and was simply outrageous. The guacamole was a good size order for the two of us, and you guessed it fresh and made to perfection. It was simply immaculate. The chips were fresh made and kept on coming! They also served us chips and salsa as we sat down, which was a nice surprise for us. The establishment is clean, decorated nicely and I am counting the days until I return. RUN, DON'T WALK!! P.S. sad I don't have a picture of the tacos or tostadas to share, but trust me: Order it!!
