Ponti Rossi - Cacio e Pepe // Cheese and Pepper pasta - Italian Near Me

I don't know if this is the same food truck that is making trips around Dumbo, but there was a Ponti Rossi truck in downtown Manhattan that I tried today and boy did that turn out to be a huge mistake. There was no wait so my food came out pretty quickly and the price was reasonable (about $10 for a pasta dish) and the guy behind the counter was nice, but those are the only positives. I ordered the orecchiette with broccoli rabe and sausage, and I can say with absolute certainty that this is the worst plate of Italian food I've ever had. The pasta was completely overcooked and all of the noodles were stuck together, the broccoli rabe was just frozen and reheated, unseasoned broccoli and the sausage resembled a mystery meat that I believe I was once served in school for hot lunch, terrible. As a sauce, there was a combination of oil and some kind of cream/Alfredo sauce that tasted like it came out of a jar. And to boot the food was barley warm by the time I got back to my office (it took a total of 3 minutes for me to get back to my desk). I don't normally rant on yelp like this or go out of my way to slam businesses, but this dish was so awful it felt necessary. I am hoping that maybe it was just this particular dish or that the cook is having an off day because generally the truck seems to get good reviews. Ultimately though this experience has really tainted my experience with this food truck so I won't be returning. read more

So you thought you could never get great Italian food from a truck? Think again. Today I found one full of Italian food and people and got the rigatoni with meatballs. It was made to order, delicious, and satisfying. The menu was diverse and it's a cinch I didn't try everything. All the Italian people I met, including the owner, were super nice. As I sat eating at lunchtime along Water Street, watching the Wall Street drones walk by with little plastic bags of God knows what, I almost wanted to give them a taste. I didn't though. read more

Real nice quality Italian food..their arrabiata and lasagna were awesome. Please visit Weill Cornell 71st street :)

Ponti Rossi is a recent addition to the rotating food trucks in DUMBO. While many of the other trucks are good, Ponti Rossi is excellent. There aren't any quality Italian options in DUMBO be it restaurant or truck, that is until these guys arrived. Here are just a few reasons why this is my go to truck everytime they are in the neighborhood (Fridays): * Fresh, made to order food: This is especially important with pasta. The last thing I want is overcooked, soggy pasta. Al dente all day! * A rotating menu: this means that they are always thinking about what options they could prepare given the ingredients they obtained for the day * Speaking of ingredients: nothing processed. I had the Caprese Salad the other day and the Mozzarella di Bufala was outstanding * This is a picky thing on my part, but it matters to me that the owners are actual Italians who love their food. I can't take a place seriously if they are butchering the pronunciation of their food Like many places that get yelped, there's always a contingency who complain about pricing. So I eat out a lot, I have friends who own Michelin star restaurants, I LOVE food. With regards to pricing, yes, it costs a few dollars more than the other trucks, but they aren't what you would consider "truck food", it's better than any of the sit-down options around (which btw sit downs typically cost more than trucks, yet no one would complain in a sit down if they were charged what PR is charging for their dishes). The food is made to order, it is FRESH. So would I rather get a heavy order made from processed food that is ready in a minute and costs far less or would I rather wait a few minutes, pay a couple of dollars more to have a real meal. Oh one other complaint that I see: "oh they have small portions", I'm sick of reading posts from negative yelpers about portions. Their portions are appropriate and filling. The "small portion" complainers want super-sized 'mericuhn portions, which will get wasted when they don't finish. Mille Grazie! read more

Tried the lasagna as they recommended while at the Royal Palms shuffleboard club. It was amazing. The sausage was just right, not too greasy and the pasta was very delicate to the taste but hardy enough to stand up to the ingredients it had to hold. The people working the truck, especially Jessica, we're friendly, fun and accommodating. I will definitely look for them again and recommend you do too! read more

Ponti Rossi - Italian Near Me

Alessandro the caterer is horrible and come with a set of attitude. We book for all day catering from Breakfast to lunch and tea break, he manage to turn up late, no breakfast, lunch preparation is so slow that non of our clients get lunch on time and they can't even get tea break ready on time. The only thing that is on time is pouring drinks, because it doesn't require cooking. Food is horrible and it is definitely no catering experience. read more

I love this food truck! Amazing Italian food at decent and fair prices. It's difficult to find a good plate of pasta around midtown, not to mention during the lunch hour rush. However, Ponti Rossi's employee's are fast, reliable and not to mention friendly. Will be going back soon once they're on their regular schedule again. :) read more

The food is alright not 12 dollars good. VERY SMALL portions relative to their expensive price! No bread to go with it for $12 dollars is outrageous! Save your money and go to to Chipolte! For a food truck this has to be one of the most expensive trucks out there. Not going there again! read more

At the govball, you guys might have been my fav vendor. The rigatoni and ravioli were perfection. Thanks for that! Hopefully see you guys in city, or see you back there next year read more

Crazy slow. Menu wasn't up. Expired mobile vendor license, broken window. Worst vendor at Gov Ball

Finally a place where I can eat real Italian food. New York is full of Italian restaurants that pretend to know how to cook Italian dishes but they really don't have a clue on how to do it! Finding a food truck that can give me a very good pasta dish is amazing!Nice people, very good quality/price ratio. You need to wait a little bit but everything is fresh so the waiting is worth! read more

Panini was above average but for 12 bucks I am not sure it was worth it. Have had a couple sandwiches here and they can be delicious but never consistent. Service here for the most part is amateur hour. Employees/owners? standing around. The guy making my sandwich with cook prep gloves handling boxes across the service counter and the food? Gross. Sandwich took way too long. Picked this place because didn't have a line, makes sense why.. read more

Ponti Rossi - Italian Pannini - Italian Near Me

Found the truck by chance and was very impressed with the quality of their food. The amatriciana is the best I've had in New York City. If you are lucky enough to spot the truck, definitely give it a try...well worth it. read more

I've been to Ponti Rossi a few dozen times over the past couple years and am continually impressed at the quality Alessandro is able to churn out from such a small space. It's difficult to find good Italian food in DUMBO, particularly that's not too heavy to not sleep at your desk all afternoon. Always happy to see the truck when I walk into the office on days they are there. read more

Later waiting thirty minutes, I ended up with only half my order and a partial refund without an apology. The organization and service is pretty terrible and the 1 pasta we did get was over salted. Maybe it was an off night, but there was no line when I ordered. read more

Amazing service, fast and delicious food! Spoke to the owner, very personable, polite, welcoming. You can smell the fresh food while you wait. Good lunch option and Yelp deal! read more
