A hidden gem in Central Croydon, great service and good food. Their Christmas menu options was extensive. 😋 yummy desserts and lovely coffee. Their private dining room was a beautiful setting for our family Christmas celebratory dinner. Some of our party found their steak 🥩 not to their liking. But on the positive an alternative was offered and then the cost was deducted from our bill. Great customer service, will be back again especially now I know they have a smaller private room.
Wonderful staff who can't do enough for you, never had an empty glass all evening, even peeled my Mum's prawn for her...that's what I call service!! �...beautifully prepared food (I recommend the duck) in simple but elegant surroundings..... and very impressed with the prices.... 5* all round.... thank you for a lovely evening����
fantastic food and ambiance,service was quick,waiters were very helpful,i would not hesitate to recommend anyone to visit here
Really great staff, great food. Brief chat with the chef on duty, greeted by the owner, what more could one ask for. We are regulars and I am quite particular about how I like my food. Never been disappointed.
Loved this place, staff were very welcoming and so friendly. Food was amazing and presented beautifully. Attentive staff checking glasses were kept topped up, definitely a five out of five
We hadn't been there for years as we moved away. So glad we went. Food was amazing and despite being full and having some large parties in, the service was faultless and so friendly. Could not recommend it enough.
Quality service, friendly staff, great & plentiful food at a reasonable price. Totally good value. My team have been there many times and never disappointed. Thanks as always, you are doing a great job. See you soon
It was a pleasure to visit this place. Food was so good and a staff very friendly 👌🏻⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Food was fantastic. Did not have long to wait despite the huge crowd. Staff were efficient. Will definitely go back again.
Great food and atmosphere! Great place for a romantic dinner.
Best Italian pizza in Croydon! Great service, friendly staff - nice vibe!
Wonderful service and wonderful food..
I came here for a friend's birthday meal and we had such a great time. The restaurant is a lovely setting for an evening meal with its elegant decor and comfortable seating. The food also has an authentic italian feel. The waiters were really friendly and patient at handling the group but the food took ages to arrive! The food is slightly pricey compared to a few other places on the street but a nice treat for an occasion.
My dearest university professor came to London to visit my family. I knew Croydon had a famous Italian restaurant and Ristorante Bar Ponte Nuovo. I booked a table for 4 without any hesitation. When I arrived there, I found many passionate staffs were singing birthday song to the customers here. The atmosphere and services here were fantastic. We loved the pasta, pizzas, garlic bread and dessert here. I loved the chilling alcoholic beverages very much. I'll recommend here for those who want to have a good Italian dinning experience.
I really enjoyed this restaurant! Very beautiful decor and excellent service! My main course (Linguine Marinara) was full of beautiful seafood, maybe a bit salty for me, but I really enjoyed the majority of the food and the drinks too. The cheesy garlic bread was especially to die for!
Visited on Friday for an anniversary date night.
The food and service was exceptional.
I had the mussels to start and chicken salad and could not fault the dishes. I was even left too full for desert.
Very reasonably priced. And the house red went down a treat.
The restaurant was relatively quite for a Friday evening. Which was a surprise.. it’s well worth a visit! I’ll definitely be going back.
I'm surprised I've not reviewed this place already!
The staff, always welcoming, always friendly and great memories too.
The food, I've had various dishes, and they have all been good, even the steak and wine days are great.
Been here quite a few times since moving to the area and have enjoyed each experience, the front of house as well as the very friendly chefs are well worth your time to visit and it's not too expensive either.
Been here before in 2018 for a friend's birthday. The food was lovely. I had Salmon and the sauce used was truly amazing, fish was cooked from fresh.
Visited again April 2022 but this time for my own birthday which was very lovely. Compliments to the chef, food was lovely, we had some special request for some dishes which was well done. Excellent service. We had a private room that fit 10 people which was nice. I got my cake from costco which they brought out for me and sang me happy birthday. 😊 5 star deserved!
We had a late lunch here, so very few customers, some people were having a birthday party. The food is good and prices are very reasonable. Recommend.
Despite the fact that the restaurant is not in an exclusive area of London, I liked the way it looks and how it is organized.
The restaurant is clean and the food was good.
We all had a lovely meal. Everything freshly cooked and they will adapt meals to suit your tastes. Great service and wide range of drinks including cocktails.
With a group of 10 for a work event we were seated in the side room just off from the main dining area which was ideal for us. Great service and really nice food
This is a well-established restaurant with very warm and friendly staff who are very attentive. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is always warm and friendly. you are always welcome as a guest.

Came in here not knowing what to expect at all, not one to eat in Croydon and as a first time experience it was absolutely amazing.
Peppe showed fantastic service and was very diligent in ensuring we were happy with everything. Not once did I feel we had any issues getting what we needed and actually, initiative was taken to provide what we needed before even needing to be asked.
Would come again!
Food was excellent. Ordered the prawn linguine and tiramisu for dessert. Very friendly staff. The only thing I didn’t like was the choice of background music. YMCA coming on while you’re eating Italian didn’t feel authentic.
We booked the restaurant very last minute, came in less than 2 hours later and the staff were nothing short of amazing all night long. The decor is lovely and warm which makes it so inviting and the food was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back again!
Lovely experience, the staff were amazing, our waiter Beppe was great, extremely attentive and helpful, he made the experience even better, and even befriended the baby who was following him around. Very friendly, and made my mum's birthday experience magical. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you 😊 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Came here for a birthday dinner, surprised to find this hidden gem under the overpass. Great service, friendly staff and great food. Will definitely be returning.
It is an excellent restaurant where hoy can spend a pleasant evening. Also, it is elegantly decorated and the best of all It is the waiter Peppe who has made everything very easy. A professional though and though.
Omg this is my new favourite Italian restaurant!
I’ve walked past this restaurant a 1000 times but randomly decided to have my bday here. The cocktails are nothing short of amazing (taste + presentation), the food is delicious, the service is 5 star, the ambience is really nice and the location is amazing.
The average price of a main course dish is around £15 so not too bad at all.
All in all, highly recommend 👏👏👏
Searching for places to eat in the local area and this Italian place popped up. I don’t normally leave reviews but I feel compelled as the food was absolutely exquisite.
The Lamb shank and Rabbit meat are great!!
The Panna Cotta may be the best dessert I’ve ever had in a while! Just annoyed I had to share it.
I’ve been many times and I normally I would rate it a 5/5 but last night I went after not going since Feb 2022. I was a little disappointed. I understand everything is more expensive but linguine, which is my fave has increased by about £5 since I first went in Dec 2018. The service wasn’t great. Hard to get anyone’s attention. The waiter came over and tried to take away the bottles when they still had drinks in them and was behaving strangely. There was also a strange smell lingering. I also tried something new and tbh I didn’t enjoy it. Dessert was nice though. If this had been my first experience I wouldn’t go back. Side note: the manager who wasn’t in yesterday can sometimes make inappropriate comments about black people… E.g about us all looking the same and time keeping. He talks too much but he’s otherwise nice. £77 for 2 main meals and 3 desserts and drinks
