If you are not sure how to get those bones out of a fish Silvano at Ponte Nuovo is there to help you. He kindly showed me how to de bone a beautiful piece of Bream that they have cooked for me. Lovely place. Always helpful.
Had a lovely romantic meal here. It has a great ambience with enthusiastic waiters who seem to take great pride in their service.
We shared a gorgeous bottle of red as well as an authentic Peroni for the man.
The food was divine, we couldn't say no to 3 courses here as it all looked so tempting.
We started with ciabatta & olives, calamari fritti and some gorgeous prawns in garlic, white wine and chilli sauce. This all went down a treat and gave us a taste for the delicious mains that were yet to come.
The man ordered steak (as I was paying, yeah, thanks mate!) and I had Spigola alla Griglia which is Seabass with red pesto mash and spinach. Both were cooked perfectly and had the best flavours (good work Chefs). We were almost licking our plates when the smiley waiter came over to clear the table and offer desserts. When in Rome...
How could we possibly say no to a traditional Tiramisu and Gelato?! So glad we ordered these too! Food heaven.
Perfect evening to enjoy with the other half, even if we were twice the size by the time we left.
Crystal palace seems to be a area that is bustling with restaurants from Cuban to Italian…..Speaking of Italian a certain restaurant stands taller and has its chest out like a peacock more then the rest ‘Ponte Nuovo’.With a good choice of our favourite Italian food and yes the classic pizza which you can ring in and come and collect if you choose to, this restaurant is very relaxing with a clean spacious interior and bar to match. I came for lunch and was greeted by friendly staff that was carefree and wasn’t breathing down our neck for a order to be placed which makes a welcomed change. The selection of seafood must be mentioned and it taste just as fresh as you imagine it to be dining in Naples by the coast of Italy.Having been in Italy a couple of months earlier,the craving for the Italian food never deserted me and I’m pleased to say that Ponte Nuovo did not disappoint, if you get a chance do give it a try. Also has crystal palace park nearby to walk off those calories.Great selection, superb food, quality service and local to me, not much more I could ask for!Cost – £15 upward pp Group size 2 -15ppl Location:66 Westow Hill, London, SE19 1RXCarlstimeout rating -7.5/10
