9/10We were given a lovely table overlooking the river and received very attentive service. We spent the weekend in Verona celebrating our anniversary and the meal at Ponte Pietra was definitely one of the highlights

10/10This is a delightful spot in a unique location right on the bridge overlooking the river. The exterior terrace is wonderful. The food is simply excellent and the service just about perfect. A lovely experience.

9/10A beautiful restaurant with shaded seating overlooking the river. Whether inside or out, great hospitality by the staff. Despite visiting every year or two, we are remembered! A menu that changes, great pasta & good level of creativity, knowledgeable cookery & an extensive wine list. We couldn’t visit Verona & not eat at Ponte Pietra.

8.5/10The food was great! Saw the balcony online, and went to enjoy the view. When we arrived all the tables on the balcony were occupied, and we were told that we could be seated outside once a table opened up. We ordered Prosecco and one of them was not bubbly at all. After appetizers, 2 tables were available, and the owner proceeded to tell us that the tables were reserved already. When we were paying, the tables were still unoccupied, and the owner slammed the card reader on the table. Overall the food was amazing, but the service needs improvement.

10/10Great little restaurant! Nice music and a collection of old cameras as decorations. Friendly staff, service just fast enough without rushing us. Excellent cuisine with fresh ingredients and local flair

10/10Fabulous food in a wonderful setting (beautiful view of the Ponte Pietra and the castle, with the sound of the rushing river below) along with friendly and knowledgeable service. A super night.

7.5/10I feel that the restaurant is trading on its previous reputation. The setting is magical and quirky. There are four small tables outside on the side of the river. It’s a small corridor like terrace looking out directly over the river. The views are spectacular as is the sound of the river. It’s a bit cramped but the view and the scent of the omnipresent Jasmine more than compensate. The inside is small, but cosy. And there are more tables outside the entrance to the restaurant. The food was good without being spectacular, but certainly no complaints about its quality. Unfortunately, the service was poor. The maitre d’ was friendly but the other two waitresses really struggled to manage a single smile between them. It was painful to watch as they attempted to smile. It really was a huge difference to every other restaurant which we have visited whilst here. By quite a long way, the least friendly. And, unfortunately, the service failure was exacerbated when we ordered our dessert. Spoons were brought out to us and then…….nothing. After 25 minutes I went to the Maitre d’ and said that as we’d been waiting for 25 minutes we had given up and no longer wanted the dessert. Curiously, she didn’t look surprised. She didn’t try to find out what had happened. She smiled sheepishly and said sorry. And that was it. No effort to find out where the dessert was. No effort to find out what had happened and no effort to explain to me. One last thing, the shirt of one of the waitresses looked like it hadn’t been washed for quite a while which added to the sense that they really weren’t too fussed about what we thought of them. Maybe they were just having a bad day but it was a shame that they detracted from, rather than added to, the other parts of the visit which were positive.

9.5/10Beautiful location overlooking the Ponte Pietra and river. Food was good, and nicely presented. The tuna tartar was delicious. We shared the rib eye, which the menu doesn’t say that it’s to be shared. At a 1 kilo (minimum) weight, be aware that it is HUGE. Extensive wine list.

8.5/10Food was very good and so was the service. Deserts were excellent. Service was good, very good or excellent debending on who was doing and what. The restaurant is cosy and there is a nice atmosphere. We had a fantastic evening and the wines were superb! We did not make it easy by wanting to share bottles, but ordered different foods. Definitely worth your time and your money!

2/10This is a terrible restaurant. They are clearly cooking the food well in advance and then reheating it. The pasta was gluggy and inedible. The meat dry. Sauce was crusted on to plates because it had been in the oven so long. The service was rude and terrible. Primi and secondi served at the same time for one guest and the waitress got angry when we asked if we could have it in order. Another guest had to wait nearly an hour for their primi plate. Terrible food. Terrible service. And the wine by the glass was very low quality. Be warned. Stay away!

Mr.Jensen Perhaps you are criticizing another restaurant where you found what you are talking about. We are exactly the opposite of what you wrote. Maybe you should clear your head or it's a good thing to stay in your country and not come to Italy, people like you are not welcome by us. Greetings Gianni

8/10We have been in the restaurant for the second time, it’s a beautiful restaurant with good quality of the food, but we noticed that some of the dishes on menu are delicious and some other, just a usual good taste. We will probably return to this restaurant, if we come back to Verona and if we are lucky, we will may get a free digestive this time!

10/10This restaurant is so delicious, we ate here twice when visiting Verona. The veal cheek with smoky mashed potatoes and a glass of Amarone della Valpolicella from the owner’s own vineyard is not to be missed!

4/10Very disappointing. I had proposed to my girlfriend earlier that day and had wrote a note on my booking but the restaurant had no idea when we turned up. They also didn't put on the seat we had booked as they had over booked. The foot was if high quality but had mixed reviews from us. The pasta was very good but the main and starter were disappointing. The service was shocking and I have had better service at my local pub. They were very slow at topping up drinks and the food to ages. Considering I spent 192 euros I expected a lot more. The most disappointing part was that they didn't see the note about engagement.

10/10On our Italy trip, we’ve had a lot of meals, some Michelin stars, but so far this was our favorite meal. Everything delicious. Friendly service. Beautiful atmosphere. Go you won’t be sorry!
