Ristorante Al Ponte

Fantastic atmosphere, rip-off prices The staff could seriously not have been nicer or more courteous. The establishment was beautiful, in a good location near the famous bridge - and the atmosphere was very elegant and inviting. The prices, to be fair - were not so much more than any other below average to average restaurant you might find yourself in, however (and this is a big however) the quantity is NOT worth the price. It would be understandable to say that they charge a little bit more to keep the riff-raff out, or that it's to pay for the quality in ambiance. It would be fair to say that, if it weren't for the fact that they charge a 3 euro seating fee - per person! I was outraged by that, actually. And had the quantity of food not shocked me to my core when it arrived on the table, It still might not have been an issue. We ordered two dishes, respectively: Spaghetti with asparagus. I think they took one spoonful of pasta and placed it on the plate; Pork with potatoes. I think they took half a potato, cut it up, and then took about 5 pieces of chopped pork and put them next to each other on the plate. Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to take photos of the meal...but the description should be enough. We had a bottle of water to share. Our total dining cost for all of the above: 37 euros. As chichi as the atmosphere was, it was not worth that amount of money - especially considering there were about three bites worth of food. Having said that though, it was very good. However, because the staff was so nice, and the atmosphere was so good - I will give them credit rather than complaints. Just be forewarned that you are going to have to pay a pretty penny for your meal, even if your meal isn't really the size of a meal.

This restaurant has some delicious dishes. Service is very friendly :-

Perfect location, with fresh breeze from the river and under the shade of some 100 years old trees, with a wonderful view of the Ponte Vecchio BUT way too overpriced for the actual quality -and sometimes quantity- of the dishes and the overall service. For the same price you can go to a much finer restaurant.

For a lunch al fresco in front of the river and overlooking the Ponte Vecchio that leads to the old town of Bassano del Grappa, Al Ponte is wonderful. A generous menu, dishes carefully prepared with seasonal ingredients, reasonably priced and nice people helping you! What else can you expect?...ahhhh the delicious “chocolatini con grappa” in honor to the historic distileria Nardini, and made with the finest chocolates in the wold. Take a box home; You have to try them!

Please do not go there. Extremely low quality and by far too expensive. The small team cannot handle the situation. They also charge you 6 euro for a 3 potato side dish. Worst Italien Restaurant I have ever been to. The unfriendly manager ripps you off without even asking you if everything was all right. When you complain he suddenly does not understand any other language but Italien. Ridiculous guy. Had the salmon and the cod. Both were cold and tasted horrible. Also the plates did not come at the same time. So we had to eat alone.

I went there for work. Very good place, quod quality Italian and local food. Kind and helpful staff. Not far from beautiful bridge of Bassano di Grappa. I return there by my wife next time.

Nice restaurant on the river with a great atmosphere. Nice wait staff and delicious plates. Not too much food, so you can taste a good variety of plates.

Great view and good food, which came in a timely manner. The service was however unfriendly and made us feel unwelcome. This was confirmed by the lack of beau jest of offering a digestif after having ordered staters, main and desserts.
