Review Ponte Vecchio - Keighley

Visited for the first time Tuesday 18th Dec 2023 We had meatballs and garlic pizza for starter which were very fresh and tasted really good. For mains we had steak and chips and Lasagne. We had 2x glasses of house red and white wine. Service was excellent. Owner was very friendly. Overall a very good experience for Italian restaurants. The total bill came to £66 which I find to be excellent value for money. If you like tipping for service take cash as this option is not available at the card terminal.

Love this place without a doubt will come back again!!! We came up to Yorkshire to celebrate a family event and decided to come to this family run Italian restaurant as it’s the only other one that was open in the town (other one was closed). The staff were all so lovely and helpful helping us choose what to eat, the owners dad was singing and whistling while serving it was a great vibe. All the customers were speaking Italian and the place was full so we knew we came to the right place! We even ended up seeing the owner and her dad in the cafe we went to the next morning haha! Now the food, they had a deal for three courses I think it was £18 We got the calamari, garlic bread and king prawns Maybe because we opted for the deal we got served smaller portions but that’s no issue you get what you paid for however the king prawns were not king prawns at all, they were very small and were regular prawns and only 5 came. They were the size of a 10p coin. Also didn’t come with shells (which upon asking about why these aren’t king prawns which we didn’t get an answer to, they have no shells because the community doesn’t like it which is understandable) the sauce however was spicy but not too much and had a great fresh tomato flavour!! The calamari was delicious the sauce was also great, and the garlic bread was soft and pillowy, great to dip into the sauce of the prawns!! The mains were a very big let down, lacking of flavour but good portions. I got the mixed seafood linguine in tomato sauce, my friend got the lobster ravioli and my other friend got the chicken, cream and pesto pasta I believe. My pasta was a generous portion with plenty of seafood however had no flavour, no salt or pepper no garlic nothing it was just as if they just stirred the pasta with the sauce and seafood and just put it on a plate. My friends lobster ravioli didn’t taste of lobster at all just of fish, like sickening fishy, I think they may use seafood bouillon or fish paste in the sauce or ravioli, no complaints from the chicken cream and pesto friend but he eats anything really haha. The pasta itself was cooked really well and aldente! I think they sensed we didn’t like it and did offer to change our pastas however we didn’t want to complain as they were so lovely!!! Also the wine we ordered was a white wine and we got a bottle, it was warm… and we realised it came out of the box it had came in and wasn’t in the fridge at all. The wine cooler they put on the table that had the wine in had a few measles ice cubes at the bottom and was plastic… so didn’t do a good job at all. Surely, Knowing you’ve not got a properly chilled wine, you would provide a proper cooler and more ice, nevertheless the bottle of Pinot Grigio was delicious. The service and dessert is where they won us over, they had a special dessert of Trilece (they import the caramel from Albania, and the homemade tiramisu! These were to die for, even though we were stuffed we practically licked our plates clean. We ended our dinner with a lovely chat with all the staff about what there is to do in Haworth and Keighley and Limoncello on the house. The food is extremely reasonably priced but I’m coming up from London so I’m not going to blab on about that haha, and they don’t even add service to their bills. They said that their menu is expensive to where they are. 3 courses for each person ( we were three people) and a bottle of wine £75 !!!!!! I highly recommend this place if you’re nearby and if I ever go back up to Keighley I will be visiting again!!! Grazie per averci ospitato, ci vediamo di nuovo!

Authentic Italian restaurant with delicious food run by a Italian family very kind. They have kids menu.

We came here for my birthday on Friday. The food was outstanding as always. The staff were amazing, the owner was very charming and welcoming, the young Italian ladies were very attentive and the young lady with the glasses looked after our table very well. 10/10 experience as it always is every time we come. Already can’t wait to go again!

Excellent food and lovely people. Good value too. Will definitely go again.

Lovely food and great service only little let down was the lasagna and mince meat was a little fatty and gristley. The two course meal tho is great value and highly recommend

Had a lovely meal last night. My family and I enjoyed it enormously. Very good value, good service

Ordered through just-eat as I'd feel I right pleb going in asking for a table for 1. The food arrived hot and tasty, the delivery person was friendly and had good manners. I'd eat here every day if I could afford it. It's a real belter of a restaurant, thank you.

Wonderful night. They perfectly catered to our party of twenty. Amazing food and great service. The owner amusingly apologised to us for what he thought was slow service as they were a staff member short when we never noticed an issue at all!

A charming traditional family restaurant. Very 80's - we had prawn cocktails followed by a pizza and chicken cacciatore. The owner/manager was lovely and wanted to know all about us. Also, the set menus are great value, and a decent bottle of wine to go with it for the price. I would definitely go again if I was in the area!

Authentic and delicious Italian food. Great service. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely meal here tonight, the staff were so attentive and the food was lovely. Would definitely recommend and already looking forward to returning. Thank you.

Arrived with a group of about 30. The food was quite slow in coming, and there wasn't a lot on my plate. Also the side orders didn't arrive with the main, they came over 5 minutes later. The staff were polite and attentive so that's a plus. So, could do better.

Beautiful restaurant, amazing food, friendly staff and all at a great price!

Very nice food - we really enjoyed the meal. Only minus was the amount of seafood served up in the whitebait starter and the linguine prawn main. The starter looked a bit sparse/sad as it was set down on the table. The number of prawns in the linguine could be counted on one hand. A few more wouldn't have cost the earth !

Very good service and food, real value, delicious

Amazing, food is great, lovely family staff, suitable for anyone and a very cosy environment i would recommend xx

Did well at catering for us, considering we were a party of 35! The ribeye steak al pepe i had was cooked exactly how I wanted it and was gorgeous. The staff were really friendly and good with kids too. Would recommend.

Great food friendly staff lovely atmosphere

Delicious food and made me my favourite pizza even though it wasn’t on the menu. Lovely staff too. Would recommend it 😊👍

Brilliant food. Great menu choice and pricing.. especially the early bird menu. Service was amazing. Perfect for a quiet meal or for a big group party. Highly recommend!! Will definitely be back �. Thanks for a lovely evening.

Gorgeous food, excellent service always feel so welcome when we are there. It has such an Italian feel from the decor to the music to the food and to the staff most of the staff are Italian. Well worth a visit you’ll be impressed xx

Absolutely fantastic, wonderfully cooked meal. Went on the spur of the moment and can't wait to go again. Cannot praise this place enough. Staff friendly and welcoming, authentic Italian atmosphere and once again....the food. Perfect steak and reasonably priced, as were the drinks. Everybody should experience this place at least once!

Had an absolutely wonderful evening. The food is superb and the staff are amazing. Great atmosphere and loved the singing and dancing!! Highly recommend this gorgeous little gem of a restaurant, we will definitely be going back.

Lovely food and great service thoroughly enjoyed the evening but you must install a handrail on the steps between the bar and restaurant �

First time we've visited and it is amazing! Food was delicious (highly recommend the lobster ravioli!) and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I'm sure our 14 year old daughter and her friend were secretly chuffed that everyone in the restaurant sang "Happy Birthday" to them, we were over the moon. We'll certainly be coming back!!!

Went last night for our wedding Anniversary lovely meal exceptional service from staff been a few times now and each time excellent food and attentive staff couldn't ask for better
