Tantalize your taste buds with il ponte’s fresh local ingredients and authentic Cucina Italiana


43860c35-564f-4022-93a6-a2095912cecb_largeCiao Riverside! Located at the westerly gateway of Riverside, il ponte will be serving up Cucina Italiana BBQ tasters and musical entertainment at this year’s Eats & Beats Streetfest.

This new restaurant, whose name means ‘the bridge’, is perched on the east bank of the Don Valley, overlooking the West Donlands and Pan Am Games Athlete’s Village. The decor embraces the surroundings, culminating in verbal and visual reference points to the classic Riverside Bridge.

8There are many special features of il ponte but the most important one is the owner, restaurateur, Giancarlo. With 30 years experience in the industry, Giancarlo’s famous saying is that “menus are for tourists”. Every dish aims to provide ‘inspiration and palatial pleasure’, and custom orders are welcomed! You can expect fresh made soups and salads, gourmet pizza and pasta, fresh fish and seafood dishes and local house butchered meats. Good wines will always be carefully selected to pair.
