IL Ponte

Food: awesome Service: fantastic Ambiance: Small intimate setting so you may need a reservation. Don't expect to be blown away by the inside, but the food is truly able to rival restaurants in the north end.

Squid ink with octopus was delicious. Octopus was cooked to perfection, and there was a decent amount of it. Personally didn't really like the ravioli, but I'm not a ravioli girl. Carpaccio dressing was too strong. The squid ink really carrying. Wait staff really nice.

Thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant! I had a swordfish puttanesca special that was outstanding! Everyone in my group very happy with their selections as well. We had a fig and cheese appetizer, awesome! Very nice wine list and prices fairly !! Will definitely be making a return trip!! The service was great as well our waiter was very attentive to all our needs !!!

Had a team dinner there with about 10 people. They squeezed us in day of which was a great accommodation. Their service was nice and quick. The ambiance was giving cute little Italian place. The food was amazing. They can use any pasta for the style of sauce they offer from the menu. I also add shrimp to my order which made it nice and filling! The tiramisu was killing! I love a good tiramisu that has hints of chocolate through out it.

My boyfriend and I were actually headed to a different restaurant in Woburn center, saw an open table, and decided to give it a try- I'm so happy we did! The restaurant itself was small and cozy with a good-sized bar, and we snagged a table right in the middle. Food is delicious- the burrata, Caesar salad, short ribs, and the semifreddo are definitely standouts. Cocktails were also delicious, including the limoncello martini and the boulevardier. The service was outstanding- we both remarked how helpful and friendly our waitress was! An absolute must- try in the area!

Food was solid, server exceptional. Great cocktails. Ambiance was awful - so loud it made conversation difficult. Place was packed and every table seemed to be trying to out shout each other to be heard. It was even difficult to order/talk to our server. I'm not sure I'd go back which is a shame.

Service, food, atmosphere = excellent. Sat at the bar and one of the owners served me. She was kind and friendly and gave great recommendations. Started with the prosciutto and burrata. Can't miss. Moved on to the chicken Marsala - another excellent choice. Finished with tiramisu. A perfect meal after a long day. I cannot more highly recommend. Clearly the owners take great pride in their Italian homeland and it shows. Haven't had Italian food this good since I was in Montepulciano and Florence.

The food is so delicious! I love the whole vibe of this restaurant. The food came out very quickly and the employees are so nice. The chef really pays attention to the details and sauces. 100% recommend and would definitely go back!

One of the best meals I've had in a long time from the prosciutto and burrata to the ceasar salad to the pizza to the bolognese to the steak and finally the cappuccino with almond cake and a cannoli. Absolutely amazing! Family owned and operated. You can feel the passion for food in that place!

Had a wonderful time at Chef Bene's IL Ponte last night with family. I've known Chef for 9 years and always impressed by his culinary perfection. Having his own place has been his passion. His kindness and compassion are genuine as is his love to prepare incredible Italian meals.Each meal is handcrafted and comes out like artwork. Be sure to try bartender Owen's unique cocktails. Thanks to you and your staff for a great night!
