Fodor's Expert Review Ponte Vecchio

Classic Italian fare like veal marsala, linguine alle vongole, and pasta e fagioli isn't hard to find in Bay Ridge, but this lively, upscale Italian eatery has the street cred that comes with being in business since 1978 and having a famous sister restaurant (Angelo’s of Mulberry Street, open since 1902) in Manhattan's Little Italy. The namesake Pollo Rollatini Ponte Vecchio—chicken stuffed with prosciutto, mozzarella, and mushrooms, in marsala sauce—is one of the standout entrées. Ask to sit in the garden during the summer months for a more intimate dining experience.
