Ponte Vecchio is a small family run Italian restaurant in the heart of historic Hereford.

We pride ourselves on creating an authentic Italian eating experience - basing our restaurant on the ristoranti and trattorie of our beloved Firenze, and of course, recipes that have been handed down through generations of the Pavi Degl'Innocenti family.

We boast a traditional menu with lots of pasta, risotti and gnocchi dishes as well as meat and fish dishes. A monthly changing specials menu reflects the seasons and what an Italian family chose to do with seasonal produce.

We pride ourselves on having an extensive and interesting choice of vegetarian dishes and stock gluten free pasta for special diets.

Our ice cream selection is second to none in Hereford, and our chef, Alice, makes each and everyone of them on the premises.

Bella Torta at Ponte Vecchio, Alice's small cake business is holding cupcake decorating classes throughout the summer in our relaxed restaurant environment. If you'd like to come along for the day and learn how to decorate using techniques shown in the photos below and take home your own box of 12 cupcakes please enquire within the restaurant or visit www.bella-torta.co.uk for more. We'd love to see you there!
