I've heard that back in the 90s, Ponte's was a popular spot. Located in Tribeca, right on the West Side Highway, Ponte's makes a really great date spot for a romantic dinner. The views are breathtaking and the food matches the same.
We went there on their first night open after being closed for several weeks for renovations. So we knew that meant the food was going to be extra fresh and delicious. And boy, was it.
We started with the caesar salad, delicious, and then shared our entrees. We ordered the arragosta arabbiata (aka- the angry lobster) and it was phenomenal. The BEST lobster dish I think I have ever had. I would come back for this dish over and over and over again. We also ordered the steak, which to be honest, steak isn't the first thing that I think of eating at an Italian restaurant, but I was with a guy... what do guys know? But the steak was great too.
Seriously delicious food, and with the gorgeous view, it is highly recommended for a low-key, romantic Italian dinner.
