I rarely give out 5 stars, but Ponte Rialto really earned it this time. Everything was impeccable- from reservation to seating to service and the excellent food & drinks. Ponte Rialto is a romantic restaurant that makes you feel you're in Venice!Although it was a valentine's day dinner, the restaurant didn't try to make money by making the meal into an expensive set meal - we could order from the regular menu. Also, they didn't make a fuss although we were 45 minutes late from our reserved time!We settled down with their complimentary bread basket and a glass each of Prosecco and Chianti.Our starters of Caprese and Eggplant Parmigiana were simple, yet tasty and elegant.Our second course of Penne al Arrabbiata and Tagliata di Manzo were superbly executed. The spicy tomato gravy in the pasta was just right. The beef was perfectly cooked and served with good mashed potato.Dessert was Tiramisu and Limoncello!

With there outdoor seating, you can't go wrong! Ambience was classy inside the resto. Dine al fresco with the gondolas cruising, which almost felt like I was in Venice, Italy minus the people speaking in Tagalog.😂 The owners were so accommodating that we even shared a table together and laughed-out-loud with his stories. We later found out that the owner's wife was a known theater actress.Must try: Spaghetti Aglio Olio a Peperoncino con Vongole paired with Chardonnay.👌Price: approximately Php1800 for 2 pax. Yes, quite expensive but you won't mind paying this.

Never underestimate the power of a pretty, evening-lit location on the edge of Grand Canal mall's little piece of Venice.A pre-movie Italian dinner on a cool, breezy evening felt like just the thing to do, especially since I save eating good Italian for special occasions.Great appetizers and pizza (heavy on the carbo, but just this one time) are here at Ponte Rialto, with creamy mushroom fagottini, crisped up bruschetta, and chewy pizza that mustn't go to waste.Worth the occasional splurge. And no, we didn't forget the cannoli. The ricotta and pistacchio filling was too hard to resist!
