"On the recommendation of an acquaintance we visited the "Ponte Vecchio" for lunch. Ambiance: The entrance of the restaurant flows from “Hinterhofambiente” and has a little inviting effect, while a rustic Trattoriacharm is greeted inside with a slightly overloaded decoration. But what was directly negative to me was the dirty tablecloth, and even though we were the first guests just before 12 a.m. Now before my visit I read a promising review of “[hidden email]” on “Restaurantkritik.de” and I was already aware that this criticism must be a 5 x 5 star desire. Maybe the food can score! ... I thought and was disappointed – as much as before. Service: We were greeted by a young waitress, not only overwhelming, but okay. The head of the house was in the beer garden when cleaning, looking briefly at the restaurant, but had no desire to see us a “Buon giorno” or “Come stai”, also later only his regular guests welcomed with a Hello. What's going on? The female service was otherwise attentive and delivered us quite flotted with drinks. Food: There is a well sorted menu with all kinds of Italian dishes, but also a daily mirror with several recommendations. Our choice: Grilled calf carving with salad and potatoes up to € 15. My companions also chose the veal carving, twice the spaghetti Aglio Olio with pipes for 12,00 € and once the lasagna a modo mio at 12,30 €. Review: The portions were extremely laborious except for spaghetti. The spaghetti, according to my friends, were very good, the lasagna was also perfect, but only lukewarm, and the part was especially thirsty. My choice “Kalbschnitzel with salad and potatoes” could not score apart from the side salad This was crispy fresh, nicely assembled and perfectly lubricated with a fat spicy vinegar/oil dressing. The potatoes were pre-cooked, probably not too hot fat and somehow faded. The maternal calf carvings, estimated 150gr or less, were on the one hand beautifully slim, grilled with the typical grill strip also visually perfectly set in scene, but probably have on the preheated plates for a little too long. They were only lukewarm and a little firm and not so juicy anymore. Two more desserts were ordered that not only super presented, but also sound great after the information of my friends. The better choice was certainly spaghetti, calf carving and lasagna were not “master performance”. For the kitchen I give 3 stars. With drinks such as Soave 0.25l to 4.20€, mineral water 0.7l to 5,50€, espresso etc. we had a total bill of about 140€. A proud price for the offer. Visit on 04.06.2014"
