Il Ponte has one of the best views of the Athletes' Village, from either inside the glass walled dining room or out on the spacious patio looking west from the east side of the River Street Bridge.
Between that, a fantastic wine list and homemade Italian fare that includes gluten free options (Calamari Fritti $16, for instance, is dusted in chickpea flour), you’re set.
Nestled on the corner of Queen and Davies Avenue, and overlooking the Don Valley River, Il Ponte not only has one of the best views of the city’s skyline, but it also boasts some of the classiest decor and most delectable Italian fare on the east side. Choose from made-in-house antipasti and daily gluten-free pasta options, and pair it with some top-notch vino from the resto’s impressive wine list. For dessert, treat yourself to a creme caramel (as if you could resist). Hot top: Il Ponte is a more formal option, excellent for a dressy night out in Riverside.
