With that in mind, we will still require pre orders to keep our food waste right down. Social distancing, face masks + either a check in via the NHS app or contact details for every member of your party upon arrival will still be required. Our takeaway service will run alongside our dine in service, but with reduced slots so that Alice can cope in the kitchen.

If you've a smaller or fussy eater in the house, or someone in your party has a dietary requirement, then please get in touch and we can sort out an appropriate meal for them. We aim to recreate the passion of the Italian family table, and the charm, intimacy + atmosphere of our favourite venues in our beloved Firenze.

Our Story Report

Ponte Vecchio is a family run trattoria with a small local feel. Aided by a tiny team, we are a husband + wife team, with Leonardo running the front of house and Alice hiding in the heat of the kitchen. Positioned in the historic heart of Hereford, between the Cathedral + the Old Bridge, we consider ourselves an important, longstanding part of Hereford's vibrant food scene.

Menus Report

Our seating capacity is currently reduced by a quarter to allow for proper social distancing. While you can chance walking in for a table, we do advise booking and prefer a preorder. This system helps us to navigate sit down dinners and takeaways in a much more efficient manner. Our takeaway menu is currently available for collection only, Tuesday - Saturday evenings 6 - 9pm.

Excellent standard of food, great service. Rustic interior. Both me and my Italian partner loved this place, and he's hard to please with Italian food!

What a gem of a place , we only managed to squeeze in unbooked because there was a cancellation. Food was fabulously different from your usual Italian and beautifully cooked, we thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful and the service was friendly and attentive.This is a restaurant which clearly cares about it’s customers and Is well worth a visit

Hereford’s hidden gem. Located on Bridge street, this is a lovely family run Italian restaurant. The service is excellent , prices reasonable and the food is to die for. As someone with a tomato allergy I’m used to being stuck with carbonara but not here, mentioned the allergy and they said I could have the dish I wanted they’d just change the sauce. Fabulous. And the gelato is worth a visit any time of year. A true delight to eat in or take out.

Some of the nicest food I have ever had. Everything we ordered was absoulutely delicious. The service was also really fantastic and friendly. It's one of those rare places where the passion of the owners really comes through. I hope to visit again next time I'm in the area.

What a beautiful restaurant. Everything was absolutely perfect - from the cosy decor, the delicious food and the outstanding service. We visited last night and will definitely be back! My partner is Italian so his standards are high when it comes to Italian cuisine and Ponte Vecchio did not disappoint!

Fabulous food, drink and service in an intimate setting. So glad we booked in advance as many turned away on the night. Thank you Leonardo!
We will definitely return.

Can't praise this intimate restaurant enough. Booked a table while we were in the UK in early September, but wish we could have dined here more often. Food was superb, service great. Recommend the cod (from the summer menu) and the short rib ragu!

The food was excellent authentic Italian and ran as a family business. We have been in Hereford all week and this was the best meal of the week and reasonably priced. Highly recommend.
