The Heart of Our Kitchen

Ponte Molo's cooking is based on simple but essential principles: fish from the Pila fish market, dishes that respect Po Delta traditions, and dining room staff who make you feel at home.

Open 365 days a year, for lunch and dinner, our restaurant celebrates the rich food of the Po Delta: from the daily catch from the Pila fish market to the prized Cozza di Scardovari PDO mussels, from wild local herbs to seasonal vegetables grown in the reclaimed lands.
