Stunning Hudson River views, flaming wood burning oven at the entrance and glass fronted rotisserie in the dining room set a captivating stage for savoring Ponte’s glistening raw bar offerings, seductive pastas made daily on-site, classic Italian entrees such as osso buco and house specialties like the world famous “Angry Lobster, ” as well as succulent selections from the rotisserie.
