  “Came here for an occasion and it was good - for starters we ordered the Bruschetta romana, tiger prawns and burrata pomodoro. These were great and I would get them again. For mains we ordered the Lasagna Al Forno, a few Pizzas and a Sirloin steak which were alright. The service was decent and it was quite busy - I suggest one makes a reservation. Also, everything was halal I believe.”

  “First time trying after being recommended by a friend. Food was pricey but the portions were generous. Extra cheese by the staff at the table was a nice touch. Wouldn’t recommend the sautéed potatoes as they were quite greasy and the oil had a smell. Overall however, our mains dishes were quite enjoyable. Staff were friendly and were cracking jokes however customer service could be improved overall. Staff didn’t want us to drink our own bottled water but when they told us they would bring over a jug, we had to wait until our food arrived. We had to get up to find someone to request the bill as well.”

  “Absolutely delighted to have visited this authentic halal Italian restaurant. I was recommended here by a friend and was not disappointed. Small and intimate, but yet cosy and warm. The pasta dishes were amazing and the waiter asking if we wanted freshly grated Parmesan was a lovely touch. Will definitely be returning!”

  “This restaurant was lovely. The food was piping hot and delicious. The staff friendly and attentive. The table was booked beforehand. They don't seem to have parking facilities. The price of each of our meals averaging £20- £30 per meal. This is the main meal it does not include our starters. If like alcohol with your meal purchase beforehand as they don't have a drinks license.”

  “This restaurant presents itself as an upscale Italian dining spot, but the overall experience fell short of that image. While the presentation of the dishes was polished and visually appealing, the food itself was underwhelming, especially given its reputation as one of the best halal Italian restaurants. The service was inconsistent, with some staff displaying behavior so unusual that it felt more suited to a circus act than a fine dining establishment. This distracted from what should have been a sophisticated and enjoyable experience. Overall, despite the attractive presentation, the combination of underwhelming food and eccentric service makes this a place I would be unlikely to return to.”

  “Honestly, I went into Poncho de Lango with zero expectations. Being used to the Italian scene in New York, I’ve been totally spoiled by authentic chefs and that specific sauce that makes you feel like you’re actually in Italy. I really didn't think I’d find anything close to that vibe in Birmingham. I’m so happy to say I was wrong! The food has some serious soul. It’s not that generic chain stuff; the flavors are deep and the sauce has that perfect, bright kick you usually only find in a top-tier Manhattan kitchen. The staff were also so lovely and made the night. A massive shout-out to Carlos—he was brilliant, super welcoming, and gave us the best recommendations. He really added to that authentic, friendly atmosphere. If you’re like me and have high standards for Italian food, give this place a go. It totally shattered my low expectations and I’m already planning my next trip back. Definitely a hidden gem!”

  “I visited Ponte di Legno today with my husband for dinner, but unfortunately we had a very disappointing experience. We chose this restaurant expecting proper, authentic Italian food, but the quality was far below our expectations. I ordered a seafood pizza, lasagna, and hot chocolate. After tasting the food together, we were so disappointed that we didn’t order anything else. None of the dishes were enjoyable — the pizza lacked flavor and didn’t taste fresh, the lasagna was poorly prepared, and even the hot chocolate was not made properly. We ended up paying the bill and leaving without finishing our meal. The service was average and not very attentive, and the experience did not feel worth the price we paid. Also worth mentioning is that they only serve non-alcoholic drinks. It may be possible to bring your own drinks, but this was not clearly explained. Overall, it was very disappointing, especially for a restaurant that presents itself as Italian. Sadly, we won’t be returning and would not recommend this place.”

  “The food was not at the standard I’d expect for the price paid. It was well presented. I had steak and prawns, the sauce was cold and the steak didn’t taste the best in my personal opinion. Not much flavour. Staff were polite. I wouldn’t say it is kid friendly due to not having kids menus. I wouldn’t go again.”
