Caffè Ponte is a riverside Italian café-restaurant on the Motoyasu River in central Hiroshima, directly across from Peace Memorial Park. Opened in 2008, the name takes its cue from the Italian word "ponte" (bridge), reflecting the concept of a relaxing riverside gathering spot. The open terrace looks out over the river and park, while the indoor dining room offers a calmer, more intimate setting. The kitchen serves authentic Italian cooking built around fresh Hiroshima ingredients, especially local oysters, alongside wood-fired pizza, house-made pasta, risotto, and freshly squeezed juices. Its scenic terrace and varied menu make it a popular spot for morning coffee, lunch, birthdays, anniversaries, and casual meals with friends or family.
