Ponti was started in 1998 by three friends, Alberto Besa, Vincent Santos, and Cheryl Del Rosario, together with Chef Romeo Garchitorena. It opened for soft launch in November 1998 and formally to the public in February 1999. The initial kitchen staff, composed mostly of fresh graduates whom Chef Romy was able to mold into the chefs he wanted, are still on the staff today—one of the reasons the food has remained consistent after 10 years.
