Ambrosia was founded on the principle that the best food - and the best times of our lives - begin with love. In the Pizzi family kitchen in Liguria, Italy, the dinner table was a treasured space for family and friends. Since 1979, the Pizzi family, which now includes Gino's daughters Manuela, Anna, and Francesca, has been bringing that same love and commitment to the Ambrosia kitchen. Regular patrons and staff are all part of the family, and first-time visitors are welcomed like old friends.

I loved everything about this place but it took too long to get the food. We were there for 2 hours and 20 minutes and we each only had one cocktail so that's a long time to wait for your food. I would definitely come back because it was very very enjoyable.
