Great for fine wines

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.

Atmosphere was perfect- romantic and quaint. Our server Dave was fantastic- just the right pace and didn’t make us feel rushed. The food was incredible and for all we got the price was great! We will be back!

The food was excellent, as was the service, and the ambiance was exceptional, a rare mix of soft lighting and light jazz at a reasonable volume that made for a very pleasurable dining experience

Only taking the time because Open Table asked. Busy Saturday night for the restaurant and the food suffered as a result. If you can’t handle all the tables cut back the reservations. Our server was so sweet but food was NOT in par with past experiences. Oily pasta with red sauce for my daughter was shocking and the shrimp over angel hair and arugula was comparable to Cream O Wheat….I hope the kitchen just had a bad night. Manager comped my dish and they knew it was an off night - too bad it cost me $150+ regardless

Always a fantastic meal with right size portions for the price. Never disappointed. This time we were there for Devour and it was the most appealing menu on the list.
