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.

The chef/food is always fantastic. The waitstaff is too and on this visit we had a great time being served by Nikki (sp?) who was awesome and hilarious. Another member of the staff (new guy from Greenwood…whose name we didn’t catch) also made this a very memorable visit.

Our first experience with Dawson's was everything we hoped for. From the time we were seated, then throughout the meal and a complete menu list, the experience and ambience was top notch. I would recommend this restaurant for that special experience and the opportunity for future memories.
