About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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.

    Our server had numerous missteps during our dinner which created a diminished experience. Maybe she was having an off night. Our pasta could have been hotter, but it was tasty and flavorful.

    The main hostess was rude. The restrooms were in an area which was poorly lit. I tried to turn the light on and the main hostess asked me rudely to not do that. They should train the main hostess about customer service. We have many choices about the restaurants. We don’t want to go to get insulted. Our server was very nice. Food was okay.
