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 panna is back on the menu! So delicious, along with all the other food my family enjoyed. It is a holiday tradition to enjoy a meal at Ambrosia when the family returns to Indy - my adult children’s favorite restaurant as well as mine!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Ambrosia on Christmas Eve. We made a dinner reservation for a table in the bar, which was perfect, as it was actually quieter than the restaurant was. Daphne proved to be an excellent server, and our food was superb. Our salads and meals were spaced out nicely, and we never felt rushed, although the restaurant was busy. We enjoyed the happy hour cocktail specials as well! We plan to make this a part of our annual Christmas Eve tradition. 😊

Food was delicious. We were going to a play and our server made sure we got our food and bill in a timely manner. He was great! I want to go back soon and have the Rigatoni Medici again.

We were looking for Italian between Greenwood and Noblesville and chose to check out Ambrosia. Our waiter, David, was amazing and really took care of us well all night. Everyone loved what they ordered but we all agreed the seafood ravioli was the best dish. Parking was reasonable easy and our table was pretty much ready when we got there.
