About this restaurant

Neighbourhood 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.

Kate was great - on top of our entire meal. And the music was the best Ambrosia has ever had - fantastic play list! The food was excellent, as it has been since 1987. Meatballs are the best in Indy and Ravioli della Mamma - perfect!

I wish you had more salads that could be entrees. My grand had never had carbonara before and she LOVED it! I had the Mushroom ravioli special, and it was not my favorite...way too rich for me. I ate a couple and left the rest. Service was wonderful. James and Kate are the best!
