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 anniversary dinner was excellent. James was great. Our entrees, appetizers and desert were excellent. The house Chianti was excellent as well. Very highly recommended.

The food was good but the service was so so so slow. We were seated at our table for about 15 min before a server showed up. We put in drinks and apps right away (we had kids with us). And had to ask for the service to order entrees and then again for the bill (had to ask someone to find her - totally MiA). She didn’t check on us during the meal either. The service frustration ruined the overall meal for me. We were treating for a bday dinner too.

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!
