Shortly after the original Sant Ambroeus opened its doors in Milan in 1936, a devoted following emerged. This celebrated pasticceria and confetteria became the meeting place for the local intelligentsia, whether beginning their day with Sant Ambroeus’s legendary cappuccino and cornetto, savoring panini at lunch, or spending their evening enjoying refined cuisine in the restaurant’s elegant dining room.
We translated these old-world sensibilities of Sant Ambroeus to modern times, and imported our rich culinary traditions to New York. Each of our restaurants remains authentic to our Milanese origins, and we continue to serve our culturally inspired delectables in a casual yet elegant environment.

The linguine alle vongole was delicious. However, it was a modest portion and relatively expensive. I was very full at the end of the meal, but a larger/hungrier person might have considered the main course too small.

Weekend breakfast. Nice overall experience. Cold was good, as an avid tea drinker, I liked the fact that, as an Italian cafe, they served an Italian tea brand; good attention to detail. Had better value for money at higher end hotels though.

I love Saint Ambroeus, especially this location. It is my favorite, even during the no indoor dining period. The staff is always so kind and courteous. The food always delicious. I do wish they would add the gnocchi special to the permanent menu. It is one of the most delicious dishes I’ve ever tasted!! T hi is will always be on my list of top NYC restaurants.

What a great place. As close to being in Rome as you can get. From the front of the restaurant, which has small tables, a friendly bustle, a coffee bar with the BEST coffee in NYC, plus yummy desserts and gelato, to the white tablecloth seating in the back of the restaurant w helpful, professional service and delicious menu, it doesn’t get better than this.
