Lovely neighborhood spot. Great staff. When they first opened the food was tasty but inconsistent. But they have worked out the kinks and found their mojo. Something for everyone.

Third time eating here and every meal has been delightful. Standout dishes this time were the crispy brussel sprouts and the mafaldine pesto pasta. Finished with pistachio panna cotta (which almost tasted like a cheesecake) and creme brulee --both were delightful. Love that it's a BYO too. Staff were super attentive and everything came out very quickly.

Once I arrived, there was a check in desk right outside. The lady that checked me in was quite friendly. She asked if I wanted to sit in the old or new dining room because they recently expanded. She showed me to the new dining room first and I decided to take the table there. My friend and I ordered 2 starters: salmon belly and mussels, and 2 entree: squid ink spaghetti and risotto. The salmon belly was alright, nothing too special. The mussels were better. I like their sauce, a bit of a spicy kick in it. Not bad. With the two entrees I felt they are not bad, pretty good. Maybe I have a bit higher expectations for this restaurant, especially after checking out others’ reviews, I felt their dishes are not extremely delicious to the point I felt that wow I need to come back and try more. At the end of the meal, we wrapped it up with a creme brûlée, which was not bad. Not too sweet with the crispy melted sugar on top. Overall, the meal was delicious but somehow not satisfying enough for me.

I recently dined at Ambrosia Ristorante in Philadelphia and found it to be a mixed experience. The food is undeniably delicious, with each dish showcasing excellent flavors and high-quality ingredients. The menu features a range of well-executed Italian classics that are sure to please the palate.
However, the experience was somewhat marred by the service and the overall atmosphere. While the food is worth praising, the service fell short of expectations. The staff seemed inattentive and slow, which detracted from the enjoyment of the meal. Additionally, the ambiance, while pleasant, didn’t quite justify the higher price point of the dishes.
In summary, Ambrosia Ristorante excels in the culinary department but struggles with service and overall value. It’s a great choice if you’re willing to overlook these shortcomings for the sake of a fantastic meal, but be prepared for a bit of a letdown in other areas.

Everything we ordered was truly exceptional. It was all so good, and we just kept saying to each other that we couldn't pinpoint what was slightly unique about everything, but whatever it was, made it all so incredibly delicious! The mussels were the meatiest I've ever had. The caesar salad was a bit non-traditional but amazing! Entrees were the veal medallions & squid ink seafood pasta. Then tiramisu and chocolate mousse for dessert. All outstanding! Can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu!

Ambrosia exceeded all my expectations with its exceptional food and service. The standout dish for me was the raw salmon belly, which was incredibly fresh and delicious. However, every item I tried was fantastic. The staff were attentive and friendly, making the entire dining experience wonderful. I highly recommend Ambrosia to anyone looking for a delicious meal!
