The chef is amazing. Between his story, his personality, his passion and skill, we absolutely loved our dinners there and his cooking show. The only drawback is his waitress. Would have been one of our favorite restaurants if she was just a little more focused on her job and customer service.

Ambrosia was an absolute delight from start to finish. The spinach flan was incredible—fresh, flavorful, and made even more special because the chef prepared it right in front of us during a live cooking demonstration. The second course, handmade pici pasta, was outstanding. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced, and hearing the chef explain how he had prepared the pasta earlier that day just added to the experience. Ambrosia combines authentic Tuscan cuisine with warm hospitality and a personal touch. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend it. It's a very atmospheric place with good food. The chef approaches guests and spends a moment chatting. I recommend making a reservation in advance as seating is limited.

A wonderful location. Fantastic food of the highest quality, decidedly gourmet but plentiful. Excellent wine. The chef coming to say hello is fantastic. The lady in charge of the dining room is truly a lady. The surprise of the divine ambrosia at the end. We were there a few years ago. We'll be back.

Dining at Ambrosia Restaurant in Cortona was an incredible culinary experience! The location is quaint and welcoming, and the dishes are superb in quality, flavors, presentation, and food pairing.
But what made the experience even more special was Chef Matteo, who is not only an impeccable professional but also a warm and passionate person. We had the pleasure of attending one of his cooking classes and were won over by his passion and ability to share knowledge.
I highly recommend this restaurant to food lovers, to anyone looking for a high-quality culinary experience and a welcoming atmosphere.

Our visit to Ambrosia Restaurant in Tuscany was truly a highlight of our trip. Nestled in the heart of the region, this charming spot offered not just a meal, but an immersive and unforgettable experience.
The setting was absolutely beautiful indoors, with a cozy, rustic ambiance that made us feel right at home. One of the most unique features was the glass floor, through which we could see an ancient well beneath our feet – such a fascinating and unexpected detail that added even more character to the space.
We were lucky enough to take part in a hands-on experience where we got to make our own homemade pasta and dessert. With guidance from the warm and knowledgeable Chef Mateo, we rolled, shaped, and cooked our way through a delicious and fun afternoon. Sitting down to enjoy the meal we created ourselves made it all the more meaningful.
To accompany our food, we were served the house wine, and it was absolutely amazing – smooth, rich, and the perfect complement to the dishes we made.
Ambrosia is more than just a restaurant – it’s a culinary and cultural experience that we’ll always remember. Highly recommended for anyone looking to savor the true spirit of Tuscany.

As a chef in the U.S., this meal and experience was at the top of my favorite restaurants in Cortona. Chef Matthew Sciarri puts his heart and soul into every dish creating fresh, local dishes that are perfectly presented and memorable. He made our group of 12 feel as if we were the only guests in his restaurant, however every table was full. It’s been a long time since I’ve wanted to go back to a restaurant the next night. Unfortunately, we were leaving for Florence the next morning or I would have. Grazie mille to the Chef and team!

Locale carino a Cortone. Avrei dato di più ma anche se è vero che ci siete venuti incontro nel cambiare qualche portata di carne nel menù terra ma un menù senza un primo come si deve non si può vedere. Vini buoni. Lo consiglio ma senza chiedere variazioni
