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.

    Back to Ambrosia for my wife's birthday and it's always a top tier experience. We asked for the music to be turned down slightly because we were seated next to the speaker and they were very kind and accommodating. Prices are always fair and the cocktails are great. Every pasta dish is delicious, and the short rib special melted in the mouth. I will always recommend this place if you want an intimate Italian dining experience. Thank you to the wait staff, front of house, and the chefs!

    Food was excellent, but very inattentive service and a noisy kitchen marred our experience. You get a mulligan on this one.

    Food and drinks were great as usual. Went away from my favorites and tried Bucatini Amatriciana, did not disappoint.

    Absolutely terrific care from reservation changes to check splitting. 8 of us and every one of us loved our meal. Portions were generous. Our service was flawless. My first encounter and hope to dine there often.

    Ambrosia has been our favorite restaurant in the entire state of Indiana for 15 years. We always feel like we are in a real city (like Chicago or NYC) when dining at Ambrosia. The menu selections and the food are always excellent. The wine list contains all the wines one needs when eating Italian: barolos, brunellos, amarones, and more. The prices of the food and the wines are amazingly reasonable. One can easily spend twice as much in a comparable restaurant somewhere else. Now comes one of the best parts of our dining experience: our waiter Dave. Dave is a master waiter and he doubles or triples the pleasure of the dining experience.

    The panna is back on the menu! So delicious, along with all the other food my family enjoyed. It is a holiday tradition to enjoy a meal at Ambrosia when the family returns to Indy - my adult children’s favorite restaurant as well as mine!
