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.

Great elevated comfort food in a cozy restaurant with friendly staff. We let our server Trinity know we were headed to an event after our meal and she brought us a delicious meal and we were out on time. The food is always creative and terrific at Root & Bone and we will surely be back.

I took my brother to Ambrosia to celebrate his birthday. We had a wonderful meal and great service. The carbonara, my brother's favorite as well as my own, was outstanding. Our server was just the right amount of attentive and presented us with a choice of desserts in honor of his birthday, on the house. The chocolate cake he chose was dense and moist and also very good. I highly recommend this restaurant.
