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.

    Incredible from the moment I stepped in the door. I was warmly greeted immediately by the host, who took our jackets and then seated us in the beautiful dining area. The tables are nestled closely together, but I never felt crowded or intrusive. Our server Madie, was the definition of hospitality. She knew the fine details, and paired my entree and wine seamlessly! My son asked me if we were VIP because of their team work and how many people were involved with our meal! Our glasses were never in empty. Our wine was delivered by Susan, who even replaced my son’s dirty napkin and took the time to explain the tasting notes of my wine, while also entertaining the children! She was so sweet!! We ended dinner with the most amazing caramelized banana split, while the manager, Peyton stopped by to thank us for dining and invited us to explore the Gallery space. He was professional, genuine and friendly. This spot is a MUST for family dining, date night, fancy dinner, and all your instagram photos 😉. Thank you RH for making my family night special.

    Whenever I come home from Florida, I try to include Petite Chou in my visits. It is my favorite restaurant in Indy. Antionette was an outstanding server tonight and I shall ask for her in the future. She was attentive, cheerful and efficient. The food was superb as always.
