A restaurant within a restaurant, Ambra is an intimate experience built around a single communal table in the dining room or four cozy seats in the kitchen. Chef Chris D'Ambro engages guests during this leisurely tasting menu that can take upwards of three hours. What’s the rush, anyway? House-made pasta and gnocchi, warm focaccia and the likes of sweetbreads and lamb draw on Italian inspiration and reflect the team’s own commitment to the changing seasons. Dishes are attractively presented, and free-flowing beverage pairings are required.
