Ambra Restaurant

Very nice experience to sit in the kitchen and observe how the kitchen works with many chefs in it. They are great as a team. Food. I like the dessert dish of peach very much. The courses showcase some culinary skills, but I am looking for more sophisticated ingredients and transformations at the price point of 300$ per person. Disappointingly, I found the savory dishes are way over powered by butter. While sitting in the kitchen, I noticed that the chefs are reusing their utensils across that they tasted the dishes, which is disturbingly not hygienic to me.

We had a phenomenal experience at this restaurant. The food was outstanding—creative, diverse, and deeply seasonal. Every dish felt thoughtful and inspired, showcasing not just technical skill but a real sense of culinary joy. One of the highlights was getting to dine in the kitchen. It was a rare treat to experience things up close, and the interaction with the chef was both personal and insightful as each dish was described. You can tell the team takes pride in what they do. Service was excellent from start to finish—attentive without being overbearing. The wine list was a standout as well: detailed, curated, and refreshingly different. Mostly biodynamic bottle from small family-run wineries in Europe, but they said they also have a domestic selection. Highly recommend this place! Ju

Wow - what a night! My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Ambra, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable dining experiences we've ever had in Philly.

That might sound long on paper, but trust me - the evening flies by. Every course was beautifully presented and full of flavor, with clear Italian influence but lots of creative, modern touches. The wine pairings were fantastic -- each one felt like it elevated the dish in a really thoughtful way. The setting is also what makes Ambra special. Everyone sits around a communal table, which honestly could have gone either way, but ended up being such a highlight. Besides th

One of the best dining experiences in Philadelphia. Such creative food with local connections. The service and attention to detail is unmatched. Highly recomended!

The notification text worked in the Resy app, as on Thursday, my phone buzzed, telling me that 2 seats were available on Friday at Ambra, which was perfect as it was my birthday. We snagged the two kitchen counter seats - and I’m so grateful we did as the whole night was fantastic. The food, the service, the ambiance - all top notch. 7 courses plus a few extra small bites were hands down - 100% - delicious. Not one bad note. The dishes were all unique and playful and beautiful. Those who know me know that I don’t like fishy fish (smell of fish turns me off) - but the few fish dishes were perfectly presented and seasoned and delicious. I’m already thinking about how I can get a full entree of their Smoked Swordfish - and their Sourdough Rigatoni Al Limone - as I almost embarrassingly
