Ambrogia Caffé & Enoteca

The finest dining in Cape Charles. Reservations are strongly recommended. We were seated outside on a warm Saturday evening, and had pickled vegetables including olives, a flight of red wines, and the branzino (a whole fish with head and tail). Everything was delicious and the owner and server were very friendly. A great experience in every way.

The first word that comes to mind when thinking of Ambrogia is warmth. This restaurant exudes warmth in their customer service, the recipes they create, and the preparation of every dish that leaves the kitchen. Cristina takes such pride in her restaurant and it’s evident the moment you arrive. Their drinks are lovely-my absolute favorite is a peach cocktail (the exact name escapes me) and my husband has always been happy with his drink order as well. THE BREAD and OLIVE OIL are truly heavenly. The quality is obvious and appreciated, so delicious! Last time we dined at Ambrogia we ordered a charcuterie type appetizer and that was also wonderful-containing familiar and also new-to-us cheeses, meats, and accoutrements. Every pasta and/or seafood dish we have ordered over the years has been c

When in Cape Charles, this is the place you need to put on your list. My wife and I love this place! The food is incredibly good! The service felt so personal, we felt like long lost family members being welcomed home. I had the House made Fettuccine with smoked chicken and exotic mushrooms, outta this world. This Italian food is as authentic as it gets. Freshly made from scratch on premise, even down to the last strand of pasta.

Small 7 table restaurant with the best southern Italian food I’ve ever had. Absolutely a five star experience. Food was fresh and delicious. It’s a weekly rotating menu with local ingredients and set up traditional Italian course style. Portions of the main course were elegantly presented and the perfect size. We had the scallops and flounder mains.(Excuse the forkful missing from the flounder). Christine, the owner, maintains a superb wine list! We didn’t try dessert but will definitely be back to Cape Charles just for Ambrogia!

The perfect dining experience in Cape Charles! We recently celebrated our first wedding anniversary by dining here. It was reminiscent of our honeymoon in Italy. So authentic and delicious. Everything was beautifully presented and so tasty. With limited selections, they really focus on making the food perfect. We got the meat, cheese and veggie board to start. The marinated tomatoes were a favorite along with the homemade pesto! For the entrees we both got the fettuccini ragu, served like in Italy by being slightly Al dente. Then for dessert we ordered the caramel tiramisu. Incredible. We’ll be thinking about this meal for a long time! Thank you for making us feel so special on our anniversary with limoncello too!
