I love coming to this place, they have fast serviceand fresh food. I had pasta alla Bolognese and my friend had rigatoni strofinati. The dishes were amazing.The staff were amazing, but there is a general assistant manager named Roger, he is so nice.
Have been coming here for many years. The staff is always impeccably friendly, warm, and, well, perfect! This place is quiet, the decor is hard to describe- sophisticated but cheery. It's a haven from the urban noise and funk. The food parallels the ambience - fresh and perfectly prepared. Had the omelette and almond cornetto during my most recent visit, even the French would be impressed.
What can I say about St Ambroeus Lafayette,
If you live to be taken care of and love fresh pasta prepared properly this is the place. Simple menu, paninis for a casual bite. Cafe next door to the dinning room for a sweet snack or a caffeine pick me up.
Love all the properties of Santa Ambroeus, they all have their own personality but all know hospitality.
Last but not least is the Princess Cake if you remember to save a little room .
It has the moisture and sweetness of a tree leches but with a twist a almond fondant icing that reminds me of Italian holiday treats from when I was a child in Brooklyn.
This cafe was cute and cozy, nice for a quick meet up stop with my friends.
It can feel a bit tight inside as there is not much room.
But coffee was nice, as well as the pastries. Again good for a quick coffee break.
I had the MC ambroeus, it was really tasty. Nice place for a relaxed brunch solo. Nice location and atmosphere. Their gelateria next door has taaaasty pistachio gelato
I had a lovely solo lunch here today. Hosts/managers were very welcoming and attentive, great service, fettuccine bolognese was terrific. Great spot.
I only took a picture of the desserts but all food and cocktails were delicious. Very nice atmosphere for brunch, outstanding service, and an amazing host! 💯 5 stars for sure. I’ll be back, will check it out for dinner next time!
Arguably the most authentic Italian food in NYC - each dish was excellent, the service was great, and the outdoor cabin was lively and intimate. The Gianduja (dessert) was delicious and won our hearts.
The only challenge was with the Branzino. The plating was fascinating but had to be eaten carefully because of the fish bones that were also present.
Bustling corner spot, with an upscale yet casual feel. Food was delicious and service staff were professional. Mix of indoor and outdoor seating, excellent for people watching. Recommend trying out the honey ricotta!
The staff at this location is incredible. Of course the food is impeccable but feel like that goes without saying when we’re talking about Sant Ambroeus. It’s truly the service that is just a cut above the rest. From the bartenders (shout out to Nico for the great conversation about the plate wall, I learned something new!), to the manager Marco and leader Michael. Everyone is so lovely and so committed to you having the best experience. I will always be a Sant Ambroeus SoHo stan! Five stars aren’t even enough for this spot!
I love this place! The pasta is absolutely perfect every time, wine list is excellent and the desserts are to die for 🫠Can’t wait to come back again!

Nice quiet little cafe with good drinks. The staff members were very kind and helped us set up a table for my larger group. We didn’t intend to stop here, but I’m glad we did.
Great little place. Just happened upon it while walking around and was able to be seated right away, but was still fairly busy. Service was great, very friendly and attentive. And the food was even better!
Gelato and an espresso martini by candlelight! Why isn’t there a Sant Ambroeus in every neighborhood?!?
Amazing service! Hard to find around nyc..from entering the restaurant till we left, we always had someone around caring for our table. Food & cocktails were good but definitely overpriced (pasta bolognese 31$). The ambience and lightning are nice. Would recommend more for couples than large parties as it is quite small.
Had brunch here today and from the moment I walked in the service was so professional. The managers are such a delight. The attention to detail changing the fresh flowers on the table and tasty plate. Cute aesthetic inside for pics. Perfect for a solo date or with friends.
