I called to inquire about getting a table and after I attempted to speak Italian (granted I am not fluent) the woman on the other end of the phone told me that they were completely booked for the night. I was going to ask about booking for another time, but she hung up on me before I could ask a question. Very rude! Will not be booking a table at this restaurant. read more

It was beautiful and we enjoyed our time there. The view and the service was wonderful.

This place was amazing! My wife and I came here on our fifth anniversary they treated us so well! The steak was amazing as well! It came with an amazing garlic aioli that was to die for! There were beautiful views both from inside and outside dining! read more

Went here last night and safe to say we were very disappointed. Firstly, the service was extremely slow and not prompt. Took 20 min just for one martini. If we didn't flag a waiter down we would've been waiting for forever. Octopus was not cooked well at all, ravioli and lamb were nothing special. It did rain prior so we were unable to sit outside, which I understand is not their fault but defeats a lot of the purpose of going there. Overall wouldn't recommend read more

Ambrosia was our first meal in Rome; and it is by far the best meal we've had. It's located in the upscale Artemide Hotel. As soon as I walked into the restaurant my heart smiled with excitement. The ambience of the restaurant was spectacular with low light and contemporarily designed and perfect to celebrate my hubby's birthday. We didn't get to eat on the rooftop because of the weather, but it didn't matter. The food was by far the star of the evening. We started with drinks, caprese salad, and an array of breads with the best olive oil I've ever tasted. It had a slight sweetness to it. I ordered the lobster and my husband ordered the lamb. The lobster and lamb were prepared to perfection, and the portions were filling. We've already booked another reservation read more

Love these rooftop patio bars/restaurants like the Ambrosia! Great views, casual vibe, creative cocktails and solid italian food. They also have nice shaded areas so you can still have great views/outdoor dining on a hot/sunny day. Great location as well. read more

The food was mediocre, and the service left a lot to be desired. I just left the restaurant five minutes ago and am seething. Not once during my meal did anyone ask me if I needed anything. I had to flag someone down to request salt. I felt ignored. I was highly disappointed. Until then, I had a wonderful experience as a guest at the hotel. If you are looking for a great experience and phenomenal food, go elsewhere. Do not believe the hype. read more

My goodness. I'm giving this place 1 star for the rude doorman who offered zero help. We saw this place advertising rooftop restaurant and wanted to check it out. We were stopped at the door around 6 and told it was full. I asked if I could make reservations for later and he told me to call and find out. Ummmm...I'm here now, can you just check or let me go up and ask? Okay, so I tried calling. Good thing I had purchased a European SIM card. Rings to an automatic hold. No answer after 10 minutes. I hung up and told doorman. He could not possibly care less. Went to eat around the corner and was happy as can be. This place can kick rocks for all I care. read more

After so many incredible meals in Rome it's time to start reviewing... Ambrosia was our 'big' meal in Rome. Meaning, we got dressed up super nice and were prepared to drop a lot more money... This place is super romantic, request a view table on the patio, the setting is incredible. The drinks and bartender were great here, we broke the mold and just had cocktails, no wine (the bartender was that good). The food was awesome, we went with a lot of the suggestions from the server and my wife were both super happy. The bill ended up being very reasonable, ~120, way less than I expected for the quality of food, drinks and service we got. Absolutely would return. read more

This restaurant was beyond terrible, if I could I would give it 0 stars I would. I asked the waiter what dish I should get in the "fish" option and he recommended the clam pasta, I forgot the full name but it had clam. When the dish came out, it was so fishy all we smelled was the clam. My boyfriend even pointed it out. I thought wow this is VERY fishy, but continued to eat since it was expensive and we already ordered. Side note, I love everything seafood, everywhere I travel I eat seafood, and NEVER ONCE DID I NOT FINISH A SEAFOOD PLATE EXCEPT HERE. It was so fishy, it smelled rotten. I finished the clams because I thought I had to since I just spend so much money I should at least finish the clams. The waiter comes to take our dish, she asked how was it, I said: "It was very fishy." She says one moment and goes to get another waiter. He comes and says, "how was the meal?" I said, "It was very fishy." THEN HE SAID, "WELL IT WAS A FISH DISH." I did not say anything else except, "I understand, it was just very fishy, that is all I am saying." And then he left. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, I KNOW FISH AND THESE CLAMS WERE ROTTEN. THEY WENT BAD --- VERY BAD. THESE CLAMS GAVE ME FOOD POISONING AND I DID NOT SLEEP ALL NIGHT. I KNOW BECAUSE IT WAS THE LAST MEAL I HAD THAT DAY AND MY BOYFRIEND (WHO WAS WITH ME ALL DAY) HAD NO PROBLEM. So it was not just "a fish dish" lol. I hated it. Just don't go. read more

So I usually don't do hotel restaurants BUT after two weeks traveling with the kiddos, we needed to stay in. This place is the swag. Awesome food. Slight, very slight off take on Roman cuisine. Totally hits the target. The lamb was perfect. (And I've had lamb at Mont Ste. Michelle as a comparison). The monkfish was tender and sublime. And forget about the cheese. Made in house and it melts. Just melts. To seal the deal, the service is top shelf. Actually, more like being in a friends home. We were traveling in Spain and I kept switching from Spanish to english, and still the entire staff kept pace and helped us through the course. Oh, did I mention it's rooftop with the Vatican illuminated in the background? Ciao read more

On our last night in Rome we wanted to eat somewhere a bit more nice and decided to start the night with cocktails over here. Hostess was so nice and friendly and guided us to a table near the window. Mauritzio (?) was our waiter for the evening and he took such a good care of us! We had 2 drinks to start with, me a Pina Colada and my date had an Old Fashioned. Drinks were yummy! Eventually we ended up having dinner here too, since they had a free table for us. The place did get packed and was almost completely full by the time we finished our meal. We had veal and beef and they were both exquisite! It was just a perfect way to end the trip. The view would be unbelievable during the day, however at night we could barely see anything which was a bummer but if I'm ever here in Rome again I will definitely come back! read more

After spending 10 days in Italy visiting our daughter, my husband and I traveled back to Rome for our last evening before flying back home. We stayed at the Hotel Artemide, which I highly recommend. The streets near the hotel were crazy with traffic and people and we didn't find anything on Yelp that excited us any more than what the hotel's restaurant (Ambrosia) had to offer, so we decided to have dinner that evening here. We arrived early to have a pre-dinner drink at the bar. Just a quick sidenote: during our stay in Italy we had only come across bars/restaurants that served wine, beer, and some limited cocktails (wine spritzer, gin & tonic, etc). We were VERY pleasantly surprised to find that the restaurant had a full bar. So, I asked for my drink of choice (a martini) to which their amazing bartender, Maurizio, replied "James Bond, 007"; I laughed and said "YES, exactly!" It was the PERFECT martini! Next, came the real test when my husband ordered a Manhattan. Maurizio smiled and seemed very excited to make it (we guessed that he probably didn't get too many requests for unusual cocktails). We were greatly entertained as we watched Maurizio make the Manhattan with great flair, as he employed one unusual bitter/liqueur that he had in a mister, which he used to spray both the ice and the cocktail glass. Not only were the drinks perfectly made, but Maurizio was really sweet, funny, and clearly has a passion for making guests feel at home. As for the food, I had the lamb, and my husband their steak. Both were perfectly cooked and delectable, and the chocolate molten cake was the perfect end to the meal. Well, technically, my husband and I went back to the bar to be treated to another fabulous drink by Maurizio! read more

Ambrosia Rooftop Restaurant & Bar - Featured are cocktails "Ambrosia Anytime", & "Aperol spritz" - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

We liked this place so much we went twice! Once for dinner and once just for drinks on the terrace. Since we were here in December we ate inside for dinner but it's still a pretty view with a lit up Christmas tree outside on the terrace. The vibe is upscale and luxurious which matches the hotel lobby below. The service was excellent and they always had tables available without reservations (again, in December). The menu looked great and it was hard to choose just one thing. I ended up getting a seafood pasta and my mom got the scallops. My pasta was fantastic, the sauce was very good but I would've liked there to be larger pieces of seafood in the pasta. I tried my moms scallops and they were tender with a perfect sauce. We also went for dessert and the vanilla gelato was everything I wanted and more. The warm chocolate syrup was so good and gardens on the cold ice cream which was really tasty. Overall loved this place and a great treat on this charming street. read more

We were staying at the Artemide Hotel and finally visited the rooftop bar for cocktails on our last night. Excellent service. Beautiful atmosphere.

Scott and I have nothing but great things to say about the staff at Abrosia Restaurant! Everyone working there were so gracious and so friendly. We absolutely loved everyone. We were taught how to put olive oil on bread and salt by our gentleman server, but also he suggested a great wine for or dinner. He was superb. The gal that served us drinks was so sweet and friendly! The view was beautiful . We would love to see you all again read more

Ambrosia Rooftop Restaurant & Bar - Espresso Martini and Gin Fizz. Fresh ingredients. Simply perfect. - Italian Near Me - Rome, RM

This is long overdue as I was here last January for my birthday, but felt compelled to write a review now because I like the people there that much. The food was very good and deserves 4 plus by itself, but it was the people and service that put this place over the top. Everyone starting with the hostess to the main bartender and waiters were so nice and did everything to make my birthday special. We enjoyed our meal and the ambiance very much and I can only imagine how nice the rooftop bar is during warmer weather. I hope the same bar tender is there because we definitely plan on coming back to this hotel on our next trip to Italy! read more

We are staying at the hotel below, Hotel Artemide, which is a very nice hotel, so we also thought the rooftop restaurant would be nice too. We made a reservation for 3 at 8pm on a Monday night. The restaurant was about half full. They sat us a a table seated for 5 people- 2 chairs on either side and 1 one the end. My friend sat at the end and we sat sat in the middle opposite of each other. When our waitress came, she made my friend on the end move and said she would be blocking the table behind her if anyone was seated there. We were kind of annoyed because why have the chair there in the first place (all the tables had a chair on the end) and second, just ask her to move if the table is ever filled, which it was not. So we order water, a bottle of wine, and a daiquiri. The daiquiri was $10 and was a good balance of sweet and tart, the white wine was only $22, but it was very smooth! Nothing on the menu looked great. They only had a handful of pastas. One friend ordered the ravioli, I ordered the shrimp pasta, and my last friend ordered the chef's special fish bread salad. After we ordered, they brought the bread. It was very good! I really liked the bread stick and the brown bread! They did give us a refill on the bread, so feel free to ask for more. Our food cane out and none of us were ecstatic to eat it. The ravioli was weird. It was long almost like a tube, it wasn't like the individual kind you would think of. She said it was just ok. My shrimp pasta was terribly bland and the shrimp were so over cooked and rubbery. I've never had worse shrimp in my life! My friend who ordered the fish bread salad said she really liked her dish, but it was small and not filling at all. We were very disappointed and do not recommend this place! read more
