" I had high expectations coming to Ambasador, given all the rave reviews. While the ambiance and service were lovely, the food just didn't meet my expectations. The flavors were somewhat bland compared to what I hoped for, especially for an Italian restaurant. I tried the salmon ambassador, and while it was decent, it lacked a distinctive flavor profile. Not sure if I'd come back again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, the service at this restaurant was top-notch. Each staff member really cared about our dining experience. The ambiance was wonderfully relaxed, perfect for a celebratory evening. I tried their signature dish, the veal ambassador, and it didn't disappoint! Rich flavors and perfectly cooked. I will definitely be returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" From start to finish, our meal was delightful! We ordered the Utica greens and lobster ravioli for appetizers, both excellently executed. The soothing ambiance and attentive service made our dining experience memorable. I appreciate that the owner made rounds checking on patrons, adding a personal touch. Can't wait to return for my birthday dinner! " (*Curated Review*)

" A hidden gem in the heart of the city! We enjoyed a lovely dinner on the patio. The ambiance was incredible; candlelit tables made for a wonderful evening. Our appetizer, the stuffed mushrooms, were delicious! I ordered the seafood special which was phenomenal. The only drawback was the somewhat high prices for the portions. However, the quality justified it for a treat like this. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful dinner with my partner. The atmosphere was romantic, and we particularly enjoyed the calamari as an appetizer. Our mains were both seafood dishes which were excellent! However, I felt the prices were a bit high, especially for the portion size. Overall, a lovely experience we'll have to repeat before the summer ends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to this restaurant based on a friend’s recommendation and was delighted with the atmosphere. It felt homey and welcoming. The dishes were authentic but the pasta seemed slightly overcooked. I believe fresh made pasta is important for the experience, which was disappointing. Service was attentive and friendly, yet it didn’t fully compensate for the food quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" A classic Italian restaurant that doesn't feel like a chain. The menu is diverse, and the dishes are prepared with great care. The staff acknowledges you right away, creating a warm welcome. My favorites are the homemade pastas and the classic tiramisu! Always satisfied after dining here. " (*Curated Review*)
