You can find many places with good food in NYC…and in soho but combining it with the feeling the staff make you feel so welcome is hard to create …. So happy to have big hug and welcome from Moe every time I come and his way and making me feel at home..If your looking for a place to make you feel the at home woth a great vibe that’s your spot…

A huge thank you to Remy,For accommodating and making this day so special… been wanting to have my friend bday celebrated and this was perfect… nice desert with candle and best vibes.Love this place the best energy always great food and never disappoints!

Had a beautiful amazing breakfast at SA soho, Irina was so gracious and lovely for accommodating us as walk in without a wait . The place is cozy and beautiful, the attention to detail is great! Avocado toast was tasty and the coffee was perfection! Will be back

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.

As pretty as can be, Sant Ambroeus was a delightful experience.This Soho Italian spot came highly recommended so we knew it was a must try while we were in NYC. Everything is perfect. You can expect nothing but delicious, high quality, well prepared dishes. They have a beautiful cocktail list and a very nice selection of wines by the glass. The ambiance is inviting and the service was very professional and on point.We came here around 4:30pm for a few drinks and appetizers on the patio before our dinner at Carbone. We wished we could have enjoyed more of their menu items, but we will surely return. We did notice that its one of the best places to people watch in the city.I should also point out that the coffee shop looked amazing, the coffees and ice creams that people were coming out with were picture perfect.Items ordered:- Prosciutto e Burrata (the best Ive ever had)- Melanzane alla Parmigiana (incredible)

The service was mediocre, but the lamb chops were some of the best Ive ever had. The balance of the dishes my wife and I ordered were fair. Nothing to get excited about.They have booths on the sidewalk that are separated by plexiglass to ensure everyone is physically distanced.This is a nice spot to go for a casual meal with friends or family, but I would not say it is one of the upper echelon restaurants in Manhattan. If you are looking for a decent Italian meal and not looking for anything special than this place is for you.

Beautiful interior, great food and usually impeccable service. Love coming here for a late lunch when it’s quiet.

We go to restaurants every week. Pandemic has killed some restaurants with food quality and even more important service. We went here last week and I can say without a doubt that this place is fantastic and best meal we have had since pre endemic. To me even more important was the service from the bartender to the waiters and waitresses and to the people bussing the tables.By far in NYC this is the best service we have had in years. their manager Jay Pablador obviously he must be in the restaurant biz for a while because he runs the place like a swiss watch and everyone is on point. 5 stars isnt enough for this place. I actually feel bad leaving only 5 stars

Love the food. Feels safe for post-pandemic.

Always and simply the best cafe experience.Their prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich is heavenly.The coffee lattes without sugar is still divine.And their selection of cookies are also delectable.All in all, worth the money, And definitely my favorite cafe.Oh and their cakes and desserts are on a whole other level!Definitely a treat yourself type of place!

Sant Ambroeus SoHo has always been my favorite restaurant in all of NYC. Moe, Jay and Remy are amazing in running the space and treat every customer as family. Food and deserts are amazing; personal favs are lamb chops, spicy arrabiata pasta and tiramisu to finish off. Beautiful ambiance and location.

Meal was very good and well executed! I will say it is a pricier restaurant and portions arent big, I was still kinda hungry. They have cute individual sections on the patio and the staff were very friendly!

Nice employeesGood dessert

Amaaazing waiters and the food and drinks were all SOOO good. Loved it !!

I hate to write this because the host was so kind and the service was excellent- maybe better than any other location. However I have to say I was thoroughly saddened and disappointed by the food. Received our meal very very quickly which was a bit of a red flag. I got pancakes and it was essentially one big overcooked cake that seemed like it came out a pack of 10 and was put on the grill. Very stale and completely tasteless. My friend got an omelette that was soggy/ wet and over cooked. We were hoping for a nice indulgent brunch to celebrate something but were met with a continental breakfast with a high price tag. If you’re looking to treat yourself to a nice brunch, I would tread carefully….maybe lunch or dinner is better but beware of anything on brunch or breakfast menu… :(

Very accommodating, very attentive,, and very friendly staff. They pay attention to the details

Great place, great food, great staff.

Everything is getting worse. Service wasn’t good, pasta was undercooked in an enormous amount of oil. The sauce was definitely not freshly made.Burned coffee and stale pastries. Dont recommend it.

Absolutely incredible atmosphere, even better food. We had the prosciutto and burrata and would have stuffed our pockets full of another order if we could travel with it. Mo was an incredible host, connecting us with a gentleman who was also from the Detroit area, it made for a home-y experience in what is a jungle of a city. Short wait times, excellent wine and dessert menu and the chef knows what good al dente means. 10/10 would recommend.

Was here with my fiancee and friends and I felt bad because we had to reschedule one time and we wanted to sit outside. We got there early and the bar wasnt crowded yet so we felt comfortable at the bar and the place inside has very cool vibe. When our friends got to the bar they didnt rush us to our table. Ive worked in the restaurant industry at the highest of the high end restaurants ( windows on the world ) and Im tough to completely please but this place was a godsend for service and food. I had seen reviews of the food thats why we came but the service was beyond expectations. Thanks Jay and staff for making our night wonderful !! BTW this place is definitely a hot spot because there was an actress or model at the bar that some people came up to get selfies with and she was totally nice to people and told the staff it was fine that she was cool doing it. Just a great place and omg the food is delish !!!

Good cafe, very Italy like and they have really good gelato. Ordered mango with orange confiti and was well worth it

One of my FAVORITE places in the city! The atmosphere is great here (either super calm and quiet or incredibly live and bustling), and everyone is quite kind. The food is really good, and they have one of the best gluten free pastas in the city. The coffee and hot chocolate, however, are the real stars. So, so, so good. At least stop in for a coffee if youre in the neighborhood.

Fancy Italian. Great wine list. Really great staff!!!

You aren’t coming here for food, you are coming to sit on the patio and people watch. For that it’s great and at a perfect spot.

Yum, try their gluten-free pasta its bomb. Service is great and ambiance is very inviting.100% would come back.

Great great cacio e pepe, good service and vibe

Feels a little pretentious, but the food was excellent and the staff were great. Linguini with clams was the best Ive had in a while, so it gets five stars from me.

Fantastic every time! The quality of the food is the best and the staff so very kind. We love it there for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Plus the interior is super stylish and comfortable. Nice to sit outside too!

You can expect delicious, well prepared food at St. Ambroeus. The cocktails are excellent and desserts delicious. Slightly pricey but good food and service come at a price.

After dinner we decided to take a walk and have coffee . We came across Sant Ambroeus purely by chance Its located on Lafayette street in Soho and is combination of two outlets One is a restaurant and the other is a Gelatria / Cafe . We elected to sit outside I ordered my usual Americano while my wife ordered a Tiramisu dessert. The service was excellent although they were quite busy . My wife loved the Tirimsu dessert so much, she bought extra to take back to the hotel. The cafe also has some excellent vegan options, only to find out on our return trip to Sant Ambroeus. They are the only outlet so far to offer #Vegan Croissants . Great service and choice of desserts Coffe and Tea options. Sant Ambroeus have a few more branches but the dedicated Gelatria alongside the main restaurant is only available on Lafayette in Soho

Perfect service, super kitchen and very nice atmosphere! Thank you Marco and team for a brilliant job!

Had really nice experience, the gentleman was really nice with us I guess he is the manager

Good atmosphere and good customer base

Friendly and handsome staff, but the girl in the front (hostess?) was weird. She met us, asked how were we, and continued to stand still. It was uncomfortable and funny. After the minute of silence we asked for a table for two.Entrees were really good, but serving is so simple and boring, looks like my grandmother did it.But dessert was fantastically delicious!Prices are medium.Not touristic place, but crowded.Design of this place is full of dissapiontment. Outside it looks like typical cafe. Old style is not comfortable and pretty. Seating on the dirty, lumpy, crannied couch was inconvenient . Plastic flowers? With such prices its should not be a problem to put natural flowers or even in pots.

I was kind of expecting a pretentious village-y, soho-y place but was very wrong. Service was great and so was the food. Great lunch spot with a good menu, some very nice cookies and dessert.

Great COFFEE & Gelato game 🤩🤩🤩Utku is an asset to this establishment as his hospitality GAME IS 🔥 🙌🏻

This place is awesome, Wonderful atmosphere and a gorgeous bar. They produce their own prosecco and it is wonderful. I would love to have dinner here at some point. Also authentic Italian approved.

Best freaking gelato in NYC. Tastes like Italy.

First off I would like to begin by saying Yoann made our night one of a kind. He is spectacular and words cannot do justice. The service we received was perfect. The meal was delicious and flavorful, even the gluten free pasta was super. The desert was immaculate. I have no idea what it was called but it was recommended by Yoann and let me say, that hazelnut delight was top notch. The atmosphere was sumptuous as expected with Sant Ambrose. I have been here a couple times but tonight was perfect. Jay was also extremely kind and accommodating and we are very thankful for him!-Donia

Food is delicious!! Cappuccino & desserts were amazing! But i do agree with another review i read that said and i quote: “Egos run extra large here” imposible not to notice ☺️but enjoy the food! Because that’s why you’re there!

Pleasant wait staff and gorgeous interior!Ive been multiple times, and Ive never really been impressed with the food enough to warrant the prices.

Good Pasta just wished their air conditioner would have been colder (was sweating while eating)

Appreciated the ability to get a table outside in one of the covid cubbies. Service was really good and the food was good but pricey.

Was a pleasant surprise to walk in here and enjoy the top notch omelet and latte. Moreover the atmosphere and service was beautiful!

Very nice! Went for late lunch the food was great!

I love your local foods so much, and I go out to dinner more often since I found your restaurant. Thank you for the best experience! I will surely visit your restaurant again. Thank you as always.

Delicious brunch! I loved the eggs Benedict.

I really used to love eating here. Since last summer, the quality of the food at the Soho location has greatly declined. Im not sure if its related to the change in management but you can tell theyre trying to cut corners.

Great little spot, easy access with good seating inside and out. Attentive staff, delicious pasta..

Benny is a outstanding bar tender, makes a great whiskey hot chocolate, (best breakfast) the entire team is really good,

I came here on a trusted recommendation. I still trust the person, but I found the experience a little disappointing. The espresso was less than excellent for the price (not juicy or rich). The service was also underwhelming. I felt like a curiosity to the staff rather than a welcome guest. I might try them again, but not anytime soon.

Solid Italian- chic and a nice vibe

Food is okay, dessert excellent.Management have to learn how to behave..not professional at all.Romantic atmosphere and very good service.

Love the service, food and general atmosphere, maybe the best pasta I have had in New York

This was the most mediocre meal we had in New York City! To my disappointment, one of the shrimps wasnt deveined. We came for the dinner service and all of the shrimps were rubbery. There was too much garlic as well. The sauce was good, we actually liked the bread served with the marinara sauce. However, the drink had just too much grapefruit and was way too sour, so much that I and my husband both of us combined couldnt take three sips down the throat. Our server was great and explained everything well. The food and the drink just didnt deliver to the expectations!

Good food, great service ! Funny waitress but, please get a reservation in advance as this place is very popular for brunch !!!

The food was pretty bland. And the bread they served alongside it was cold. The lemonade was way too tart and not sweet enough. The portion sizes are so small and they dont taste that great so Im not sure if its worth it.

Interior is beautiful and the staff treats you as they would in Europe. The food is amazing and the cocktails are divine - get the Naviglio Spritz!

I don’t comment a lot but the food was extremely sub par for the price the pasta was extra Oily and the Bolognese had no favor . The server was nice but even he look disappointed in what he was passing out. My fiancé sent back her dish I hope they get things fix the manager didn’t even come to the table to apologize

Super warm and friendly staff. Theres nothing like going to an establishment and being greeted by everyone. Its a great place to go for brunch or dinner with your girls OR on a date. Portions were great. This is actually a place where youd leave pleasantly full. Theres a great wine selection to accompany everything on the menu. Both the food AND the staff gets 5 ☆! Ill definitely be going back.

Excellent potato and chickpea soup with a blt. So satisfying in a quiet outdoor room.

Great attention, delicious food ;)

Simply the best!

Yoann is the best :)

Great place, serves fantastic yogurt! I also ate the pancake but it wasnt so tasty so they agreed to refund me.

Mr Lee on the bar provides top service. Really good omelettes and espresso / macchiatos. Trendy crowd. Ill be back when next in NY.

Beautiful elegant place. The lamb chops and steak is one of the best in New York City. The service was outstanding with great music cant wait to go back

This is a really beautiful space with outstanding food. The coffee is brilliant and the pasta is fantastic. Enjoyed a long business lunch with attentive service and limited interruptions. There was no rush to move us out - we had a great experience. Will definitely be back.

Youll love the food here as much as I do. They do an excellect job with menu and the service is outstanding.

Great espresso martinis and good serviceDidn’t eat anything but based on observing other people’s tables, food looked great.Would absolutely come back for a meal!Cool decor (see photo)

My review is mixed. Read below. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The food is excellent. Pasta is fresh. Sauces are perfectly balanced, fresh and delicious. Wine list is big and varied.However, this is a somewhat old-fashioned Upper East side restaurant. The staff is very nice and very friendly as I said. The room is a bit stuffy. Lots of dark wood and soft surfaces. The clientele is stuffy as well.Five stars for the food and service. One star for the atmosphere unless it’s your vibe. I’ll be fair at four stars.

Nothing else compares. Saw Sir Paul there, beaming.Because why not?

It was unfair. We met with my friend in Manhattan and decided to take some coffee with the dessert in the middle of the walkway. We found a random nice cafe with outdoor service. And how was our frustration when the manager came and said we dont have enough reservation to be served here. The first time in my NYC life I felt not enough human. Sorry, but this is not NYC style.

Amazing place with nice option for wines

Best pasta in NYC

Good food great service.

Wonderful little spot. Beautifully decorated space, and very kind and inviting staff, especially the bartender and wait staff. The food is also very good and thoughtfully prepared. I’d definitely come back on a return trip to NYC as well as recommend to other.

Absolutely fabulous food and amazing organic Italian wine that was just delicious. Staff was really friendly and we felt right at ease.Great time and great food and drink. We will be back.

Great food.

Average food and service!!

Service was good. But a bit pretentious, overpriced, and the food not very good (perhaps we didnt order right) - not my type of my spot. The highlight of my meal was how quickly my water cup got filled and the complementary bread at the beginning. The panini bread was rock hard and sandwich overall was dry. Probably should have ordered the pasta.There are so many better places to eat in the area Im honestly upset at myself for choosing to eat here.

Once upon a time, when I was younger, my birthday cake would be Sant Ambroeus large size plum tart. The...tartness! The..sweetness! The...amazing crust!!! Thankfully, they still sell this unicorn of a dessert that to some, invokes thoughts of porcelain gods, but to me, is a different kind of heaven. Their tin of shortbread cookies are worth the splurge. Varied flavors, never dry. The $6 cappuccinos are also worth it despite the smaller cup size. Their machines are, I believe, flown in from Italy. So is the trainer who coaches the local staff on how to create the best milk foam thats touched these lips.Keep in mind that some of their downtown locations are physically smaller and have less selection than the main restaurant on Madison. Portion size is decent.Egos run extra large here. Sit down and wait to be seen. Wear your Cartier love bracelet or, if you cant afford one, stare at your neighbor whos wearing 3. Maybe a celebrity will stop by. Hey Jake G!

My favorite place in all west village.

Good food and service. Great outdoor ambience

Wow, love it.

Went there for late drinks. The cocktails were delicious and the bar tender (a woman) beyond nice. The atmosphere is really nice.

Love this place! We had an amazing service from our waiter, Georgi! Our meals were excellent and felt like we were in Italy. Had lovely time. We will be back.

Friendly, attentive staff, but rude maître d & mediocre food.

Omg this place. Never been treated like VIP at a restaurant where food is reasonably priced. Theres even a coat check and you get cute bags for your to-go food. I was treated like royalty and the food was delicious! Another thing is they fill up your water so often that it will never be half empty (or half full!)

Im shocked this place is as popular as it is. The ambiance and the decor are great, but the food is subpar. Nothing I ordered had any flavor and both the octopus and the chicken were overcooked. I felt as if I could have made a better meal in five minutes at home. Incredibly disappointing experience.

Top notch!

Classy italian aperitive and vibe

Excellent pasta (Ragu) enjoyed here. Chicken dish achieved high praise too. Good service, plenty of staff on duty when we were there. Comprehensive wine list or can enjoy by the glass.

Wonderful combination of brunch and Italian lunch food. Tight space but amiable staff and clientele

2pm reservation seated at 2:30. Staff wasn’t friendly about it either. Should have been extra nice. Food was good but way overpriced

Fabulous and excellent breakfast place! The atmosphere is great and design is so beautiful. The waiters were very friendly and recommended us the best dishes to try. Delicious food!!

Very good taste!

Waitress asked us to go because we ordered not enough meal, just coffee and desserts. Awful service!

This place is classic and the entrees are amazing

Italian place that gives you French atmosphere doesn’t really make sense..Beside that, food is okay, still would recommend another location West Village.Gentlemen in suit help us with finding the table but it took him so long and seemed confused, but hey this is “Nolita”...
