Sant Ambroeus Lafayette

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.

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!
