Ambrosini's - STEPNEY

Fantastic! Haven't been here for over 15 years and the food is still great highly recommend and will definitely be back and not leave it so long!<br/

First time trying out a lovely old Italian place. We thoroughly enjoyed the ragú penne, duck special with risotto and veal scalopini. Food came our super quick and fresh from the pan. Loved it!

Always a nice meal here. Great service and nice ambience. The menu hardly ever changes but it is all really tasty. The Veal with mushrooms is my favourite.

It has been a good week for my family so thought we would have a celebratory dinner. Asked where they wanted to go, Garnet picked Ambrosini's. We have not been there for a few years so I was particularly happy with the choice as I only have fond memories. <br/ <br/ Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by the staff and seated. The decor has barely changed over the years but there actually is no reason to change as it is very appealing and very well maintained. <br/ <br/ The tables are a little small for four and there was a constant shuffle of glasses and plates. <br/ <br/ For my entree I had gnocchi and it was great, an absolute must have item for those with a healthy appetite as the serving is generous. The gnocchi them selves are beautifully cooked and the sauce is very tasty and well balanced. <br/ <br/ I followed this with veal and mushrooms (has a much more impressive name on the menu). The veal was extremely tender and well prepared, the mushrooms were also full of flavour but the sauce was a little bland. The main course is served with a bowl of vegetables to share. The rest of the family enjoyed their meals as well. <br/ <br/ Desert was the creme brûlée with gelato. A nice desert but the gelato was grainy (Michele's desert had the same issue). The others had the brandy snap baskets and they looked good and apparently were delicious. <br/ <br/ In summary, the staff are professional, the decor appealing and the food good. Will be back soon.

Delicioso. Just left Ambrosini 's after a fantastic lunch with my colleagues. The service was excellent from my initial call to ask about availability, right through to pre-ordering our meals, and finally indulging in their delicious dishes. They were more than happy to accommodate us spot on opening time, due to our limited lunch window. <br/ <br/ <br/ Between the six of us, we had 1 x 'Pasta Tradizionale spaghetti with a ‘Napoletana’ sauce '; 3 x 'Gamberoni al Zafferano Sauteed king prawns with shallots, garlic brandy, finished in a light saffron fish veloute ', and 2 x 'Gnocchi Burro e Salvia A rustic dish of homemade potato gnocchi with sage garlic toasted in a nut brown butter '. These were also served with complimentary vegetables for the table to share. I don 't often have room for dessert, however couldn 't resist a 'Mousse al cioccolato e Frangelico Dark chocolate and Frangelico mousse with berry compote '. The entrée gnocchi was more than enough to satisfy my appetite, especially as I was eagerly awaiting the mousse to complete the experience. Others opted for 'Budino al Caramello Creme caramel accompanied with a lemon scented vanilla gelato ', and 'Fragole nel Cestino A brandy snap basket filled with liqueured strawberries topped with a chilled Kahlua zabaglione cream '. <br/ <br/ <br/ We all agreed that it was a top choice, and certainly the most upmarket in the vicinity of our office.
