Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Visited Ambrosini for the first time and it certainly won't be the last. fantastic food, they handled my serious allergy to garlic brilliantly, no fuss just worked through what I would like and adapted it.
Staff superb, many thanks to Paul.

Cannot speak highly enough of this long established restaurant. Every time you visit the food is amazing, the service so professional and often that little extra touch thrown in. Great for a special occasion.

A beautiful consistent family restaurant that has been a favourite for my husband and myself over the past 30 years.
The menu rarely changes and offers a great selection of classic italian food.
One walks in happy - greeted by Paul, Rem and Amanda and walks out even happier.
Atmosphere warm and friendly, and whatever I order - Matt cooks to perfection.
The BEST zabaglione ever.

I have been to Ambrosini's a few times now, but not enough.
Last night we went there for.a special occasion and, as usual, just loved the place. From the venue, the location, the family(who have owned Ambosini's for over 30 years) and of course the food, this restaurant is just faultless.
The service from all of the family makes you feel just that. Family.
The food is my favourite Italian in Adelaide. The decor and ambience is just wonderful.
As can be imagined, we fully endorse Ambrosin's and suggest it is "top of list" for others, locals and those from far away.
Well done to all there. A truly terrific experience.

Ambrosini's is a restaurant that has been consistently good for many years but often forgotten about.
We dined with friends and none of the good old fashioned professional service and delicious Italian food has changed.
Good to know some things continue to be good.

Fabulous dinner. A set menu as a booking for 15 but able to choose from 3 off the main menu. Antipasto to start and could buy dessert and tea or coffee. Service brilliant as was the meal. I personally had the duck DELICIOUS! We were there until late and they didn't push us out. Brilliant evening. Thanks

We don’t live close to Glenelg and so don’t come to the eastern suburbs a lot. My daughter and I were shopping locally for tiles today and stopped at this family restaurant for lunch. The cauliflower and truffle risotto was the best I’ve ever had and my daughter enjoyed the gnocchi. It was truly delicious with a reasonably priced wine list. Looking for excuses to come across town to enjoy again.

Being a Friday night so close to Christmas, the restaurant was fully and lively. Service was friendly and prompt. We orders 2 plates of spagetti marina to share as entree. It was very tasty. The veal scallopini was the best I have tasted in a long time. Definitely will return.

The service was perfect. The food was exquisite. They made the night perfect. I can't think of a better night out to dinner in quite some time.

I have been eating at Ambrosini for longer than I like to recall
It is a class act
Italian cuisine par excellence
No wonder it is always full
Of locals and regulars
Paul Remo and Matthew and their staff are hard to beat
I don't intend trying
Long may it continue

Food and service were excellent! Paolo and staff made our little party feel most welcome and were very gracious when I spilled my red wine on the white tablecloth. Will go again and again!

Italian restaurant with lots of pasta and usual dishes. I had seafood pasta that was less than great. Spouse asked for vegetarian and was less than impressed with choices. Deserts however were fantastic
