Ambra, an Italian restaurant in NYC’s West Village, is receiving increased recognition as a reliable destination for couples, small groups, and private functions. Since opening in late 2023, the restaurant has built a steady following by focusing on consistent food preparation, professional service, and a low-key setting suited to various dining occasions.

The restaurant is led by Executive Chef John DeLucie, a longtime figure in New York’s hospitality scene. The kitchen offers a menu centered on traditional Italian techniques and seasonal ingredients. Dishes include handmade pasta such as paccheri cacio e pepe and pappardelle al ragu, along with wood-fired pizzas and a selection of regional antipasti. A focused bar program features Italian wines and classic cocktails.
