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!

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!

Another nice Italian restaurant in town near eastern suburbs. Average nice inner decorations - simple, nice and tidy. Services - waitress was slightly clumsy but has very very good manner. She apologises few times for her clumsiness. She is really friendly and helpful. Food and drinks served at a good pace. Food - serving here is really big. Even entree is like main for me. I would recommend one entree share between two. The gnocchi here is really good especially cook with sage and garlic with but butter brown sauce. Homemade gnocchi is fluffy, cook to perfection and fresh. The risotto is pretty good too, the seafood served are all very fresh and cook to perfection. Calamari not too Chewy, prawns and fishes are just nicely cook, not overcook. The highlight dish for the night is sautéed prawns with shallots, garlic and brandy finished with light saffron and fish veloute. It is absolutely delicious, very well seasoned - no fault dish! Drinks - quite a great selection of wine list. Staffs are good at recommending which wine to go with the dishes you order. Enjoy the night thoroughly. Love the food served here. Was too full to try dessert. I would definitely be back to this restaurant soon.

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. 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. The tables are a little small for four and there was a constant shuffle of glasses and plates. 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. 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. 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. In summary, the staff are professional, the decor appealing and the food good. Will be back soon.

A lovely evening. Gnocchi so delicate and fresh, rich and tasty tomato sauce. Veal cooked well with polenta, a great idea. Service good, perhaps a bit slow to start. Warm welcome and farewell. Will be coming back.
