"Ambrosi offers a delightful Italian dining experience in a unique historic setting. Located within Zurich's old aqueducts, the restaurant's beautiful exposed brick walls create a warm, atmospheric ambiance. Our group of eight was comfortably seated upstairs, which provided a lovely vantage point to take in the restaurant's charming interior. The pasta dishes were outstanding, demonstrating authentic Italian flavors and preparation. While the wine list isn't extensive, it's thoughtfully curated to suit various preferences and complements the menu perfectly. The space handled our larger group with ease, making it an excellent choice for both intimate dinners and group gatherings. The combination of historic architecture, quality Italian cuisine, and welcoming atmosphere makes Ambrosi a standout dining destination in Zurich."

"We stumbled upon Ambrosi at the viadukt shopping area and honesty we were impressed with the experience. I loved their homemade pasta, drink selection, and dessert. Pricing was very reasonable as well! Lastly, the ambiance of Ambrosi is very nice and utilizes the structure of the viadukt in a cool way that provides a very cozy interior."

"My family and I have been traveling through Switzerland, exploring various cities and restaurants, and this has hands down been the best dining experience so far. The brunch was absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh. The homemade pasta was even better than what we had in Milan just a few days ago! I can’t recommend this place enough — as you can see from my photo, I wiped my plate clean."

"The food is okay, the price is however cheap, compared to others. It's just not as tasty as some other 5 star restaurants, nothing wrong still very worth going!"
