Penn’s Culinary Gem: Ambrosia Ristorante 🍝✨

Been to Ambrosia Ristorante twice now — and I’m a big fan! 🍞 Complimentary bread — reminds me of focaccia, lightly herbed and so good! Not a fan of the dipping oil though — tastes too plain and oily. 🐙 Grilled octopus — was a bit tough and flavor-wise nothing special. 🥗 Salad — absolutely DELICIOUS! A must-order every time. Their house-made green dressing has a bright lemon fragrance and wonderful layers of flavor. Honestly, one of the best salads I’ve had, even compared to ones back in China! 🥇 🍝 Squid ink pasta — my favorite dish here! Loaded with crab meat, squid rings, and tomato sauce — combines all my favorite elements in one plate. A definite repeat order! 🦆 Duck breast — so tender and juicy! Served on a creamy pumpkin purée that’s rich but not heavy, with a touch of fig. Highly recommend! #RestaurantRecommendation #UniversityCityPhilly #PennEats #StudentFoodie #ItalianCuisine
