Ambasador Restaurant

Great service food average. We were told it was great food. I have better Itilian in Utica.

Hidden gem in Utica. Excellent food and service.

A wonderful night out. Great food and great service. Highly recommend it for your next dinner.

I love this place! Great workers, great food and an amazing ambiance to go out on a date. It's amazing how just 2 waiters get all the meals out on time especially when there is a crowd u dont have to wait longI love this place! Parking: Parking is eight5 in the yard. Big free parking lot. Kid-friendliness: They have kids high chairs available and it is very kid friendly. Wheelchair accessibility: They will make space upstairs for persons with wheelchairs.

Had the veal saltimbocca. The entree was excellent. This was accompanied by a small salad that was fine. The waiter Amel was great. Very nice and engaged in a bit of small talk with my party. Food was good. Service was great. Atmosphere "is what it is". The old school Italian joint with dim lighting isn't really my preference. Definitely a place for those 50+ y/o

The restaurant boasts both incredible food and a warm, welcoming Italian family atmosphere. The lobster ravioli surpassed all expectations, making it the most memorable ravioli experience I've ever had. Ambassador is an absolute must-visit in Utica.

Excellent food, great service!

Haven't been there for a while but wanted to give it another shot. They made some renovations. You still get that old Italian atmosphere inside. We started off excited end up disappointed. Food was OK ; good not great. Price for quality and quantity was expensive. I don't mind paying a high price but not for a salad that is a tiny layer of green leafs. I thought I was being punked. One olive, one small tomato. I thought okay maybe the meal is going to be so good they didn't want us to fill up on salad.(better off with no salad than three bites) the meal came I got the Haddock Alaska. Broiled fish in cream sauce with shrimp and scallops. It was a good taste but one shrimp and one scallop only. I understand cutting back or charging more but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a minimal amount of three scallops and three shrimp. My drink which was iced tea sweetened because they didn't have unsweetened was good except was not free refills and 80% full of ice. I had maybe 1 to 2 inches of $3 tea in an 8 inch glass. . My wifes food was ok but not great. When I got the bill I ended up paying with no alcoholic drinks for two $120 with tip. I expected $60. Then realized they nickled and dimed us. The meals were 25 each. We did get an appetizer but was charged 18 for an appetizer I expected at most 12. We each got two non alcoholic drinks $12. My wife asked for parmesan and oil with the bread they brought out and they charged us like $3. For it. I don't mind paying higher prices when fully disclosed. I'd rather somone tell me 50 a plate all in. But the hidden fees were disappointing. That's why I won't ever return and my readers will never go. 92 plus tax and tip around 120. For that price I could have ate at the casino or newer restaurant in the area that would never be disappointing.

Had a great time celebrating a birthday during the week here with my family. The food, service and atmosphere were excellent in this cozy Italian restaurant. All of our food was excellent from appetizers to entrées. The owner and staff were very flexible and helpful with allowing us to bring our own cake for dessert. We had a party of 8 and again everyone fully enjoyed the dinner party at the Ambasador. You should give this place a try if you haven't been yet.
