Sant Ambroeus Palm Beach

Absolutely Wonderful Experience! I had the pleasure of dining here recently and everything was simply perfect. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and beautifully set — the kind of place where you can truly relax and enjoy your time. But what really made the evening special was our waitress, Lucia. She was an absolute gem — friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. She made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down, offered excellent recommendations, and ensured that every part of our meal was just right. It’s rare to find someone so professional yet personable. She truly elevated our experience. The food? Outstanding. Every dish was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor — clearly made with care and passion. Between the amazing service, fantastic food, and lovely ambiance, I can confidently say this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Thank you, Lucia, for making it unforgettable!

It’s not often that you get what you pay for, but St Ambrose offers that. The atmosphere is wonderful. I feel as if I’m on the Italian Riviera as I sip my fabulous coffee and nibble on a delicious apricot croissant 🥐. My coffee and croissant cost around $14, which is great value. Dinner can cost between $36-$70 a meal. The staff are so helpful and friendly. I’m never disappointed here. They also have locations in Manhattan

A beautiful setting. I was excited to visit. A good range of food and beverages. Incredible decor and atmosphere. Prices are very high which is no problem, except that the service does not match. Basics such as sugar was not on the table and I had to get waiter's attention after coffee delivered. Meal then delivered: no salt and pepper. When I asked for this, he bought over a pepper grinder, quickly used it and left, I didn't even get a chance to say how much I would have liked. Very basic service expectations not catered for, so overall really disappointed in the offering. Wouldn't bother to visit again because of such poor service.

This is easily one of my favorite restaurants in Palm Beach—actually, it’s in my top 10 restaurants anywhere. Sant Ambroeus has never let me down. The food, service, and overall experience are always consistent, so I keep returning repeatedly. I’ve celebrated birthdays here multiple times and worked through most of the menu. My favorites are the pizzas (I don’t even usually like pizza!), the crab pasta, the pancakes, and the desserts. You can’t go wrong with anything on their menu—it’s that good. Sant Ambroeus is the best chain restaurant I’ve ever been to. If you’re in Palm Beach, this spot is a must. I’m already looking forward to trying their New York City location to see if it lives up to the same level of quality and service.

After dinner at Buccan, our friends suggested we head over to Sant Ambroeus for dessert and a change of scenery. We figured why not… and wow, this place did not disappoint. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was on point… super charming, elegant, and just had that rich, old-school Palm Beach feel. Even the wallpaper was branded… everything felt thought out and classy. We made our way to the dessert counter, and I asked the guy behind the bar what the best one was. He recommended the Gianduia, which is basically a hazelnut Nutella-type dessert and let me tell you, it was unreal. One of the best desserts we’ve ever had. No joke. Yeah, it was $19… but honestly, I’d go back just for that. Totally worth it. If you’re in the Palm Beach area and want a killer dessert spot with a great vibe, this is it.

A very classy Italian spot with a few beautiful locations. The Palm Beach one is perfect for a special occasion or date night under the stars in the Poinciana Plaza. We typically order the specials of the night, as there are always a wide variety of different tasty dishes to share, but you can’t go wrong with most of the menu. We never leave without ordering the Tartufa Pizza and truffle creamed corn. We also adore their bakery selection including the Princess cake as well as their Hazelnut & Chocolate. Definitely worth trying at least once! An experience I always look forward to.

An elegant warm interior welcomes you to an impeccable dining experience. We were celebrating a special occasion and had reservations. From the first moment of stepping in they acknowledged the event and showed interest. The GM also took time to stop by and check in. Often times when we make reservations and write a note about the occasion it goes unnoticed so this was a delightful surprise and a pro move. Dining room booths are comfortable offer privacy but you can see the whole room. I recommend going around 8pm as it gets lively starting then. Service was top notch and we are still talking about the food. Only small thing that was a miss was the main course was served while my companion was not at the table. However the lemon caper sauce that arrived alongside the grilled fish was divine, we almost did shots of it. The wine menu is extensive and we got to choose some wines we have never tried before - made the experience even more memorable. We will be going back. Go, eat, drink and be merry!

For our 22nd wedding anniversary, my husband and I wanted a truly special spot, and a friend recommended Saint Ambroeus in Palm Beach—what a fantastic choice! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The service was top-notch—thank you, David!—and the chef’s talent was evident in every single dish. Every bite was absolutely phenomenal, and the atmosphere was elegant, inviting, and full of charm. Saint Ambroeus made our anniversary unforgettable, and we are already planning our next visit!

One of the best gluten-free pastas I've ever had. 10/10 They make really great mocktails--the bar tenders know what they are doing. You are greeted with a bread bowl and olive oil. Latin and retro music plays throughout during the day. Flowers are swapped for the evening crowd. Beautiful decor. What I love most is actually the branding--beautiful designs in their to-go bags, and the boxes for ordering bakery items. Lovely illustrations and story--simply delightful. Gelato was very good. But the hazelnut cake takes the...cake. Best chocolate dessert ever.

Sant Ambroeus Palm Beach has such a charming, European vibe, elegant tableware, fresh flowers, and the most beautiful dessert display. The Gianduia cake was rich and heavenly, and my matcha latte was perfectly smooth. Service was kind and unhurried, making it a lovely place to relax and enjoy the moment. A bit on the sweet side, but still a delightful experience overall.

Really enjoyable experience from start to finish. The atmosphere strikes that perfect Palm Beach balance -- elegant but relaxed, with a lively buzz that makes it feel special without being stuffy. Service was warm and attentive without hovering, and everything moved at an easy, unhurried pace. The menu shows real attention to detail. Fresh seafood and pasta were definite highlights -- beautifully presented and full of flavor. Cocktails were well-crafted and complemented the meal nicely. If I'm being picky, a few small touches (like pacing between courses) could be smoothed out, but it didn't detract much from the evening overall

Has lunch outdoors on a Sunday. The outdoor area is very nice and has a nice fan so it doesn't get that hot. Service was prompt, not the friendliest, but prompt and respectful. Food here is pricey... but then again, prices expected for the area. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of everything. The chicken panini felt very fresh and well done without feeling heavy or greasy. Even the mountain of French fries wasn't as greasy as you'd expect. The pizza was extremely light. I loved that they didn't hold back on the prosciutto. However, because this has burrata and the dough is more of a pita bread than a traditional pizza, it gets quite mushy by the middle instead of being toasty all around. If they can get the middle part to be as crispy/toasty as the rest this would be golden. The fettuccine were cooked well and the ragú was special. Someone you'd ask bread to make sure you get every last bit of it. The hazelnut gelato was outstanding. Creamy, little chunks of hazelnuts here and there. Rich with the espresso over it. But the espresso with panna itself was amazing. This is really good espresso. The temperature, the flavor, everything. I'd go back just to have that espresso.

I came in just for the gelato! You can get it to go without needing to get a table inside their actual restaurant. Hands down the best Hazelnut and Pistachio gelato I've ever tasted! Both have real nuts mixed inside the gelato as well. Overall 10/10 recommend for these 2 flavors. The last time I had a true good hazelnut gelato was Italy and this place is definitely tasted just like in Italy.

This is a really beautiful spot for breakfast lunch and dinner, the atmosphere is beautiful, the service is great, and the food was superb. We need a place like this in LA...

I don't know how I have never reviewed this place when it is, hands down, my favorite place in the Palm Beach area. Be prepared to lay down some coin, but there is nothing on the menu that isn't delicious. My favorites include the cacio e pepe with fresh pasta, the watermelon salad, and whatever the chef's daily soup. Everything is always fresh and you can taste the quality of the ingredients. At our most recent visit, it was a yellow squash bisque with basil that was absolutely sublime. The service is 10/10 attentive, the restaurant is beautiful, and have I mentioned the food? For a quick stop, the gelato and baked goods are exceptional and always make me feel like I'm being especially decadent. Sant Ambroeus is always a "must stop" on any visit to the area.

Popular for a reason! We came for brunch, and everything was truly exquisite. The atmosphere is stunning--both indoors and outdoors--elegant yet inviting. The service was impeccable, and every dish we tried was delicious. I had the Centocolori salad, which was fresh and vibrant, while my boyfriend ordered an omelet--easily one of the best he's ever had. The drinks were just as impressive; he had the "Talk the Talk" cocktail, which was perfectly crafted with mezcal and gin. Make reservations in advance and dress well--this place has a chic vibe that's worth embracing. Can't wait to return!

The Principessa is probably the best cake I have had in the past few years in South Florida. I found out that they don't ship the cake, but it is possible to order a whole cake. The service is exceptional. The ambiance is busy since it is always popular with locals and non-locals.

I go here about once a month but really should go more like once a week. They have many different options for food and drinks and somehow it's all amazing. The coffee, mixed drinks, pasta, all fantastic. A nice and relaxing atmosphere with speedy and friendly service. This is a great place to have a business dinner or just a cup of coffee.

I love every thing about this place! The mood is a combination of sceney (love) and close-knit: while there seems to be great life all around, there is also a sense of familiarity between patron and staff. the service is top notch and quite personable. they really know the menu and recite the items beautifully! The drinks are made perfectly to order! The food: I had the Branzino which I enjoyed immensely! The ambiance is second to none and had such a great time: I didn't want the evening to end. I am grateful fir the experience and you will too.

This is one of my top 3 favorites in Palm Beach. Not too many restaurants are so outstanding for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as Sant Ambroeus. With the skilled and experienced guidance of the cok simpatik (Turkish for super nice) Adil Avunduk, your experience at Sant Ambroeus is guaranteed to be awesome!

Came here just for their hazelnut cake and it did not disappoint! Healthy serving and oh so delicious!!! Smooth, creamy and not too sweet.

I've been here multiple times and it's always good. The service is top notch. The staff is friendly and attentive. The croissant with the cream in the middle is so good. The omelet was amazing and was soft and fluffy. I was able to get a seat at the bar. There is indoor and outdoor seating. There is free parking if you find a spot. If not there is valetn

Beautiful restaurant in Royal Poinciana shopping center. Staff was very attentive and friendly. It was very busy that evening and the manager found us a quaint corner table almost immediately. Ambience was very romantic with the perfect yellow lighting. I ordered the salmon and my date ordered the lobster pasta. Both were amazing but the star of the show was the hazelnut cake! Our server recommended it and it was decadent!

Lovely, low-key, excellent restaurant. It's a weird place. Food is really good, you will leave happy, but you're not going to say "omg that was amazing". It's just super high quality and well presented. The service is totally on point. The whole place is unpretentious. If you have F.U. money, this is a lovely place for dinner or a date. Super nice. BUT...at about $125 pp (that's without any alcohol at all) I want to walk out wowed. I've been here several times and I'll probably be back. I have never left here unhappy but at that price point I feel like there are better options.

Sophisticated, beautiful, charming restaurant, food was fresh and made with quality ingredients , servers were kind and had great suggestions. Must try the princess cake

Beautiful high-end bakery, which also has a bar we had great service from our waitress and there's also a restaurant in the back with an extensive menu, something for everyone

Lived up to the great complements about the restaurant. Ambiance was gorgeous and perfect. We started dinner off with the Tuna Tartar which was great 8/10. We also had the Brussel sprouts which were great they sliced and sautéed them adding almonds and golden raisins 7/10. I had the crab pasta, which was linguine and a garlic butter sauce topped with crab and peppers. It was 10/10 best pasta I've had in a long time. I enjoyed it. My Husband had the spaghetti Bolognese which was delicious as well. We ended our evening with the Famous Princess cake which was a gorgeous almond flavored cake 10/10. Had a great evening and the server and managers were so great to us. Enjoyed every second of the experience.

We have been dining at Sant Ambroseus for years love the area and their menu .We are well aware of the prices it is Palm Beach as you know. The service is great. We've always had a wonderful meal but my very favorite meal is their Veal Bolognese, It is amazing up until the last time we went they must have changed the recipe of some sort or chef or someone else took over making that sauce and it certainly is not the same. I hope they take this review and rectify this. It was a few months ago, not recently, but it was like a red sauce out of a jar. I've never had a Bolognese at this beautiful restaurant that tasted like this. I have to say the pistachio gelato is the best we've ever had. It doesn't even beat Italy. Sometimes we just go there for dessert because it's wonderful.. We will return one more time and hopefully they'll go back to the original veal Bolognese..

Stepping into Sant Ambroeus feels like teleporting straight to Milan -- with better weather. The pizza is next-level -- thin, crisp, and bursting with flavor. Easily one of the best in Palm Beach. The pastas are elegant and unique -- not your usual suspects, but everything is fresh and deeply satisfying. Wine list? Impressive. Desserts? Dangerous. Save room for the gelato or the millefoglie -- or both, no regrets. It's polished without being stuffy, and the service makes you feel like a regular, even on your first visit. Definitely a splurge, but every bit of it feels worth it.

This is such a gorgeous little spot in West Palm! The service was fantastic from start to finish, the hostess was friendly and our waitress was super attentive. I had a great breakfast but sadly, not all dishes were amazing. My fiancé and I both started off with our typical lattes, mine was iced as per usual. We then had the breakfast pastry basket which was delicious, we were brought a blueberry scone, pistachio crème, chocolate croissant and a variety of jams and butter. For our main dishes we had the San Daniele panini and the Crostino Milanese. The San Daniele panini was not best, I would probably try a different dish next time but overall it was a lovely breakfast.

Disappointed by the Pricing I was really surprised to see a salad priced at $35 -- that's unusually high, even for upscale restaurants. I've dined at many places and have never come across a price like that for a salad. Unfortunately, it didn't feel justified by the portion or ingredients. Hoping the pricing becomes more reasonable in the future.

For our 22nd wedding anniversary, my husband and I wanted a truly special spot, and a friend recommended Saint Ambroeus in Palm Beach--what a fantastic choice! From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. The service was top-notch--thank you, David!--and the chef's talent was evident in every single dish. Every bite was absolutely phenomenal, and the atmosphere was elegant, inviting, and full of charm. Saint Ambroeus made our anniversary unforgettable, and we are already planning our next visit!

*not sponsored. so you know this is a real review...first, id like to say I've never tasted such an awful plate of pasta in in my entire life. The appetizer was too crunchy and not even tasteful. the bolognese is AWFUL. wanted to throw up. Tasted like it was completely watered down and 0 taste. No seasoning, no taste- just utterly disgusting. I also had an awful date because of how bad this restaurant was. He got mad at me for my reaction towards the pasta and I got upset because I know there's 10x better restaurants aside from this one and I was still taken here. Just an awful restaurant. The only thing semi-good was the service. They are all lovely; but not understanding why people work somewhere where the food is just awful. This restaurant definitely pays people to review it 5 stars- people with real taste would understand this food is a disgrace towards Italian food and would never rate a restaurant 5 stars when it's meant to have 1. I would've never expected Palm Beach to even allow such a thing. Honestly, I encourage as many people to go & taste it themselves to be utterly surprised with how bad of a restaurant this is.

Excellent food and service. Love the sunflower seed bread, and the chocolate mousse cake is out of this world! Always a most pleasant experience.

Good, if not great, Italian restaurant in Palm Beach. Another NYC outpost--BTW, I've noticed almost all the outpost restaurants here in SoFla are more expensive than at their original locations in NYC. (It's not just a "Palm Beach thing"). A bowl of pasta, glass of wine, and dessert came to $100 with tip. (Margherita pizza runs $31). The fettuccine bolognese was pretty good and a healthy serving, ditto for the ricotta cheesecake. Not going to lie and tell you it was fantastic or the best I've had but it was acceptable/good (and a bit pricey; guess customers are paying for the decor). I happened to be in the area and decided to give the restaurant a shot but wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to return. For the same money/slightly less I much prefer a different NYC outpost: MAMO. Good ambiance with indoor and outdoor/patio seating available. Nice service.

As a Palm Beach local, it's rare to find a restaurant that not only delivers exceptional food but also makes you feel truly welcomed--and Sant Ambroeus nails both. From start to finish, the service was outstanding. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely gracious, and the manager went out of their way to make us feel like valued guests. Unlike some other well-known spots on the island (looking at you, Lola and Buccan), Sant Ambroeus actually treats locals like repeat customers, not just another reservation. The pastas were fantastic--fresh, perfectly al dente, and bursting with flavor. And the dessert? Absolute top tier. The kind of finish that makes you want to linger just a little longer. In a town where it often feels like hospitality is a dying thing, Sant Ambroeus stands out for getting it exactly right. It's elegant without being stuffy, and welcoming without pretense. We'll absolutely be back--and often.

Very good tortellini, steak, and caprese, albeit pricey. Ambiance and service were also nice. Had to take a star off for the dessert when they call it a Flourless Chocolate Cake but it's actually a gluten free almond flour chocolate cake; those things are not the same at all.

Amazing ambience, highly recommend this spot whether it's for a business dinner, a girls night, or even a romantic night with a date I found the service exceptional, and the food was fantastic. I suggest going with a group of people if you can because you can try several dishes. Everything from the appetizers to the pasta and the entrées/sides were delicious and I would go again in a heartbeat.

Service was great, ambiance very nice for sure. Food was excellent. Def obnoxiously priced (ie: personal super think pizza was $34) but all else pretty great.

Always Delicious St Ambroeus takes me back to milan. 100% QUALiTY . Service is always wonderful and it keeps getting better they pay such close attention to gluten free requests i was blown away they even made me fresh GF bread and went above and beyond to accommodate our family of 6.

I am so grateful and appreciative for the service and accommodation we received last night! We were invited for a couples outing with friends I haven't seen in some time. I happen to be in a bodybuilding prep at the moment but didn't want to miss the opportunity to see our friends. Balancing my fitness goals and friendships is another challenge in itself. I don't expect a restaurant to be accommodating so I will typically eat my meal beforehand. Phillip, our server asked the table if we had any dietary restrictions. I was still planning to order just sparkling water. When everyone was done ordering I asked him if it would be possible to get a side of asparagus with no oil or butter ( a dish they have on the menu but doesn't clarify preparation.) My friend chimes in that I'm prepping for a show and Phillip excitedly wanted to know what the kitchen could do to accommodate me. He came back twice to clarify and brought a nice plate of fresh asparagus steamed to perfection. The feeling of gratitude I have for getting to enjoy a plate of food with my husband and friends during prep is unexplainable. My husband ordered a swordfish steak special, my friends had the ossobuco and skirt steak. Everyone's meal was perfection! Thank you so much Phillip and Sant Ambroeus for exceeding my expectations! I will absolutely return for a celebratory "real" meal after my competition

You must go! A can't miss beautiful restaurant to brighten your day or vacation. You can make a day of it and shop in the lively outdoor plaza. We went for lunch. It's a fancy place but there is outdoor and cafe/bar-seating in addition to the stunning dining room. Highly recommend the lunch salads with the addition of a protein. My salmon was perfectly cooked. The bread is amazing. Dessert is also a must. The cakes are beautiful. I tried the lemon cake with marzipan and thought it was perfect. They also have the best cookies. Expensive but so is everything in the area.

Amazing service and food - our server was Italian and very attentive but the lady who was supposed to fill our water was very unpleasant- did not smile once during a long meal and would not refill the olive oil which was kind server did Bread 5/5 Cacio epepe 4/5 Truffle pizza 5/5 Hazelnut dessert 5/5 Spinach ravioli 3.5/5

If you want to go the dreamiest Palm Beach outdoor luxury shopping mall with nothing but the best selection of stores and restaurant's I highly recommend you visit The Royal Poinciana Plaza and eat at Sant Ambroeus. The restaurant ambiance is family and pet friendly. The service is average due to the busy fast pace of the place. Due to the south Florida heat we chose to sit inside. The outside seating area is very happening. The food was great! We had 3 pizzas, the salmon and the lobster roll. Lightest dish was the salmon. Pizzas are all pretty decadent, including the margarita. Worst decision was the lobster roll. We could have had 2 pasta dishes for the price of the lobster roll that really disappointed. Highly recommend this restaurant and the plaza for yummy bites, outdoor ambience and fun fashion.

Always a 10/10. I love it here day or night. The bolognese is one of my favorites, the beet salad is delicious, and even if you're just like a great place to sit and have a coffee and a pastry, this is your spot. Absolutely never disappoints.

Ok, it seems odd that after a 3-star review I'd go back to a place five more times in the two months since my review, but a good friend is often there for breakfast or lunch and invites me at the last minute to join her at the bar -- on her. I'm upping my review because of the employees behind the bar who serve our drinks and food. Each one of them is very professional and great at her job. I can honestly say that Maro, Zuhre, and Olga are a delight and really know their stuff! You've really made me love the bar area, ladies! Thank you! Also, I tried the pignoli dessert and it's out of this world!

I come here for breakfast almost every weekend and get an iced cappuccino, it is the best iced cappuccino I've ever had. I had dinner here last weekend and it was absolutely delicious. Had to end it with a slice of the Principessa cake

After weathering a bad storm the day before, Palm Beach greeted us with blue-skies and the most incredible brunch here. Stepping foot inside made me feel like I was transported to Italy- the bakery case greeted me at the door with one pastry more stunning than the next. The food was amazing. The ambience was beautiful and service, impeccable- this is a can't miss restaurant if you're in the area.

This place was so awful don't waste your time or money. I had been to this place a few years back and it has gone down hill significantly. Not sure what happened to them.

Quite the excellent restaurant if you want to New York vibes with the beautiful Florida weather. I didn't want to make reservations and wait in line, so I ordered food to go. I have to say, service was efficient and I'm quite impressed at the quality, even for a to go order. The Minted Peas on Toast with Poached Eggs was a good balance of richness yet still light enough where you won't get overwhelmed. The Conchiglie alla Aragosta was excellent as a pasta dish. The pasta was cooked to Al dente and the lobster meat was not over cooked. The light lemon and white wine butter sauce totally lifted the pasta's flavor. I really enjoyed my meal here. Yes, it's on the pricey side. But if you're in the area and on vacation, I think it's a worthy place to try :)

Best espresso you'll ever have! Sit outside and enjoy the breeze. Nestled in between luxury shops, Hermes and YSL. Our server tago was an absolute delight- great service. Desserts are light and delicious! Highly recommend the white chocolate cake.

great restaurants great food and service,the best restaurant in west palm beach... anyone who are looking for great place to eat sant ambroeus is the one and felice

terrible decision to come here... very bad customer services and the food is horrible .

We were lucky enough when we went for lunch we got a table right away! The service was on the slower side, but the espresso martinis made up for it. Definitely would say one of the top espresso martinis I have had. We also had the watermelon feta salad which was also to die for. Great atmosphere for a girls lunch!

I really enjoyed this restaurant it's super cutesy and the pasta is delicious! It feels like you've stepped straight out of Palm Beach and into Italy. Great ambiance and attentive employees as well.

The ambiance is beautiful and it's a great location to do a little shopping afterwards-- Alice & Olivia, Love Shack Fancy, Stoney Clover Ln, Zimmerman, Jimmy Choo, YSL, and more just steps away. We were running 15 min late for our reservation- while they didn't answer the phone the 4X I called, they were extremely accommodating once we arrived. Coffees & teas were great as usual. My sister & I split the avocado toast w scrambled egg, we got a pancake for the table-- everything was delicious. The food did take longer than normal. But our yummy beverages, plus an aperol spritz, made it worth the wait.

Nice vibe and atmosphere. Service was friendly. Pasta dishes were very good. Bummed they did not have the principessa cake. Would return.
