My wife had a crab ravioli with scallops, sun-dried tomatoes and a creamy champagne sauce and loved it. I had pappardelle with a short rib ragu which was one of the best of many pappadelle dishes I have had over the yearsThe preceding caprese salad was also quite good. The restaurant decor is very basic so do not go there for that but the food is delicious. We will definitely dine there again whenever we return to Camel. We had the added benefit of a young, friendly waiter who was born in Sicily. So in addition to the excellent service he provided, we were also able to chat briefly with him about places and experiences in Sicily.
About Ambiance Interiors
Ambiance Interiors is a great destination for those seeking a cozy dining experience. The atmosphere is bistro-like, comfortable, and quaint, with a romantic air, especially in the outdoor patio area where calm dogs are allowed to sit with their owners. The cuisine is authentic, featuring excellent homemade fresh pasta and delicious in-house made sauces. Guests have praised the food for being wonderful every time, noting the value for the price. The service is fun and exceptional, with attentive staff who provide excellent recommendations.
While some visitors have enjoyed the food, particularly the mussels appetizer and the black truffle branzino, others have experienced issues with noise levels, especially when seated near larger parties. One guest found the pear salad disappointing due to small pieces of pear and ripeness issues. Overall, Ambiance Interiors is a favorite among many, with the food being a highlight and many expressing a desire to return, especially for the amazing dishes that evoke the feeling of long, warm summer nights in Italy.
Reviews
We had a lovely evening here with great food and very attentive staff. I had the pollo limone and my husband had Lamb Ossobucco both which were excellent. The only recommendation I have is that their bread arrive to the table warm and thicker slices! A very small thing but it makes a difference. Overall I would recommend this restaurant!
The best! Love the staff food most especially and love Enzo himself- great guy very welcoming. But that carbonara and short rib- lasagna. The patio garden side seating, charming, ma mamma Mia, il vino Italiano! X
