Sant Ambroeus West Village

House-Made Pasta

Northern Italian preparations executed with care — silky textures and restrained, butter-forward sauces that feel authentically Milanese rather than Americanized

Pastries and Cornetti

The pastry case channels the original Milan café — buttery cornetti and delicate sweets that pair perfectly with a proper Italian espresso

Risotto

A Milanese staple done with classical technique — properly al dente, rich with butter and Parmigiano, and deeply comforting

Vitello Tonnato

Thinly sliced veal blanketed in a creamy tuna-caper sauce — a classic Piemontese antipasto that Sant Ambroeus does with quiet confidence

Espresso and Cappuccino

Among the better Italian-style espresso in the city — short, intense, and served with the kind of seriousness the Milanese bring to their coffee culture

Brunch Eggs Dishes

Weekend brunch offerings are crowd-pleasing and well-executed, drawing a loyal local following who treat this as their neighborhood ritual

Aperol Spritz and Italian Cocktails

The bar program leans into classic Italian aperitivo culture — light, bitter, and perfectly suited to the leisurely pace of the room

Tiramisu

A classic rendition — not reinvented, not deconstructed, just properly made with good mascarpone and a confident espresso soak
