    Such a lucky find..... No quality restaurants in Blackpool, But found this gem by chance on the outskirts of Lytham St Anne's. Truly authentic Italian food. Nothing to fault.

    The staff were attentive, the food was lovely, portion sizes were generous and the prices were more than reasonable. All in all, a lovely meal.

    This is without doubt a total gem of a place (Italian) my wife and I shared a absolutely delicious starter and both our main meals were some of the best food we have had in a long long time. If you like proper Italian top notch food then give this place a try.... utterly fantastic

    I was recommended this place as being traditionally Italian fresh food. The linguine marinara was one of the best I’ve eaten, lasagne was perfect, tiramisu was delicious Very hard to find authentic home cook Italian dishes to this level. A must visit Service was great, team were so friendly and couldn’t do enough! Wished I lived nearby

    This was our second visit to this fine restaurant. We were over in the UK from the USA about 4 years ago and again this past week. The restaurant is very small about 7-8 tables, so would advise booking. They have 2 seatings, 530 for 6pm and 8 for 830pm. Their menu is extensive with lots of daily specials. We enjoyed the Sea bass, spicy Italian sausage pasta and the creamy chicken with smoked bacon served with vegetables and roasted potatoes. The tomato garlic bread and homemade tomato soup were all absolutely delicious. The service, quality and quantity of food was superb. Prices very reasonable. Only wish we had an Italian restaurant of this caliber on our doorstep. Can't wait to return

    Lovely, cosy atmosphere on arrival, not a huge restaurant but tables spaced well enough apart. The aromas were amazing as we walked in. We were greeted by friendly, professional staff and seated promptly. Great variety of starters, pastas, pizzas, fish, chicken & beef dishes. Excellent selection of meat free dishes and salads. We opted to share antipasti board followed by spaghetti with garlic & chilli with side of tomato and onion salad. Everything was delicious. Huge portions. Good selection of wines, beers and soft drinks. Very reasonably priced. Will definitely return on next visit to Blackpool. Wish I had found this place sooner. Under £45 for 2 people which included 2 large glasses of wine and 2 bottles schweppes lemonade.

    Absolutely gorgeous home cooked meals, we loved that we had to wait a very short time for the Risotto as it’s cooked fresh! The service was impeccable and they really made us and our toddler feel so welcome, chef even popped out to say hello - what a gem of a place! We’ll be back when we are next in the area!

    Everything was great, staff were lovely, food was amazing, restaurant looks amazing. The only reason for the 4 stars is they need to slow service down. We visited Saturday night and we were in and out in just over an hour, this included two starters, two mains and one dessert. It had taken the touch off it slightly. Definitely returning however, great work guys!

    Great little find this place, only a small and cosy place, accommodated for me my partner and child last minute when fully booked and thankfully got the chance to eat some very tasty food. Being a little fussy, everything we had was very good quality and cooked to perfection. Definitely recommend and if in town would return!

    Maybe an off night for the restaurant? Read the crazy good reviews on here and trip advisor, so decided to come out of Central Blackpool for a visit. Table booked for 8pm, but as it's a very small venue , we stood outside queuing with another 4 groups waiting ... problem is no one was acknowledging any of the customers waiting. In the end, one of the chefs came to the front of house to get us all seated and help the bedlam of people trying to leave and arrive. The restaurant is very small, this did cause a few searing issues with people asking to move about as they were a but snug on certain tables... but all in all no issue with the tables from myself but other customers didn't seem too pleased. It took and age for people to have their orders taken. When they did finally arrive 3 tables had issues. One didn't get the dish they asked for, one didn't get their half and half starter right and again one lady sent hers back as their order was also wrong. Bizarrely, the order issues of other customers continued into their mains and then the sweets. Luckily for me all my orders were spot on the only issue was it took over 2 hours from sitting down to getting out. Food was ok. Nice. .. I can't say I was blown away like the other reviews. Maybe they built it up a bit too much for me? All in all....... Cons * Cramped venue * Wrong orders taken and given * Had to always approach the staff. (Customers having to ask for a sweet menu or another drink for example) * Left outside waiting for 15 mins. * one customer had to eat on his own as his wife's order was completely wrong. * took a long time for food to be served. This was not the kitchen staffs issue, front of house was all over the place. Pros * Food was ok * portion sizes are good! *prices are good I think maybe it was a bad night for the place, caused by a new member of staff who was in training leaving a lot for the girl who was training him to do. We will come back again to give it another go and hopefully update this to a 5 star.

    The smallest gesture can lead to an unfolding of events. My girlfriend desperately needed a toilet. There didnt seem to be anywhere open or another toilet in close proximity. Then we saw Ambrosini's! Saying toilets only for customers I'd asked if i could buy a drink to go so she could nip to the loo. It was 13.00 and the air show was on in 15mins. I didnt want to miss the typhoon! The girl on the reception said we needn't to buy anything. This small gesture meant a lot to me personally. In fact i got a piccante garlic bread so we had a bite whilst watching the planes. The extra time waiting in the shop for the food gave me chance to observe how aesthetically pleasing the restraunt was, and how the staff treated more customers in the shop. The food more than matched the hospitality. One of the best garlic breads I've ever had and seen. Cant wait to call back in on our next visit to blackpool and have a full meal. See you next time Ambrosini's

    Wow! What an unexpected gem. We were visiting with three generations of family to see the illuminations and were looking for a place to eat which would keep everyone happy (not always easy!). This place turned out to be amazing. It looks fairly non-descript from outside but inside is a warm welcome, great service, and food that was way, way better then you would expect in a little Blackpool Italian restaurant. Highly recommend it but you'll need to book as it's only got a few tables. We'll be back next time we are in Blackpool.

    Visiting a relative on my trip from Australia who booked this gem of a restaurant for dinner. First class food and service. Top class Italian! The best! Thank you .

  • 5/5 Jason W. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly. Full of character. Excellent lasagne! It's small businesses like this that are threatened by the current energy prices and cost of living. Give them a visit if you can. It was my first visit and I'll be heading back when I can. Thanks Ambrosini's !

  • 5/5 Marj L. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a really perfect, small and intimate restaurant. You have to book. There are only two sittings each day. Lovely menu with specials on a board. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. The food is fresh and cooked to order. Slightly away from the seafront but we'll worth the walk. We highly recommend this place and will certainly be visiting again.

    I took my mother here for her 80th birthday as my brother had told me that it was very good and he wasn't wrong the meal was fantastic..The only thing that could have been better is the wine wasn't cold. Well done we will be back 🙂

  • 5/5 CHRIS G. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely incredible Italian. This is up there with the very best, anywhere. The best Arrabiata I've ever eaten. Superb portion sizes and wonderful staff. Probably my new favourite Italian restaurant. A MUST VISIT!!!!!

  • 5/5 Matt C. 11 months ago on Google
    Excellent. Probably best Italian in Lancashire. All food home made and fresh. Always delicious. Been going going for a long time and always fantastic. Definitely a must if you're visiting Blackpool!

  • 5/5 Benjamin m. 2 years ago on Google
    A small and quiet restraunt that serves fantastic food and portions for the price. The staff were lovely and you can see into the kitchen, so if you ever worry about where your food is prepared, don't. Well worth the short tram journey away from the main Blackpool scene. If we come back we will visit again.

  • 5/5 Stephen M. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Stacey F. 3 months ago on Google New
    Fantastic restaurant, really lovely place with great atmosphere. We booked for Saturday night before going to the panto and were in a bit of a rush, staff were great, came and took our order quickly. The food was amazing, freshly prepared and quick. We would have loved to stay for dessert and will definitely come back next time we are in Blackpool.
