Ambrogia Caffe’ & Enoteca

I booked dinner and a lunch here when my husband and I came for a long weekend. This is a small cafe ran buy a former oceanographer who decided to stay in Cape Charles. She was nice but they had only three people working so we're turning away people if they didn't have a reservation. I could tell she was burnt out from the summer and in need of a break. For the dinner, I got burrata and my husband ordered a fig an prosciutto special. The figs were raw with a slice of prosciutto put into each one. The burrata was as expected. We also got wine flights, which was nice. The owner's boyfriend was helping and came outside where we were sitting to explain the wine. For our entrees we got scallops, which were great but didn't come with a side, so it was just three scallops with the sauce on a plate. Just be aware the portions are small. My husband ordered a branding special, and again just fish on a plate with nothing else. The next day we came back for lunch and we each got a sandwich and we shared a bottle of white wine. I also got some hot Assam tea. This place has so much potential and they just need to staff up and consider what they should serve with the mains. My husband and I also ate at Hook at Harvey's and for the same price got a main with sides, a much better value.

Yum!Excellent service and a small, cozy place with warm and friendly staff.I remember eating here years ago (probably 5 or so now) and it must've been under other ownership. Now, it's upgraded inside and bright and friendly - with a constantly rotating small menu with local fresh ingredients. The owner herself waited on us and was attentive, friendly, and kind. She's clearly very proud of this business, and very hands on. The food was phenomenal. We started with fresh focaccia served with oil and vinegar. I chose the asparagus risotto while my husband went with the fresh fish which was flounder. The fish was SO good. I ate most of it, but I also loved the risotto. For dessert, we got a warm delicious French press and one of the two tiramisu flavors (my fav dessert ever) - I chose the chocolate pistachio and it was a large, and beautiful piece. We spoke to the owner for a bit before we left and she mentioned that she changes the menu weekly so it's never the same and it's always a fresh, new take on something. I love that. A+ meal and wonderful service.

I ate here two nights two years ago and have never forgotten it. Two of the best meals I've ever eaten. Ambrogia would be THE reason I would travel to Cape Charles again. Owner, service, food, wines -- delightfully memorable.

Cristina does it again! We came here for my husband's birthday and couldn't decide so ended up with 3 entrees! It wasn't a bad choice. The flounder was perfect- delicate with a perfectly crisp exterior. The fettuccine was rich and to die for! Had a little pappardelle on the side and it was perfectly balanced with the beef and leeks. Wrapped up with chocolate panettone! Highly recommend!!

This cozy little restaurant in Cape Charles is a must stop at. We made reservations for dinner on a Saturday night and are glad we did. We started out with the Salumi meat board which was excellent, then my wife had the Ravioli stuffed with Chicken and I had the Fettuccine with weygu beef. It was literally one of the best pastas I've had in years. We ended the evening with Terimisu and some wine. Christina was an excellent host and can not recommend this place enough.

Ambrogia is one of the highlights of Cape Charles - Cristina and her team make every meal special. We always leave happy and full. Don't miss the boards!

the food was delicious!!! the service was speedy and kind. and the place was beautiful!!!! best food i've had in ages!!!!!!!

Unique delicious food. Wonderful warm service. Nice wine selection. Knowledgeable staff.

Very sad experience. Quite frankly a long way from Italy in more ways than one. Pasta with little distinction in flavors. Oh yes, only a cup of pasta on a huge plate for thirty dollars. Overcooked pasta is really criminal. Save your time and money. Drive on by. You can find better.

Thought we would try based on the good reviews but left hungry and disappointed. The food wasn't bad but across the different dishes our group had it was mediocre. Portion sizes were definitely on the small size, oddly seasoned and not very hot. Ambiance was on the pretentious side, as were the prices.
