WHAT WE ATE...

I decided to have the ‘Spaghetti Seafood Marinara - prawn, scallops, mussels, calamari and fish fillets finished in a choice of white or red sauce ($28.50)’. I chose the white sauce option which was an olive oil and chilli based sauce. The abundance of divine seafood was perfectly cooked and was enhanced by the garlic and chilli in the sauce. A wonderful pasta dish.  

My other dining companions enjoyed the following yummy dishes…

‘Fried Calamari - fresh calamari lightly battered and fried served with chips ($25.50)’…

‘Chilli Calamari - fresh calamari sealed on the grill and finished on the pan with Napoli sauce and white wine ($27.50)’…

‘Mussels - fresh mussels steamed with calamari, white wine, capsicum and a salsa sauce ($26.50)’…

‘Stuffed Eggplant - charcoal grilled eggplant stuffed with feta and mixed vegetables then baked to perfection ($27.50)’…

OVERALL…

Opposite the Rivoli cinema is Ambrosia, a fine dining restaurant that offers delightful Mediterranean dishes that are worthy of the gods. A charcoal grill is utelised with many items on the menu which intensifies the flavour of the ingredients. Verdant walls, artwork and white table clothes create an elegant but warm atmosphere. Ambrosia is an ideal venue to enjoy a long Sunday lunch over a glass of wine…
