Editor's review
Ambiente is a modern Italian restaurant and cafe right next to the Old Town Square. As one would except from an Italian restaurant, they offer pasta - all types of pasta, from tortellini to ricotta to classic spaghetti. We recommend the lasagna Bolognese to satisfy that pasta fetish. If meat is on your menu, try the grilled chicken or beef fillets, or perhaps a fresh grilled or baked fish, prepared deliciously in the Italian way. Prego!

When we talk about Tomas Karpisek, the founder of the ubiquitous Ambiente group of restaurants, on our Prague food tours, we often describe him as the “Steve Jobs of the Prague culinary scene”. Sure, it's overstatement, but it’s not that far off. If there is anyone who sets food trends in the Czech Republic, it’s Tomas. The appearance isn’t that far off, either: we’re yet to see Tomas in something that even barely resembles a business suit. He’s more of a jeans-and-a-t-shirt guy. Also, just like the late Jobs, he’s a visionary of sorts and has a bigger plan, too. And he’s undoubtedly one of the most respected personalities on the food scene, as witnessed by our interview with Hana Michopulu, the owner of the popular Sisters bistro.
Excellent restaurant with modern/minimalist/natural decor. The pasta menu is extensive, service is good. Beautiful interior both upstairs and downstairs.
