Sant Ambroeus

I HEART Sant Ambroeus big time I feel like this everytime I stop in Sant Ambroeus on 1000 Madison Ave. at 76th street. They're in the Village at 259th West 4th street.
Everytime I go to the Met it's compulsory to stop for a gelato...
They have 24 flavors ($3.00 for a single)


If you sit at a table (just like in Italy) it will cost you more ($4.50) Yes I'm addicted to gelato pistache


You can stand up at the bar and pay less (just like in Italy).

Sant Ambroeus has those little bite-sized sandwiches/panini (just like in Italy).


 In the back they have a nice dining room


I LOVE looking in their pastry case. In my opinion there's either a French pastry chef lurking in the back.

Or someone who's done a stage at Pierre Herme in Paris.


They have an upscale version of tiamisu.

And your traditional Italian cookies/biscotti. Sant Ambroeus is a Milanese pasticceria/confetteria.


I'm not wild about traditional Italian biscotti but for this pretty Italian cookie box I'd commit hari-kiri. Wouldn't you?

I feel like a kid in Sant Ambroeus. Lick lick :)


Other times I feel like this lady(at the Met Infinite Jest show). After looking at all those scrumptous desserts I still always end up with the pistachio gelato.
BUON GIORNO SANT AMBROEUS!

    If you end up looking like the round lady on the dolly, then you might seriously consider suicide.
    But for heavens sake, at least do it in Italy. Maybe next time you go to Venice you could jump off the Rialto Bridge, as a tip of the hat to all deeeeliscious things "Italian," and as an homage to Sargent.
    Just a thought.

    I think I would look like that rotund lady if I ate all these, but they sure are fun to look at. :)

    I think the Mad Ave address is more Italianate if that's possible...
    Maybe visiting Italians and Frenchies find it more convenient

    If, for some reason, you find it impossible to get out into the world, I find ciao bello's pistachio from the grocery store delish. Sorry if it sounds like blasphemy, but any port in a storm.

    Not a bad idea - you giving tours of the city!
    This shop does remind me of Italy - the paninis, gelato, biscotti - even the standing at the counter.
    The pastries look amazing!
