Tucked away in the picturesque market town of Stow-on-the-Wold, D'Ambrosi is a wonderfully unique culinary concept that's been turning heads across the Cotswolds. This charming establishment offers something quite special - a slice of America nestled in one of England's most beautiful villages.
You'll find D'Ambrosi in the heart of Stow-on-the-Wold, one of the Cotswolds' most iconic honey-stone market towns. This historic village, with its medieval market square and traditional architecture, provides the perfect backdrop for what's become a local institution. The contrast between the quintessentially English setting and the American-inspired cuisine creates a delightfully unexpected dining experience that's captured the attention of food lovers from across the region. The shop has become something of a destination in itself, attracting visitors who come specifically to browse their thoughtfully selected artisanal products.
What makes D'Ambrosi truly special is their focus on restaurant-quality food-to-go with an American twist. Their signature dishes include what many consider to be the best lobster rolls this side of the Atlantic, alongside their hugely popular Southern fried chicken - crunchy, salty, juicy, and outrageously tasty, served with a maple chilli sauce. The menu also features BBQ ribs, Latin-style roasted chicken with jalapeño coriander sauce, and New England-style shrimp rolls with crème fraîche, lemon, shallots, and tarragon oil.
Beyond their prepared foods, D'Ambrosi offers a carefully curated selection of gourmet items, wines, and spirits, plus delightful extras like hand-poured candles and chic paper goods. Their ‘Le D'Ambrosi picnic’ is particularly popular - a prix fixe selection featuring their signature roasted chicken, three composed vegetable dishes, and dessert.
Whether you're grabbing lunch for a Cotswolds adventure or treating yourself to their famous peanut butter sandies, D'Ambrosi brings a taste of America to the English countryside in the most charming way possible.
