Jesse D’Ambrosi
Founder, D’Ambrosi

Located in the heart of the Cotswolds in idyllic Stow-on-the-Wold, D’Ambrosi is a refined culinary concept, providing restaurant-quality food-to-go and catering, as well as a curated selection of wines, liquors, homemade candles, and floristry services. Originally launched in January 2020, by husband and wife duo, Chef Andrew D’Ambrosi and Interior Designer and Floral Stylist Jesse D’Ambrosi, the shop is now exclusively run by Jesse. The store has firmly established itself as a gourmet destination with an ever-growing queue of epicurean tourists and locals alike.

The shop offers a diverse style of food, incorporating unique flavours which champions American-style dishes including lobster rolls (the best on this side of the Atlantic), BBQ ribs, and their sell-out Southern fried chicken – get them before they’re gone! The international repertoire has also inspired dishes such as Sichuan style pork belly, rich cassoulets made from duck confit, Toulouse style sausage, ceviches as well as a range of fresh seafood and vegetarian options.

D’Ambrosi is committed to using local, responsibly sourced, sustainable food to develop their exceptional dishes.

Jesse sits at the creative helm, overseeing the store interiors and design elements that were inspired by her travels to Italy and France along with Greek revival, French / English colonial styles, and of course, the natural world. Having spent most of her adult life in Paris, Jesse apprenticed for Interior Design firm Coorengel & Calvagrac before establishing her own design firm in 2013. She has since channeled her creative experience and discerning eye into handcrafting bespoke D’Ambrosi scented candles, as well as offering floral styling arrangements and events styling services using exceptional flowers available by pre-order only.
