The owner of the popular Broad Ripple Italian restaurant Ambrosia plans to open a new location downtown on the first floor of the Hampton Inn along Maryland Street. The space most recently was home to a Cajun restaurant called J. Gumbo's and also has been a Buffalo Wild Wings and BadaBoomz. The new restaurant, owned by Gino Pizzi, will be called Ambrosia Centro. The restaurant will serve lunch and dinner and is slated to open in the Fall. The Ambrosia in Broad Ripple is on Westfield Boulevard between Corner Wine Bar and Broad Ripple Steakhouse.
