we want to start a business with the name Ambiente. does it have the same meaning as Ambiance (nice room ambiance, nice atmosphere, etc) ?

Environment or also surroundings, also used for a room, although in this sense can be used as synonym of both "room" or "furniture", sometimes. Mainly because it seems "cool" saying "ambiente" instead of "cucina" ("cookery") or "salotto" ("living room"), etc.
Not atmosphere, since in Italian is atmosfera both in geophysical and figurative way (the same way as in English, including ambience).

1 (space) environment, surroundings;
2 (ecology) environment; station, habitat. /
tutela dell'ambiente, protection of the environment /
reati contro l'ambiente, environmental crimes/
3 (figurative) environment, surroundings ; sphere, circle, setting; ambience:
ambiente storico, historical setting/; fuori del suo ambiente è come un pesce fuor d'acqua, out of his environment (or sphere) he is like a fish out of water/; ho bisogno di cambiare ambiente I need a change of air/; creare l'ambiente adatto alla rivoluzione, to create the right conditions for revolution
/ambienti finanziari, business circle/

It actually translates into environment- which does sort of mean the same thing.
Atmosfera is what I got when I translated ambience in Italian.
Ambiente is a nice translation of ambience in Spanish.
