An authentic but unique Milano gourmet pizza, a special dough recipe, an innovative pizza-making process, high-quality Italian ingredients, a holistic approach to the food and beverage world, a focus on sustainable agriculture and farming, along with a deep love for Milano, where Andrea, Giacomo, and Luca grew up, and for San Diego, where they studied, worked and became who they are now. These are some of the concepts that make up the Ambrogio15 project. The idea was born in both Milano and San Diego, in the minds and the hearts of three young Italian guys who decided to leave the corporate world to begin a new adventure of passion, friendship, and a bit of foolishness.

    We prefer to sit on the deck where it is always more intimate, quieter, away from the busy intersections. The San Diego skyline is crisp in every direction. Heaters keep you from getting chilled in the cooler nights. Food and service never disappoint. Bali Hai has been our go-to spot since I was a child 60+ yrs ago for celebrations. Just recently we've been taking advantage of their holiday buffets; OMG, beautiful and delicious!

    Absolutely one of the most consistently best Italian restaurants we have been to. You would be remiss to not try the specials- they are always amazing. We had the sea bass with crispy leeks and a veal chop parmigiana that did not disappoint. Service with Bryan was top notch, we were never left wanting. The bar also serves the best expresso martinis to either start or finish your night. And Tony is a fixture at the door with wonderful hospitality- without a doubt a neighborhood gem!

    Food (kare kare, tocino, tuna crispy rice, wagyu rice, cesar salad, ube dessert) and drink (the malarky) was all great. Service (Lelani?) was excellent. And really, i expected it to be all great for the prices they charge. And they really delivered.
