Neighbourhood gem
Great for outdoor dining
Great for fine wines

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 were very excited to participate in a second wine tasting paired with a four-course dinner at Ambrogio 15. The island of Sicily is the theme for the dinner. The first course of Caponata was spectacular (my wife's favorite). This was followed by a seafood couscous dish, then a swordfish involtini for a delicious third course. Finally, the cannoli served as dessert had the best shell of any I have ever tasted. Very thin and crispy, a great ending to the meal. The different wines paired with each course were very carefully selected and did nothing but enhance each course. If they have more of these dinners, we will make sure we attend.

The Sicilian Dinner special event was outstanding. Excellent food and wine pairings at a reasonable price considering the amount of food and wine served. Ambrogio continues to be one of my favorite Italian restaurants in town. They offer not only outstanding thin crust pizza with high quality ingredients but also an expanded menu.

Excellent service and the food was absolutely delicious. Went with a group of friends and they are all foodies and everyone was super impressed by the quality of the food. The taste, the freshness, the quality of ingredients. Environment is very pretty. Only downside is that it was so loud, it was hard to have a conversation (but that’s true of almost every restaurant I’ve ever been in in America). We’d still go back as the food was fabulous.

Pizza took an hour and when it came out it was cold as if it had been sitting out for 10 minutes. They remade it in about 10 minutes and it was very good. At the end the server apologized for the wait and cold pizza and offered to comp the water.

The food, ambiance, and servers are great. We love the place. After making a reservation weeks in advance, we were a little disappointed about being sat outside on a chilly and windy night. The warmers were decent at keeping us warm. But I think they should consider giving those that book in advance preference of the best seating location (outside vs inside). Update: The restaurant kindly reached out to me to clarify the misunderstanding and offered a nice bottle of wine for the next visit. I absolutely appreciate them caring enough reaching out and try to make things right.

Great service, really appreciate the staff. This is our regular weekly spot for a reasonably priced high quality pizza & salads in a cool atmosphere. Feels casual but special and authentic at the same time. Even for Valentine’s Day, it was nice normal menu with a few specials, not a bad prefix like many others. Please support to keep this place thriving!!

As always Ambrosio 15’s staff is amazing. Very warm and professional. The pizza, breads and salads are incredible. We really appreciate the change to add specials every night including meats and pastas. Great neighborhood restaurant with authentic and elevated food. Feels special every time. Casual & comfortable but still feels upscale. Perfect for friends, date, family, etc. A little slice of Milan @ beach,

If you get a chance to attend one of their special dinners, take it. Not only is the value great but the food was phenomenal. We enjoyed a four course meal and wine tasting of four flights of Roman wines for $89 a person I don’t think you’ll find that value anywhere else in San Diego and definitely worth a lot more than that. The food was spectacular starting with a Parmesan rice, tomato appetizer, followed by a gnocchi, then a Saltimbocca, and a delicious dessert .

The chef prepare a 4 course wine dinner that was fantastic. The wine pairings were acceptable with some wines more to our liking than others, but it was a good opportunity to expand our wine experiences.
