the food was really bad, i had a pasta which was dry yellow and flavorless, nothing to do with what it was written on the menu, the beef milanese was more like beef nuggets and the pizza had only spots of cheese. service was slow because they had 1 & 1/2 guys for all tables on a saturday night.

The ambience was a zero, not one. It’s in an upscale food court, def not what I was expecting. Our pizza was cold on arrival. But since we had waited so long for it, I didn’t dare send it back. No more next time.

In our most recent visit, the food and service were fantastic. ! The front of the restaurant seemed noisy with all that goes on in the Skydeck. We sat in a booth in the rear, and it was perfect. I had the June special pasta and it was great. Others loved the salads, and of course the great pizzas. We will return to Ambrogio 15 in the future.

We have been to the Pacific Beach location and loved it. This time we went to Del Mar and again, fabulous evening. The Pacific Beach location is quieter, more conducive to sipping a glass of wine from the excellent wine menu while one waits for the order to arrive. The Del Mar location is snappier, lively but still quite manageable in terms of having a conversation at the table. In both locations the staff is one of the main reasons to come! Very knowledgeable, we appreciated that our wait person was well versed in the menu and pairings and provided great suggestions. Super friendly, honestly, we felt like family. My suggestion! if you go, go big! We had a dinner guest that wanted a salad, a vegan pizza. Then when the cannoli (developed by a michelin star chef) arrived at the table, he couldn't resist and asked to have his pizza boxed up and got the cannoli instead!! Happiness all around. We are eating the pizza now, for lunch the next day. The food is top notch and i know i speak with authority... my family is from Aqueseria, a small village on Lake Como, i know Italian food! This place is a stand out, not to be missed. thanks

Advertised as a romantic Valentine's place. Truly not. Food was overpriced on the special Valentine's menu. They were out of the wine that was our choice. Noise level was extreme. We were fortunate to have a booth. The wait staff was only marginally trained. They were efficient in how they were trained on how to wait on customers. This restaurant is fine for casual dining but it is not upscale or romantic.
