Pizzeria
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.

    Unfortunately they didn't have their signature Lasagna but the pizza was very good. Crust was thin and crispy. The wine was excellent and ok priced. Ambienace was very nice.

    We were the only customers in there at lunchtime midweek. They had no background music on - felt very lifeless. Pizza good flavor and texture could have used a tiny bot more bottom heat. Ahi tuna appetizer was great. I hope they are successful long-term. I would imagine when it is busier in there it is a much better vibe. The server was polite. Food prices ok wine is high.

    Ambrogio15Responded on September 15, 2023

    Dear Kevin, appreciate your feedback on the music, It should be always on and I made my GM aware, sorry about that. We have been open for about 7.5 years and we have never been a lunch location (no offices around), but I can promise you that if you come on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday night you will even find difficulty to find a spot without a reservation, we do 200-250 people a night, the vibe is awesome, cozy and fun at the same time, so I hope you can come visit us one of those days and I promise you'll have a great Time!

    Pizza buona ma servizio pessimo! Hanno chiuso la cucina alle 9 e mentre mangiavamo avevano fretta di portare via i piatti !! Un ansia!!! Ci siamo ingoiate una pizza in 10 minuti perché avevano fretta di chiudere

    We ordered three pizzas. I thought the pizza crust was a bit thin. So thin, it was soggy like. The pizza drooped as you held it up to take a bite. The crust wasn't bubbly and didn't have any char to it. The two different salads we ordered and shared were good – CARPACCIO DI ZUCCHINE e BURRATA$ and INSALATA SICILIANA.

    Very authentic food from Northern Italy. Not a lot of choices on the menu but if you’re looking for authentic, thin crust, Italian pizza or focaccia, this is the place. The lasagna was delicious as well.

    We came to California for a little R & R. We started in Napa and then went to San Diego for Bouchercon. We ate out six nights. We usually don’t do pizza. But we made an exception in SD. We didn’t regret it. Ambrogio15 was easily the best meal we had. We had a funky little table set on artificial turf in the outdoor area. The staff was convivial and the pizza was excellent. ADA impressions: I was able to get around on my cane with no trouble. They have limited bathrooms, though.

    We ordered a charcuterie board, a salad, and a pizza. We asked our waiter, not to bring our salad until we had finished with our appetizer. Five minutes after we started to eat, a runner arrives with our salad. When we told her that we had asked for it to be delayed, they said oh yes, the server said to wait five minutes. No one checked on any of our three courses to see if everything was OK. After trying unsuccessfully to flag down anyone to get some Parmesan cheese for our pizza, I finally found the service area myself and got myself some. The charcuterie board was excellent and the salad was nice as well. The pizza was just OK. Pizza crust is a very personal opinion, and for me, this one was too much like a cracker. I like a thin crust, but I don’t like it to be so hard. Overall, I wouldn’t go back.

    Pizza and salads are always delicious. Service stays on top of requests. Price are okay but I NEVER see specials, coupons, or other deals from Ambrogio15. That would draw me to eat there more often. I do occasionally get takeout from the restaurant.

    The Vegetarian deconstructed lasagna was unacceptably dry. When returned to the chef, he acknowledged the sauce was dried up, when it was reheated. The restaurant chose to deduct part of the cost of the lasagna. In contrast, the Tonna appetizer was delicious as was the Malvasia wine we had. I would definitely return to Ambrogio15 and have eated there before.
