Ambrogio15 Del Mar

I recently had the pleasure of dining here and I must say, the food exceeded my expectations. The carbonara was exceptional, with just the right balance of flavors and perfectly cooked pasta and bacon! But what truly was impressive was their innovative lasagna pizza which was a delightful fusion of two classics that resulted in a mouthwatering dish. The blend of lasagna and pizza flavors was executed so well, it left me super full. I highly recommend trying their carbonara and lasagna pizza.

Amazing, flavorful food! This restaurant located in the Sky Deck had a great wine and beer selection (although no alcohol is served) and the food was delicious. It's small place within the Sky deck area and the whole place is loud - not a good spot for a quiet or intimate dinner. I had a nice Italian blonde ale and we shared the capriccio (the cheese was divine!) Then my husband had a pizza and I had the whole branzino. It's $47, which is a bit steep by the fish was quite large and the tomato sauce was a flavor bomb.

Thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience at Ambrogio. Our server, Caleb was so kind and helpful. One of the best Pizza in Northern San Diego area. Good dessert, wine choices and ambience. Will try again for sure.

everything about this place was heaven sent! we dined at the Del Mar location and Jorge D was the most kind waiter. we sat at the bar and LOVED being able to see the kitchen staff do their thing. the pizza is famous and delicious but my new goal is to try all the pasta on the menu, the rigatoni was incredible!!

We came here for lunch after visiting Botanic Garden. I was told that they have Michelin Starred Chef and they were dubbed as THE best Italian restaurant in the SD area. Considering all the fierce competition here, it is a tall task to have. I was super duper psyched. LOL The restaurant is small and they open at noon. It is cozy but probably not the ideal restaurant for a large party. The waiter recommended mistaken Margherita's pizza to me. This pizza was created as a tribute to Franco Pepe, Italy's Number 1 Pizzsaiolo. It comes with Mozzarella di Bufala, tomato, and basil cream source. The first bite into the slice, umm, heavenly, soooo good, So it is not just hype, it is real. My friend ordered deconstructed lasagna. It is beef & prosciut to Crudo White Ragu, Porcini with Wine Bechamel Sauce. The dish looks like from the food magazine center fold, she said it was super yummy. The patateespeck pizza was also very good. It comes with mozzarella, roasted potatoes, Parmigiano, and truffle oil. According to the waiter, it is a 2nd in line as the fan favorite ( the top one is Mistaken margherita's ) . We left the restaurant satisfied. The waiter speaks Italian and shared stories with us. They don't allow you separate checks as I acted as our bookkeeper to figure out each person's bill. I enjoyed it but if you don't, you might want to reconsider dining here with a large group.

What a great spot. Good Food and Good People. The Focaccia and Calamari were great appetizers. Any of the pasta dishes hit the spot and also any of the pizza is amazing. Just be careful you could eat a whole pizza on your own. Wine and drink list is great as well. Located inside the Sky Deck the ambiance is great especially durning the weekends when there is a live DJ. Next time I’m in town I’ll be sure to stop in for a bite. Thanks for the Hospitality.

I cannot believe that people gave them more than 1 star with the food. We ordered a couple of pizzas, a salad and a pasta dish. All were not good at all. I cannot believe that others will give such high reviews on food. Pizzas were both undercooked, salad was drenched in dressing to a point where you cannot even see the greens, and the pasta we ordered was a disaster with its flavor. They tried a fusion approach and boy, did it fail! A couple of items we ordered should not even be on the menu. They need to take that out immediately. As for the service, it was fine. Nothing great or nothing bad. It was just a standard service. As for the atmosphere, it was ok. However, the chairs were so stained and that was quite disgusting. I have been to many Italians restaurants all of San Diego and this is definitely on the bottom of my list. Please save time and money, do not go and thank me later! We went out of curiosity, and it cost us big time. Side not, anything that has a ⭐️ and says Michelin chef inspired, AVOID! Those were the worst!

Best gluten free pizza I have ever had hands down no contest! So excited for this discovery. Can't wait to go back!

Great place!! The servers are extremely kind and the pasta is one of the best ones I ever had! I really enjoyed our time there and I'll come back soon for sure!

The service was excellent, and both the food and wine were fantastic! I'll definitely be returning and recommending this place to my friends

We celebrated Father's Day here and were able to reserve a table for 8 people at 12noon. Much to my surprise, I had no issues making a reservation on Open Table just an hour before. When we arrived, the restaurant was practically empty (this was warning sign that I dismissed due to the holiday). We ordered the following to share family style: 2 caprese salads - $18.50 each Fried calamari - $19.50 Gnocchi $34.00 Cabanara - $29 Italian ramen - $29 Margherita pizza -$19.00 Salsiccia asiago & porcini pizza - $23.50 Coke - $4.50 Ginger ale - $7.50 We enjoyed the caprese salads and calamari, although we felt the portion size was relatively small and were not worth the price. Of the 2 pizzas, we preferred the Margherita over the sausage mushroom. The sausage mushroom pizza was too salty and greasy. We typically prefer thin crust over thick crust, although the crust here was way too thin. The edge of the pizza had a nice crisp, but the center was too thin and soggy. We did not enjoy the texture of the dough. We didn't see how they could have been awarded as San Diego's best pizza, we disagreed considerably! At most, we would give the pizzas a 3 out of 5 star rating. The gnocchi and cabanara pastas were too rich and creamy. We did not enjoy these at all. 2 stars max. The portions were very small for the heavy price tag. Of all the dishes, the worst was the Italian ramen. It was a failed attempt at ramen. The only good thing was the soy sauce egg. The wide pastas were over cooked. The beef slices were too well done and dry. The meatballs were fatty. The broth had a weird sour taste to it. In summary, this was a 1 star dish (5 stars for the egg alone and for everything else, deduct 1 star each). The restaurant itself was beautiful and had a nice patio. Service was not bad. Overall, this restaurant fell short of my expectations. It definitely was not worth $259.33 (tax and 20% tip automatically included).

I decided to try Ambrogio15 because it looked really nice. When I read the menu I saw it has Michelin star chefs working and knew I had to try it. Inside looks really nice and makes you feel like you should dress nice (even though everyone eating there was dressed casual) I felt like I was in a fancy restaurant. However, our serve was nice, but I didn't care for the paring I got. I ordered the, Carbonara Come Uma Volta. I saw the Michelin chef would be preparing it as it was labeled with a "star". I was not too impressed especially with the price. The pairing the waiter gave me was an Orange Pinot Grigio. It tasted like cheap wine. My pasta didn't have much flavor and I felt needed more of something but I couldn't pinpoint what it was. My mom ordered the Bronzino was very disappointing and had a very fishy taste. It didn't taste fresh and was overly salty. She ordered a Pinot Noir. It tasted like cherry medicine. I'm not sure if we went on an off day but the food wasn't to my liking, especially for the price. For two wines and two entrees it was almost $200 with the tip.

Chillin' with a buddy on the Brewer's Deck level of Sky Deck and ordered a Burratina e Prosciutto (Fresh Burrata, Prosciutto Crudo di Parma aged 20 months, EVOO, Olives, Focaccia) from Ambrogio15 below. Unfortunately, the focaccia bread was a bit too soggy and dense to properly showcase the delicately flavored burrata dollops and prosciutto slices. In hindsight, a crispy thin pizza crust with those toppings would've been the better call!

A welcoming spot within a food hall on the 2nd floor of the Sky Deck. You can get food to go and enjoy on the 3rd floor (the deck), but I sat in the seating area and enjoyed the ambiance. I ate fairly early (5:30ish), so the restaurant was not too busy. Service was quick and my pizza and beer came out quickly. A 16 inch pizza with sausage, mushrooms, and tasty melted cheese, with just enough sauce and a crisp crust. 1 star off as the center got soggy (so the slices were hard to hold and eat). Prices were very good for this area ($30ish for the pie and a beer). I recommend this location and will try again the next time I'm in Del Mar.

Not your Ma and pa Italian but not a bad for something local in Del Mar. Ambrogio15 is a posh Italian spot. Food is beyond excellent! But the ambience could be livelier. They need music or some other decorations to help it feel more Italian and like a special night out. Without music you hear everything your neighbors are saying. The service was decent, our waitress wasn't the warmest. I wish the menu was more clear about vegetarian options or substitutions, my dinner date and I had to Google translate most of the Italian text. I would come back though. The food is phenomenal, definitely on par with what you would get in Europe.

My boyfriend and I did the Italian omakase where the chef has a curated menu course. We've done Japanese omakase many times before and the idea of Italian omakase sounded so fun! If you decide to only get pizza here, please get the once upon a time lasagna became a pizza!! It was so good and satisfied the craving of wanting pasta even though it was in a pizza form! The other dish I would recommend is the tartufo dessert. It was basically a giant Ferraro Rocher with ice cream! The staff was so kind to us and the vibes in the restaurant were so lively. A great experience in my opinion!

What a great spot. Good Food and Good People. The Focaccia and Calamari were great appetizers. Any of the pasta dishes hit the spot and also any of the pizza is amazing. Just be careful you could eat a whole pizza on your own. Wine and drink list is great as well. Located inside the Sky Deck the ambiance is great especially durning the weekends when there is a live DJ. Next time I'm in town I'll be sure to stop in for a bite. Thanks for the Hospitality.

location: located inside the Sky Deck at Del Mar Highlands Town Center (2nd floor) parking: free and easy (the plaza can get pretty busy though) ambiance: (10/10) upscale casual and attentive wait staff wait: we made a reservation, and we were seated right away. it wasn't too busy on a weekday night what we ordered: - HANNIBAL LECTER $24: I like the thin crust pizza, but I think it may have been a little too thin because all the toppings and cheese fell off after the first bite. it tasted good & they provided adequate topping but it wasn't the most memorable pizza. - focaccia ($8): solid focaccia. crispy on the outside, soft and pillowy on the inside. my favorite part was the chili oil for dipping the bread.

Went to understory bar but ordered food from here. It came out quickly. Ordered the prosciutto and burrata pizza and unfortunately it was cold :( Crust was delicious though. Also ordered the caesar salad, and it was a bit heavy on the dressing but nothing to go crazy over.

I went to Ambrogio this weekend with my wife and what a great spot! Food and service was beyond excellent. I had the porcini and tartufata and mistaken negroni, such a good combo! The pasta was creamy and hit the spot. My wife ordered the pesto and mortadella pizza and she loved it. For dessert we got the tartufo gelato to finish this amazing dinning experience! Definitely will be back.

This place was very authentic. Love the ambiance of the food court inside, it was very Boujee compared to other food courts. I want to come back and try the other restaurants! Nothing special nor bad to say about service, gentleman was kind and helped whenever was convenient for him. We got the Cesar salad, Miami vice pasta, cacio e pepe, and the lasagna. My favorite was the Miami vice. All their pasta dishes feel very authentic and not too much grease or butter, just the right amount. Overall it was rather expensive for what we ordered but one of the better pasta places I've been to in San Diego! I would come back here again!

We love a good food hall and the one at the SkyDeck is so pretty. Of all the establishments, we just couldn't turn away from here. I can see the place getting busy for dinner service, but it was fairly light for Saturday lunch. Prices are not low but not the most expensive either. We ordered the Insalata Della Casa and added beef milanese. The salad came out a lot larger than I expected. I thought it was nice - nothing groundbreaking here - we just wanted some greens in our tummy. The beef milanese were in little balls, not the form I was expecting either but nice breading and went well with the salad. We could not decide on one pizza so ordered the prosciutto cotto e funghi and the bresaola, rucola e parmigiano pizza. Each pizza is about 11 inches and crust is very thin, as described on the menu. Both were good and accurate to Milanese pizza (not that I'm any expert, just tourism experience). It's lighter on sauce and toppings and lets the ingredients shine naturally. Of the two, we enjoyed the mushroom prosciutto more. However, from the moment it was served, some of the mozzarella pockets were already hardened. I prefer melted gooey-ness. I liked that they gave us crushed red peppers and grated parmesan for the table to add as we please. I wish the food was served hotter, since there weren't very many diners at the time of our visit.

Came for a early Mother's Day dinner. Set my reservation while on the way since I know it's pretty small restaurant. I thought it was ok when I first came a few months ago but I wanted to come back and try some other items on their menu. I ordered the Italian ramen and my husband got the Miami vice. What I don't like is saying it's beef and the waiter said the meat balls are like 5% pork. That is just a lie on their menu and I'm glad the waiter said it. But the problem is I can't switch the one I ordered with my husband because he can't eat pork. If you say beef meatballs it should be 100% beef. Otherwise say beef and pork meatballs. The ramen was ok but the thick pasta isn't right for anything ramen. I preferred the Miami vice pasta when I had a bite of my husbands food. I liked the sauce. Was really disappointed I couldn't switch with my husband. When asking questions about the menu, the waiter went straight to recommending the more expensive items. Makes me wonder if they try anything. They could just pick the more expensive so you spend more money. Anyways, I don't think I'll be back.

Came on a Friday night with no reservation, seated in the back corner of the restaurant next to the door at a table way too small for 5 people (but understandable no reservation), and we were definitely forgotten about. Server was nice but trying to upsell too much. Filet risotto- base tasted like mush, no flavor at all. Steak was good but not worth the price. 3/5 stars Margherita pizza- solid pizza, flavorful 4/5 Calamari- small portion, too much batter, not worth the price. Pasta was good but served luke warm borderline cold

For such a nice place I was amazed at how awful the tuna tartare was. I've never heard of the Mediterranean version but putting olives with the tuna doesn't work for me. It over-powered the delicate flavor of tuna. More I porta toy for $12 this is what I got. Two chips and I kid you not o Lu six small cubes of tuna. Ridiculous. You can do better chef.

Mixed feelings, I went there for the first time with my wife and 2 of our friends. Started off good, appetizers we're great (calamari). Pizzas were really good too, however, after we got home 3 people from our group got sick, I will spare you the details, the 4th person didn't but she didn't end up eating one of the pizza that we all shared. A little disappointed because I really did enjoy the pizzas! My buddy called and the manager offered us a full refund which was nice. Might give this place another shot!

I cannot believe that people have them more than 1 star with the food. We ordered a couple of pizzas, a salad and a pasta dish. All were not good at all. I cannot believe that others will give such high reviews on food. Pizzas were both extremely undercooked, salad was drenched in dressing to a point where you cannot even see the greens, and the pasta we ordered was a disaster with its flavor. They tried a fusion approach and boy, did it fail! A couple of items we ordered should not even be on the menu. They need to take that out immediately. As for the service, it was fine. Nothing great or nothing bad. It was just a standard service. As for the atmosphere, it was ok. However, the chairs were so stained and that was quite disgusting. I have been to many Italians restaurants all of San Diego and this is definitely on the bottom of my list. Please save time and money, DO not go and thank me later! We went out of curiosity, and it cost us big time. Side not, anything that has a and says Michelin chef inspired, AVOID! Those were the worst!

I've heard so much about the pizzas here that I had to try them for myself. I got the burrata and prosciutto pizza and our waitress recommended the truffle honey on top. This combination was amazing, I ate every last bite. My friend got the Potato Pizza and couldn't say enough good things about it. Definitely going to try that the next time I come here! Service was awesome, our waitress was so nice. Very knowledgeable about the menu as well and was able to give us tons of recommendations. Can't wait to come back and give their pasta a try as well!

I'm a regular customer, I come at least once a week! The food is always good, the service is always friendly and makes you feel at home. Ambience is a charm, new, modern, such a good taste. I highly recommend it to everyone!!

Burrata E Prosciutto: 4/5 stars. So good! Would def order again! Pretty neat that you can go to Understory to dine and get drinks and order from here. They will bring the pizza over to Understory. Love the concept of ordering food from nearby stalls and dining at Understory.

My friends and I had lunch on 01/12/24. We had a nice lunch experience. Food, service, and ambiance are great. Our server, Ivan, was very nice. The toppings and dough of the pizza are so good. The Strawberry Panna Cotta and Tiramisu are both delightful.

First time here, food was amazing! Try the Porcini pasta with guanciale! Service was great and there is cute ambiance as well. We live here in Del Mar and we will definitely be back! Highly recommend this great restaurant.

I think that this is a one off issue. I went here last night and was amazed to see the chef on his phone and touching food and putting the phone back on the cutting board. In this photo it's touching the knife . I know where I read my phone. Anyways, the staff is super friendly and the food is great but was a little put off by this.

Just amazing pizza. Love this.place. They use amazing ingredients and just wonderful food.

I've been to the sky deck plenty of times but I just had the pleasure of dinning at Ambrogio15. The staff was so pleasant and welcoming. I ordered the seared tuna pesto and Hannibal pizza with the Italian Pale Ale. The pasta was delicious and the seared tuna is unique. I also loved the Hannibal pizza. There was a pile of meat and it worked together for a very tasty bite. It was not salty at all which made it even more pleasant to indulge. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and will come back to try the other items on the menu.

We came here for lunch after visiting Botanic Garden. I was told that they have Michelin Starred Chef and they were dubbed as THE best Italian restaurant in the SD area. Considering all the fierce competition here, it is a tall task to have. I was super duper psyched. LOL The restaurant is small and they open at noon. It is cozy but probably not the ideal restaurant for a large party. The waiter recommended mistaken Margherita's pizza to me. This pizza was created as a tribute to Franco Pepe, Italy's Number 1 Pizzsaiolo. It comes with Mozzarella di Bufala, tomato, and basil cream source. The first bite into the slice, umm, heavenly, soooo good, So it is not just hype, it is real. My friend ordered deconstructed lasagna. It is beef & prosciut to Crudo White Ragu, Porcini with Wine Bechamel Sauce. The dish looks like from the food magazine center fold, she said it was super yummy. The patateespeck pizza was also very good. It comes with mozzarella, roasted potatoes, Parmigiano, and truffle oil. According to the waiter, it is a 2nd in line as the fan favorite ( the top one is Mistaken margherita's ) . We left the restaurant satisfied. The waiter speaks Italian and shared stories with us. They don't allow you separate checks as I acted as our bookkeeper to figure out each person's bill. I enjoyed it but if you don't, you might want to reconsider dining here with a large group.

The pizzas are delicious!! They have an amazing wine menu with lots of Italian and organic selections- I was impressed at the wine selection, reasonably priced for the quality. I've come here twice and both times has amazing service- everyone is so friendly! It is located in the sky deck food court, such a cool place to check out, it has more of a nice casual vibe to it. You get the white linen table cloths while still being in a food court. Highly recommend!

Started with calamari and burrata. Both delicious. Many options of wines and spritz's also beers are available. For my main course I had the truffle fettuccini and it was so tasty and filling. Definite recommend it.

I have tried the location in Pacific Beach and this one but I think the food and menu is far superior in Pacific Beach. Service is okay but it look like they are understaffed, the problem is that the manager who was the main server spent too much time talking with the customers and not attending the other tables. The place was quite empty and they didn't allowed us to sit in a table for 4, the 2 person tables are so small that the 3 plates we ordered couldn't even fit. The menu options aren't as good as the one in Pacific Beach. We ordered: - Caprese di Bufala.- very small portions and the cheese was dry. - Linguine Pesto e Capesante.- better but nothing special. - Risotto alla Milanese.- small portion and very plain flavor. In terms of service and menu options I recommend the location in Pacific Beach.

Came here for dinner and had a pleasant experience! The GM was really nice and I liked that he gave us a little history of the restaurant and the menu items! The calamari dish wasn't what we were expecting but it was so good! As we were told, you need to mix the dish with the red sauce on the bottom. Has a bit of slice to it and it's so delicious! We ordered two pizzas, which we were told are personal sized, but definitely shareable. The Norma was one of their Michelin chef partnership pizzas and it was good! Very flavorful but I wouldn't necessarily get it again. The asiago e porcini pizza was really good and also really flavorful. We would def come again to try more pizzas!

Lovely first experience! I came here with a friend who recommended this place. We waited for about 15-20 minutes (not too long). The restaurant itself seemed quite small however the ambiance was lovely! The staff was quite friendly and understanding with my peanut and tree nut allergies. We ended up ordering two pizzas which both were absolutely delicious! It looked like it was handmade and were full of flavors! I couldn't decide which pizza was my favorite! I would come back again for their pizza again! WOULD RECOMMEND!

This is one of the cool restaurants inside SkyDeck Del Mar. It wasn't busy at all around 3pm on a Saturday so we got sat right away. Friendly faces all around so the atmosphere was chill and inviting. Huge list of wines, so if you're into wines, this is spot for you! Plenty of choices on the menu as well. Very clean restaurant and plenty of spots, so I don't imagine you having to wait very long even if it was busy. We opted for the cold cut & cheese board [$38] which is most definitely shareable. Came with 3 different types of cheese as well as 3 diff types of meat along with artichokes, olives & bread. Ugh everything on that plate was amazinggg! The bread was toasted just right while the cheese and meat pairings were on point! The only disappointment was that they ran out of truffle honey... we got a little taste of it & wanted more! We'll be back next time for that. Opted to share the Margherita pizza [$16] which was a little burnt, but it was good nonetheless. The tomato sauce was so fresh and the dough was delish! The entire meal was really, really good & service was great!

The Burratta E Prosciutto Crudo Pizza is absolutely my favorite pizza at Ambrogio15. It's so good and authentic. Our server was very helpful and kind in guiding us through the menu. The ambiance is very Boujee. Overall, I would love to come back to try their other pizzas and pastas.

Went here for a business lunch. It was not very busy. It is hard to find the place. It is right at the front but the signage is far from prominent. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit inside. One had a salad and the other had the deconstructed lasagne. Both came out very quick. The food was very tasty. Mainly a pizza place with a few pasta and salad choices. We had soft drinks and ice tea with the meal Overall a great experience. If you need a quick and tasty lunch and are close by Del Mar town square, this is a great choice.

I got the vegetarian pizza tonight with the whole wheat crust, but it is not as good as the one I got last week. There is too much sauce and too much pesto, and the pieces are falling apart. It's also less flavorful than last week. I still like it but it is not as good as that delicious pizza!

Everything about the experience here at Ambrosio was delightful. The salad was light and refreshing and the pizza was the best I've had in all of San Diego. Ian provided excellent service and a thorough explanation of the menu. Highly recommend coming here. Great ambiance as well!

We tried the Milano style pizza over the weekend and really enjoyed it. The venue is so visually interesting and the restaurant itself has a sophisticated yet casual atmosphere. The house salad is large with mildly sweet dressing that was very tasty and enough for two. The 15 inch paper thin pizza was delicious. We had the salsiccia, porcini e Asiago pizza. Nice place for date night

The location and ambiance is great, and the food tastes so good too. I docked a star because the price is pretty steep for the small amount you get. The pasta we got was like $30 for such a small portion, but it was delicious. The same thing with the pizza, it was about $30 for such thin slices.

Had reservations at International Smoke house Del Mar and found out they permanently closed a few days before and found this place had a tasting menu. Signed up and was blown away by how bill the building was with super tall ceilings. (forgot to take photos) There are tons of small restaurants in the open seating it is noisy and energetic with so many people coming in and out. The first 2 salads were both amazing! They were followed by tuna tartar and veal and oh boy were they excellent! Then came an open faced lasagna and risotto. The risotto wasn't that good but the bone marrow was tasty. Next was the pizza, it was okay as it has some different ingredients that didn't go that well together, maybe that is a Milano thing. For dessert got a single panna cotta that was just so-so. 4 items were amazing! 2 items decent and 2 items I wouldn't order again. Fun experience nevertheless.

Michelin chef, Michelin prices Solid spot in a super awesome food/bar complex in Del Mar but know what to order and don't overspend. Food: Prosciutto pizza 4.5/5: Very solid prosciutto pizza with thin crust and nice light fluffy cheese topped off with a generous serving of prosciutto Four cheese pizza 3.75/5: Good and cheesy pizza, nice and light with fresh cheese. For me it's a little plain but that's what it's going for Other 3/5: We also had one of the Michelin star chef appetizers which was this salad antipasto item (forgot the name) and it was good but very light serving and not worth inflated price in my opinion Ambiance/ location/ service: Located in a convenient mall complex in the newly built in the trendy bar/ restaurant area- service was good

Absolutely the best pizza we have ever had. The appetizers were also delicious, when they brought it out, it did not look very impressive until I tried it. Both the hummus and the olive spread were amazing. The bread was fresh and light. What really surprised me was how light the meal left me feeling. Excellent choice the desserts did not disappoint. The gelato was excellent.

We went to the food hall for a date night. Started out at the Glass Box. Was super dissapointed with it . Had appetizers and left. Then went here for dinner! What a GREAT choice! I still cant get their pizza out of my head! Pizza was the best i have ever had! We got the Burrata - Purccuito pizza. Purccuito and Burrata were both really good ! Purccuito was not American was imported from Italy and you could taste it . It was nothing like any prosciutto I have ever had . Matter fact I don't like prosciutto, probably because I have never had real prosciutto . Was fun to be able to see in the kitchen and watch the pizza cook too! The Tareni Wine was delicious. I usually drink Pinot noir, but this was a great alternative that Clara suggested! Glad we didn't waste any more time or money at the GlassBox. This pace was 1000X better and more enjoyable! Over all just loved this place, food and service! Can't wait to go back! - Clara was great with helping me choose a wine! - Tommy was great friendly and just really informative with the whole menu!

This place was really good! We ordered a couple of pizzas, couple of pastas, Caesar salad and focaccia bread. Enjoyed all the dishes. The manager was nice and friendly as well as the server. Yes, the place is a bit pricy, but you get what you pay for. My kids said it was the best pasta they ever had, and they eat pasta every day. Ambiance felt upscale. Loved the red velvet chairs! The food court is an experience. Try it out!

Mall food court quality at Del Mar price point. Skip it- so many better options close by. $19 glass of wine that I am doubtful what was poured. Third time not the charm.

I was happy to learn that Ambrogio15 has expanded to Del Mar and that they are now open for lunch at noon except for Mondays.For my Saturday lunch, I had the Caesar salad with anchovies of course and the Margherita pizza with olive oil. The Caesar salad was generous in size and worth the $13, given that it's large enough for two people to share. I on the other hand ate the whole dam thing simply because it was delicious. It was a little heavy handed with the dressing in my opinion, but it was a very good dressing. The dressing offered that subtle tang and acidity. In addition to the generous portion, I also loved that the salad came with cherry tomatoes that burst with flavor and juice, shaved Parmesan Cheese, and homemade croutons! I'm always into the homemade croutons. Great salad, and for those anchovy lovers, well you know. The margherita pizza was very well made, and with the drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, it was even better. The crust was thin and offered crisp edges with a semi soft middle. The tomato sauce was tasty and offered a nice balance between acidity and sweet. I am a fan of the simplicity of this pizza, but they have many options to choose from. Furthermore, you can even add more toppings the the margherita if you wish for and extra charge. The basic margherita pizza was $16. You can even order wheat or gluten free dough for your crust for a small up charge. I loved the flare of the service. Every time I spoke to one of them, it was as if I was hit with a positive burst of energy. Sara and Carol full of positive energy and were super friendly and helpful. Well done!

Delicious Crudo e Burrata pizza and Caesar salad. Ordered drinks at Sky's Deck's Understory bar and Ambrogio15 was one of the choices to order food from. Crudo e Burrata pizza had good amount of cheese, including big pieces of melted burrata, with each slice having a tasty serving of prosciutto. Flavors all worked well together. The caesar salad was dressed perfectly, had a lot a cheese, and had large healthy leaves of romaine. Our pizza was $23 for 6 slices and the caesar salad was $13. There was a "Understory Ambrogio" service fee added to our order.

Four stars is definitely a very good reflection of this restaurant. The thing that stands out to me most about this place is the unique ingredients that they use and the flavors that they incorporate. Located on the right side of the food hall. You can find innovative Italian pizzas for surprising and unassuming types of pizzas. For instance, putting potatoes on top of pizza with truffle oil is unique and surprising. The cost is fair for the ingredients, and the service is par for the course.

My daughter and i came here for a lunch date. we ordered a caprese salad and a margherita pizza. The caprese...i would not order it again. it was just boring. I normally LOVE a caprese, but the cheese, the tomatoes...neither had an amazing taste. there was a minuscule drizzle of something that was tasty but it seemed to only be there for looks. big thumbs down to this. the best part of it was the greens. the pizza..crust was perfect. I liked that. that alone makes a pizza. good amount of toppings. i also had a glass of sparkling rose. it was good. Although i wasn't jumping up and down with this place, i may give it another chance (because it's in my hood and b/c the pizza crust was good)
