Milan-style thin crust pizza, organic Italian wines, and unique dishes.
"With three locations across the San Diego region, a great Milan-style pizza from Ambrogio is never too far away. The restaurant is known for its paper-thin crust pies, topped with choices like burrata, Italian sausage, freshly clipped basil, bresaola, and more. Pizzas are also available with a whole wheat or gluten-free crust, the latter made with a rice flour blend. Meals can be rounded out with orders of Caprese salad, lasagna, cheese boards, and specialty mortadella and pistachio focaccia." - Helen I. Hwang
"Ambrogio15 is serving up what it calls the “Milan pizza experience.” Expect this to mean light-as-air thin crusts, organic and biodynamic wines, and sustainable and organic pizza toppings. A second and third location can be found at Little Italy Food Hall and the Sky Deck at Del Mar Highlands Town Center. The dining room is equally fit for a casual date night as it is for a larger gathering with family or friends." - darlene-horn
"The original location for this ambitious restaurant group first introduced San Diego to its Milan-style pizza, which features a super-thin crust and gourmet combinations like njduja with buffalo mozzarella, porchetta, red onions, and arugula. The kitchen also offers a thicker pizza with a whole wheat crust as well as two types of specialty foccacia. Its thoughtful and progressive wine list is another attraction." - Grace Cassidy
"The Milanese-style pizzeria with culinary contributions from Michelin-starred chef Silvio Salmoiraghi features playful takes on Italian dishes. The “Once Upon a Time a Lasagna Became a Truffled Pizza” is a favorite with no explanation needed. Not only is there pizza, but customers can also order fried calamari, filet mignon risotto, or the Ambrogio omakase, a five-course tasting menu." - Helen I. Hwang
"Co-owner Giacomo Pizzigoni and his partners, who also run Semola in La Jolla and Ambrogio15 at the Sky Deck, is particularly passionate biodynamic wine. His list is almost entirely biodynamic, which is a farming philosophy all about balance and harmony with nature, that he says carries into the winemaking of the bottles he features. Go here to try rare and funky, exclusively Italian wines." - Candice Woo
