Ambrogio15 Del Mar is a more upscale, but still casual version than our Pacific Beach Restaurant. We will have gourmet Pizzas developed by our partnership with Michelin-starred Milanese chef Silvio Salmoiraghi, his partner Choi Cheolhyeok, and gastronome Paolo Tucci. Additionally, we will also offer a five-course gourmet tasting menu for 15-20 diners at a time featuring Italian dishes and global meat and seafood entrees, with a vast menu of natural Italian wines and French Champagnes.

    Pizza was wonderful especially with the shaved black Truffles! Wine list was extraordinary. My pasta with seafood was poor.

    Great food, great atmosphere, good service. I wish the waiter didn’t include tip for table of 6. That was a bit odd. Would come back though.

    Overall this was an excellent experience. The food was excellent. My family and I shared the Margarita pizza and sea bass. My son had a pasta dish that they made for him that was off menu. That was a nice touch. He had a pasta dish with sausage and a white sauce. He loved it. My wife and I shared the seabass and Pizza. The seabass was excellent, It was of a quality that surpassed their venue in my opinion. I loved the pizza. My wife thought the food was too acidic with too much tomato sauce. Now the food did have a lot of tomato sauce so keep that in mind for folks with sensitive stomachs. The Seabass did had a lot of tomato pesto sauce, however, I enjoyed it a lot. They also had a nice selection of Italian wine which I had two. They were excellent and matched the theme of the restaurant. For desert we had a chocolate gelato with a lava center. very delicious. Service was good and the main servers were Italian(I think) which added to the ambience. However, we asked for water to start and we were given a bottle to pour ourselves. For a casual/casual/upsacle they should pour it for you. Value was good but still a $188 bill with tip included. There are a few other local casual/upscale that have a slightly better value (Nicks Del Mar $174 w/tip 3 mains) but having pizza is a great change of pace. Overall Good experience. Ambrogio15 will be earning my future restaurant dollars.

    Ambrogio15 has a lovely staff and excellent menu. I strongly recommend the wine pairing dinners which are a little more than the price of a meal but totally worth it if you love Italian wine and food (which imho) pairs like nothing else in the world.

    Amazing food and wonderful service. A real gem of a restaurant and we will return. Hope to see a move to a larger restaurant space in the future as the area is a little cramped.
