Ambrogio15 is consistently excellent. I usually get the Wagyu meatballs ($21) and the Margherita pizza ($19.50), both are always on point. The meatballs are rich and flavorful without being heavy, and the Margherita is simple, balanced, and exactly what it should be. My wife ordered the Marinara (vegan, $15.50) and honestly couldn't even tell it was vegan, which says a lot. Super satisfying and full of flavor. It's a little on the pricey side, but the quality makes it worth it every time. This is one of those places that never misses. read more

Ambrogio15 is a delightful enoteco, albeit tucked onto the Sky Deck. FOOD (5/5) We've had two dishes here, both of which reflect the Northern Italian heritage of Ambrogio15: Wagyu Meatballs (5/5) -- Served with a marinara sauce and aged Parmigiano Reggiano, these meatballs are among the best we've enjoyed in Italy or in the States. ($21) Tagliata Rucola (5/5) -- One of my favorite ways to have steak ... a Tuscan-style New York strip steak. It was grilled rare (like i requested) and served sliced over a bed of arugula and cherry tomates, topped with aged Parmigiano Reggiano and a balsamic glaze. Perfetto! ($37) We haven't tried their pizza yet. WINE (4/5) The wine list is a respectable representation of Italian wines. We've ordered wines by the glass, each of which was very good. SERVICE (4/5) Our servers have been very pleasant and helpful. AMBIANCE (3/5) The restaurant itself is casual and decorated very nicely with a contemporary look and feel. Loudness of Sky Deck detracts from the dining experience. read more

First time eating at Ambrogio15 Del Mar. Ambiance was nice, no host but the waiter was a bit frazzled greeting our party. Menu was well organized and we ordered Crudo di Hamachi had a heavy lemon ponzu that caused our party to pucker and the acid was hard to consume and enjoy. Insalata Della Casa was good but balsamic sauce was too sweet. Margherita pizza is good and signature sour dough tasted good. Soft but crispy crust. read more

I've been wanting to visit Ambrogio15 for a while, and was hoping it would be really good. Unfortunately, the pizza wasn't what I was hoping for and was a disappointment. It was a Margherita Pizza with sausage and olives and while it tasted good, the crust was too soggy and floppy, and not crisp enough. The calamari was okay. The server didn't check in with us very much, but was courteous enough. Not sure if we'll return, but if we do, we'll ask for a crispier crust on the pizza. read more

Have nothing but a good review on this restaurant. The service was great, the ambience was so relaxing and the food was outstanding. The seasoning on the food was perfection. Enjoyed every moment of our time there most likely we'll be visiting again. read more

An amazing Italian spot at skydeck. As we entered the establishment we were greeted immediately by a friendly server who showed us to our table. The gentlemen explained the menu and his recommendations. We asked a few questions and he definitely answered them willingly and was really patient. We got the Hannibal Lecter which came with a variety of different meats. Wow the bread was so soft! Literally one of the best pizzas I've had. We also got the carbonara! Hubby didn't think he would like it but loved it so much! Can't wait to try other locations closer to us. I know they have a couple here in San Diego! You go to try this place. Food, service and ambiance are on point. read more

Wow. The pizza here was pretty good. Nice light crispy crust. The mistaken margherita was light and flavorful. The canneloni was also very good. The marinara sauce perfect. We also got the Pate e speck (the roasted potato one) and this one was much more hearty. Rhe prosciutto would have been better if it was slightly more crispy but it was flavorful and delicious. The potatoes and truffle was amazing. Definetly would go back Service was great also. read more

Eating the Mistaken margherita pizza almost transported me back to Italy. We stumbled upon a pizzeria in Naples where the locals eat. This particular pizza at Ameogio is very similar to the one in Naples where it's not overloaded with cheese; the crust is thin yet crispy, then bubbly at the edges. This is not for sharing - It's so light that I need to order 2 of these for myself. The potato and speck pizza is quite the opposite of the mistaken margherita. It's good but heavy. Eating this brought me back to reality that I'm in the US. The cannelloni was good even though it is vegetarian. Again not very American style that is overloaded with cheese and sauce. I personally would like more sauce added. read more

Glad to see that they have an eggplant parmigiana pizza right now. It's not super heavy, but it is more filling and a better value than the margarita pizza. I hope they keep it around as it's tasty! read more

This place is located inside Skydeck. We came in for a late lunch/early dinner. It wasn't busy at all so we got seated right away. We ordered Wagyu meatballs, pasta of the month special (risotto with seafood) and burrata and prosciutto pizza. The meatballs were weird. I've never had meatballs taste like bread. I couldn't taste the actual meat. The risotto dish had good flavor but it's a bit salty for my taste. The thin crust pizza was decent, too much cheese IMO. The cheese made pizza taste a bit soggy. Overall, the food was ok. read more

Margherita Pizza ($19) - This spot is rated the Best Pizza in San Diego! While I didn't agree, they did a great job at recreating authentic Italian pizzas. It didn't come close to the pizza we had in Italy, but I still enjoyed it. The highlight was the San Marzano tomato sauce, which had a distinct and fresh flavor that paired well with mozzarella and basil. read more

This is a yummy spot from some Italian food, I just don't think it is quite worth the price point. The food itself was good, but nobody in my group was overly excited for what they got. The place itself felt a bit run down, there was peeling paint on the wall. Service was good. We did make a reservation a head of time, however there was no wait in a Friday night. There are other places I prefer in the sky deck, but I still did have a fun time! read more

Located in Sky Deck in Del Mar, Ambrogio15 Del Mar is a cute eatery that provides a wide array of pizzas and other types of Italian food. With a friendly staff and amazing atmosphere, you are definitly going to enjoy this establishment. I went in as a walk-in group of 4, and we did not have to wait for a table. The staff was able to rearrange some things and we wwere sat immediatly. Our waiter recommended that for a group of 4, we should get at least 2-3 pizzas and an appatizer. However, 2 pizzas for a group of four was good enough for us. We ordered the Salsiccia, Asiago e Porcini Pizza ($23.50) and the Hannibal Lecter Pizza ($24). The Salsiccia, Asiago e Porcini Pizza was a lovely combination of sauce, sausage, cheese, and mushrooms. However, my one draw back on this was that the mushroom falvor was overpowering. As somebody who likes mushrooms, it felt like this pizza was doused in mushroom water, almost overpowering the other flavors on the pizza. The Hannibal Lecter Pizza was my favorite out of the two that we ordered. There was a great combination of flavors on this pizza and nothing was overpowering. Ambrogio15 Del Mar is a nice place to go if you're looking to share some food with people. With large portion sizes, everyone is easily well fed. My only drawback with this place is that I do not believe the prices accurately refelct the food. I felt the prices to be a little high for a pizza that had nothing too specail about it. Overall, Ambrogio 15 Del Mar is worth the try! read more

What a fabulous find! Started off with calamari and it was cooked to perfection. Then, we had the delicious lasagna and the sauce, bechemel and noodles were perfection. The homemade focaccia is ridiculous. I could have eaten the whole thing. Crispy and fluffy with the perfect amount of salt. To top it off, the server Phelipe was courteous, prompt and friendly. We will definitely come back. read more

I'm replacing my prior review with this detailed update. I worked in restaurants and hotels for decades. The truth is even the finest restaurants are run by human beings. We all make our occasional missteps. The question to my mind is when service at table falls through the cracks---what does the establishment do to set things right? Anything? We had a lovely time here today. Our waiter, "Ian" was professional yet kind and warm. Our pizzas (one their standard Margarita and the other their Eggplant Pizza) were both delicious and cooked to a turn. My daughter and I both ordered their wine flights. This was a fun and unusual way for her to try their different wines. I'll be back tomorrow to add more details. read more

Went to lunch and Caleb couldn't have been more hospitable. You don't need to go to the brewery, even though you can get everything sent to you.

This is a review I accidentally posted on the PB location on Sep 22, 2025, moving it while I remember! (I've been a few times since, it's still one of my favorite pizza places in town. And right next to my favorite ramen!) Repost --- So I went in during a slow hour last weekend because I was craving some comfort food and Italian style pizza is something I was craving. I hadn't had a really good pizza like this since Copenhagen (Pizzeria Luca). The second I got in and heard sparkling and the servers accent my brain took a few cycles to switch back to when I was traveling Germany and other European countries. Immediately knowing it wasn't tap water and snickering to myself about how Americans might not know this means it's not free water. But I'm super American, I like my still water! And I don't mind paying a little bit for a really crisp clean water over whatever is in the tap here. This isn't Oslo, after all! Digressing. Maybe it was the addition of the prosciutto and the extras, but it was definitely as good if not better than the pizza I had in Copenhagen. It tasted clean and I didn't regret the bottled water to go with it either. If you're looking for a good pizza place that can compete with European standards I can absolutely recommend it. (I mean just look at the pizza!) Service was perfect and friendly too. I'll have to be back with some of my relatives soon! read more

Amazing thin crust Milan pizza. The 5-cheese truffle pizza was so tasty. We enjoyed our food.

The difference between a few years ago and now was pretty big. The sauce was too acidic which pretty much ruined the pizza. And way too expensive for that. read more

I read the reviews and saw the photos of this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. The atmosphere is cute and the wait staff was excellent. We had the beet salad which was very tasty but a bit hard to eat. The flavors were great but it was arugula, beets, corn and burrata. Because the arugula is thin and the corn kernals are small it was hard to get them all together in the same bite and very hard to pick up just the individual corn kernals. I am not sure what to suggest....The flavor and freshness was excellent but just not easy to eat. I would definitely go back for this salad though. The pizza was VERY disappointing. I recently had an amazing pizza at another restaurant and was expecting something of that quality. This was not close. The crust was too thin. So thin it had to be eaten with a knife and fork. The crust that was not covered with sauce was super dry and hard. There was no chewiness to the crust at all. If the texture of the crust is not important to you the pizza was tasty. But if you are a crust connoisseur you will not like this pizza. It was like eating pizza on cardboard. We had the vegetarian and the sauce was excellent as well as the eggplant. There was not enough cheese of either type. The description said it had pesto on it but we saw a few green blobs of sauce on it and they were tasteless - not sure if that was the pesto or not. I would return as the salad was excellent but I would not get the pizza but would try a pasta dish. read more

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). read more

Decided to come here because a friend recommended it. I'm glad that I listened to that friend. I did make a reservation but I didn't need to as a lot of people came and just walked in. I got seated immediately because again, I had a reservation. I got handed a menu and asked if I wanted water and she offered me a couple options (flat or sparkling). Then I proceeded to wait for my friend to arrive. The room had red velvet accents, the seats were comfy, and the decor was minimal but effective. It was comfortable and lovely at the same time, if that even makes any sense. There were a few tables taken and there was just one server. She managed the room like a boss. When it was time for me to order, she came over. We ordered the caprese salad, Radiatori Salsiccia e Friarielli and Patate e Speck. Can you tell I just copied and pasted the names of the dishes? Haha. In any case, the caprese salad was large enough for four people to share and when I say share, I mean you'll get a couple slices of cheese and tomato. This was good because this was familiar. The pizza was great though we wish the speck was cut up because once you bite into it, the majority of the speck will follow your bite. The potato is thin and it makes you wonder how a potato goes so well on a pizza. The dough was soft and airy. The slices were quite large so just beware that one pizza can be shared unless you're really hungry and then you don't have to share. The pasta was excellent. It was my favorite. It was saucy and the sausage was plentiful (it's ground sausage) and there were some pieces of rapini but that's not the highlight of the dish. But it was just flavored so well and not salty at all. If I could have, I would have ordered two of these and take one home. Overall I enjoyed this place and have already made plans to come back only to try so many other dishes on the menu. Btw, the prices are on par with other restaurants that offer the same thing. But I feel like you're also paying for the ambience and I ain't mad at it as the food was excellent. read more

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! read more

1st time having dinner at this diner with friends. We decided to go there because we loved Truffle & wines. Excellent service (better than expected), delicious food (simple but flavorful) and very good wine selection. Additional credits to sommelier who explained the wines selection, portion and amount of food and wines offered, and the reasonable price for the package, plus the overall presentation of the foods (big applause to Chef and staffs).

Excellent Wine Selection: The Italian wine list was impressive, featuring many bottles I hadn't encountered before. This alone would be reason enough to visit. Pleasant Atmosphere: The restaurant has a nice ambiance, although it can get a bit noisy, Sky Deck has poor acoustics in my opinion. The Average: Disappointing Meatballs: The meatball appetizer was underwhelming, with tough meat and a lack of flavor. So-So Mushroom Pasta: The mushroom pasta was just okay, with a slightly chewy (al dente) texture. Service was pleasant. I probably will come back to just for a glass or wine or perhaps a happy hour (if there is one). read more

I don't usually eat Italian food because it makes me feel super heavy and inflamed. But the food here didn't make me feel bad! I started off with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon and my friend got a Moscow mule. For food, we ordered calamari and the burrata e prosciutto crudo pizza with arugula on top. The calamari was crispy and had a delicious dipping sauce to go with it. At first glance, the pizza looked huge and I thought we weren't going to finish it. I was wrong. It was so good and so thin. We ended up eating the entire thing! I didn't feel full and gross after like how regular pizzas make me feel. read more

The carbonara was very creamy and a bit over peppered -- very salty. The bacon bits were very crunchy which was nice but similarly very salty. Service was great and fast got our pasta within 10 minutes when we came at 5:30pm on a Sunday. Restaurant is located in Sky Deck where parking is plentiful. We sat downstairs but there is an upstairs option where we saw a few folks eating pizza up there with some drinks which looks pretty cute with the outside natural lighting. This review is mainly on the flavor of the carbonara dish but will try the pizza next time which they are known for :) read more

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. read more

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! read more

Nice Pizza and Pasta spot. If you into wine they have that too. I was greeted at third entrance by the concierge (fancy, this place is like in a packing district area upstairs). I ordered the spicy sausage pasta raditoni (I think that's how you say it) it was bomb af and I got a Margherita Pizza which was also lit ... thin crispy and flavorful. I recommend this place, but IYKYK this location has a few more restaurants I want to try we will be back for sure. Thank you read more
