Service was efficient and friendly. I got the green summer drink which was prosecco, oj, pineapple, vodka, strawberry syrup and was super refreshing. I ordered the lasagna and it was really delicious. We got two pizzas. One was the pizza buffalo and another was the pizza olivevina and bressaoa (sp?). The olivevina pizza had no sauce. This was basically a salad on top of focaccia bread! Overall, this was a great lunch spot to have a bite to eat while walking in the city and looking at the view of lake como.

We had four people and had to split up 2 and 2 to fit, which was not a problem at all. The wait staff was very attentive and helpful despite there being a very small room to operate. I got the house special, which was white pasta with pork served in a cabbage leaf and it was excellent. My girlfriend got the mushroom risotto and it was a little undercooked but still delicious. Everything was reasonably priced and overall we were very happy with the experience

We had about an hour to kill in Lake Como before we had to meet our tour group. Lucky for us,…read moreL'Ambrosiano happened to be across the street from our meeting point. It also couldn't have looked more inviting. We chose to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. It wasn't a sunny day but the outdoor seating did provide shelter from the misty rain. The waiter took our order (one Valtellinese pizza) and shortly our food arrived. I found it a nice touch that the kitchen split the pizza in half so we could share it easily. We were also given plates and silverware. L'Ambrosiano is no ordinary cafe. It's a bit classier. The pizza was delicious and covered amply in braseola and mushrooms. The sauce was slightly sweet and brought the whole pizza together. I did enjoy eating my pizza with a fork and knife, a far cry from folding it in half and eating with hands New York style. What a great way to enjoy Como. It topped off our morning of silk scarves, cloud bread, gardens, and farmers markets.

The food here is great. Pizza was more expensive here than other places and tasted fantastic, but…read morenot more so than any of the other pizza places I ate at. The spicy salami was actually spicy and was extra crisped which is actually how I prefer it. The bruschetta was very good and big portion. I give it three stars because it's more expensive than any other pizza I ate in Italy and there was nothing to justify that - the food was simple nothing fancy, it was not memorable, and I wouldn't go back.
