Excellent location in Como. Outdoor seating. The pizza was ok . They brought it in unsliced. We…read morerequested server to bring it back sliced. He resisted asking us to use the butter knife that he gave us. We insisted abs he brought it back with " slice marks ". So cuts were topically made but pizza was still uncut. We had to use the ineffective butter knife to cut the pizza which ended up destroying it . Sandwich was good. The gelato was excellent. Ordered coffee which was decent.

We had ordered coffees which were very bitter (almost tasted burnt) and the service was super slow. We also ordered a donut (not cream filled) - we liked the mild lemon flavor to it but felt there was way too much sugar on it. I tried scraping some of the sugar off to put in the coffee to cut the bitterness but even that didn't help. Would recommend stopping somewhere else instead!

Bring your translation book because English won't get you far here, as it should be. You're in Italy.

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.
