From the owner Leonardo Landini "When I decided to open Ristorante Illando, I had a vision in my head...my cozy house back in Firenze, Italy; my family dining table filled with the food I grew up with. Now I can surround you with the warmth of my Italian home and an authentic Italian meal here at Illando. Benvenuti e buon appetito a tutti!!"

An authentic but unique Milano gourmet pizza, a special dough recipe, an innovative pizza-making process, high-quality Italian ingredients, a holistic approach to the food and beverage world, a focus on sustainable agriculture and farming, along with a deep love for Milano, where Andrea, Giacomo, and Luca grew up, and for San Diego, where they studied, worked and became who they are now. These are some of the concepts that make up the Ambrogio15 project. The idea was born in both Milano and San Diego, in the minds and the hearts of three young Italian guys who decided to leave the corporate world to begin a new adventure of passion, friendship, and a bit of foolishness.

Baci is a Bay Park classic. It is obvious by the clientele; the restaurant was jammed yet the wait staff were moving at light speed taking care of everyone. Tony, the owner, waits tables, pours wine, fills all the gaps when he sees them!

The restaurant itself is gorgeous- the olive velvet banquets are super elegant. My waiter was Austin and he provided excellent service. I ordered the beet salad, the steamed buns and the duck. All the dishes were plated beautifully and they were delicious. The steamed buns were rich and comforting and the duck was fork tender and melted in my mouth. For dessert I tried the chocolate cremeaux- it was so decadent! I would highly recommend having dinner at Animae.
