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.

    Party of five for Thanksgiving Experience. It was a set menu with the choice of entree and everything else served family style. Everything was fantastic! The food was plenty and timed just right to actually enjoy everything and not feel rushed. The ambience was pleasant and relaxed even in fine dining. The vegetarian mushroom paella was absolutely amazing! I could be a vegetarian on this dish alone, hah. The swordfish and the prime rib were amazing too. We had a great time and will absolutely come back to Ponto Lago when in town. Thank you for making our holiday special !

    Very creative menu with natural sourced food. Our table had the duck taco appetizers that were amazing along with a chopped beet salad, apple and burrata cheese appetizer, and the tuna crudo. The latter was the only weak link among the appetizers since the sauce over-powered the tuna. I had the scallops which was one of the best preparations of scallops I've ever had. Our server was excellent--informative, attentive, and never intrusive. An all around great dinner meal.
