These are some of the concepts that make up the Ambrogio15 project.

The restaurant is excellent in all respects! When looking at the menu online, the Rollitini appetizer made our decision to book a reservation. Rollitini is one of our very. favorite Italian appetizers, and it's hard to find it on the menu elsewhere, and there's was excellent. We also enjoyed the Cannelloni as our entree. The Caesar salad was fresh, and the bread was melt in your mouth good. The ambience of the piano music in the bar area nearby was the perfect dinner accompaniment.
