Over the past five years, San Diego’s Milano Five Group has made a name for itself with hyper-authentic Milanese food at its popular Ambrogio15 pizzerias in Pacific Beach, Little Italy and, now, Del Mar.

But Semola, the latest restaurant from two Milano Five co-founders, Andrea Burrone and Giacomo Pizzigoni, is Milanese, by way of South America, the United States, France, South Korea and Japan. Subtitled “an Ambrogio15 Gastronomy Project,” Semola opened in May in the former PrepKitchen restaurant in La Jolla.
