I Panini di Ambra in Little Armenia

May 15, 2008

BAKED ITALIAN

Four years ago, Milan native Ambra Ditonno started catering video and commercial shoots for such high-profile clients as Justin Timberlake and McDonald's. In March, the self-taught baker opened I Panini di Ambra, a retail storefront specializing in pizza al taglio (by the cut), focaccia-like rectangles patterned after the slices she ate on the Italian Riviera as a girl. Pizza Sardinara is a specialty from San Remo, featuring fresh tomato sauce, black olives and oregano. There's also panini on house-baked focaccia, containing meats and cheeses imported from Italy. 5633 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, (323) 463-1200
