Little Italy District

Our San Diego Local Expert says:

Parking is a real challenge in Little Italy, as it has become a popular residential district with a plethora of new condominiums and trendy restaurants and shops. Be sure not to let your parking meter expire--tickets are $4!

Description:

  • Just outside of Gaslamp, San Diego welcomes some of the most distinctive and delicious culture in the area - Italy. Though the strip downtown is small, Little Italy's street sign is flavored with just the right amount of garlic, Italian music and festivals that make any visit fell like you're away from home. Little Italy houses some of the area's finest Italian restaurants, but additionally you will find one of a kind art galleries, fountains reminiscent of the Tuscany countryside and holiday festivals that welcome all. The district is extremely small, lining over a few city streets in the heart of downtown San Diego, but it makes up for its small figures with extremely wide taste and heart.

  • San Diegans of Italian ancestry are working hard to restore and revitalize this seaside district just off downtown San Diego and the results are fabulous. Visitors will enjoy the plethora of Italian markets and bakeries, may watch a game of bolla at the local park or light a candle at the Our Lady of the Rosary Church where Italian fishermen of San Diego's once-massive tuna fleet used to seek blessings. In October, a three-day festival brings 50,000 visitors to the area. Credit card acceptance varies.
