Little Italy San Diego

Little Italy in San Diego is rapidly evolving as an inner city neighborhood that's perfect to live in, shop, dine, or visit. The Little Italy offers great views of the bay, art and cultural festivities, and great food.

The nearby street sign for Little Italy, created in 1999, signals that the area is the heart and soul of San Diego's inner community. The sign is truly a signal of peace, and can be found on India Street between Date and Fir.

Each and every year, there are nearly a dozen festivals held in Little Italy. There are tons of holiday celebrations, music, and art expo's. During this time, Little Italy comes alive like never before.

The heart of Little Italy is India Street. This street has plenty of outdoor cafes, restaurants, galleries, and specialty shops. Nearby Amici Park offers a playground for the Washington Elementary School and a community park that's complete with a bocce ball court.

Bigger than the Little Italy neighborhoods in New York and San Francisco, San Diego's Little Italy keeps getting bigger and better. The waterfront district of San Diego is bouncing back with Little Italy, proving to be a great place for tourist attraction.
