1-35 of 39 Attractions in Little Italy
Established in the 1920s, harborside Little Italy is Downtown San
Diego’s oldest continuous business district; yet the community is a
world apart from the city’s taxing white-collar hustle. Although much
of its industry and architecture stems from its Mediterranean namesake,
it maintains a flair that is distinctly San Diegan, as well as a strong
sense of community. Known as an epicenter for epicures, the area’s
eating options range from grab-and-go meatball subs to fine Italian
dining, both classic and innovative. The area is also home to many art
galleries and other creative endeavors. Among many other celebrations,
Little Italy hosts a popular ArtWalk each year, drawing in artists and
art-loving attendees from all over the county.
