Little Italy is not only the best neighborhood to visit, but also the best place to live in all of San Diego. Offering the finest restaurants all within walking distance. Located in the northwest end of downtown San Diego, Little Italy is a charming neighborhood with a rich history. Once a fishing village that made San Diego the “tuna capital” of the west, the neighborhood is now a vibrant destination filled with a colorful variety of local boutiques, art galleries, outdoor cafés, gorgeous hotels, the finest Italian restaurants, and more. Here are just a few of the many reasons that make Little Italy such a wonderful place to call home.
