One of the most vibrant and safest neighborhoods of Downtown San Diego, Little Italy is where the past and present come together.
Once a thriving fishing neighborhood, this area nowadays is bustling with cafés, restaurants, craft beer breweries, urban wineries, art galleries, shops, boutique hotels and the beautiful Amici Park.
Every weekend, several streets in the neighborhood are closed to give space to the colorful Little Italy Mercato, a farmers market where locals shop for fresh products along with flowers, crafts and ready-made foods. Little Italy San Diego is also known for several fun festivals including Little Italy Festa each fall and the Mission Federal Art Walk each Spring.
