Few businesses better represent Italian American San Diego than Mona Lisa Italian Foods in Little Italy. Founded in 1956 by the Costa family, this market began as a small neighborhood grocery serving Italian immigrant families working in San Diego’s tuna fishing industry.

I first discovered San Diego’s Little Italy almost by accident. Back in the early 2000s, when I began dreaming about creating a travel guide focused on culture and heritage, I came across a flyer for the now-discontinued Little Italy Festa. I was intrigued. I knew about Italian communities in North Beach in San Francisco, and maybe a few pockets in Los Angeles or Hollywood — but San Diego? To me, San Diego had always meant Spanish missions, Mexican heritage, and coastal California culture. I never would have guessed it had a “Little Italy,” much less a historic and still-active Italian American community.
The more I researched, the more surprised I became. What I found was not just a neighborhood, but a story.
San Diego’s Little Italy dates back to the late 1800s, when Italian fishermen — many from Sicily and Genoa — settled along the waterfront near what is now India Street. They built homes, opened markets, and launched fishing boats into San Diego Bay. For decades, the tuna industry dominated the area, and Italian families became central to the city’s maritime economy. Names like the Vicari, Ghio, Pennisi, and others helped shape the neighborhood. By the mid-20th century, Little Italy was a tight-knit working-class community filled with bakeries, social clubs, and Italian language heard on nearly every block.
Then came decline. Interstate 5 cut through the neighborhood. The tuna industry faded. Families moved to the suburbs. By the 1970s and 1980s, Little Italy had nearly disappeared.
But it didn’t.
Community leaders, Italian American organizations, and local residents worked to revive the neighborhood in the 1990s. What emerged is what I discovered years later — a vibrant cultural district that blends historic identity with modern San Diego energy.
That discovery changed me. I decided not just to write about the community, but to become part of it — attending events, visiting organizations, meeting community leaders, and helping share its story.
And that’s why I always tell people: Little Italy isn’t just a place to visit — it’s a place to experience.
When I walk through Little Italy today, I see more than restaurants and shops. I see layers of history. I see fishermen’s stories, immigrant dreams, and a cultural revival that worked.
I like starting on India Street, where outdoor patios, Italian flags, and bustling sidewalks immediately set the tone. The Piazza della Famiglia often hosts festivals, live music, or just people relaxing with espresso. The Little Italy Food Hall offers a modern take on Italian-inspired dining. Nearby, historic churches and community spaces reflect the neighborhood’s roots.
For me, some of the best things to do include:
Little Italy is also incredibly walkable. I often recommend visitors park once and explore on foot. You can easily spend a full day — or even a weekend — just enjoying the atmosphere.
One of the biggest surprises for me was realizing that Italian heritage in San Diego doesn’t stop in one neighborhood. Over time, I discovered Italian cultural institutions throughout the region — from Balboa Park to local societies, archives, and community organizations.
That’s when I realized this wasn’t just a travel destination. It was a living community.
Today, when I share Little Italy with others, I’m really sharing something bigger: a gateway into San Diego’s Italian American story. Whether you’re traveling, researching heritage, looking for culture, or even thinking about moving here, Little Italy offers something unique — history, food, community, and identity all in one place.
And for me, it all started with a simple discovery — one I almost missed.

Why visit: This is the central gathering place of Little Italy — a 10,000-square-foot European-style piazza with a fountain, seating, and events throughout the year.

One of my favorite stops in Little Italy — and one that many visitors miss — is Amici House, a historic Italian fisherman’s home that has been transformed into a living cultural center for the Italian community. The house originally belonged to the Giacalone family, Sicilian immigrants who were part of San Diego’s tuna-fishing era. It was moved in 2014 to Amici Park and preserved as a historic site.
Today, the house is run by the Convivio Society, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting Italian arts, heritage, and community in San Diego.
When I visit Amici House, it feels less like a museum and more like a small Italian cultural home:
Visitors can explore museum-style displays about Little Italy’s fishing history and immigrant life, with walls covered in photographs and cultural artifacts.
Right next to the house is Caffè Caritàzza / AMICIBAR, a nonprofit café operated by Convivio. It’s designed as a community gathering space focused on coffee, culture, and conversation.
The café area includes:
The café is described as a heritage visitor center and cultural hub, combining a coffee bar, shop, and event space in one location.
Amici House regularly hosts:
The house and adjacent park are used as an intimate venue for concerts, community gatherings, and cultural programming.

I always tell visitors: if you want to understand real Italian San Diego, this is the place. Restaurants show the food — but Amici House shows the culture.
It’s quiet, personal, historic, and genuinely community-run. You can grab an espresso, browse the mini-museum, talk with volunteers, and learn about San Diego’s Italian story — all in one stop.
