About Little Italy
Little Italy is a neighborhood just north of downtown San Diego, California.
Close to many businesses and new residences, Little Italy is an increasingly
popular destination for those in town on vacation, or business people out for
lunch.
Development
In the earlier part of the 20th century, Little Italy was a home to many of the
Italian and Portuguese fishermen that sailed from San Diego Bay in search of
tuna and other deep-sea sport and commercial fish.
With the construction of Interstate 5 through the middle of the area in the
early 1970s, the neighborhood was disrupted, but has seen a recent renaissance
as a restaurant district specializing in Italian food and memorabilia. There has
recently been a great deal of loft and condo construction in that area, and it
is close to the San Diego downtown Santa Fe Train Depot.
Community Groups
The neighborhood is quiet and well maintained by a neighborhood organization
that looks after trash collection, decorations, and special events. The Little
Italy board also maintains aesthetic standards on new construction, mandating at
least pseudo-mediterranean architecture.
