What To Expect

Little Italy

"The Amici (Friend) House is a historic house in San Diego’s Little Italy—originally a single-family residence by the Giacalone family and later a residential rental property. Antonio Giacalone and his wife, Josephine were a part of the Italian fishing community in Little Italy and arrived in San Diego in 1916. Mr. Giacalone was considered one of the best fishermen during the 1920s and 1930s. The Giacalone family’s home was originally located on W. Date, between Columbia and India. In 2014, when the Piazza della Famiglia broke ground, the Little Italy Association partnered with HG Fenton to move the house to Amici Park on W. Date and Union Streets and preserve the historic home."

Little Italy

Little Italy is a chic, pedestrian-friendly neighborhood, packed with trendy cocktail bars, brewpubs and restaurants with bustling patios. Upscale clothing boutiques, indie music venues and quaint piazzas dot the area, while the weekly Little Italy Mercato Farmers’ Market draws crowds to its mix of produce, gourmet food and craft stalls. The green lawns of Waterfront Park have fountains, and offer views of the bay.

Anthony was an awesome guide. The food portions were large and delicious. We recommend skipping breakfast and lunch before you go on this tour. We learned lots of the culture/history. Anthony’s personal anecdotes were interesting and entertaining. He really enjoyed sharing his city with us.

Anthony was a wonderful guide and a master storyteller. Little Italy has a long and rich history and Anthony brought it to life for us with his lively stories and fun facts. The food was delicious and plentiful. It was a fantastic 3.5 hours!

The food was delicious and the guide was extremely personable, interesting, and engaging. I think 3.5 hours is a pretty long time for 2 restaurants and gelato. I wish we had eaten fewer things at the two restaurants, had visited a third restaurant, and had less time between the last restaurant and the gelato place. I also think it would be helpful to collect dietary restrictions upon registration.
