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.

What a tremendous food tour. Anthony the guide was fabulous. He's part of the community so he spoke with love and an interesting wealth of history. Everyone on the street knew him ; there fore they also greeted us as family making the tour even more fun. The food was phenomenal. Top notch at every stop. I highly recommend this tour. And I will definitely be taking it again and introducing my friends and relatives to Anthony's warm charm and expert taste in restaurants!

Anthony was one of the best tour guides we have from our past experiences. Not only that he was very friendly and funny, but also very knowledgeable with Little Italy history. The dinning experiences was the greatest with very unusual Italian cuisine.

Anthony was an amazing tour guide! His passion for the italian culture and history made the experience so special and memorable. He literally transported us back in time and had a story for each nook and cranny. The food was out of this world, and we are so happy to have taken this tour or else we would’ve never thought to order what Anthony ordered for us or to go to the places he took us too! We left with full bellies and happy hearts. Thank you Anthony for making my husband’s 26th birthday so special! We will DEFINITELY be coming back for more!
