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.

Honestly, this was one of the best tours I've ever been on. My wife and I have been on tours in Italy, and this was just as great, if not better. Anthony breathed so much life into the places we visited and the food we ate. He's passionate about the neighborhood he lives in, and he knows so many people as we toured. My wife is from Florence, Italy, and she was also so impressed with the food and desserts we ate. Very well organized tour, and we shared a lot of stories and laughs. Highly, highly recommended!! Grazie Anthony!!
