Little Italy, San Diego, California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Little Italy is one of the neighborhood in 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.
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 and San Diego International Airport.
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.
