Little Italy, Historic Italian district in Downtown San Diego, United States
Little Italy features a collection of patio cafes, international restaurants, art galleries, shops, and modern residential buildings along India Street.
Italian immigrants established San Diego's tuna fishing industry in the early 1900s, with the Pacific Tuna Canning Company employing over 1000 workers by 1930.
The Italian Cultural Center promotes language classes, workshops, and events while the weekly Mercato farmers market brings together local vendors and producers.
The neighborhood extends from West Laurel Street to West Ash Street, bordered by Interstate 5 and the San Diego Bay, with India Street as its main artery.
The Waterfront Bar, established in 1934, marks the original waterfront location where fishing boats once docked during the neighborhood's maritime period.
