Little Italy
India Street in Little Italy
Little Italy is a neighborhood in Downtown San Diego, California that was originally a predominately Italian fishing neighborhood. It has since been gentrified and now Little Italy is a scenic neighborhood composed mostly of Italian restaurants, Italian retail shops, home design stores, art galleries, and residential units.
Little Italy is one of the more active downtown neighborhoods and has frequent festivals and events. The neighborhood has low crime rates when compared with other neighborhoods in Downtown San Diego.
Historically, Little Italy has been a home to Italian fishermen. Many Italians moved to San Diego from San Francisco after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake in search of tuna and other deep-sea sport and commercial fish.
With the creation of the Little Italy Association in 1996, the neighborhood has been going through gentrification and has seen a renaissance as a restaurant district specializing in Italian food and memorabilia. Prior to gentrification, the neighborhood was mainly composed of low-density commercial businesses and single-family detached homes. Currently, the neighborhood is mainly composed of residential units, mostly mid-rises, high-rises, and lofts, with ground floor retail stores and a few commercial buildings.
