Behind the Scenes Little Italy Tour

760-736-1138

Included admission free with the card.

Description

A thrilling experience (with your guides Anthony and Valentina of Little Italy Tours) that will take guests into a world of Little Italy neighborhood history. From 1871 to the 21st century, the story of Little Italy, San Diego has been one of hope and despair, growth and decline, genesis and exodus and today--renaissance. You will laugh, maybe even shed a tear, but you will never forget the tale of the local Italians who labored to build one of San Diego's great industries of old.

Cafe Zucchero will offer a free dessert with the purchase of an entree. Joe and Lisa Busalacchi created this Italian cafe-style concept, and you'll find that this delightful setting gets attention around the clock. Casual and spirited food is served. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served daily. Diners enjoy lingering over coffee and sumptuous desserts created by pastry maker Frank Busalacchi who was trained by a Sicilian master. Whether you are in the mood for pizza, pasta, seafood, chicken, or veal, this is the place. Also, make sure you treat your sweet tooth to one of the sinful desserts. Tour duration is 2 hours.
