Taste of Little Italy 2026

“Anyone else going to Taste of Little Italy 2026? Let…”

Taste of Little Italy takes over the neighborhood for two evenings in June — a self-guided progressive dining event where San Diego's Little Italy restaurants open their doors for special tastings, limited menus, and the kind of street-level energy that only happens when an entire neighborhood decides to eat together at once.

Little Italy is one of the most walkable and food-dense neighborhoods in San Diego, and Taste turns it into a genuine community event: restaurants collaborate, chefs come out front, and the regulars mix with new visitors who have never made it past the waterfront. The event draws a crowd that is interested in local food culture rather than just proximity to the harbor.

India Street and the surrounding blocks of Little Italy, San Diego. The event runs across both evenings, Tuesday June 16 and Wednesday June 17, from 4 to 8 PM. Tickets are purchased per restaurant or as a neighborhood pass depending on the format for the year. Parking is available in the neighborhood garages or take the trolley to the County Center/Little Italy station. The neighborhood is walkable — wear comfortable shoes and plan to explore between restaurants.
