All are welcomed to enjoy the top culinary offerings in San Diego’s Little Italy at the 10th annual Taste of Little Italy, presented by Birra Moretti. On June 13, nearly 40 restaurants in the neighborhood will open their doors to locals and visitors from 5-9 p.m. for the top foodie event of the summer. Local restaurants will share their most delectable dishes with attendees, including appetizers, entrees, desserts, beverages and more! From authentic Italian cuisine to incredible seafood options, Taste of Little Italy will offer a rare experience to taste all that Little Italy has to offer in one night!
Food enthusiasts have the opportunity to choose from two different Taste Passport routes — a south route and a north route. Every attendee will receive a Taste Passport, a guide mapping out all participating restaurants on their route and the eateries’ menu offerings. Each route will have around 20 restaurants that will offer unique but equally delicious food and beverage options. Attendees will get their passports stamped at each restaurant they visit in exchange for a taste.
Some participating restaurants on the north route include Ballast Point, Barbusa, Bencotto, The Crack Shack, Herb & Wood, Ironside and Mona Lisa Italian Foods. South route participating eateries include Born and Raised, Buon Appetito, Café Gratitude, Civico 1845, Filippi’s Pizza Grotto, Nonna, Queenstown Public House and many more!
Ticketholders will be able to enjoy their tastes while stroll through the scenic 48-square-block neighborhood, listening to live music and admiring the beautiful views of the San Diego Bay with family and friends. Attendees 21 and older will also get to experience a brand-new feature at this year’s Taste of Little Italy. The event’s presenting sponsor, Birra Moretti, will be offering sample tastings of their delicious Italian brews in the Piazza della Famiglia.
Don’t miss your chance to experience this year’s 10th annual Taste of Little Italy and don’t wait too long because tickets go fast! Tickets are $40 per route prior to the event and $45 at the door. To learn more about the Taste of Little Italy, visit bit.ly/2shZqCR.
