Little Italy is such a fun area of San Diego, and possibly the most well known. Situated a short cab from the airport, this could easily be a car free vacation. There is a trolley that runs right down the waterfront for easy transit between Little Italy and The Gaslamp Downtown area.

Stay

Hotel Indigo San Diego-Gaslamp Quarter, an IHG Hotel
@objectsinmotion
This is a great little hotel in the heart of Little Italy with updated rooms. The bar upstairs has a nice view of the harbor.

Eat

Tacos El Gordo
@objectsinmotion
The best one is in Chula Vista on Broadway, but if you’re not ready to trek that far take advantage of this convenient location. Order many adobada tacos and an Orange Bang.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I am a Southern California native, mother of two, military spouse and travel lover currently located in Naples, Italy. I’ve lived and visited many different places and I hope that my travels will help you plan your next great adventure! My guides focus on travel that the whole family can enjoy and feature some of the great places the military has sent us, as well as our own travels. Having lived in many different places, I have local knowledge of a wide variety of places. Two of my favorite recent travels are a month long family trip to Australia and Singapore and a multi-generational Caribbean cruise. I love that some of my kids first core memories will be of our international travels. It is so heart warming to watch them make friends at a foreign playground and having an interaction with a person that doesn’t speak their same language. Now, living in Italy we have many more opportunities for travel, both throughout Europe and locally near Naples, Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast. We have enjoyed discovering new foods, exploring language and culture. My youngest has an egg allergy that we manage so food and language intertwine often.
