Here are a few ways you can enjoy the first month of the year in Little Italy and experience Italy without having to stray too far from home!<\/p>\n

Start the day with a cup of liquid gold at an Italian caf\u00e9 <\/strong>\u2014 San Diego\u2019s Little Italy is plentiful of Italian coffee hot spots. Swing by Caffe Italia for a robust cup of espresso made with Lavazza coffee beans imported from Italy. Or if you want to sip your cappuccino in a cozy cottage, grab your java from Little Italy\u2019s hidden gem, Heartsleeves.<\/p>\n

Peruse the public spaces <\/strong>\u2014 There are several piazzas to choose from in Little Italy to relax and enjoy the mild San Diego weather. The newest is Piazza Pescatore, where locals and visitors can eat their lunch al fresco and admire the Piazza\u2019s bronze statue.<\/p>\n

Another is the Piazza Basilone, created to honor Gunnery Sgt. John Basilone and the \u201cboys that never came home\u201d from the wars in the 20th century. This public space is a local favorite for families and veterans to gather.<\/p>\n

Satisfy your sweet tooth with a scoop (or two) of gelato <\/strong>\u2014 One of Little Italy\u2019s most well-known delicacies is the gelato, and Pappalecco is one of the places to get it. This local Tuscan caf\u00e9 offers more than 16 flavors of gelato, including a signature Pappalecco flavor that\u2019s made with chocolate, amaretto and cookies. A scoop of Pappalecco gelato will take your taste buds on an international trip.<\/p>\n

Bond with your loved ones over family-style dining <\/strong>\u2014 If you\u2019re in the mood for classic Italian comfort food, there\u2019s plenty of places in Little Italy to stop at for some antipasti, pizzas and pasta to share for a memorable evening of Italian values, which include food and family. Check out Nonna, Filippi\u2019s, Mona Lisa or one of the many others.<\/p>\n
