A Visit to a Little Italy Restaurant - Trattoria Fantastica
A visit to Little Italy in San Diego is a real treat, whether you choose to simply stroll and take in the atmosphere, or better yet dine, shop and explore all that Little Italy has to offer.
A recent visit was both a visual and a gustatory delight.
As a self-confessed foodie, dining out is always a pleasure. And finding a Little Italy Restaurant like Trattoria Fantastica where we could dine streetside to take in the views was a most pleasant surprise.
Trattoria Fantastica, one of 7 restaurants by the Busalacchi family, is a casual, comfortable eatery with a wonderful Sicilian-influenced dinner menu...a fine selection of antipasti, pastas, pizzas, seafood and other dishes. Dining and the service at Trattoria Fantastica FELT like Italy, and the food was excellent.
My pasta dish - Affumicato - was outstanding. Idaho Potato Gnocchi, Smoked Chicken, Sun Dried Tomato, Peas, and Pink Cream. We opted for take out cannoli because we had overindulged.
Little Italy's Trattoria Fantastica is a great value - a winning combination of charm rustic décor, great service and wonderful food in the heart of Little Italy.
Trattoria Fantastica is located at 1735 India Street just below the Little Italy arch. Call (619) 234-1735 or email (info@trattoriafantastica.com) for more information or reservations.

Little Italy in San Diego is wedged in between the 5 freeway, San Diego’s Lindbergh Field (the airport), Harbor Drive, and north of B Street. This business and ethnic community has existed since the 1920s and has undergone many changes as a result of changes in local industries (especially tuna) where many of the local families worked, and the building of I-5 (which dramatically shrunk the community by about 1/3).
Shoppers have lots to choose from, including clothing, art, lighting, glassware, furniture and of course food. If you are a foodie then Little Italy is worth putting on your list. In addition to a host of Italian restaurants, trattorias, and cafes, there is even a genuine British Pub – 
Little Italy has a farmer’s market as well, the Little Italy Mercato on Saturdays from 9 to 1:30 on Date Street, with over 50 farmers and other purveyors.
