"Our business district is rooted in the toil of immigrants and the perseverance and optimism of a new group of business owners. The strength of their faith and our proximity to the waterfront is what has supported families in Little Italy for generations." - Marco Li Mandri, Chief Executive Administrator of The Little Italy Association of San Diego
The heart of San Diego’s Little Italy is the Piazza della Famiglia, a 10,000 square-foot Italian-inspired piazza that provides a charming backdrop for any special event with breathtaking views of the San Diego bay and an ambience that emulates Italy. Whether it’s an intimate themed dinner or a large reception for a corporate event, book your next event at this beautiful location. The space is flexible and unlike any event venue in San Diego, providing you with the opportunity to do exclusive buyouts from the surrounding restaurants.
The stunning piazza stretches one city block and is a closed pedestrian corridor lined with stone pavers and offers color-changing LED lighting on its dramatic, tiled fountain, as well as festoon overhead lights that can be programed as you wish to fit any event theme. The venue provides free WiFi, multiple power outlets, semi-private restrooms and holds an alcoholic beverage license—making planning bar service easy.
Choose to work with a Little Italy restaurant or one of San Diego’s amazing catering professionals at the Piazza della Famiglia. The opportunities for the most memorable event in the Piazza della Famiglia are endless. Our professional, experienced venues team will assist you in the planning and logistics for your special occasion.
