A touch of Sicily
in the heart of Old Town.
Trattoria Don Pietro was born from a simple desire: to bring the vibrant, sun-soaked coastal energy of Southern Italy to San Diego.
Every morning, our kitchen rolls fresh pasta by hand. Whether you are joining us for a crisp Aperol Spritz on the patio or settling in for a rich, late-night meal, you are part of the family.
