Outdoor Dining in Old Town San Diego
San Diego is built for eating outside. Old Town, with its mix of balconies, courtyards, and patios, might be one of the best neighborhoods to do it in. Don Pietro adds an Italian patio to that mix—fire pits, twinkle lights, and open-air tables.
Patio energy, Sicilian food
Expect spritzes, coastal-inspired plates, and a room that feels like a Sicilian courtyard dropped into Old Town. It works just as well for a casual weeknight dinner as it does for birthdays and group celebrations.
Make a night of it
Start with a walk through Old Town, land on the patio at Don Pietro for dinner, then wander through the neighborhood under the lights. On cooler nights, the fire pits and heaters keep things comfortable without losing that open-air feel.
