Trattoria Don Pietro

San Diego • Sicilian

Sicilian Food in San Diego

Sicily sits at the crossroads of Italy and the sea. The cooking there leans bright and coastal—tomato, citrus, olive oil, herbs, seafood, and a little bit of heat. Don Pietro pulls from that point of view and drops it into Old Town San Diego.

What that looks like on the table

Expect pastas that balance richness with acidity, seafood specials that feel at home by the coast, and a bar program built around spritzes and citrus. It’s the kind of menu that makes you want to linger for just one more course.

Plan a visit

If you're craving something that feels a little different from the usual Italian, make a night of it in Old Town and let Don Pietro be your Sicilian stop.
