Our Mini Victorian House was built in the early 1900's and was lovingly restored in 2005. The Italian Bed and Breakfast has 4 beautifully decorated guests rooms, all with private baths. Located in the heart of Little Italy it is easy to walk to the restaurants and shops and the local Farmers Market. We serve a hot breakfast at 9am, and for those leaving early an expanded continental is also available. Sweet treats are always on the buffet along with hot teas and cocoa. Enjoy the afternoon on the scenic veranda which overlooks the city with views to the waterfront. We are conveniently located to the Freeway systems and the airport and downtown San Diego. A fun variety of transportation is available from the trolley, to the Yellow Go cars, electric bikes, pedicabs and Segways....all part of the green transportation.

5 out of 5In the middle of Little Italy
December 08, 2012
Very Nice close to shops and resturants, we walked to the ports from here,Love this place will come back , great for small weddings...
3.6 out of 5Great weekend getaway
November 11, 2012
Location is great and while many would complain about the noise (car, trolley, trains, and yes planes), the comfort and home away from home feel far outshadow the noise. Top it off with close proximity to great restaurants, art galleries, and a view of the harbor, The Little Italian Bed & Breakfast has earned a place at the top of our list of places to stay in San Diego. Ask for Chef Sunny....he makes a great spinach and mushroom omelet or pancakes and is very accommodating for us picky eaters...his positive temperament and "Sunny" personality are in and of itself reason to come back. Thank you for a great time, Rena' and Denyse
4.4 out of 5A hop skip and a jump to Little Italy
October 26, 2012
We were looking for a nicely priced B&B near Little Italy for the weekend and happened upon The Italian. It's basically a house with four bedrooms. The common areas are very nicely appointed with a little living room in front and a dining room that's attached to the kitchen. The only thing that was somewhat strange was check-in was across the street at a hotel. And, we had an issue with our key and understanding which room was ours. The other guests were very friendly and the overall experience was really great. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who has experience staying in these types of accommodations. We had the least expensive room, which has a bathroom down the hall. All other rooms have their own bathroom (which I'd recommend).
2.0 out of 5Disappointing for the money
July 08, 2012
This B & B had no hospitality. Our room was not ready, no one to greet us or show us to our room. If we wanted something we had to go across the street to the Harborview Motel. I would get more attention at a Motel 6. It felt like an overflow for the less than desirable Motel the owners run. For the money I would expect a little warm hospitality and at least working light bulbs and kleenex in the room. We were very disappointed.

4.6 out of 5I love this place.
April 26, 2012
I have stayed here several times, and will continue to make it my refuge in San Diego. Mary was a phenomenal innkeeper and Ashley is equally personable, welcoming, helpful, and an incredible chef. The breakfasts are gourmet! This place truly embodies the "make yourself at home" mentality. The location is excellent, and Little Italy is a great neighborhood to explore with tons of shops and delicious eateries. Bottom line: don't pass up this bed and breakfast if you are staying in San Diego!
4.0 out of 5Beautiful!!!
February 24, 2012
Check in time was 3pm but room was not ready until 4pm. The only morning we had breakfast, by time we got it, everything was cold. But I don't feel it was our chefs fault. Another guest requested breakfast 30 mins earlier than everyone so I think that contributed to the problem. Other than that, I loved staying here!!!
4.2 out of 5Nice Relaxing Weekend
February 18, 2012
It was a great weekend for our engagement. Nice and relaxing get away. The walls are little thin so you could hear someone getting up in the middle of the night or the TV in the next room. The breakfast was excellent.
4.0 out of 5Ashley does a great job!
February 06, 2012
We stayed at the Italian B&B recently and enjoyed our visit. Ashley, the chef, is a lovely person and made us a wonderful breakfast every morning. We enjoyed the common spaces and meeting other guests at the breakfast table. The owner, Jay, was totally absent, in fact the few times he appeared on the property, he did not introduce himself or inquire about our stay. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again but if you are uncomfortable on your or want a lot of attention from staff then this is not the place for you.
