About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Vegan-friendly
  • Neighborhood gem
A new generation of Italian cuisine - fresh, light and authentic. By using proper cooking techniques, our flavors are natural and pure. Our menu is a homage to our region Calabria and southern Italian roots reflecting what is being served in Italy today. You can also find an extensive vegan menu that incorporates many of the best Italian dishes. We have been the first restaurant in the USA to have a full Italian Vegan menu since 2015! We believe in sustainability, both in our food and in the design of our restaurant. While our menu focuses on locally grown and seasonal ingredients, our bar and dining areas were created using reclaimed, natural materials. Nothing goes to waste at Civico 1845!

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Pietro Gallo - Enrico De Santis

From the OpenTable editors: This sustainably minded Little Italy anchor is an ode to all things Calabrian. Executive chef Pietro Gallo whips up Southern Italian seafood staples plus a rare all-vegan menu that includes lasagna with meat-free ragu—these are nonna’s classics reinterpreted for San Diego’s health-conscious crowd.

    Meh. The bread in the bag is weird. The short rib raviolis were gross. The shrimp pesto is good though. Very loud. Server seemed annoyed he had customers with a 8pm reso

    Honestly not the best Italian food I’ve had, but not the worst. I expected better than what we received, especially since we ordered the chef’s special and I didn’t think it was anything extraordinary.
