Zia's is a favorite of locals who say it is a place where the food inspires life, happiness and friendship. PO PAZZO Po (a little) Pazzo (crazy) Sure our name, Po Pazzo, is Italian, but the food pays homage to the best urban bar and grille. Po Pazzo is Little Italy's most elegant eatery. It is located in an historic building that used to be the Avalon Theatre--Little Italy's movie house in the old days. Our menu is filled with great appetizers, ample steaks, superb salads, homemade pastas in rich sauces and unique side dishes. Our wonderfully extensive bar serves the best wines and liquors. Eating out should be an experience: part entertainment, part theater, and of course, all fun. CAFE ZUCCHERO Cafe Zucchero is a grand Italian café that gets attention around the clock. Diners enjoy lingering over coffee and sumptuous desserts created by pastry maker Frank Busalacchi who was trained by a Sicilian master. Whether you are in the mood for pasta, seafood, chicken, or veal, this is the place. Also, make sure you treat your sweet tooth to one of the sinful desserts. Here you'll find some of the most incredible Italian delicacies not found anywhere else in San Diego. You would have to go to Sicily to find items such as the Cassata Siciliana, "the royal cake of Sicily," a beautiful creation of marzipan, sponge cake, ricotta, and fruits with a pretty floral design. It, like the pastries, desserts, Italian breads and gelato, are all made fresh on the premises. TRATTORIA FANTASTICA Trattoria Fantastica features a rustic décor and a relaxed country-style feel throughout the restaurant, including a delightful courtyard patio with stunning Bougainvillea with purplish/pink leaves.

The entrées show the Sicilian influence and fill the restaurant with great aromas.
