This July marks a major milestone for one of Little Italy San Diego’s most recognizable dining destinations: Barbusa celebrates its 10-year anniversary. Since opening in 2016, the restaurant has become a defining part of the neighborhood’s modern culinary identity, known for its high-energy atmosphere, Sicilian-inspired dishes, house-made pastas, and commitment to the family-centered hospitality that has long defined the Busalacchi name. A decade later, it remains one of the most in-demand reservations in Little Italy, continuing to play a role in defining the neighborhood’s national reputation as a dining destination. Over four decades, the family has expanded its footprint along Little Italy, building a collection of concepts that have grown alongside the neighborhood itself, including Barbusa, Nonna, Lala, and Café Zucchero. Each restaurant reflects a different expression of the family’s culinary heritage while reinforcing their long-standing presence in the community. As attention continues to grow around Little Italy San Diego, Barbusa’s 10-year anniversary offers a timely moment to reflect on its impact in the neighborhood and its place as a staple in San Diego’s culinary scene – not to mention a favorite of many local celebrities. HOURS: Lunch: Saturday – Sunday: 11:30am – 4pm Dinner: Sunday – Thursday: 11:30am – 10pm Friday – Saturday: 11:30am – 10:30pm Barbusa on Facebook / Instagram
