Charming
Neighbourhood gem
Vegan-friendly

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.

Reservamos para cenar en la noche de fin de año. Afortunadamente conseguimos reservación, realmente valió la pena. Para empezar la ensalada de pomodoro, simplemente espectacular. De fuerte pedimos varios platillos, todos deliciosos.

We went to Civico 1845 to celebrate my dads 80th birthday. The service and food were wonderful, the ambiance was very, very loud. We had to shout to talk at the table.

The bread and pesto was very good. Took a little while for our server to come over and greet us. Everything after that was very prompt. We got the carpaccio appetizer & two pasta dishes. Large portions, we got to-go boxes. It was good but nothing great. There’s so many little Italy restaurants it was hard to choose, we would pick a different one next time.

What a bummer! I think they must have new chef because the food is terrible and It comes cold to the table. This restaurant used to be my favorite in little Italy because the food used to be outstanding! I mean outstanding! The focaccia used to be delicious and warm. Not anymore. What a let down because I just introduced it to some friends of mine tonight and I was so embarrassed. I kept talking it up but now I look like a liar. So disappointed. I think they need to make some BIG changes to get their mojo back.

Excellent food and wine options. The fresh focaccia was wonderful and the basil added to the accompanying olive oil was a great touch. My wife said the Caprese was very fresh and the best she’s had. The Pappardelle Brasato was recommended by our server and did not disappoint. Service was attentive without being intrusive.
