TASTE OF LITTLE ITALY
Few San Diego burghs have had such a culinary upswing over the last few years like Little Italy. From the new Milanese force of Bencotto/Monello to Prepkitchen and La Villa, the new blood is pushing it past its laurel-resting traditional Italian. At their Taste, Craft & Commerce will roll out some hot beignets with chocolate-bourbon sauce, Monello will hand out paper cones of their young Italian cheese shavings (raspa dura) and good ole Filippie’s will dish their iconic pies.

MAKE A WISH ROLL OUT THE BARREL
Little could be more admirable than finding kids with life-threatening illnesses and creating an ultimate life experience for them. Make-A-Wish is godly in their work. So if you’re looking to get out for the night and give a couple hundred dollars to a good charity, this is it. Tastings from BICE, Sea Rocket Bistro, Puesto< Ruth’s Chris, French Gourmet, Tequila Fortaleza, Mission Brewery, Ofilia Vineyards, Green Flash Brewing, Stone, etc.—all served at the city’s ultimate outdoor summer venue, Humphrey’s.
