When San Diegans are craving no frills, authentic Italian food, there’s no better spot than Chef Mario Cassineri’s Ciccia Osteria.The cozy Barrio Logan restaurant offers original Italian dishes that combine traditional recipes with modern flare. The result is delicious creations you can’t find anywhere else in the city—an approach that has helped earned Ciccia Osteria the Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand designation. “Our priority is always to create simple Italian food done well,” Cassineri says.
Building on the Osteria’s success, Cassineri is offering San Diegans even more delicious options this year. The first is a pizza restaurant located just a few doors down from Ciccia Osteria with a menu featuring different styles of pizza plus a selection of Italian tapas. Cassineri is also now offering catering services—including private chef dinners.
“I love this community and all of San Diego, which has been my home since 2008,” Cassineri says. “I’m excited to bring some new experiences to a place that has given so much to me.”
