Little Italy is San Diego's culinary soul, and Auntie Lu's Bakery is proud to bake alongside this neighborhood's legendary food tradition. Our artisan sourdough holds its own on the bread tables of India Street's finest restaurants, our custom cakes have celebrated engagements and birthdays at the Piazza della Famiglia, and our cake pops have delighted Saturday morning shoppers at the Little Italy Mercato farmers market. The waterfront energy, the Italian heritage woven into every block, and the vibrant art walks that fill the streets with creativity all inspire our work. Whether you are hosting a rehearsal dinner at a W Hotel event space or a casual gathering on a rooftop with harbor views, we bring bakery craft that honors Little Italy's passion for exceptional food.
About Little Italy
Little Italy is a thriving waterfront neighborhood along India Street, transformed from a historic Italian fishing village into one of San Diego's most sought-after dining and residential destinations. The Piazza della Famiglia serves as the neighborhood's gathering heart, a European-style plaza surrounded by restaurants and strung with lights. The Little Italy Mercato, held every Saturday morning, is one of the largest farmers markets in San Diego, drawing thousands for fresh produce, prepared foods, and artisan goods. Art walks and gallery events add cultural texture, while boutique hotels like the W San Diego and the Carte Hotel have made the neighborhood a hospitality destination. The waterfront along the Embarcadero provides direct access to the harbor, cruise ship terminal, and stunning views across the bay.

“Our Saturday morning tradition is the Little Italy Mercato, and discovering Auntie Lu's sourdough there changed our weekends forever. When our daughter got engaged, we had the party at the Piazza della Famiglia and Auntie Lu's tiramisu cake was the most incredible thing any of us had ever tasted. She is Little Italy's best-kept secret.”— Anthony & Rosa C., Little Italy
