Parma Cucina Italiana
Italian · San Diego, CA
About
Hillcrest locals and visitors fill Parma Cucina Italiana on weeknights, drawn by authentic Italian fare from Florentine owners Leonardo and Francesca. This intimate spot feels packed even on a Tuesday, so reservations help. The couple moved to San Diego in 2012 and opened Parma in 2013, aiming to bring true Tuscan hospitality. Expect classic dishes, Italian wines, and a friendly staff that makes you feel like a regular.
Parma is dog-friendly with outdoor seating, and they serve beer and wine only. Best nights to go are Monday, Tuesday, or Friday. It's a short walk from Little Italy, but Hillcrest's own Snooze, an A.M. Eatery makes for a good breakfast stop another day. Dinner only, no lunch.
