Charming

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.

Delicious! I was excited to see not one or two vegan options, but a full menu! Everything tasted like they were crafted with care. I went with the server recommendations for appetizer, entree, and dessert; they did not disappoint.

Might have been a bad night. Our server was lovely, but the bread was stale and reheated and the pasta was gummy. Great location

Dining here again after a four-year absence. Calabrian food was excellent as always. Very attentive service. But, contrary to Italian custom, the food was rushed to the table. Mains came while we were only halfway through the antipasti. Quite obviously they now want to turn tables quickly. The website states that a two-top is alloted just an hour and 15 minutes. As good as the food was, and as friendly and attentive as the service was, we will not return.

Great place for dinner. I’m a vegan and absolutely love this restaurant. It was a birthday dinner and (as usual) the staff treated me like a king! The food is excellent, the atmosphere is a bit noisy on a Saturday night, and parking is hell on earth. But always a great experience! Recommend the vegan caprese salad—the rice milk mozzarella is absolutely delicious!
