The Little Italy Association (LIA) of San Diego is bringing a brand new, premier event, Solo Italiano: Dinner in Rosso (Dinner in Red) presented by PenFed Credit Union to the recently opened, Piazza della Famiglia.

During the communal dining experience, guests can expect to be waited on and engage with cheese experts who will offer each table a selection of gourmet cheeses to taste—enhancing their experience

Be Entertained

Throughout the dinner, opera singer, Natalie Moran Clegg will dazzle the crowd with an exquisite performance from one of the balconies in the Piazza.

Headliner and Naples born and raised singer, Pasquale Esposito, will take the stage for a live performance; inviting guests to dance the night away on the dance floor.
