The vibe

A neighborhood Italian cocktail bar in Little Italy focused on the aperitivo tradition — negronis, amari, spritzes, and Italian wines alongside classic Italian bar snacks. Roman Wolves captures the relaxed, unhurried pleasure of an Italian early-evening drink in one of San Diego's most walkable neighborhoods. One of Little Italy's best-kept happy hour secrets.
