Pappalecco – Reviews, photos, menu, opening hours Claimed

One of the best restaurants to go to in Little Italy. I have the best sandwiches soups and ice creams with different flavors and lots of variety. The coffee is on point and I’m not a coffee person. A surprise at every corner with love. Check out this little 💎 …

This cafe has a great energy to it! I visited the Little Italy location and cannot wait to visit the other three. …

Excellent sandwiches and a very nice selection of coffee and gelato. However, this particular location does not serve pizza. You need to go to one of their other locations if you want a hot pizza. I definatly would NOT recommend the calzone.

My favorite coffee spot in San Diego so far. Always excellent customer service. The marocchino (espresso, Nutella and frothy milk) is excellent. They also offer gelato, paninis, salads and an amazing selection of baked goods. The Torta …

Had the pistachio gelato that was creamy with chopped pistachio. Very sweet. Friendly and fast service.

Stopped in during a warm evening and picked up some Gelato, a cookie, and a cannoli. Service was fast and the food excellent.

It was good! They have really good salads, paninis, croissants and delicious pastries. The coffee is good and strong. The only poor side I observed this time is the people in counter, taking your order, both of them had certain attitude, …

This is my third stop on the San Diego Vegan tour. This is a cute place in Little Italy San Diego. I went with the mushroom and cheese panini with a dark chocolate Gelato. I’m loving Vegan food the more I eat it. They have …

Friendly staffs, nice spot to sit. Many options for gelato but they’re a bit too sweet for us.

I felt like Gelato while walking through Little Italy and this place came up! And wow – I was mind blown. I had the dark chocolate and mixed berry double scoop. It was so good that I couldn’t wait to eat it and so forgot to take a picture! But it was finished it record time.

Ordered the iced espresso and it’s was delicious. Also, had the strawberry and vanilla gelato…very good! The apple pie crumble was okay. Cute little coffee shop and staff is very polite.

A must-stop and taste everything! Staff is amazing and friendly, be sure to ask Francesco about the chocolate factory where his grandparents grew up! We can’t wait to come back and try more menu items! …

I come here every time I visit San Diego! I get a cappuccino and a vegan focaccia. They are both incredibly delicious, as they have been over the years. The restaurant has updated their look and it’s beautiful! The staff is always friendly and wonderful! I’ll continue coming here as long as they are here

This was the best cappuccino I have ever had. I was visiting from out of town, staying in little Italy and saw this shop around the corner. I’ve been here two days in a row now. The Nutella muffin and croissant sandwiches are the best things ever. This place is a little slice of heaven.

The BEST italian cafe in little Italy! From the delicious menu items to the GREAT customer service. Most of the staff are actually from Italy which is pretty cool since they bring that sense of like you just stepped into an actual cafe in …

I had the salmon croissant and it was absolutely delicious. This is a great place to grab a quick breakfast. I came early on a Sunday and was able to find plenty of free street parking.

Pappalecco was the unexpected highlight of our trip! My lady and I went there 3 times in 2 days because not only was the breakfast perfect, the gelato was also the perfect way to end our evening. The food is AMAZING, and the service was so kind, quick, and thorough!

Pappalecco gave me of the best paninis I’ve ever had, the balsamic sauce made it even better, I practically cleaned the plate. Quiche was fluffy and bursting with flavor, loved how flaky the pastry was too. I’m definitely glad I stopped by here for a bite this morning.

I love everything about this place. The Italian spirit, the simple yet tasty gelato, and the kind counter staff. Their gelato is authentic and doesn’t skip a beat. I also very much enjoy their smooth and rich latte. Their seating options are nice and peaceful, perfect for a great conversation. Would strongly recommend.

delicious and fast. nice environment, you can sit inside and outside

The Proscuitto Panini was amazing!! It was so flavorful, and delicious. The presentation of the dish was elegant and tasteful as well. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, I never felt rushed to finish and vacate a table. Overall an incredible experience!

This review is for the gelato which is hands down the best I have ever tasted in the U.S! …

A class act. Great food and service. We are breakfast and loved it. Sat outside and had croissants and coffee. The staff playfully made fun of me for my zero knowledge of the menu. It was great.

I’m from the Midwest but have traveled the US and being severely allergic to dairy, gelato is one of my go-to desserts when I travel. The gelato here was fantastic, simply decadent with bold and unique flavors with each scoop! I had the …

The Pepperoni Focaccia was amazing! The cheese was great and warm, the pepperoni was good and the bread wasn’t too crusty or too soft; just right. …

I ordered a regular coffee and split a pastry (almond tortino) with my wife. They offered information about their menu that helped us choose. Great service. Delicious food. We hung out there a bit.

This place has the best coffee, cannoli and gelato. I’ve ever had. People speak Italian here and the lady that helped me was so friendly. A must g in little Italy.

I got the best double espresso in a long time at Pappalecco. Cannoli is very delicious.

Wonderful, tasty, fresh great food with a beautiful service lady! Gorgeous little brown lady that greeted us! I eat here every time in San Diego

Awesome place! Thank you for the experience. Big smiles the entire time and good quality products.Definitely hard to find places were it’s not just about getting a cup of coffee. Engagement, eye contact and a lil conversation is way more valuable than getting a good cup of coffee.

Yummy treat. The gelato is yummy. Should stop by when you are in San Diego area. Parking could be a challenge.
