One of Little Italy’s most unusual restaurants has undergone a stunning transformation, and the timing is raising eyebrows. Maranello opened this summer with Ferrari-red interiors, racing memorabilia, a genuine Ferrari engine on display and an identity built around the legendary Italian automaker. Now, just months later, the racing theme has vanished, the restaurant has been completely redesigned, and it’s reopening as Trattoria Maranello. The dramatic makeover follows unconfirmed reports of a possible dispute involving Ferrari’s branding, while questions surrounding the restaurant’s ownership have prompted conflicting accounts.

Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy, melted brie, and even green bean casserole - San Diego restaurants are going absolutely wild with Thanksgiving-inspired sandwiches, burgers, and other handheld feasts!

A popular San Diego steakhouse is putting a mystery customer in the spotlight after alleging he used several counterfeit $100 bills to pay for his meal, leaving the restaurant out hundreds of dollars. The Remy Cocktails & Meat in Mission Valley has released a photograph of the man and is asking the public to help identify him, sparking a heated social media debate over counterfeit currency, restaurant security and whether publicly posting someone’s face goes too far before any criminal wrongdoing has been established.

After sitting empty for eight years, one of Hillcrest’s most prominent restaurant spaces is finally coming back to life, and the transformation has cost a whopping $1.5 million! The former Panera Bread at The Hub Hillcrest is becoming Josie’s, a sprawling 175-seat American diner from the restaurateurs behind Madi, Sonny’s Pizza and the recently shuttered Madison on Park. Opening November 12, the nostalgic new restaurant promises country-fried steak, homemade pies, all-day breakfast, specialty coffees and an evening supper club experience inspired by a century of family restaurant history. But the opening comes amid major changes for the ownership group, including the closure of its decade-old University Heights restaurant and plans for an entirely new concept in its place.

San Diego’s police chief has ignited a firestorm after publicly condemning Governor Gavin Newsom’s sweeping decision to spare 548 death row inmates from ex*****on, including the convicted killer of San Diego Police Officer Jonathan De Guzman. Chief Scott Wahl called the move a betrayal of murder victims and their families, but his blistering statement, published through the police department’s official social media accounts, has unleashed a fierce debate drawing thousands of reactions. While supporters applaud Wahl for standing up for victims, critics are questioning whether a taxpayer-funded police department should be using its official platforms to challenge the governor’s constitutional authority. With San Diego’s district attorney and civil liberties advocates taking opposing positions, the controversy has raised questions extending far beyond the death penalty: Where should police leadership draw the line between advocating for victims and engaging in political debate?

After a frightening bout of influenza landed him in intensive care in Los Angeles, where he developed pneumonia and was forced to postpone concerts, 86-year-old music legend Tom Jones returned to the stage at San Diego’s Rady Shell and delivered a performance that was nothing short of extraordinary. Despite occasional coughing and spending much of the evening seated, the Welsh superstar’s legendary voice remained astonishingly powerful as he belted out hits, shared stories about Elvis Presley and his decades of topping charts, and even inspired women to throw their underwear onstage. What unfolded was far more than a concert. It was an unforgettable celebration of music, mortality, resilience and one hell of a life.

Another ambitious Mexican restaurant is preparing to take over one of San Diego’s most notoriously challenging dining spaces. The team behind City Tacos is bringing El Punto, a sprawling 8,800-square-foot coastal Mexican restaurant featuring fresh seafood, creative cocktails, a children’s playground and even an off-leash dog park, to Liberty Station in Point Loma. But the new venture faces an interesting challenge: the same prominent property has already seen several Mexican restaurant concepts come and go, including chef Claudette Zepeda’s acclaimed El Jardín, its successor El Jardín Cantina and the colorful Go Go Amigo, while plans for a flagship location of popular taco restaurant Lola 55 never materialized. With an opening anticipated of November 9, can the team behind one of San Diego’s most successful local taco chains finally break the cycle and make this high-profile location stick?
