The owners of Little Italy’s Civico 1845 are revealing more about their newest restaurant project that’s opening at the corner of 5th and Laurel in Bankers Hill. Brothers Dario and Pietro Gallo, who run the successful India Street eatery that features dishes from their native Calabria, Italy, will partner with a father and son chef duo who have a Michelin-rated restaurant in the Italian city of Catanzaro, the capital of the region of Calabria.

Antonio and Luca Abbruzzino are the founders of Ristorante Abbruzzino, which was awarded a Michelin star in 2013, the first-ever for Calabria, and has continued to maintain its star rating; in 2017, the father and son visited San Diego and cooked a pop-up dinner at Civico 1845, where some of their Southern Italian dishes stayed on the menu. Now, the Abbruzzinos are relocating from Italy to collaborate with the Gallo brothers on Il Dandy, which will open at the base of the Mister A’s building later this spring.
