Nationally-acclaimed Juniper and Ivy-consistently ranked "Best of the Best" by San Diego Magazine, and recognized as a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand establishment-is a foodie paradise on the edge of San Diego's Little Italy. The kitchen delivers a constantly rotating, chef-driven menu that uses hand-selected, seasonal ingredients crafted with precision, passion, and creativity. Founded by Owner Michael Rosen, Juniper's kitchen is backed by a supergroup of culinary minds that produce one of the most refined yet imaginative menus in town, paired with an award-winning wine list from the city's top sommeliers.

Why they're an Icon

MICHELIN Plate2022

From the OpenTable editors: This Little Italy mainstay is responsible for upping the neighborhood’s culinary cred. The kitchen takes local fish and ingredients from area farms, then turns them into stunning plates with international flavors like pappardelle with sunchoke stroganoff or albacore tuna crudo with citrus vinaigrette.
