San Diego Uptown News news and information about the heart of San Diego

The much-anticipated gelato shop that looks like a dry cleaners has opened in North Park under the misleading title, An’s Dry Cleaning. Many of the signature flavors are named after linens such as chiffon (strawberry-ginger), poplin (cucumber, lime and mint), and silk (almong-sage). The gelatos are scratch-made in small batches and use locally sourced ingredients.

The lease for Paesano in North Park is up for grabs through the property brokerage firm, Location Matters. The restaurant’s proprietor, Joe Romano, owns the building and has yet to decide whether he will retire or reopen at a different San Diego location once a tenant is found.
