Authentic Italian Cuisine Crafted with Love – Now Open in Point Loma!
Pezzi Del Mio Cuore (“Pieces of My Heart”) has officially opened its doors since March 16th, bringing a 30-year culinary dream to life. Founded by brothers Tecovulo and Gaspar Mauricio, alongside Tecovulo’s son Brayan Mauricio, this new restaurant is a love letter to Italian tradition, family, and exceptional food.
With decades of experience in San Diego’s most beloved Italian kitchens—including Allegro, Vincenzo Cucina & Lounge, and Panevino—the Mauricios have perfected the art of authentic Italian cooking. Now, they’ve brought their passion to Point Loma, offering a dining experience that blends time-honored recipes with modern flair.
