The owner of Landini's Pizza has taken over the space previously occupied by Iron Pig Alehouse in San Diego's Pacific Beach for the opening of a new concept named Slowly Bar & Restaurant.
Florence-native Leo Landini started his San Diego culinary career in 2005 as the general manager of what was then the oldest Italian restaurant in the Gaslamp, the now-defunct Trattoria La Strada. In 2008, Landini took over the former Pizzeria Luigi in Little Italy and opened his namesake pizzeria.
