After 40 wonderful years, The Little One has closed its doors,
but our culinary journey continues...
It's hard to believe that 40 years have passed since my father and sister first opened The Little One in 1985 at Scott and Congress (later moved to Stone and Alameda). What started as a family restaurant became so much more—a place where people came not just for a meal, but for connection, comfort, and yes... sometimes just for a hug.
As downtown Tucson changed around us, we held onto what made The Little One special: the warmth of family, the joy of good food, and the belief that every meal shared is a memory made. While it wasn't an easy decision to close our doors on September 19th, 2025, I'm filled with gratitude for every customer who became family, every smile shared across our tables, and every moment of love that filled our little restaurant.
Though The Little One chapter has ended, my passion for bringing people together through food and creating beautiful, welcoming spaces continues in new and exciting ways. I invite you to join me on this next adventure...
While The Little One may have closed, my love for cooking and creating warm, welcoming spaces lives on through these new ventures:
