- RRAMONVIPLondon •7 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoMARISI is one of the best restaurants in the La Jolla. However, it continues to perfect it’s craft. The whole Bronzino fish is to die for. It is excellent with a zing to the topping. The short rib pasta is also delightful. However, the half chicken (and presumably the whole chicken) disappointed. It was rather difficult to cut. I would recommend more of a rotisserie approach. Or a piccata or Francese type whereby the heat is sealed inside and the chicken is piping hot. Altogether, it was a great evening with a great service from Max and his assistant Nik.More infoMarisiPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• La Jolla•4.6
