Italian
Discovering Italy by way of La Jolla, Marisi focuses on Italian hearth cooking with an emphasis on handmade pastas, fine wine and classic cocktails. The menu celebrates the rich diversity of cuisine from across Italy, fashioned in a time-honored tradition of handmade all day, every day. A dream that lives between the Italian and La Jolla coasts, suspended between tides instead of time — a mood more than a plot. A visit that feels a lot like coming home, if home was a warm, charming villa off the Amalfi coast. Marisi is a taste of something you want to remember. We hope you love it.

    Best Italian restaurant in La Jolla. Pasta cooked to perfection. Delicious cocktails to start with and reasonably priced wines.

    So disappointed! My far and away favorite dish here, the duck ragu tagliatelle, is off the menu! What?! It was one of their most popular dishes! It’s been replaced by a different pasta with, according to the waiter, the same ragu. Nope, doesn’t taste the same at all. Either the ragu is different or the pasta type makes all the difference, I don’t know. But the new dish tastes heavier and saltier and not at all the same. Huge disappointment, doubt we’ll be back - this was our family’s go-to.

    We booked the only table left at 9:45 when it was clear they want us out asap. The staff was nice but came to our table way too much to rush us to make an order for the main course. Had some mistakes. We ate 4 starters and one main dish. It was fine but I was expecting much more from the food for those prices

    Enchanting! We celebrated our anniversary here. The patio is warm, comfortable, charming with lanterns and flowers overhead. We were welcomed with a splash of celebratory prosecco. The smoked beets over ricotta were different and delicious. I enjoyed the duck pasta, and my husband had the gnocchi with truffles. There were some good wines by the glass. We didn’t save room for dessert but we’ll try next time. The service was both friendly and unobtrusive. It was a lovely dining experience.

    2 nd time we went there. First time Pasta came so salty we sent it back. Like the ambiance and convenience so went back. This time problem was different but will give it another try. We had 2 delicious cocktails, split a interesting and tasty chopped salad. Ordered for main entree,Cavatelli Pasta which was very good.My wife ordered the Ravioli which never came? The Young lady, our pleasant waitress thought since we split the salad we were splitting the one Pasta, which we eventually did . Not by choice since my wife wanted the ravioli. Will go back- possibly 3 rd time a charm.

    The moment you enter Marisi and the hostess receives you with a smile and then you sit down and take in a beautiful patio, covered with flowers, incredible music, the experience starts. The waiter, the drinks and the food all amazing. It’s hard for me to have this fabulous dining out evening almost anywhere and you will for sure love it like I do.

    Outstanding experience - most/only lively restaurant in the village of La Jolla tonight. Service was impeccable, amazing curated Italian/Californian wine list (had a lovely Amarone + some dessert and wine) and a brilliant mix of Italian dishes using local SD farm produce, many of which were cooked on a large open flame. Unique and memorable from start to finish

    The restaurant itself was beautiful and everyone was very welcoming. The food was fresh and delicious. However I felt like the service could have been better as my server made myself and the rest of my party feel less than and judged. With it being my birthday, I expected a free dessert especially since our food and drinks were at high value. Instead I received a cup of espresso powder with a sparkler stuck in it. Thoughtful, but I’ve never been to a restaurant on my birthday where they didn’t give free dessert to the birthday girl.
