About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Romantic

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.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Chef Cameron Ingle

From the OpenTable editors: This dainty Italian restaurant is a La Jolla newcomer, but it’s already made an impression thanks to standout farm-to-table fare from executive chef Cameron Ingle (of Bouchon Bistro and Bestia fame). Toast with vermouth before digging into winners like einkorn cavatelli and bite-sized agnolotti.

The food was fabulous and amazing! Love the ordering and sharing process. Great portions. Negative? The interior is a bit dark and it’s very loud and it’s almost impossible to even hear the waiter when he speaks. Either lessen the table groupings or find some way to lower then noise level because its almost impossible to have a conversation unless you lean into the other person.

Been there a few times since opening. Feels like the love for food is gone and everyone is on automatic mode, the desire to outdo faded away. Snobby hosts and uninterested waiter.2 appetizers, 3 cocktails and 3 pastas for close to 300$ is too much and would be ok if special, but unfortunately it was not.

Loved every bite of our food at Marisi. Service was good but not particularly friendly - maybe because we were there close to closing time.
