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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We went last night to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and everything was absolutely perfect. Every staff member who came to our table congratulated us, and they even surprised us with wine, dessert, and a special card on the table just for us. The food was delicious, and we were seated right on time no waiting at all, which we really appreciated. The whole experience felt thoughtful and elegant. Thank you for making our celebration so memorable!

We LOVED our server Lucas, he made our dinner so much fun and enjoyable. He was also extremely knowledgeable about the menu and which menu items went well with each other, and how we should pair the items we had selected with others we were deciding between. Thank you for a great experience, everything was delicious and we will be back soon!

The food was good, but the experience was very rushed. We had a reservation at 8:45 and by the time we were seated and the server came over, they told us we only had six minutes to order the entire meal. We promptly ordered, and as soon as we finished our main entrée, the check was brought to the table. We were not even shown a dessert menu because they were in such a hurry to leave.

Marisi was gorgeous as usual. We celebrated a friend's birthday who was visiting from out of town. The service and the food was amazing. We LOVED the prawns and Funghi the most. Also the drinks were pretty and delicious. We had a GREAT evening and it turned out to be amazing meal. I would recommend the chicken and carbonara. Both were big hit at our table. We would be back!
