About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for outdoor dining
Charming

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.

I went for my 22nd birthday and our waiter. Scott was just absolutely so amazing and the food was delicious. The atmosphere was really fun and I would definitely go back again.

Disappointed with this experience. Marisi refused to honor our indoor reservation because they had overbooked with a few large parties. Rather than explain that they had just screwed up, the hostess stand gaslit me into believing that it was “just the way things worked out tonight.” Thank you for the free focaccia though.

MARISI 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.
