Charming
Good for special occasions
Great for outdoor dining

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.

Ambiance and food delicious. The pasta plates were way too small to be an entree. My pasta was a little too al dente.

Waiter's were very nice, friendly and attentive. However, our table was right next to where they were stationed and they were enjoying a nice continuous conversation with each other. More importantly, the food was on the bland side. I had the swordfish which was lacking in flavour. My wife had one of the pasta dishes and it also seem to be missing salt.

Went out to Marisi on a very overdue date night. Service was phenomenal, food was phenomenal, and overall amazing experience. Highly recommend short ribs and the beet & goat cheese appetizer. All the pasta is made on premises and they were able to accommodate my wife’s gluten allergy with almost every dish. We will be back for sure!
