About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
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.

This is an Italian restaurant so stick to their pastas and roasted chicken. Ordered their swordfish special on Monday night. Nothing special about it. It was barely cooked was to be grilled had no grill marks and potato puree. It was a plate of white very unappealing. No fresh veggies. I sent it back to cook more. It had no flavor the potato purée was delicious as was our starter of little gem Caesar and their delicious focaccia bread. The server offered to get me a new entree and she removed it from our bill. Next time it’s pasta!

The food was over the top and the service was spectacular. Karley Mae’s, general manager, was warm and welcoming and made sure our table of six was taken care of. All of the servers were prompt, friendly and tended to every detail. We ordered Bolognese and a gem salad to share and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back!

Great food, cocktails (inventive but with no reliance on shock value) and service. Inside looks nice, but why eat inside when outside is available! The crudo changes, but ours was awesome, as was the beet salad, bone marrow, and prosciutto. The big surprise was the bolognese—v good (I thought it would be boring: wrong).
