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.

My family and I went in for dinner on Monday to celebrate Mother’s Day and let me tell y’all… the service was incredible! From the moment we walked through those doors til the moment went exited them. Our server Christina was absolutely incredible and very lovely! She was very knowledgeable about food & drink menu and her along with her assistants ensure we had a great first experience dining at Marisi. My dad isn’t easily impressed with service and he made it a point to me to let our incredible server, Christina, know. Both my mom and my mother in law couldn’t stop mentioning how much they enjoyed themselves! Thank you Marisi & staff for a very lovely evening! Definitely recommend dining here! Ask for Christina if she’s working!(:

Our overall experience here was great! Ian was our server and greeted us right away and helped us navigate the menu and make delicious selections of appetizers and mains. He also had wonderful knowledge of Italian wines and which ones to pair with each of our entrees. It was a great date night. The restaurant is decorated so beautifully you feel like you are transported to a restaurant in Italy. We will definitely be back again to try more!

Every time we come, they outdo themselves. The GM Carly is fantastic and on top of everything without making it seem like work while making sure you're well-taken care of. The rest of the front of the house is wonderful as well. Of course, the food is outstanding! The carbonara was a special standout, alongside the branzino. But truly, the menu has no misses. Most importantly, we brought our dog, who they remembered from prior visits, and treated her like true Marisi royalty, bringing her a 4 course puppy meal alongside our own! She got hard boiled eggs, branzino, veggies with chicken, and raspberries. We all had a truly spectacular evening, and can't wait to come back. This is a must visit if you're in town.

Alana and Naomi, it is always a pleasure when you dine with us! It has been so wonderful to get to know you and to watch Pumpkin grow over the years. Cheers to many more celebrations and visits to San Diego! -Karley
