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 intimate affair will include some of his current releases, as well as back vintage blockbusters pulled from Isidoro’s private cellar. Who is Isidoro and why his cellar?

This experience is $1,000 per guest, including tax and gratuity. No shows and cancellations less than three days in advance will be nonrefundable.

    The food was only so-so. The Cesar salad had sand in it….they did not wash the lettuce thoroughly. The portion for the scallop dish is small, appetizer portion. Don’t get it as main course. The whole snapper was overcooked. There are much better restaurants in LaJolla at this price.

    I made a reservation to sit on the covered patio and they were not able to give us that so we had to sit inside. They told me that some VIPs needed to sit in the spot that we were supposed to have. while the service was good the food is overpriced and really wasn’t  anything special. I’m canceling our reservation for December.

    Nice dinner, we thought the food was very good. we had pretty slow service - especially at the end of the meal (maybe short staffed?). Really liked the cantaloupe margarita.

    Amazing food, service and ambiance. Authentic pasta, one of the best steaks I have ever had, and great wine. Also, our server was incredible.

    The first time I ate at this restaurant, it was delicious and every plate was tasty and beautiful! Second time (last night) was not very good. The hot focaccia was cold in the middle. The beef bolognese had very little beef and was mostly just pasta. The meatballs were delicious and our service was great.
