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.

The food was delicious! The service was fantastic and it is a very cool place to eat. We ate outdoors but they had plenty of heaters so even in December at night we were comfortable outside.

Marisi was one of our favorite restaurants and we went tonight to celebrate a birthday. Ambience beautiful. Unfortunately, all our food was served cold. For that price, we expect better. We didn’t expect to be told that they were busy with a private party.

We really liked the food here. The restaurant has a nice vibe but was sat outside on the makeshift patio so ambiance was mediocre. Our server was a little absent and our pasta took quite a long time to get to us. Someone else was very considerate and came out to apologize. We didn't see our server during the wait and she wasn't super attentive after she took our order. We would come back for the food though!

Our server was efficient and attentive. She was not enthused about hearing my feedback on the food however, when I told her my pasta was dry and I asked for more sauce, she brought me a lovely sauce.

Food was all delicious! It’s so great to receive impeccable service… an art form that seems to have been lost a bit after Covid. The patio seating was comfortable and the decor and ambiance were great. What an absolute treat!

We had great service . Appetizers were the highlight . Pastas were fine but they were not as hot as they should be and the carbonara was mediocre at best
