About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for outdoor dining
Charming

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.

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!

Hostess was so nice and accommodating, but then our waiter was the opposite. We wouldn’t make the drive from Del Mar for service like that. The food was nice but again not worth the drive especially with that service

My wife and I shard 3 different appetizers ( tomato crudo, hamachi crudo and seared shrimp) each was wonderful with different flavors . We had the best branzino for the main course with a herb dressing. I cannot say enough about the flavors of these dishes.

Perfect date night restaurant. Make reservations even for the bar or else you will stand around waiting for a seat. Most importantly come at least 20 minutes early to insure parking
