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.

The fresh Ahi tuna was a bit drowned in mayo. I could sort of taste the freshness and subtle flavor but it was a shame to drown it in ingredients that should be carefully measured. The service was amazing! The drone of military jets was unexpected and startling.
