• Italian • La Jolla
Booked 100 times today
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.

    We really enjoyed our experience and look forward to returning. The chef offered a complimentary amuse of a couple arepas. So good, I will definitely get a full order next time. For dinner we ordered the pork trio for 2. It came with two sides, we chose the potato tostones and the Autumn squashes. Everything was so good that sadly we were too full for dessert which we look forward to enjoying next time. We both also ordered Old Fashions which were both made exactly the way we requested them.

    I've been here many times, and I always recommend it to my friends who come from out of town. The service is always impeccable, making us feel like we are having lunch at home. They updated the menu, today I tried the Canelloni, house made, it was simply perfect. Thanks you all !
