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.

This was our second visit and we'll keep coming back. I had the loco moco, which may be my favorite entree. It's simply delicious. My wife had a burger - I don't recall which one - but she enjoyed it and she is very particular about burgers. There are several other entrees I'd like to try on future visits. The hostess greeted us warmly and our server took great care of us. This is a good place to watch sports if that's your thing.
