Italian hearth cooking and handmade pasta on Wall Street in La Jolla Village
Marisi brings Italian hearth cooking to Wall Street in La Jolla Village, built on handmade pastas, classic cocktails, and fine wine. The restaurant is named for Marila and Isidoro, and small, hidden touches throughout the space celebrate Isidoro's legacy. Guests can settle into the dining room, the patio, where well-behaved dogs are welcome, or the outdoor deck.
San Diego Magazine named Marisi Best New Restaurant in 2023, placed it among the city's Top 5 Restaurants in 2024, and crowned it Best Italian Restaurant in 2025. The menu draws on the cooking of Italy's many regions, and little-known pasta shapes, whole-animal butchery, and house-made limoncello are part of what sets it apart.
The food is hearth-driven and ingredient-led, built around handmade pasta. Standouts include spicy rigatoni with Calabrian chilis and stracciatella, short rib pappardelle, seafood bucatini with clams and uni butter, and corn and crab agnolotti, alongside hearth-roasted prawns, branzino with green chermoula, and a 40-ounce bistecca alla Fiorentina. The menu moves with the seasons and the local harvest, and a dessert lineup that runs from bunet custard cheesecake to white tiramisu soft serve is worth saving room for.
Weekend brunch runs Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 2pm, with live music every Sunday, and Wednesdays bring Girl Dinner, a set menu from 5 to 9pm. The Lemon Room, the patio, and the deck host private events. Dress leans toward cocktail attire, and reservations open 30 days out.
