Marisi · Restaurant · San Diego
Hearth-driven coastal Italian in the heart of La Jolla Village
Marisi brings a polished coastal Italian to Wall Street in La Jolla Village, a few blocks up from the cove. It channels the Amalfi Coast without leaning on cliche: bold architecture, arched walkways, a circular bar, and a sunlit courtyard patio set behind wrought-iron gates off the town's main thoroughfare.
The kitchen has earned its reputation quickly. 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 restaurant was opened by the team behind Puesto and built up by chef Cameron Ingle, whose pedigree runs through Bouchon, Bestia, and Blue Hill at Stone Barns; chef Kaitlyn Smith now leads the kitchen, carrying forward the seasonal, hearth-first approach.
