Marisi, the restaurant in La Jolla known for its Italian fine dining, opened in August 2022 with a romantic and timeless design. Creating a space reminiscent of an Italian escape to a homey villa, Marisi’s bold architecture and vibrant decor capture the elements of the Amalfi coast with a nostalgic and comforting ambiance of a traditional Italian trattoria. The restaurant’s showstopping elements include a 10ft brick and tiled Italian Hearth, an expansive sunlit patio, sweeping ceilings with arched walkways, “The Lemon Room” and a circular bar. Every detail from the custom-branded wallpaper to the custom-patterned floor tiles was designed or hand-selected by the team for a dream-like environment. Marisi’s color palette whisks you to the Italian coast, spotlighting hues of yellows, greens, blues and pinks. The design charms with a blend of refined classic elements and subtle yet intentional details such as vintage art prints, custom wall décor, and a mosaic bar top. Whether guests sit at the circular bar, open-air patio positioned off the town’s main thoroughfare or in the private dining room surrounded by lemons, each of the 111 seats holds a unique dining experience for patrons.

Marisi is my favorite restaurant in San Diego. Not only is the food amazing, the ambience takes you out of San Diego and into a romantic city in Italy.
Dined there last week, and I’ve never been in a restaurant that has thought of every detail when it comes to the design, down to their hand soaps. Absolute class!
Amazing spot for Italian in La Jolla!

My fav in LJ village. Feels sexy and sweet and the food is on point. Love the vermouth to start and can’t go wrong on this menu. Focaccia is a must. Bathroom on right is better than left.
