• Italian • La Jolla

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 is the second time I’ve gone to the Nine-Ten for dinner and I really enjoyed it. The dinner was a lovely evening and we had fun while waiting for our meals. It wasn’t too noisy and the server was very accommodating. The burger was very juicy and delicious for a meal and dinner while the lamb my dad and brother had looked very good as well. I highly recommend it.

    Great food. First time out in La Jolla without the kids and what a great choice. Exceptionally busy for a Tuesday. Didn’t expect that big of a crowd. Had the foie gras on a crostini, arancini, large prawns and then the duck entree. Some Italian wine, an Amaru Montenegro and a godfather (whisky and amaretto). Great food, great wine and amazing service. Not a place to take kids I’d say but definitely a place to try Italian food that is made with authentic love (flavor).

    What a treat! My wife and I have a lot of dietary restrictions and it has been a challenge to find delicious & filling meals during our vacation in La Jolla. Puesto’s menu lists various restrictions which is appreciated. Our waiter, Colten, was able to answer our questions and help us find many good options to choose from. This spot will be must for our next visit. :)
