Marisi at 1044 Wall St in La Jolla's Village, 92037, opened in 2022 and earned San Diego Magazine's Best New Restaurant award in 2023 for its Italian hearth cooking approach — handmade pastas, dry-aged fish, and whole-animal butchery done in a polished but unstuffy room. The Spicy Rigatoni and duck ragu pappardelle are the must-orders; king crab agnolotti and Wagyu beef carpaccio show the kitchen's range. Trapanese pesto trottole and housemade Limoncello close the loop on a proper Italian meal. Dinner nightly, brunch Saturday and Sunday — book ahead.
