OUR STORY
Through their memories, Marila and Isidoro gave us our dreams. Marisi — the restaurant in La Jolla named for them, in love and inspiration — is the feeling you get from the stories of where they went and what they did long enough ago to be magical.
At Marisi, you'll find small, hidden elements throughout the space that celebrate Isidoro's legacy. A true force of nature, Isidoro was strong, yet gentle; determined, yet humble; ambitious yet caring. The true Leo he was, his presence will always be felt.
