Marisi - Review - La Jolla - San Diego - The Infatuation

"Couples splurging on date nights flock to this big-budget Italian restaurant for a stunning vine-covered patio and grilled meats that might fool you into thinking you teleported to Tuscany. The best table is in the corner where, safely behind glass, you can watch chefs toss food onto a flaming hearth that chars and sears behemoth Florentine-style steaks, or head-on prawns swimming in a garlicky wine sauce that demands to be paired with a still-warm loaf of heirloom grain focaccia. If you need all eyes on you, order the roasted bone marrow, which arrives on a huge wooden plank as an entire femur bone, split lengthwise and served with salsa verde and a stack of grilled sourdough." - Candice Woo
