Marisella is Chef Danny Grant’s coastal Italian restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton Bacara in Santa Barbara, California. Set above the Pacific Ocean, it brings together the traditions of the Amalfi Coast and the region’s farms, fisheries, and vineyards. The menu features handmade pastas, locally sourced seafood, and wood-fired meats, prepared with an emphasis on the simplicity and elegance of Italian cooking. Guests can complement their meal with an award-winning wine list or the restaurant’s signature martini program.

The restaurant pairs its food with sweeping coastline views and a relaxed, luxurious setting inspired by the Mediterranean. Terracotta floors, limewashed walls, hand-painted archways, and lush greenery create a warm backdrop for dinner, sunset cocktails, and gatherings. Marisella welcomes guests for nightly dinner and offers happy hour, as well as private events for celebrations and other occasions.
