When I tell you, this has become my favorite restaurant in Dallas, I'm not kidding!!!!!! it is honestly the best spicy rigatoni that Ive had in the city. I've been here twice and every time I've been here has been amazing. This is perfect for a solo day, a date night, or celebration with the girls. It's so sexy and such a vibe I've been here. My favorite cocktail is the cucumber martini! I don't know what they put in this, but it is literally the best drink I've ever had. I tried a different one which was a passionfruit ... I believe I can't remember the name, but it just didn't hit like the cucumber so get that.! That chicken Parmesan is so good. I literally cannot... Not get it. The fried cheese was amazing and even the brownie. Everything that I've had here is so good. I can't wait to come back and try more. As far as service... Top-tier!!! you won't regret coming here! read more

Came with my friend for dinner and we decided to try the Dallas Restaurant Week menu. Parking was pretty easy using valet and we were seated immediately upon arriving. We made it in time for happy hour so we ordered drinks and snacks from that menu - wine, Negroni, and marinated olives, fries, and almonds. These were a delicious start to our meal service and definitely worth the try! For the course servings, I ordered the Neapolitan meatballs, red oak and bibb lettuces, spicy rigatoni + crispy chicken, and lemon cheesecake bite! My friend ordered the Japanese eggplant, tagliatelle, and cannoli. The food was delicious and pastas fresh! Adding the crispy chicken to the rigatoni was an excellent choice. My only complaint was the meatballs were dry and could've been a bit more moist. The restaurant's lights did go out for about 10 mins; however, the staff handled it so professionally you never would've noticed it! They were so on point! Overall, this is an amazing spot for Italian food and I'll definitely be open to trying some more of their menu items! read more

Had an incredible brunch at Ospi! The service was top-notch from start to finish. Host and waiter were attentive, friendly, and the service was well-paced. The food completely lived up to the hype: * Cacio e Pepe: Perfectly cooked pasta with rich, bold, authentic flavor. * Italian Countryside Breakfast: Hearty, savory, and balanced. * Lemon Ricotta Pancakes: Absolute perfection. Bright and decadent without being overly sweet. Such an underrated brunch spot in Dallas right now. Can't wait to come back for dinner! read more

Came for restaurant week which was a good deal. We had all the starters, Cesar's, and the spicy rigatoni. My martini was much better than the last visit but the service was still very mid. Lack of refilling water without asking and checking on us. Service has been consistently an issue at this location on my 3 visits. read more

Ospi was somewhere I had wanted to try ever since it opened, so I was excited to finally see what all the hype was about. We started with the whipped ricotta and focaccia, which was good but nothing crazy, the calamari, which was perfectly fried with great dipping sauces, and the kale salad, which I enjoyed but didn't quite live up to the hype. Everyone said the "greatest kale salad" but it was just another kale salad to me. They accidentally brought us the crispy provolone, and it ended up being pretty good! For entrees, we got the Margherita pizza, which was super thin but nothing to rave about, the spicy rigatoni, which I wish had more tangy Calabrian chili flavor but was still one of the better spicy rigatonis in Dallas, and the tagliatelle, which was overrated compared to what I'd seen online. Service was slow since the chefs were still training, but everyone was incredibly kind. The managers even comped our appetizers because of the extremely long wait. Ospi is definitely pricey for what we had, but I can see a lot of potential, and I'd love to come back once everything is running more smoothly read more

Ospi had been on my radar ever since they opened a couple of months ago. I was excited to finally check it out! They took over the former Meddlesome Moth space, which I always enjoyed going to. So I had high expectations for this place. I will say that Ospi has completely transformed it The interior is absolutely beautiful and feels nothing like the previous restaurant. The design has a bright, Southern Italian coastal vibe. We chose to sit on the enclosed patio, which was comfortable and fully climate-controlled. Even in the middle of a Texas summer, it stayed cool and made for a really enjoyable dining experience Service was excellent! Our server was attentive and kept our drinks refilled throughout the meal The food was very good overall, with several dishes that I would absolutely order again. The standouts were the Kale Salad, Focaccia with Whipped Ricotta, Tagliatelle alla Emiliana, Funghi Pizza, and the Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream The Funghi Pizza was my favorite dish of the night. It was incredibly flavorful. The crust was super thin and not crispy, but super light and chewy. The Kale Salad was honestly one of the best i've had at any restaurant (and i've ordered a lot of kale salads over the years). The Whipped Ricotta tasted incredibly fresh and creamy. My only small critique is that there was much more ricotta than focaccia, so we wished that there was more bread. I ended up dipping the pizza crust into it. The Tagliatelle alla Emiliana tasted really good as well We also tried the seasonal Red Snapper, which was well cooked with nothing to complain about. The Calamari was perfectly seasoned, and the spicy remoulade that came with it was well balanced For dessert, we ordered the Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream which was surprisingly light without being overly heavy, and the perfect way to finish dinner. However, the Lemon Cheesecake, was just okay and didn't stand out as much as the other dessert The only dish that missed the mark for me was the Lasagna which I had ordered. It was beautifully plated and nice to look at, but I found it lacking flavor. I also tend to prefer a more rustic, traditional-style lasagna which is how I make mine at home. So this one just wasn't for me Overall, Ospi exceeded my expectations. We all left happily full and are already looking forward to coming back! read more

Ospi brings a modern twist to classic southern Italian dining. This fine dining establishment was created by a Top Chef contender, originally founded in California. They are known for their vodka sauce and after trying it firsthand I understand why it's so well known. For starters, we ordered garlic confit foccacia served with olive oil, olives, and rosemary almonds. The bread itself was well seasoned and soft and paired well with the garlic butter and olives (both pitted and non pitted olives were included). For main dishes, we ordered various pasta dishes, half of the party (including me) ordered the Spicy Rigatoni served in the vodka sauce and I selected the meatballs add on. Important to note if you are ordering the same thing, the meatballs are $3 each, not total and you typically get about 3 on the dish so it's about $9 for meatballs which I thought was a bit excessive pricing wise. Despite that this dish was well worth it as the sauce is so good and one of the best vodka pasta dishes I've ever tried. It's actually a bit spicy which I've found other vodka sauces fail in this department. I added chili flakes, but it's not required, only if you like an extra kick. The rigatoni is cooked beautifully and the meatballs are tasty along with the sauce and spices. Lastly, we ordered the tiramisu for the table and it was honestly so light and creamy, I was very impressed. Ospi is definitely worth trying at least once. read more

Honestly, this might be my favorite Italian restaurant in Dallas...every experience is deliciously wonderful! I love the decor and ambience and most importantly the food! Our go to is the kale salad, I'm obsessed, you must get extra dressing. Most recently, we tried the meatballs, crispy provolone and whipped ricotta, I'd get them every time, over and over, absolutely delicious, cleaned the plate. Our waitress, Makali, she truly took great care of us for our birthdays, we had a great night! read more

Came here for a birthday dinner on a Friday night and the hosts were friendly and had our table ready on time. We started with meatballs and the ricotta focaccia, both were okay. We order a lot for the table and the stars of the show were the vodka pizza and chicken parm. The pizza was so thin and the fresno pepper was the right amount of kick while the chicken parm was cooked to perfection. Great for girls night or a big crowd, would come back to try their other pastas/pizzas. There's valet which is a plus! read more

So good I got it delivered the day after visiting! Although i'm sad Meddlesome Moth is gone, I'm excited that Ospi is an excellent replacement. The pasta here is freshly made and it's obvious from the taste. My friend and I ordered the whipped ricotta, and garlic confit focaccia for appetizers. They honestly should come together, the garlic confit was underwhelming alone. For the entrees we ordered the tagliatelle and the chicken Parmesan with rigatoni. I wanted the lasagna but it was sold out. I was pleasantly surprised by the tagliatelle, it was perfect! Pasta melts in your mouth and the dishes have do much flavor. The food was so good that I got the lasagna delivered the next day. Everything was packaged well and was still hot when it got to me. I can't wait to go back/get other dishes delivered. The decor of the restaurant is beautiful. However, It's extremely loud in there, like louder than a normal busy restaurant. I'll try patio seating next time because it sounds like everyone is yelling at each other inside. read more

What a great evening we had at Ospi last night! We'd heard wonderful things about their handmade pastas, creative appetizers, lively atmosphere, and exceptional service, so we decided it was time to see for ourselves. From the moment we were seated, we knew we were in for a treat when our server welcomed us with a complimentary round of Prosecco. We started with Filthy Memento Mori Martinis and Rebecca's Margherita, along with the Crispy Rhode Island Calamari served with cherry peppers, spicy remoulade, and passata. It was a terrific way to kick off the meal. Next came Caesar salads to share, followed by two of Ospi's signature pastas: the Spicy Rigatoni alla Vodka and the Sweet Corn Agnolotti with sweet corn fonduta, basil oil, corn brodo, and Grana Padano. Both dishes more than lived up to their reputation. Even though we were happily full, we couldn't resist sharing a brownie topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce to finish the evening. From the outstanding food and attentive service to the fun, energetic atmosphere, Ospi delivered a memorable dining experience. We left with one unanimous decision--we'll definitely be back to work our way through the rest of the menu! read more

I saw this all over TikTok and I was thoroughly impressed. The drinks were fantastic but the food stole the show. Our waiter told us which items to get and he was amazing. The whipped ricotta was phenomenal and I can't wait to come back just for that. The kale salad was fresh and light, i loved the dressing they used on it. Also the lasagna was so good and my favorite dish. It sucks it leaves off the menu next week. Overall the restaurant was beautiful with amazing food. I'm so glad I got to try it! read more

Unreliable ordering process and poor communication made for a frustrating experience.

Really enjoyed checking out Ospi, just a couple weeks into opening! Great ambience and kind staff and the food was impressive...I'd go back to try out some things new and some things old! It was nice to see plenty of vegetarian options and we enjoyed their pizza and pasta and appetizers- so pretty well rounded! P.S. they have free valet so you don't have to stress about parking :) Cauliflower: 9/10 Emmy's Cheese Toast: 4/10 (the only thing that didn't hit and the ranch tasted weird too) Funghi Pizza: 8/10 (super thin-crust) Spicy Rigatoni: 10/10 Mandilli (pesto pasta): 7/10 Pro-tip: ask them for a side of the chili paste- it was a Calabrian chili paste and added so much flavor and a little spice to everything- especially the Cauliflower! read more

Had to try this new restaurant in town! They clearly take pride in their pasta (made from scratch daily, up to 3 different types of flour) and I'm sold - I had to try this southern Italian place in the design district. Feels like a neighborhood restaurant in your friends home. Rebeccas margarita - the craziest drink on the menu with the salt air - it threw us for a surprise! The basil and gran gala worked so nicely, came out more as a cool, leafy drink Lusty martini - basically a pornstar martini and I could taste the passion fruit with every sip, which made me happy. Cool as a cucumber - my favorite mocktail - clarified raspberry and cucumber juice. I would get a gallon of I could Whipped ricotta - insanely good bread and beautiful ricotta. I'll get their bread again in a heartbeat Scarpinocc - they say very brown butter but it was swimming in a lot of non-browner butter mixed with browned butter. As someone who browns their butter at home and likes the deep molasses flavor, I was disappointed. The dish is absolutely extraordinary for sure, but I didn't like it swimming in normal butter. The braised beef was A+ but the dough was more firm to the touch than I'd like in a dumpling format Mandilli - the silkiest, smoothest pesto I have ever tasted. They stayed true to the menu with the word silky! Lemon cheesecake - I'm not big on cheesecake but this was sublime. The lemon on the top was absolutely divine and done so well I'll be back! read more

Came here on Memorial Day Monday brunch-ish hours and walked in cautiously optimistic. Ospi took over the old Meddlesome Moth space, and the ambiance works well. Nice energy, good outdoor patio setup, and our waitress was genuinely excellent. she was attentive, accommodating, and pleasant throughout the meal. Quick correction for anyone reading: Ospi does have a brunch menu, but only Saturdays and Sundays. Since we came Monday for Memorial Day, that's on us. That said... the food ended up being wildly inconsistent. The cauliflower had a very good Calabrian sauce bringing nice heat and flavor, but the dates felt strange in the dish and threw off the balance. Hold the dates and this is actually pretty solid. The cheese toast was disappointing. Barely toasted bread served as two oversized pieces. Since it arrived cold, the cheese coagulated and the toast became soggy. The gluten-free pasta with spicy rigatoni sauce was serviceable. Not offensive, not memorable. Regular spicy rigatoni, though? Actually pretty good. The Kale & Kanpachi Salad was probably the biggest surprise of the meal fresh, balanced, and one of the few dishes I'd happily order again. Fungi pizza was another bright spot. Good crust, good sauce, and honestly one of the stronger executions we had all meal. The cacio e pepe was unfortunately atrocious. The sauce wasn't emulsified properly and turned grainy and broken. The pasta texture missed too.... It was undercooked without achieving proper al dente and everything clumped together into a knotted mess that was hard to enjoy. Chicken parmesan sandwich also missed hard. Dry chicken, and the bread-to-chicken ratio made absolutely no sense. Two smaller pieces sitting inside oversized bread. At ~$20, it should feel at least slightly elevated beyond something I could grab from Potbelly. Eggplant parmesan had similar bread issues, though the eggplant itself wasn't bad. Overall: fantastic service, nice patio, cool atmosphere, but a kitchen that felt all over the place. A couple strong dishes (salad, spicy rigatoni, fungi pizza) couldn't fully overcome some major misses. I'd come back for patio vibes and carefully selected menu items but not rushing back for a full meal. read more

I've been to Ospi three times now for lunch and have really enjoyed this spot in the old Meddlesome Moth. I've had several sandwiches including the godfather and chicken parm - both huge and delicious. I really liked the meatball app, cauliflower, and fried cheese. Had a salmon with the salad as well. Haven't done pasta or pizza yet but they look great. Staff is super attentive and food has been great. This will be part of my lunch rotation going forward. read more

With the intent to try "something different" in the Design District, we made a reservation for a Saturday evening at Ospi a few hours earlier. Seating for two was available was at the bar, which is fine. Bar seating leads to recommendations, entertainment as drinks are made and conversations with people that normally would not happen. Back to the experience... We were promptly seated, I ordered a glass of 'Super Tuscan' red wine, she ordered a 'Rebecca's Margarita'. The wine was good, the margarita fantastic. We ordered an appetizer of whipped ricotta, followed by entrees "Tonarelli" (cacio e Pepe) and Lasagna. Flavorful. Service was prompt, friendly, conversational. Water glasses never reached empty. Food arrived in an appropriate time. The decor is cool. pasta being made in one corner of the dining room. One wish would be to see a side salad added to the menu. It would have made the meal perfect. Give Ospi a try. We will be back. read more

Great service and the cocktails are delicious. The indoor covered patio gets HOT, not sure if it's an AC issue or what but it was really toasty at 7pm at night. The focaccia was disappointing but the kale salad and cacio e Pepe pizza are PHENOMENAL read more

Saw a TikTok video about Ospi and as an Italian food lover, had to try this place immediately. We ordered drinks and must I say the espresso martin,Amazing!! For the appetizer we order the whipped ricotta, my only complaint is the focaccia to whipped ricotta ratio was a little small. We had to order extra focaccia ( btw this is a $6.00 charge). Connor was sweet to walk us through the menu and recommended hai favorites, which was ironically the rigatoni . I asked Connor if it was better than Carbones which is ironically diagonal from the restaurant, and he said it was. He was telling the truth btw lol. I ordered the rigatoni with meatballs which were so moist and fulfilling. I was so full by the time I finished eating. My boyfriend order the paper plane & he loved his drink and got the Copione pizza. This place was actually kind of busy so try to get a reservation, if possible. It was dimly light and the music was pretty low so you don't have to worry about talking over one another. Would definitely recommend everyone try this place out! Thanks TikTok lol read more

I had been hearing so much about this restaurant that took over the old Meddlesome Moth space and gave it a shot! The bartender Gisele was just delightful. Ask for the espresso martini to be made from scratch not batch with a dash of Baileys and you won't regret it! I started with the eggplant appetizer and it was a success! Grilled eggplant with a tomato sauce with a kick to it! For one person this was so big I could have stopped ordering here! I took home half of it. Then I tried their pizza. I got the vodka pizza with the stracciatella cheese on the side in preparation to take some home. I almost wouldn't even call this a pizza. Granted it was very good..cracker thin, very thin crust. I like a thin pizza crust but surprisingly I can say this was too thin for me. Disappointingly, when I tried to reheat it the next day it was a huge failure. The restaurant if beautiful and the staff was excellent and friendly! When I go back I think I will try the pasta that is made from scratch. read more

I was really excited to try Ospi, but it was a huge disappointment from start to finish. The service was surprisingly poor. Our waiter spent most of the meal trying to upsell us instead of making sure we had a good experience. He strongly pushed the $50 ribs--which felt odd at an Italian restaurant--and also recommended the burrata and prosciutto appetizer. The problem? They forgot the burrata entirely. He also recommended the fried provolone, which ended up being one of the worst things we ordered. It was underwhelming and definitely not worth the hype. The service only got worse as the meal went on. Our empty drinks would be taken away without anyone asking if we wanted refills. Our silverware was cleared after one course and never replaced before the next until we had to ask. As for the food, the pizza was incredibly mediocre and nowhere near worth the price. To top it all off, my stomach was in shambles afterward. With so many great Italian restaurants in Dallas, I can't see myself ever coming back. Between the poor service, constant upselling, disappointing food, and overall lack of attention to basic hospitality, this place missed the mark. read more

My friend and I were both very disappointed in this restaurant for dinner! First off, they could not fulfill my first two requests for cocktails as apparently they don't have Amaretto or Creme de Cassis. Then all we could taste in the Caesar salad was anchovy. Then, we both had pasta and requested Parmesan. Rather than coming to the table to grate the cheese as they do in any nice Italian restaurant, they handed us a plastic container of ground Parmesan like what comes out of the green jar. The service was marginal. All in all a terrible experience for about $200 for two. Will not return to this restaurant! read more

Exactly what I hoped for as someone with high standards for Italian food. Lasagna was amazing. We also got the fried provolone and focaccia with whipped ricotta which I would get again.
