Loved dinner with my girlfriends here! It's such a charming space and the service and food were excellent. The standouts for me were the squash blossoms and the potato pizza. Would love to come back and try more! Parking, as in most of LA, is tricky. They have valet. read more

My dinner at Oste was pretty solid! It's a pretty popular Italian restaurant in LA so be sure to book a reservation in advance. They're known for their Roman-Style "Pinsa" (think pizza, but more flatbread shaped with a very crisp undercarriage and fun toppings). Otherwise they have some classic pasta & Italian dishes, done very deliciously. Started with the Caesar salad - pretty classic. The squash blossoms were super crispy and cheesy inside. For the Pinsa, we got the Funghi (mushrooms). It was topped with truffle oil as well, which gave it a super intense mushroom flavor. I absolutely loved it! I am always on the lookout for good pizza in LA and this delivered for me!! The crispy bottom really elevated it, which I think is a result of the different types of flours they use to make it. And honestly, this size pizza can serve at least 2, if not 3. I also brought some home, threw it in the air fryer, and it was just as good the next day! Do not let a single square inch of this delicious Pinsa go to waste! Also tried the pan seared Branzino which was super light and fresh. The service was great, I felt very well cared for and attended to. The waiters were also very happy to give suggestions on food & wine pairings. The vibe is great: young, vibrant, dimly lit, perfect for an Italian dinner date. Will be back soon to try more of their Pinsa flavor options! read more

Stumbled upon this charming Italian spot while I was looking for a good place to have dinner with my girl friends. They were easily able to accommodate 7 of us when reserved a week in advance. The staff were polite and welcoming and the owner even stopped by our table at the end of our night to chat. We split a bunch of appetizers: bread with olive oil, squash blossoms, caesar salads and burrata, of course. Everything was incredible, the caesar stood out as well as the burrata, the tomatoes that came with it were sooooo flavorful! We all ordered separate entrees. I got the short rib tortellini in cream sauce and it was fantastic. Heard it was the owners family recipe so had to try it. Dessert we got the olive oil cake and tiramisu, both great as well. Already planning to go back and try more items read more

OSTE - BURRATA PAPPA AL POMODORO - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Amazing meal! Glad we had a reservation on a Saturday night as they were super busy. The menu had so many different options but we knew we wanted to try pasta and a pizza. Going in we were going over order with the intent to bring food home just so we could taste more items on the menu. Started with FIORI DI ZUCCA which are squash blossoms stuffed with ricotta deep fried in a batter. Each bite was so delicious, a good amount of ricotta, and each bite was still super crispy. We also got XXTRA PEPPERONI LOVERS Pinsa. Crust was doughy yet crisp, not greasy at all I would just the right amount of cheese and sauce. So we knew that we would be full, but we wanted to try a couple pastas one red sauce, and one white sauce. The CACIO E PEPE I just the right amount of pepper and creamy sauce, noodles cooked perfectly. PAPPARDELLE ALLA VACCINARA was definitely my favorite, noodles in a braised oxtail ragu. Service was on point, checked on his frequently, but didn't rush us, even though the restaurant was super busy, and just overall very friendly. We would definitely go back to try more entrées and even get the pallardelle again with the squash blossoms. You have to pay for valet in the front but I would rather do that than to worry about parking. read more

I was visiting my friend who recommended this gem of a restaurant! We got the Claudia mussels which were to die for. The garlic white wine sauce was divine, and the mussels were so tender. I also really enjoyed the mortadella pizza. It was Roman style, so the crust was thin and crispy. It reminded me more of a flat bread, and it definitely brought me back to Italy! The caesar salad was cheesy and had some nice toasted breadcrumbs on top. It helped to break up all the carb heavy foods but didn't knock our socks off. The rigatoni was the least impressive of the dishes we ordered. It was cooked nicely al dente but tasted like it could have came from any Italian restaurant. Unfortunately, we were too full for dessert but will have to try their tiramisu next time! read more

Food is good! Parking is nonexistent (unless you want to valet). We found parking on 3rd street but it's metered but it was the only other option because the surrounding neighborhoods is permit parking only. I recommend the pinsas. We got the funghi one with egg. My husband got the oxtail ragu as well. Both of them are delicious. I like the thin crust and the chewy pasta. Surprisingly as an appetizer, I like the Caesar salad. It's basic but really good. Place is dog friendly. Make a reservation because the patio got busy. They are an Amex plat resy restaurant too! read more

What a charming place that I have never noticed on 3rd street. The patio is break-taking with nature and tall glass windows looking into the restaurant. | F O O D | Bolognese 8/10 - delicious! Burrata and Pesto 8/10 - beautiful, acidic, and just enough nuttiness Squash Blossoms 6/10 - light crisp and hint of lemon worked great Steak 6/10 - steak tastes like bacon which made it too rich, but salad balanced it Romanesco 2/10 - disgusting I dont know what they thought with this Caesar Salad 7/10 - lots of parm and good crunch | O V E R A L L | Oste is great even just to go for a pasta and wine to talk. The service was so attentive. They refilled our waters every time without asking and were always checking up on us not in a way that felt pushy. Would go back when more hungry to try their pizzas! read more

Returned after a two-year absence to a place we used to frequent when we lived in the neighborhood. Sat outside and ordered a pizza, a Caesar salad, and a pasta for our daughter. The Caesar arrived within minutes--slightly warm, which was odd. The pizza came out in a reasonable timeframe and was excellent: well-executed Roman-style crust and toppings, exactly as remembered. The pasta, however, was a different story. It took over 45 minutes to reach the table and arrived undercooked, with a visible white uncooked ring when cut in half. After clarifying the issue, it was sent back and a fresh plate arrived about 15 minutes later. By then it was time to leave. The children's pasta ($26) was not comped. Solid pizza and atmosphere, but the service timing and the undercooked pasta (plus the lack of any adjustment on a $26 kids' dish) left a sour note on an otherwise nostalgic visit. read more

This place continues to be my favorite restaurant nearby. Good service, they're consistently busy especially for dinner (good sign), and great food. I always get a pinsa here - carbonara is my personal favorite. Husband loves the extra pepperoni but I find the meats make it a bit too salty for my taste. Can't go wrong here. So delicious. Would recommend making a reservation for dinner for quick seating. read more

We will definitely be going back to this restaurant when we are nearby! read more

OSTE - Food was so amazing. We literally finished it all! - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Saturday night at 7:30 and the place was buzzing - Huge acknowledgement for the hostess who was managing the madness, walk-ins, impatient customers, etc. She smiled genuinely to everyone and was very helpful (even getting us a drink while we waited 5 minutes for our table). Big menu which was exciting and at least from 1st glance did not have overwhelming prices.. Menu for muscles!?!? Reminded us of being on the East Coast as you don't really see this kind of option normally in LA. This was our favorite item of the night (Sofia) - perfectly cooked muscles w/the right blend of garlic, lemon juice, etc.. we couldn't stop dunking bread into the broth and took a few spoonfuls of it as well Pappardelle Great sized portion and the oxtail was super tender and delicious Chicken Milanese Was our least favorite as the seasoned breading was too overpowering for this dish that is always in our Italian rotation Pannacotta Nice contrast of textures, between the creamy pannacotta, strawberries, coulis and crunch Overall, an impressive meal with great service. No doubt we'll be back soon as we hardly put a dent in the menu and the pizzas looked great Quick tip - use valet as parking is tough on 3rd and most of the residential streets are permit read more

Food was absolutely delicious with great quality. We ordered a margarita pinsa (Roman style pizza) with prosciutto and grilled octopus to start. Both dishes were amazing. The grilled octopus was one of the best if not the best grilled octopus I've ever had! It was perfectly charred on the outside and tender and soft on the inside- not chewy at all. And the puree with capers paired so well with it. For entrees, we ordered sea bass and seafood squid ink pasta (fruti di mare). Both dishes were excellent and delicious. Flavors were on point and the seafood was fresh. Cocktail drinks were also refreshing and tasty. For dessert, we had the chocolate tart and added vanilla bean gelato and it was scrumptious. Service was great. Our waitress was friendly and professional. The entire staff was quick yet very cordial. Food came out fast because of the time limit restriction. Ambiance is cute and charming. The restaurant is quite small even with a patio, so it can get very crowded and a bit tight. Portions can be seen on the smaller side, but it does match the price considering the food quality they offer. Such an amazing meal overall, and I will definitely be back to try other dishes. read more

I've seen several videos about this place, so I was excited when I got to finally check off another one on my list! Overall, I loved everything about this place! The bread and pizza crust were absolute perfection; thin with crispy, cracker-like edges and soft pockets in between, giving you the best of both worlds. We started with the burrata bar with prosciutto, topped with pistachios, and added a bread basket to enjoy it with. So good. The Caesar salad was perfection, especially the crispy croutons crumbled throughout. The Funghi pizza was delicious with rich truffle flavor, and the Oxtail Pappardelle ended up being my favorite of the night. Every dish felt thoughtfully made and full of flavor. This place is on my list now for when I want good pizza! read more

Oste has been popping up on my IG feed so my friends and I decided to make our way over for Dinner. We made reservation through Resy and it was easy enough. There usually plenty of dates to choose from. Oste does have valet parking or you can try your luck on street or meter parking. Oste offers inside or outside dining. I feel like inside is more of a date night vibes if you want to chit chat but outside offers more of a fun vibes. A bit louder and bigger tables. What we ate: Homemade bread & Evoo - the basket was $3. Why not, you can use it to dip or soak up from the other dishes Burrata E San Daniele - this came with a burrata, prosciutto, pistachios, and evoo. This did not come with bread so lucky we got the homemade bread so we can eat it together. It was delicious. I love burrata. Baby Gem Lettuce Caesar - very good Caesar salad. I liked the amount of dressing, the size of the lettuce, and crunch of the bread crumbs Pappardelle Alla Vaccinara - Braised oxail ragu with pappardelle pasta. It was a good pasta dish. Funghi Pinsa - this is like a pizza but the crust is much better. It didn't feel too heavy. I really love the amount of mushroom and ingredients that was on this pizza. it was really good and definitely the best thing I ate here. Tiramisu - it was good not my favorite but good. The service was really wonderful. The staff was super friendly and checked up on us multiple times and made sure everything was up to par. The staff has big smiles all around. Overall, a great place to come and try out. read more

My family took me here for my birthday, but overall, I'd say the experience was just okay. We started with the garlic mussels, which were delicious and came with a flavorful sauce. The prosciutto pizza, however, was a bit bland--though the mozzarella was fresh. The pasta had a generous portion of meat and good flavor, but unfortunately, it was undercooked and not quite al dente. The branzino was a standout dish--tasty and uniquely served over couscous. For dessert, we had the tiramisu, which was rich and delicious. Service was inconsistent--staff checked on us several times before we ordered, but once our food arrived, it was difficult to get anyone's attention for the dessert menu. The interior is dimly lit and has a cozy, romantic atmosphere--perfect for a date night. read more

Walked on with a party of 2 on a Friday afternoon. The outside area was already packed.(it was a great day for the weather) We were seated inside and immediately were asked what we like to drink. The service was extremely attentive and open to giving us great recommendations. We ended up ordering on of their pinsas, burrata and cacio e Pepe. The burrata was so fresh and the pesto delicious. My favorite was the pinsa. I forget the name but it had all the best toppings. Would try this place again. read more

Oste quickly became one of my favorite spots. The service was exceptional from every staff in this establishment. Our server was attentive, kind, and had great recommendations. We ordered the Sofia mussels, Calabrese pizza, and Pappardelle alla Vaccinara, and every dish was full of flavor that truly lingers. The Calabrese pizza was perfect, crisp crust that doesn't flop, a satisfying crunch, and just the right amount of spice for a pleasant kick. The Pappardelle with braised oxtail was incredible, tender, rich, and deeply flavorful. Their bread, made with rice flour, is light, fluffy, and slightly crunchy on the outside. Dipping it into the mussels' white wine, parsley, and lemon sauce was pure perfection. I'll definitely be coming back again and again. read more

The food at this restaurant is simply extraordinary! I've been there many times and not once have I been disappointed. The ancient Roman style pizzas called pinza are remarkable.

Great Italian restaurant with a very large menu! I was impressed by the sheer volume of all they had to offer and I could tell it was all going to taste good no matter what we ordered. My friends and I came on a Wednesday night and made a reservation ahead of time. All of the tables did fill up by 8pm so making a reservation is probably a good idea. We sat outside which was a little tight among all the other tables but in my opinion better than inside which was really loud and difficult to hear. I forgot to take pictures of the appetizers we got but we ordered the cauliflower and bone marrow to start. The bone marrow was a favorite and we all loved that they squeezed out fresh garlic at the table onto the plate to complement. We also got 2 pizzas and a pasta. For pizzas we got the carbonara and the fungi. The carbonara had a whole egg on it - impressive! The fungi was good if you're a mushroom lover like me. The pappardelle alla vaccinara was really rich and filling. Great for sharing! The 4 of us also split 3 desserts because we all have a big sweet tooth. My favorite was the tiramisu but the chocolate tart was also a favorite among everyone. Parking can be difficult in this area as it's all street parking so just buffer in some extra time to find a spot. read more

Unfortunately this place wasn't that great. I wanted to love it, I really did! The meal started off strong with the best mussels I have ever had in my life, 10/10 no notes. Got the Sofia, so fresh, so flavorful, lots of soupy buttery garlic dipping sauce that was insane. The bread was absolutely amazing as well as a dipper. Then came the pepperoni pizza. My husband loves pizza, and never really complains about any pizza because he loves it so much. The cheese on the pizza tasted like Sargento, cold and bland, it was disappointing. The bread itself was great but my husband had to douse the pizza in Parmesan to change the flavor. It was just not good, sadly. I got the chicken Milanese which was very dry, the potatoes were soooo oily which made them soggy instead of crispy. too many competing flavors in the dish, unbalanced flavor overall. Service was great and friendly! The food was just a bit of a letdown. read more

Delicious food and chill vibe . The bar is nice to sit and eat. Staff is friendly and I love their mussels

What a lovely interior - old world cafe with beautiful finishes. Warm and professional staff. A minor discrepancy was handled immediately and with grace. The food was exquisite and plentiful. The olive oil was bright and peppery. The arancini were perfectly cooked and the filling was deeply mishroomy. Pizza crusts were puffy with a great chew. Toppings were extremely generous. The ragu on the pappardelle was incredible - rich and unctuous. The budino was cooked perfectly. A tad on the sweet side; an espresso would have been the perfect accompaniment. Next time. read more

I have been wanting to try this place forever and finally got the chance! Came here with my mom on a Thursday night without reservations around 7 and we're seated immediately at the bar. The owner/manager was there helping people out and he was so lovely. So great to see that he is so involved. We were recommended to get an appetizer, pizza and pasta. If it's just two of you I would definitely say stick to two dishes because we had a lot leftover!!! I had been wanting to try one of the burratas and it was amazing. We ordered the house bread on the side which seems to be very similar to their pizza bread. The pesto was so herby and the burrata was rich and creamy. The mint and peas were a unique touch. The prosciutto pizza came out with a beautiful aroma of truffle and the stracciatella was very creamy. My mother and I do not usually like pizza but the pinsa was great! It wasn't too heavy or greasy. The oxtail ragu papardelle was also good. The noodles were perfectly al dente, but it was one of the more average tasting dishes. Next time I will be trying to tortellini! read more

I have heard great things about this place and finally got a chance to try it out. They were pretty busy during the evening so definitely recommend making reservations especially for special occasions. We started off with their handmade bread and evoo.

Also tried their Patate Pinsa which was a tad bit salty for my taste but still pretty good. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. read more

Delicious! I love Italian food so my boyfriend was looking for a place to go for date night. We had a reservation right before the dinner time rush started. Service was quick and friendly. The restaurant is beautiful and pretty spacious for LA. We really liked the pappardelle! It was so flavorful, the short rib was really tender, and the pasta was perfectly chewy. We also had a margarita pizza with extra prosciutto on top. While it was pretty good it wasn't our favorite. The crust is crunchy and the prosciutto was a great addition. It wasn't too salty. We could tell it was fresh and high quality. We will definitely be back to try more items on the menu! read more

We were in the area and we decided to walked a bit early on a Saturday evening without reservations. They were kind enough to find us a table and were seating in few minutes. Ambiance is great; lively and great sitting area. For food we order bunch of different things: To start we got bread and olive oil, Suppli Al Tartufo (Risotto fried balls), and Carciofi Alla Giudia (deep fried artichoke). All of these appetizers were great. Ofcourse fried risotto balls and artichoke were delicious. Absolutely recommend. For mains we had: Viva l'italia - excellent pizza!, Paccheri Al Pomodoro (large tube pasta in tomato sauce, and tortellini. All the food was delicious and made to its perfection. Sauce in all these pasta dishes were amazing. Food was full of flavors all the pastas were al dente! For dessert we tried their classic tiramisu and it was absolutely to die for!!

I live nearby and I can't believe I've not been until last week. What a fabulous neighborhood gem! The Caesar was absolutely fantastic, and the artichoke hearts were quite interesting. The pepperoni pizza was good, and my pappardelle was also quite nice though the hit of the evening was the mussels...the Sofia was easily one of the best mussels I've had in a while. I could sip that broth every day! Our server Alec was friendly and attentive and the owner Alessandro was charming and personable. His presence throughout the evening made for a truly "neighborhood place" feel. The inside hasn't changed much since the previous establishment and it's kept its charm and elegance. Outside seating is plentiful as well for al fresco dining and people watching. Parking can be troublesome but they do offer valet. Beware of parking in the adjacent streets as they're permit parking.

Came to Oste to celebrate a friend's birthday! After doing some research on the menu before coming here, I realized I was going to have a VERY tough decision on what to eat. The pizzas, pastas, and meat dishes all looked top-notch. In the end, I decided to choose a Calabrese pizza because Oste serves Roman-style pizza, and you don't see that every day. Pizza was thin and crispy and the toppings were perfectly spread out on the top. Very good! I did sneak a taste of my friend's Lasagna al Forno and it was pretty damn good. For desserts, we shared a Butterscotch Budino, Oste Tiramisu, and Limoncelle Olive Oil Cake. Of the three, the Butterscotch Budino was easily my favorite. Service was solid. They were very friendly with us and took care of us well. Oste's ambiance is definitely more suitable to daytime than nighttime in my opinion. The huge glass walls provide huge light for the interior and makes for a very welcoming environment. Also, there was plentiful outdoor seating as well. Definitely need to come back to try some of the other items on the menu, rather than just look at them since my friends ordered exactly what was on mind! read more

+5/5 Delicious Italian food in a lively environment . We went on a Saturday evening. Hostess was attentive and friendly, seated us a few minutes after our 730pm reservation. Place was packed and I can see why ! We had the funghi pizza with egg and Calabrian chili. Crust was crunchy but soft on the inside. Enjoyed it a lot . Our favorite was their oxtail pasta . Deliciously rich from the fatty braised oxtail . Fresh wide noodles which were delicious and clearly freshly made . She had the bone marrow and loved it, I tried some and it was tasty but not my usual go-to. Bread basket was yummy freshly made bread but nothing special honestly... I would prefer a freshly baked pita at my favorite Lebanese spot. Price was very reasonable for two of us to dine in this area of town with 3 dishes + bread basket for about $100. Dinner in LA for two is getting crazy expensive and I was relieved by their reasonable pricing . Service was friendly Will be back read more
