Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend coming here for birthdays or anniversaries. I've never had pasta this delicious before. We ordered the Ricotta & Egg Raviolo and the Bauletti. The raviolo was divine, perfect amount of cheese and not too heavy. The Bauletti was also so delicious, it was lemony and so good. I really wanted to just keep ordering these dishes! Then we got the lamp chops and the beef tagliata. The lamb chops were so yummy and the seasoning and tomatoes was really good. The beef tagliata was tender and juicy. We finished off with tiramisu. I liked the cream at the top but I was whatever about the cake itself. It was like a sponge cake but it tasted a bit too wet and mushy. The cream at the top was delicious though. Not too sweet. Service was good and professional. Our waiter helped recommend some cocktails and explained our pastas before we ordered. Highly recommend. I want to go back already! read more

My overall experience here was great, but understood why it's a 1 star Michelin. General vibe of the restaurant can be split in two ways: live and vibrant dining or quiet and cozy. The main hall is where the activities are with the kitchen and bar so it tends to be quite loud inside. We wanted to go somewhere quieter so we asked to go somewhere other than the main hall, a bit deep inside the restaurant that is smaller in dining space but much more intimate and quieter in conversations. Our servers and even the servers I passed by have been all great. We ordered 5 dishes, including dessert. The Caesar salad is deconstructed but I enjoyed combining all the elements in one bite and we loved the dressing. That salad was almost perfect, just wished we had a little more of the romaine lettuce because the salad was so good. The bread that comes with the eggs was perfection. We did also order some side bread to eat with our pasta later on and the bread was also delicious. I wish I can just togo the bread on the side. For the pastas, I had the ravioli and my husband had the tagliatelle. At first, the proportions seemed small for mine. Both pasta dishes were excellent, love the fresh pasta. Because my ravioli tends to be creamy, if I had more of what was given to me, I think I would've thought that it was starting to get greasy and had enough of it. So I think the chef put that in consideration to give just enough amount so you enjoy that dish fully. The oxtail was soft and went well with the tagliatelle, my husband enjoyed it. By the time we finished our meals we were actually pretty full, it was just the right amount for us (maybe a little less if you are a big eater). We were curious about the dessert so we ordered the gelato/sorbet. You get 3 flavor choices, but we ended up getting only 2. We ordered the passion fruit mango (loved this so much), banana, and cookies and cream (this was missing in our cup). We didn't really want to ask to bring our missing gelato because it was getting late and just wanted to drive back home soon. It's a nice place to go to treat yourself or your loved ones. read more

Had an absolutely lovely dinner experience here - how lucky we are to have such incredible Italian food in LA! First, the food: Nancy's Caesar - a truly unique take, classic Caesar in a whimsical format Orecchiette - loved the chewy texture and the flavor of the sausage but found it a little bit too salty for my taste Tagliatelle - truly spectacular dish recommended by our waiter, plenty of meat Duck confit - the best duck confit I've ever had - the skin was a nice light crisp and the meat was delightfully tender. The pear mostarda was a bright accompaniment and the brussels were also a nice light balance but a little bit too sour. Rosemary olive oil cakes - this was described to us as mini muffins, fluffy and light and great flavor combination with the ice cream and brittle. I'll echo what others have said about the service - impeccable. Our waters were refilled, tablecloths were cleaned, and dishes replaced. A great spot for a date night! read more

Osteria Mozza - Tagliatelle with oxtail ragu - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

Osteria Mozza is one of the long established Italian restaurants in Los Angeles. The restaurant is owned by James Beard Award-winning Chef Nancy Silverton and Joe Bastianich from MasterChef. Osteria Mozza received one Michelin star in 2008 and maintained its Michelin star in 2025 and is currently ranked #71 on the LA Times 101 Best Restaurants in 2025. In addition to this flagship location, another location was opened in Washington, DC in November 2024. Two sister restaurants, Pizzeria Mozza and Chi Spacca, are located adjacent to Osteria Mozza. [Reservation]: I was able to book a table via OpenTable. There's a 15 minute grace period on the reservation time. A table is reserved up to 1.75 hour for parties up to 2. A credit card is needed to secure a reservation via OpenTable. No-shows or cancellations less than 24 hours in advance will be subject to a charge of $40 per person. [Parking]: Valet parking is $16 for lunch and $17 for dinner. Street parking can be tricky due to restricted parking signs, but I was able to find free street parking on Waring Ave between N Citrus Ave and N Highland Ave. [Atmosphere]: Our party actually missed the entrance door as the door only had directional arrows for Pizzeria Mozza and Chi Spacca. The staff let us choose between bar seats or a table and our party ultimately chose the bar seats. The dinner lasted from 5:45 PM to 7:45 PM. [Menu]: Some of top highlighted dishes are Grilled Octopus, Tagliatelle, Ricotta & Egg Raviolo, Orecchiette (also recommended by the Michelin Guide), Rosemary Olive Oil Cakes (also recommended by the Michelin Guide), and Grilled 8 Oz. Beef Tagliata. The menu is separated into 6 categories - Mozzarella Bar, Antipasti, Primi, Secondi, Contorni, and Dolci. All dishes are considered sharable. *** [Mozzarella Bar] Burrata & Bacon (marinated escarole & caramelized shallots - $25): A complex flavor profile with the escarole enhancing the overall flavor. The chewiness of the bacon enhanced to the overall texture and the oozing cheese was great. [Antipasti] Grilled Octopus (potato, celery, green onion & lemon - $34): An interesting texture as the octopus had meaty and mushy flavors. The celery also cut through the overall flavor profile. [Primi] Ricotta & Egg Raviolo (with browned butter $27): This is one of their signature dishes that many influencers recommend. It was a very cheesy dish and I thought it was alright. [Primi] Orecchiette (fennel sausage & Swiss chard - $36): This dish had a nice chewy texture with an added crunch from almonds. I could definitely taste the strong sausage flavor and I like it. [Primi] Tagliatelle (oxtail ragu - $34): Tasted on the lighter side - a lovely dish with a very balanced flavor profile. [Secondi] Grilled 8 oz. Beef Tagliata (rucola, Parmigiano Reggiano & aceto balsamico - medium rare, $56): S-tier steak - super tender, flavorful, and juicy. The arugula and cheese added a nice balance to the flavor profile. [Dolci] Rosemary Olive Oil Cakes (Monini olive oil gelato & rosemary brittle - $22): S-tier dessert with an amazing olive oil ice cream. The cake was fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. *** Our party was completely full and ended up boxing Tagliatelle (oxtail ragu). In hindsight, our party of two probably should have ordered two items from the Primi section instead of three items and kept everything else the same. With that being said, our party had a great experience at Osteria Mozza and the food lived up to our expectations. read more

Dining at Osteria Mozza was an incredible experience, especially for our group since the kitchen was very accommodating in preparing vegetarian versions of the dishes for our entire table. We ordered à la carte across the menu so we could try a little bit of everything. For antipasti, the Burratina Pugliese was easily one of the highlights of the night -- silky, fresh burrata paired with peppers and olive oil that brought out the creaminess perfectly. The Burricotta with spiced walnuts, radicchio, honey, and fried rosemary was another standout. It had a beautiful balance of sweetness, bitterness, and crunch that made it incredibly memorable. The primi course completely stole the show. Every pasta we tried was excellent, but the Tagliolini "Da Francescana" with 36-month white cow Parmigiano was the clear favorite -- simple, rich, and deeply flavorful in a way that shows how powerful great ingredients can be. The Butternut Squash Tortelloni and Orecchiette Pomodoro were also fantastic. By this point, we were already getting quite full because the pasta course was just that good. For secondi, we were honestly struggling to keep up because the primi had already filled us up, but the dishes themselves were still very well executed. The Roasted Baby Carrots were amazing -- beautifully cooked with spiced seeds and carrot leaf pesto that elevated the dish. The Cipollini Onions were surprisingly memorable: incredibly soft, tender, and flavorful with none of the sharpness you normally associate with onions. Dessert was the perfect finish. The Bombolini with huckleberry compote and lemon curd were light and indulgent at the same time, and the Tiramisu with hazelnuts, espresso, and mascarpone was rich, balanced, and truly chef's kiss. Overall, an exceptional meal. The burratina and the pastas (especially the tagliolini) were the stars, and the kitchen's willingness to accommodate vegetarian requests made the experience even better for our group. I would absolutely return just for those dishes. read more

Wow. This was probably one of my favorite meals I've had in a while!!! Alyssa was our server and she is a pure comedian, I liked her. So personable, so funny, and just on it the entire night. We had reservations and when we got to the host we decided to sit at the countertop by the dairy/cheese/bread prep area (highly recommend if you can). Watching everything come together made it even more fun. The amount of cedar salads that were made... wow! Okay... FOOD. We started with the burnt mozzarella (added extra garlic toast because obviously) and the grilled octopus. The burnt mozzarella with prosciutto + that crispy, garlicky bread?? Elite. No notes. Octopus (good but not memorable) Then we had this ravioli that was one giant square... and when I tell you we took the leftover bread and dipped it into the sauce that came out of it... unreal. So simple, very satisfying. For mains, we ordered the steak (I think it's the only one on the menu). The steak itself was good, but the arugula was a little too bitter for my liking. The sauce was a balsamic vinegar type? It was whatever but the texture of the meat was reallyyy good. HOWEVER. The duck?? Friggin amazing. So soft, buttery, perfectly cooked and it came with this sweet apricot jam that made it so memorable. You need to order it. We also ordered this pasta w burnt crumbs on top IT WAS SO GOOD Orechietta? so good 9/10 We also went all in on dessert and got three scoops of ice cream: chocolate, salted caramel, and vanilla. Plus the olive oil cake which was so interesting in the best way. Drinks were just as good. We had a white wine that is similar to a Sancerre= super crisp and delicious and a cucumber gin gimlet that was dangerously refreshing. Highly recommend dining in and just going all out. Make it a whole experience. It was such a lovely night. And thank you again to Alyssa for your amazing table service! Love the aesthetics of the place and it was so packed! On a Wednesday night I was so surprised! read more

Dim, moody lighting with a bustling, energetic feel with a mozzarella bar where you can watch the action. It's sophisticated but not stuffy, with well-dressed crowds and informed, attentive service. Great for dates, celebrations, or impressing out-of-towners. Don't skip the Mozzarella Bar, seasonal pairings (peach, leeks), smoked mozzarella di bufala, and various condimenti. All creamy, high-quality, and flavorful. The real stars are the pastas. Ricotta & egg raviolo (rich, yolk-running perfection in sage butter or seasonal options. Handmade, al dente, and packed with flavor. For other items, grilled octopus and crispy duck confit were solid and generous. Portions allow family style ordering. The wine list is extensive and Italian-focused--perfect for pairing. Could get pricey expect $100+ pp easily with drinks. A Hollywood staple for refined Italian food that punches above with its mozzarella and pastas. If you love fresh handmade pasta and cheese in an energetic setting, it's worth the reservation and splurge. read more

I have been wanting to try Osteria Mozza for a long time because of all the great things I have heard, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We did not have a reservation but were able to get seats at the bar, which turned out to be a great experience. The bartender was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the menu in detail and gave excellent recommendations, which made ordering easy and enjoyable. For our entrées, we ordered the braised short rib and the tagliatelle, and both were so delicious. I also had fresh white truffle shaved onto my pasta, which took the dish to another level. Everything was rich, comforting, and perfectly executed. One thing to note is that the restaurant is on the smaller side, and seating is fairly close together, but it did not take away from the experience. If anything, it adds to the lively, bustling atmosphere of the space. Great food, great service, and a classic Hollywood dining experience. I would definitely come back. read more

Went here for a nice night out with some friends and had an absolutely lovely dinner! Our server was very nice and professional and service overall was excellent throughout the night. We didn't know much about wine (just said we are wanting a smooth white wine) and said as such to our server who brought over the sommelier who let us try something he thought we'd like and it was a great choice. Then we got a bunch of plates to share for appetizers & entrees. The octopus was a real highligh, cooked wonderfully and had a nice char. How a place's octopus is, really is the barometer for me so if it's good and not rubbery, everything else will usually be great. Then got the mozzarella flight which came with some of the best bread I've ever had. Perfectly fluffy with a light crisp edge. Lastly got the little gem lettuce to round it out. Thought it was solid, but nothing life changing. Don't think I'd order it again given the price. For entrees we each got pastas and then split some meat. Everything we got was great. I personally got the rabbit tagliatelle, and my friends got oxtail ragu. And then for meat we got the duck confit and the branzino. Again both excellent. Overall great experience here and absolutely worth the hype to me. Would love to go back! read more

I've eaten here twice; and I thought I'd write a review since I visited semi-recently. Thank you Yelpers for guiding me on what to order this most recent time. I really enjoyed the Egg Yolk Ravioli, octopus (so soft and tender!!!!), burrata sampler (ugh! I was in cheese heaven!), orecchiette with fennel (sooo good- texture was amazing), tagliatelle with oxtail (meh, it was good but you can skip this because it didn't stand out- oxtail felt soggy). For dessert, we requested a dessert from their sister restaurant - a chocolate budino- and OMG, that was amazing too. Ambiance was great - not too packed on a week night. Parking is kinda annoying. And that particular day, there wasn't an option for valet. Service was very attentive. I was so thankful that they were able to meet my requests for the special dessert! Food came out reasonably quick. I do think some of their tables are too close together though - which could mess with the vibe. Overall, nice experience. I recommend having a reservation because the place did fill up, even for a week day. read more

We had our company dinner at Osteria Mozza and it was amazing - the people, the food, the attention to detail, just everything. My review could be all about the Fett'unda because it was such perfection - the olive oil, garlic and salt bread with braised leeks and burrata - it was my absolute favorite. We also had the Ragu Bolognese, another crowd favorite, and their Porcini-rubbed Ribeye with Cipollini Onions that were sweet and vinegary - very delicious. The ambiance was warm and the staff were without a doubt dedicated to giving us a great night. This was our second time here and certainly, not the last. read more

I brought my gf here for a cute date and made a reservation beforehand. I arrived at 6pm just in time for my reservation and was promptly seated. Side note, street parking is free after 6pm. We got a rosa spritz, grilled octopus, linguine, and tagliatelle. The orders came pretty closely one by one starting with appetizer then mains. The grilled octopus was the best I've had for a seafood based appetizer. The grilled octopus had a nice char to it and went well with the refreshing acidity of the salad underneath. The linguine had a nice ocean taste mixed with strong spiciness from the chiles. The pasta was a bit too al dente for my taste and not as chewy. The tagliatelle was perfectly al dente though. That combined with super flavorful and tender oxtail ragu was just chef's kiss. Lastly we got an apple borsellino as dessert. It was delicious but not particularly unique. Overall, really good food for an equally high cost. The pastas were truly on another level compared to all the other Italian restaurants in west LA. For its price point, Osteria Mozza is the best in this category. read more

This is my second time going to Osteria Mozza. I was inspired to try the Pasta Tasting menu after watching the Chef's Table episode on Nancy Silverton (I also got to meet her this time!!!). I love the ambience of this restaurant. It's very formal. For the pasta tasting experience, I was seated next to the bar. The bartender recommended the Chianti and I went with that. To start off, I received a complimentary prosciutto with truffle butter. So simple yet so delicious. This was followed by the first course - Goat Cheese Ravioli. This was sublime. Next, I had the tortellini in chicken broth. This was fabulous. My favourite from the night was the butternut squash tortelloni. How do you make pasta a dessert? Dates is the answer. I would have never thought of this. Loved every bite I had. The last pasta was the bucatini alla amatriciani. This was also well executed. For dessert, as part of the menu, they had the canelé. I also ordered the tiramisu. They were both great. The staff was super courteous. 15/10 recommend. read more

All you have to say is Nancy Silverton. It's a 10 out of 10. Superb! We let our server Paul order for us and he hit all the favorites. Not a bad course among them. We loved the space, large but not too loud. I really loved how huge the counter was. Even though we were sitting at a table I was already planning for next time to sit at the counter. The duck, best duck served as a half duck Ive ever had. Nancy's Caesar salad was supreme, and that single ravioli with the egg inside a MUST! Can't wait to go back! read more

I really wanted to love this place but was honestly let down by my experience here--especially considering it has a michelin star. My friends and I had a reservation for 7:15, we got there on time, but took forever to get seated. They originally told us that the current table was wrapping up, but then had to wait quite a bit. The host finally came by to give us an update only to say that the table is still paying. After some more waiting, they finally too us to our table. The interior was very nice and the walls are packed with wines. We ordered the Nancy Casear, Linguini, Tagliatelle, and Branzino. We enjoyed the Nancy Casear and the Tagliatelle. The food was good but didn't feel that special. The Linguini wasn't really to our taste. Portions are on the small side as well. Our main issue was that the food came out incredibly slow. They said they will time the courses to come out accordingly but we had to wait so long in between each course. Definitely soured our experience. read more

I really wanted to enjoy my visit as I had not had a chance to go to Osteria Mozza. My partner had been talking about this place for the longest time and he finally decided to make a reservation for my birthday. We checked in and upon entering, it's such a beautiful ambiance. We were seated close to the wine cellars but had our own table to ourselves. I actually enjoyed the fact that there was a bday card on the table so I figured it'd be worth our while. Neither of us had been so we wanted to experience it all from beginning to end. We first started with the Burrata & Bacon, which while good, was not my favorite. I felt we should have chosen the Burrata & Braised leeks. We may just try it out one day. We then followed it up with Nancy's Caesar, which was a cute deconstructed salad which was very delectable by the way. Next, we had this beautiful sweet corn filled pasta. I believe it was in season, so it was about to be removed on the menu. It was a good thing we tried it! We weren't too enthused by the Cucumbers & Ricotta. I'm not sure if it was properly made or if it was just put together without seasoning it correctly. Lastly, we finished with the Crispy Duck Confit. It was not crispy. It was tough to the touch. We asked for a knife because of it, and one of the staff members was surprised by the fact we asked for a knife. It didn't taste like confit duck and although the flavor was nice, it looked roasted. We were there to celebrate my birthday, so for us to turn the duck away was quite the shocker for us. The server we had was great, so don't get me wrong. But the food wasn't as inspiring as we had hoped it would be and we didn't get to quite savor everything we had intended to in its entirety due to lack of flavor. read more

Had a great anniversary dinner at Osteria Mozza. It has been on my list for at least 15 years so was really excited to try it. Everything we ate was good, but it was lacking that punch to make this place a 5 star for me. We had the octopus, Branzino, tagliata, tiramisu and mousse dessert. The desserts were very over priced but very tasty. All in all, when I spend $400 for two on a meal I expect it to be mind blowing and it just missed the mark for me . Service was impeccable though! We sat at the bar and the bartenders ate fantastic. read more

One of our favorite restaurants in L.A. Try the burrata and the pork slow cooked and falls off the bone. Branzino is a winner too. The octopus and salads and the chocolate mouses were all fantastic. The bread is some of the best I've ever had but don't get it because it might fill you up, It's absolutely massive!!! You can basically make a meal of it, so don't! They are also home to the greatest waitress I've ever seen in any restaurant anywhere in the world. She works behind the bar... I think her name is Lisa or Elyse ..something like that. She's the closest thing to White lightning I've ever seen. read more

We sat at the countertop for dinner service and it was beautiful, overall great experience. The appetizers were delicious but on the smaller side when compared to other LA Italian restaurants. The cheese could do with more salt, in my opinion. We ordered four pastas and all of them tasted lovely, with differences based on our personal preferences. My favorite was the butternut squash tortellini. I don't think anything in particular stood out as groundbreaking so I wouldn't make a special trip across LA to eat here unless it was for a special occasion but is a nice local date night spot. read more

One of my favorite meals I've ever had, Osteria Mozza knocks it out of the park. Our food, server, and seating were all amazing. We had bar seating where we could look over and see them preparing the bread and other various starters. It was very neat to be able to see how they grilled up the bread. Bar seating can be annoying when you don't have enough space for your food, but the service was so attentive there was never too much out and plates were cleared so quickly. We started with the mozzarella tasting which included 3 different types of mozzarella. Each was so different from one another and I've never been so impressed with mozzarella before. But the real standout is the bread (fett'unta). The bread is so crunchy, salty, with soft interior, it's the perfect complement to the mozzarella. The Nancy's Caesar is a deconstructed Caeser Salad with pieces of lettuce on one side of the plate with a layer of grilled bread with leek, egg, and anchovies. Our server told us the best way to eat it was to combine the bread part and lettuce which was hard to do with how hard it was to cut through the bread. I found the lettuce side to have a bit too strong of a vinaigrette, just a bit too much lemon for my taste. I found this dish to be a bit too much work to eat but it still does taste great. The bavette Cacio e Pepe is extremely simple, basic, and delicious. It's exactly what you expect from a simple dish made in a high quality restaurant. My favorite dish of the night was the tagliatelle oxtail ragu. The ragu was so savory and rich with the oxtail just falling apart at every bite. One of my favorite pastas I've ever had. The crispy duck confit was also splendid. The crispy outside holds in the steaming hot and tender duck. The corn that comes with it is also great. The pear mostarda adds a sweet and spicyness to the duck that changes the whole dish. The tiramisu is a very high quality tiramisu with a nice addition of hazelnuts on top. I dislike how soaked the base of the tiramisu gets as it gives a wet bread texture, but this is true of almost all tiramisus. The hazelnuts do help with adding some much needed texture. The 10/10 dessert was the chocolate mousse. Everything about this dish is spectacular. The deep rich chocolate mousse complemented with the salty crunch of the croutons, topped with the gelato to challenge the chocolate. This is one of my favorite desserts of all time. For such high quality food, it was pretty cheap compared to a lot of other Michelin restaurants or just other high end restaurants. We only spent two nights in LA and I'm so glad one of them was here at Osteria Mozza. I would absolutely come back on my next trip to LA. read more

I've been here twice. The first time was for dinner, and the food was amazing. We ordered the Ricotta & Egg Riviolo, duck, panzanella, and another pasta--everything was delicious, and the service was great. The second visit was for a pasta tasting that I booked as a Christmas gift for my husband, and unfortunately it was a bit disappointing. To start, it was a Tuesday night, and when I arrived, the host told me we only had an hour and a half and would need to give up our table. I found this very bizarre--especially since we might have wanted to order additional items. I think it's rude to say that upfront. This is an Italian restaurant, and part of the culture is to sit, enjoy, connect, and savor the food, not rush through it. I also didn't find the pasta tasting to be very valuable for the price. There was only one pasta we truly enjoyed--the butternut squash ravioli with dates. read more

Heard of this place many times, finally get to try it on a weekend night Pasta (Orecchiette) and Steak is amazing 5 star! Worth a try. Grilled octopus (3.5/5) and bread is alright (heard great things about the bread in here perhaps it's another dish?) Pasta and entree are top notch, appetiser are decent but not unforgettable (perhaps we didn't order the right thing?) Environment is very nice, service is also on point. Server remembers our allergies and kept that in mind, also very attentive and great recommendations. Great ambience for date night/ anniversary dinner, or even small group gatherings. read more

Osteria Mozza is an elegant restaurant with quality ingredients. My husband took me here for my birthday dinner. Parking is pretty impossible in the area so just a heads up - the valet is right around the corner and a quick and easy option. I am a vegetarian so the menu was much more limited but there were still options in almost every section of the menu. Specifically, the mozzarella bar options were delightful. We got the pugliese mozzarella which came with these crispy peppers (not spicy). It was delicious. The texture was satisfying. The olive oil soaked into the bread perfectly. We ordered the Brussels sprouts as well and it was both of our favorite dish. Crunchy. Light. Lemony and salty. We ordered two pastas - the cacio e pepe and the butternut squash ravioli. You can tell the pasta is fresh. The cacio e Pepe kind of felt like adult macaroni and cheese. The butternut squash was not our favorite but we're more into savory dishes and it was a little sweet. We ended the night with cookies and cream and guava gelato! read more

I had the pleasure of dining at Osteria Mozza with my supervisor for a celebratory dinner back in October, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. As expected, the food was absolutely amazing. We did the pasta tasting, and every single dish was outstanding--thoughtfully prepared, full of flavor, and beautifully executed. This is truly the only restaurant I can say I will return to every season, as the menu is always evolving, yet every dish has consistently been a 10/10. I also want to give special recognition to Daniel, who took wonderful care of us and made the evening feel warm and welcoming. Last but not least, the General Manager, Samson, truly elevated the entire experience. His hospitality, professionalism, and genuine kindness made the night even more memorable.

Pasta and fish dishes were immaculate, but most importantly the ceasar salad with sardine and boiled eggs really sent me to heavens. We got a bottle of a prosecco which topped our meal of 6 really well together. With the great service and ambiance it would be really perfect for any occasion.. my occasion was business dinner and i can totally see myself coming back for family or date night. But yes, please get the ceasar salad. read more

Went to the pasta tasting and wow what a deal! We got here for the summer menu: Squid ink chitarra was a love letter to the sea. Sweet corn cappellacci tasted like world peace. Casarecce pesto took me to the Italian countryside. The ziti was nice and comforting. The lemon posset was clean and refreshing. Our drinks were amazing and the service was great, dishes came at a very relaxing cadence. Only thing that was a little disappointing was having to pick out crab cartilage from the chitarra but small in the scope of things. I even liked the little prosciutto breadstick appetizers. Portion size was reasonable although you may leave hungry if you don't order any additional dishes. Managed to find street parking on Highland yay!! Can't wait to return. read more

I think I found a new favourite restaurant. The vibe is really good and not noisy. Went there to celebrate our 37th anniversary and my sister-in-law birthday. We had a lot of fun enjoying the amazing food. We had to try their Ribeye steak which did not disappoint. We also had the Duck, Shaved Brussels Sprouts , Tag Oxtail Pasta, Orecchiette Pasta, Fettunta bread, and finished with Tiramisu. Every bite was delicious. Our server Justin was amazing. He gave us the best recommendations. read more

Osteria Mozza is LA's finest Italian restaurant. Created by chef Nancy Silverton, she always puts out the best of the best. I came here with reservations on a Thursday evening and my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the service to the ambience, and of course the food, it was an incredible time. To start, we shared the mozzarella di bufalo condimenti. Freshly made mozz served with the crispy fettunta and four condiments, this is what all appetizers should look up to. For the mains we got the ricotta and egg raviolo and bavette (cacio e pepe), and the branzino. While the raviolo is just one giant ravioli, the browned butter and sage sauce is delectable. Also, before ordering the bavette, our waitress informed us that most diners find it to be on the saltier side and that is simply how it is made. While it was on the saltier side from the pecorino, I thoroughly enjoyed it. To end the night, we got the vanilla custard tart which had a strawberry compote, scoop of vanilla gelato, a slightly over baked tart, on top of sweetened rhubarb. I will definitely be returning here for a treat yourself type of meal. Well done! read more

I've been wanting to dine at Osteria Mozza for years, but were always on vacation! We finally went for my husband's birthday and it exceeded every expectation. Not only was the food exceptional, the service was extraordinary. The manager personally escorted us to our table and had thoughtfully arranged for the cookbook Nancy signed as a birthday surprise. That level of intention alone would have been enough. But the food? Divine. We expected greatness from the QUEEN of LA dining and every single dish delivered. The giant raviolo in brown butter, with the yolk flowing perfectly at first cut, was unforgettable. AHHHHHH! We brought our toddler, dressed in his little suit jacket, and were met with nothing but warmth from the staff and even fellow guests. Our son was welcomed, never treated as an afterthought. TRUE HOSPITALITY. And then the most unexpected moment. A staff member appeared with the most theatrical introduction: "...and we'd like to present to you, Nancy Silverton." I froze. My husband was completely starstruck. Chef Nancy is one of the loveliest, most gracious people. she even sat with us through dessert. Im getting goosebumps as I write this cuz i cant believe that happened.. they made it all happened! They have set the standard so high for what a dining experience should feel like: thoughtful, elegant, and genuinely heartfelt that it will be difficult for others to compare. This was, without question, one of the most memorable dining experiences we've ever had. An extraordinary team, an extraordinary menu. Absolutely worth the visit. read more
