The decor is absolutely beautiful -- stylish, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. But if you have reservations or plan on dining at the restaurant, the Hostess desk is on the other side of the bar. I found it confusing because when you first enter, there is another area where they are greeting you but that is for the store/cafe area. We were a party of 2 and we opted to share. I wanted to taste everything. We came hangry. *Mozzarella Di Bufala & Condimenti- basil pesto, romesco, black olive tapenade & caperberry relish... delicious! So happy we opted to order from the mozzarella bar. *Red Endive & Fennel salad- was ok, a little heavy on the dressing. I wouldn't get it again. *Focaccia Di Recco-delicious! You must get the additional cheese. It really makes a difference. I don't understand why it doesn't come with it. *Orecchiette-extremely salty! *Tagliatelle-it was good, the sauce was tasty. * Almond Chocolate Tart - just the right amount of sweetness. The food didn't blow me away, but the excellent service and great atmosphere would definitely bring me back. I'd definitely come back just for the experience. read more

This is my 50th Yelp review and I had to post about one of my favorites, Italian food! I've been wanting to try Osteria Mozza since it opened and decided to stop in on a quiet weeknight in Georgetown. To my surprise I was quickly seated at the mozzarella bar, a perfect spot for a single diner. Looking over the menu I decided to try the Corzetti Stampati. A circular flat pasta with eggplant cut in circles with ricotta and olives. A simple dish but so delicious! I added a side of Charred Broccolini that was done perfectly. To end the evening I had to try the Rosemary Olive Oil cakes. This was accompanied by olive oil gelato and a rosemary brittle. I would order this again. Service was a bit slow. I did wait a while before anyone came over take my order. It may or may not have been due to a special diner in the restaurant that I learned about later. Overall, I enjoyed my first experience and will definitely be back to try more of the menu and hopeful stop in for brunch as well. read more

Osteria Mozza DC is a high-end destination in Georgetown serving rich, comforting Italian fare in a warm, sophisticated setting. The Food The Highlight: The Focaccia Di Recco topped with prosciutto di parma was AMAZING. The flaky layers and melted cheese were complemented by the rich, thin slices of prosciutto. The Fish: The delicious Branzino Alla Piastra was served mostly de-boned and laid flat with a perfectly crisp skin. A really well executed dish. The Pastas: Both the Mafaldine (oxtail ragu) and the Orecchiette (sausage) were hearty, satisfying dishes with medium-sized portions. Dessert: The Butterscotch Budino was the table favorite. The rich and slightly bitter caramel sauce really "sang" through the dish. Burrata & Braised Leeks: The leeks were a bit tough (hard to cut), and the acidity of the mustard vinaigrette overpowered the creamy cheese. Service The service was excellent. Special thanks to Adrian (our waiter) and Luciana (the sommelier) for their quality food and wine recommendations. Overall A refined Italian restaurant perfect for an upscale business dinner or a special date night. Reservations are highly recommended. read more

To celebrate my uncle's birthday, we wanted to check out the hype at this new Italian restaurant. The ambiance inside was nice, but definitely felt very crowded since you were so close to the other tables. I think the best way to describe the food was that it was decent - nothing absolutely amazing, but nothing bad also. Their famous mozzarella bar was serving standard mozzarella but it did pair with a fresh garlic toast that was great. The pastas were cooked to a nice al dent but the sauce was a bit lacking. My favorite bites of the night was the Arancini (nice crisp outer shell paired with an amazing red sauce) and the Chicken All Diavola (spicy, juicy, flavorful and a tad salty) A nice restaurant serving decent food, but I think there are better options in the area for Italian food. Apps: Arancini, Grilled Octopus and Mozza Caprese with Garlic Bread Entrees: Mafaldine with Oxtail Ragu, Tagliatelle with Bolognese, Seared Sea Trout and Chicken Alla Diavola Dessert: Bombolini (Italian fried donuts) and Gelato read more

I've been to the LA location a few times and was excited when I saw it had opened in Georgetown. It's in such a great location too, next to everything Georgetown. Super cute place. Note, you have to walk towards the back to check in for the restaurant. I made a reservation for 5:45pm (That was all that was available) and arrived early to ask if I could be seated earlier. The hostess area is a bit chaotic. Not the best interaction with them, but I'll leave it at that. Overall service was good. Our party of two was seated in the patio area near their party or "group" dining room. We started with the Mozza Caprese and an order of Fett'Unta to go along with it. Both super tasty. Next, we shared the Grilled Octopus and Half Duck Confit. Loved our items we ordered. We all know parking is terrible in the area. Driving into the area is not recommended, but if you must there's a public parking garage on Wisconsin and M. read more

Ordered the Rigatoni and asked for the fennel sausage. The result was that the Rigatoni was not fully cooked. It was hard and pasty. The fennel sausage was not sausage, but a mixture of ground pork mixed with spices and tossed with the pasta. It tasted more Mexican than what I expected. The portion was modest and seemed to be overwhelmed by the size of the vessel in which it was served. Service however was very good. Ambiance made one comfortable. AC was just right. read more

Came here twice with different parties. Amazing service both times and the interior is spacious! We got to try a lot of different things, but some of my favorites: - focaccia with prosciutto - thin gooey layer of cheese on thin, crusty bread! soooo good. Its like a flat pizza - all pastas were deliciously al dente. rigatoni and orecchiette were my personal favs. imo they are a bit on the heavy/salty side so i woudnt want it as my only main dish but the portions are small enough that it can be a shareable app - gem salad and caesar are both really good. I do wish the caesar they had an option for a full portion of the salad without the egg/anchovy bread - dry aged porterhouse - incredibly tender, and you can taste the dry aged funkiness which i love! tons of leftovers and they even pack the bone so you can gnaw on it at home haha - DESSERTS! the tiramisu is insanely creamy and moist. I also love the meyer lemon gelato pie, the creme fraiche adds a layer of milky richness to the tart lemon that is soooo addicting will definitely be back :) read more

Atmosphere: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Food: 3 stars Value: 1 star I won't be returning anytime soon. While the place is lovely and the staff is amazing, I was pretty disappointed with the menu and food. Very few wines by the glass for sale. Unremarkable and expensive cocktail menu. Tiny tiny tiny portions for high prices I had carbonara and the meat was so salty I couldn't even eat it. The pasta and sauce were fine but I'd prefer to go to Sette, Rosemarino, or Lardente for better food and bigger portion size. My friend's Pici was also tiny and didn't look too special. Desserts are $17-20. Insane. read more

My friend and I came on Saturday -- I recommend getting reservations a few weeks out. It's a lovely place! It has a little market in front before you get to a circular bar. We were seated in the wing of the restaurant with high ceilings and beautiful windows. Let's get down to business: For drinks: Espresso martini: so silky smooth and my friend got an old fashioned: also incredibly smooth and tasty. For our app: Gressini, a breadstick with prosciutto. Meal: Frittata which was lovely with all the flavors. Tagliatelle with bolognese was wonderful and didn't feel heavy either. Portions were a good size. My friend and I split everything. Dessert: We tried the coffee cake and the rosemary olive oil cakes. The coffee cake wasn't my favorite due to the nuts being in the middle layer but my friend enjoyed it. Rosemary olive oil cakes are light and airy with just the right amount of rosemary. We had lovely service by Walid. Gave great suggestions. Will definitely come back to try out dinner! read more

Loved the ambiance and the raspberry crumble; it was excellent. The margarita pizza was a great starter. The carbonara wasn't for me (very heavy), though the coconut pie was well prepared. Unfortunately, slow service at dessert dampened the experience, but we'd consider returning to see if we have better luck. read more

Osteria Mozza - Peach Burrata - Italian Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Osteria Mozza has quickly become one of our favorite spots to take guests. The food is consistently delicious, and the ambiance is just beautiful--especially the greenhouse space, which adds such a charming, airy feel to the experience. We also love the little shop area tucked inside; it's a fun touch that makes the visit feel even more special. The arancini were a standout--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly done. The menu has plenty of variety, and everything we've tried has been thoughtfully prepared and satisfying. Accessibility is decent overall. The entire restaurant is accessible, which is great, though most of the restrooms are located downstairs. There is one accessible restroom upstairs, but it's good to know ahead of time if that's something you need. All in all, Osteria Mozza delivers on food, atmosphere, and thoughtful details. We'll definitely keep coming back. read more

New favorite Italian restaurant in DC! This restaurant has a fresh mozzarella bar and divine food. Highly recommend sharing a bottle of wine plus at least one cocktail with this meal. Favorite dishes were the arancini and Orecchiett.

Food, service, and vibes are all on point at this place! I've now been twice in 2 weeks and have tried a few things on their menu. To start, their wait staff is very attentive, polite, and they know the menu very well. As expected of a Stephen Starr restaurant, but nice to see the consistency. The restaurant itself is aesthetically very nice with a look that reminds you of a typically Italian restaurant but one that's been brought into 2025 with less stuffy vibes than a traditional Italian restaurant look. They have seating on the "garden area" which is really nice given the full window seating. As far as food, where do I when start...the cheeses are all flavor bombs. We got the burrata & bacon the first time. The burrata is fresh and the bacon gave it this additional crunch and salty flavor that was a great combination, but the true star of that was the caramelized shallots. The shallots gave it a whole new dimension of flavor because it was slightly sweet. I'd 100% get it again. The second time, we got the burrata pesto - also so full of flavor with the pesto and the and the roasted tomatoes. The best part of that was the tomatoes. If you cut into it the juices from the tomato explode out and the flavors really hit. Oh and do yourself a favor, please order the fett'unta to go with the cheese. We also ordered the little gem lettuce to share. I will say that it is one of the best green goddess salads I've had so far. It was dressed well enough to coat the lettuce but not too much to make it overwhelming. The pecans gave it a nice sweet touch. For mains, I got the mafaldine (with oxtail) the first time and the tagliatelle bolognese the second time. Both times the pastas were cooked perfectly and the sauces were again just flavor bombs. They make sure the sauces have enough meat in them without being too overwhelming. Of the 2, I think my preference is the mafaldine. What an asset to Georgetown! I'm happy to see this restaurant become a regular place for me to go to. read more

It's pretty hard to stand out as a new-ish Italian restaurant in DC, but boy do they! I had a girls night out and everything felt decadent and indulgent but not over the top. Absolutely order anything from the mozzarella bar and the Caesar salad - that was my stand out of the night. Surprising flavors melded together. I had the brown butter and egg ravioli and it's a small portion but delightful. The ambiance is luxurious but not Vegas-y like L'Ardente. read more

Nothing says a perfect Valentine's Dinner like a full course experience at Osteria Mozza. We found ourselves fortunate enough to be seated in the covered outdoor section, able to enjoy the warmth of the heaters with the comfort of open windows. Despite the business of the night our servers were incredibly attentive, and neither of our glasses had a chance to fully empty before someone would stop by. The food was excellent of course, and while it's hard to pick a favorite when each dish compliments the other I found myself wishing for even one more bite of the lovely Raviolo. Covered in a brown butter sauce, the plump freshly made pasta was perfection. I know my partner was quite fond of the Fett'unta which served as an excellent addition to every dish, helping to mop up sauces perfectly. The whole Branzino was cooked perfectly with the kitchen actually working to remove every bone prior to it hitting our table. The spaghetti made me think of my own mother's cooking which is the highest praise I can give such an Italian dish. I feel the need to return just to try other options from the mozzarella bar. To top it all off the butterscotch budino left our tastebuds dancing and our stomachs full. Excited to return as soon as I can! read more

Osteria Mozza is a hard reservation to get but I was lucky enough to get a 5pm dinner slot on a Sunday. I didn't realize there was a shop upfront and right when I walked in I was greeted by a staff member asking how they could help me. When I shared I had a dinner reservation they directed me around the circular bar and to another hostess stand. I can't believe the Dean & Deluca used to be in that spot because it is an absolutely gorgeous space. I would love to come back and sit at the bar. We were seated fairly quickly, though the host team does still seem to be working out some kinks, and were greeted right away by our wonderful waiter. He walked us through the menu and answered some questions we had. We split the Nebbiolo pour and it was dry and perfect. For our meal we did the following: - Focaccia Di Recco with Proscuitto di Parma added on - Shaved Brussels Sprouts - Ricotta & Egg Raviolo - Rigatoni alla carbonara - Charred Broccolini - Butterscotch Budino All of the food was delicious and this sounds crazy but the two standout dishes for me were the two vegetable dishes. The Brussels sprouts were light, fluffy and oh-so-lemony. The broccolini was charred perfectly and also had a delicious lemon flavor. Can you tell I like lemon? The focaccia is very big and was too much for two people so we were unable to finish it. It is crispy, buttery and cheesy. The rigatoni alla carbonara had the classic tastes with extra crispy pancetta. And the ricotta and egg raviolo was simply gorgeous. When we cut into it, the yolk poured out and it was so rich, creamy and buttery. We rounded out our meal with dessert and I've never had a budino before but I loved it. It was light and fluffy yet rich and decadent. The only thing we didn't like were the tiny cookies that accompanied it. Overall, it was a very good meal but I do have to point out that it was a VERY salty meal. We were guzzling down water, which was 2-3 sips from the small glasses, but the staff were quick to refill. Even when I got home I was still drinking a ton of water and I woke up with swollen fingers. The service was excellent from our server to everyone who presented the food and cleared our plates. As I mentioned earlier, I'd love to come back to sit at the bar and try a cocktail, some other dishes and probably the Tiramisu! read more

Absolutely fantastic! Dare I say one of the best Italian restaurants I've had. Service was a bit slow but the food and ambiance made up for it. You have to try the Buffalo mozzarella with the condiments, ask for extra bread. The Beef Tagliata and the Sweet Potatoes were my favorite. We also tried the truffle pasta, carbonara, olive oil cake and tiramisu, all fantastic. Cannot wait to come back! read more

We had a birthday reservation here on July 15th at 5:15 p.m. and drove an hour to celebrate. We arrived around 5:00 p.m. and stood at the host stand waiting to be seated, but no one ever came to greet us. The bartender saw us, and there were people sitting at the bar, but no one acknowledged us or let us know what was going on. As we walked along the side of the restaurant, it looked like there may have been a staff meeting taking place, which I completely understand. However, it would have been nice if someone had been at the host stand or if the bartender had simply let us know there would be a short wait for someone to assist us. After waiting for quite a while with no communication, we decided to leave. Thankfully, Ox & Olive was able to accommodate us for my birthday dinner, and they made the evening special. It was disappointing because we were really looking forward to celebrating here, especially after driving an hour. A little acknowledgment or communication would have made all the difference. read more

Osteria Mozza was an overall fantastic experience. I'm thrilled about this because I've waiting for it to open. It's quite elegant and everyone that I interacted with (hosts, servers, a manager) was incredibly kind and welcoming. Service was wonderful. The restaurant was lively and the bar became busy quickly. This was supposed to be an early anniversary for dinner, but my partner was sick, which meant I did not get to try everything I wanted on the menu. I ordered the Timorosso wine, which I loved. I enjoy interesting whites and this fit the bill. My order was the smoked buffalo mozzarella and orecchiette. I didn't get enough smokiness from the mozzarella to order it again. The orecchiette was rich and flavorful, and overall, excellent. I almost didn't order dessert, but I am so glad that I did. The olive oil cake was delicious and the delicate rosemary brittle was the perfect complement, along with the olive oil ice cream. After dinner, I browsed their market, and they had interesting offerings, such as Rancho Gordo products and Bread Alley bread, which I appreciate. Osteria Mozza a new favorite restaurant. read more

Some friends and I had been wanting to try Osteria Mozza for several months and we had heard rave reviews. Osteria Mozza exceeded the hype! I recently went with a party of four for a weekend brunch and we were seated immediately at our reservation time. We received outstanding service from start to finish-our server was incredibly nice, friendly, helpful, attentive, and gave great recommendations. If you come for brunch and decide to share dishes (highly recommend), expect to have a leisurely meal. Give yourself at least 90 minutes as Osteria Mozza will space dishes out given table size and a busy restaurant. A lot of dishes have pork products in them, even some that do not seem obvious. Make sure to let your server know if you do not eat pig products. The ambiance was fantastic-Osteria Mozza is in the old Dean and Deluca market location, and has tons of space, high ceilings, exposed stone and copper, and a kitchen where you can see food being prepared. Even the bathrooms were classy. We shared the following dishes: Coffee Cake: Sweet, perfectly baked, tons of good sugar and pecans on top. Banana Bread: One of my favorite dishes of the day. The banana bread was rich, the perfect amount of sweetness, the right amount of banana, and well-baked. Cinnamon Bun: Sweet, gooey, and rich, a delicious pastry. Burrata and Grilled Asparagus-A good dish, with perfectly cooked asparagus, although nothing noteworthy. Nancy's Caesar: Quite possibly the best Caesar salad I have ever had. This deconstructed Caesar salad eliminated everything that can mess up a Caesar salad and elevated everything that is best about it. The anchovies and leeks came on a bread toast, and the egg brought the Caesar to the next level. The lettuce came in "cup" form, and was crispy with just the right amount of salad dressing. Putting the toast into the lettuce made for an incredible bite. Margherita Pizza: The pizza had a phenomenal crust, crispy with good crunch. The tomato sauce was delicious as well. However, there needed to be far more mozzarella on the pizza to balance out the tomato sauce. Potato Pizza: This pizza also had a good crust, and with a bit less rosemary, it would have been phenomenal. However, this pizza was solid as it was. With tax and tip, although not inexpensive, we each spent under $50. For what we got, the service, and the food quality, Osteria Mozza was well worth it. I highly recommend Osteria Mozza for a nice brunch or dinner with friends, date night, birthday, or other special occasion! read more

This is a stunning Italian restaurant in the former Dean & Delucca store on M Street in Georgetown. It does justice to its elder sibling Michelin-starred Pizzeria Mozza in LA. The entrance is framed by a grand floral masterpiece before revealing an intimate and closely curated market area that has unreserved first come first serve seating. The main dining area is large and intimate at the same time, with potentially reverberating voices and clinking glasses softened by a carpet and smaller spaces and tables strategically placed. In addition, the patio area has been turned into a credible extension of the dining area. All of this is overlooked by a stunning jewel box private room surrounded by windows overlooking the entire main dining room. The food is stunning, amazing, tasty, tasteful, and authentic. Not heavy, not overly delicate, just done so well. A particular highlight was Nancy's Caesar - a deconstructed Caesar salad that can be enjoyed for its stunning vibrancy of form, taste, and color - the anchovies are what all anchovies should be - umami packed olive oil soaked and the perfect accompaniment to anything fresh and crunchy like the jewels of romaine lettuce that comprise the base of this dish. The Mozzarella Caprese is the unforgettable version of every caprese salad you've ever had that leaves you wanting more, but don't, cause the dessert must be had, too, particularly the Rosemary Olive Oil Cakes with a dollop of olive oil ice cream and a spun sugar bridge arching over the two. The service is attentive without being overbearing, friendly without being overly familiar. An order of mint tea was refreshed with 5 pots of hot water throughout the entire dinner. Mozza is a place for a date, a work dinner to impress an out of towner, an intimate family celebration, or a place to be seen. read more

Wow wow wow. From the food to the ambience everything was great! The restaurant is in a beautiful building and definitely gives off vibes of its sister Le Diplomat. Take a look at their bar and tell me you don't get a sense of Deja vu. As far as the food goes you must try the Mozza Caprese. So so good. The pesto was delicious and the tomatoes were packed with flavor. Small tip, order bread when you get this dish. I promise you are gonna wanna scoop up every bite. I noticed a woman at another table had the chopped salad and I totally copied her (something I rarely do) and man am I glad I did. The salad was delicious and incredibly filling. Which is saying something for me, cause salads never fill me up. For the eggs, my fiancé said they were perfectly poached. All this to say, we cannot wait to go back for dinner!! read more

Recently had the opportunity of having dinner at Osteria Mozza and this place really lived up to the expectation. From the entrance, you are welcomed by a gorgeous ambiance. The restaurant is amazingly decorated and it is a total scene. Their service is exceptional and their organization is top notch. Their menu is a delightful mix of some Italian favorites and their spin of some classic dishes. We ordered espresso martinis which were delicious. We were recommended by our server to order the focaccia bread, a simple yet tasty dish that is the best starter of the experience. I found the Focaccia to be crunchy, and delicious with the perfect hint of cheese. I'd recommend to save some for later so you can enjoy everything else since the portion is really big for 2. We decided to order 1 antipasti, 1 Primi and each of us ordered a main Secondi and found this to be more than enough to share between two. For antipasti we ordered the Nancy's Caesar, and it was a very peculiar spin off, as it does not look like your typical Caesar yet is somehow tasted the same? Haha, I really enjoyed it; it's about 2 to three bites. Our Primi pasta plate was the tagliatelle bolognese and while this was not the star of the night, it was very well prepared and tasty. Our server indicated that despite of him being a big steak person, he would always order the Chicken alla Diavola anytime. This convinced us and we decided to try it, and LET ME tell you, this chicken dish was to die for. Every single bite was perfect!!! I 100% recommend to try this if you're visiting this restaurant. The grilled beef medallions were delicious as well but I kept going back to the chicken in that amazing buttery sauce in that bed of crispy bread. We ended up so full, we did not have room for dessert and even took some of the chicken for lunch the next day which was even better! I would definitely return to this restaurant, as it lived up to the expectation and recommend it as it was a total scene from start to finish. read more

We were truly wowed by the food here. We came for lunch at 1:30pm on a Sunday and were able to be seated immediately. The space is beautiful and they accommodated our 9mo well with a high chair and space for the stroller. We got the little gem salad, tagliatelle bolognese and a side of sourdough bread. The salad was simple but very complex in flavor profiles. We were running our bread through the plate to get every drop of the dressing. The tagliatelle was my perfect noodle. It was paper thin and cooked perfectly with a gorgeous bolognese on top and freshly grated table-side Parmesan. I would go back tomorrow and order the exact same thing (plus a few more items) It is rare to find a restaurant this successful so early on so I am very excited for what is to come with this space. I am deducting a star solely for service because our server was basically nonexistent. I am not sure if they were understaffed because of the holiday or if this was normal but we definitely would have ordered more had he been around to place food/drink orders in. Otherwise, a phenomenal experience. read more

3.5 brunch experience in fancy new Italian restaurant in Georgetown Came here for brunch on the weekend as a group. It's located in the old Dean and Deluca spot (I still miss you!) and they did a lovely job with the decor. They managed to make it feel fancy, cozy, rustic, and modern all at the same time. Aisles are spacious, booths are pretty long, and the bottom floor seems to be a maze of bathrooms which were clean, nicely decorated, and single stalled. Service is alright. There were moments where I felt the vibe from our server was off but he did have a lot of ground to cover for one person. We got the burrata bacon and mozzarella caprese to share and each got a round of drinks. I ordered the tagliatelle bolognese and others at the table got orecchiette, eggs in purgatory, and poached egg crostone. We liked our starters the best with mixed reviews on the mains. Tagliatelle was good (recommended pasta dish from our server) but I wasn't particularly in the mood for bolognese so didn't enjoy it as much. I will note I'm pretty picky about Italian food bc I'm a New Yorker and have lived in Italy. I would definitely recommend to order items with mozzarella or burrata since those seem to be good choices. I'd be interested in trying their dinner menu after the hype dies down since a res is hard to come by these days. read more

Absolutely worth the hype. The duck falls off the bones with a slight tap of the fork and the pasta nearly melts in your mouth.

Back again - probably 4th or 5th time. Sat in bruno's section in the green room / gazebo and he was a GEM. Super on top of it and aware of the things to check-in on with us. Wiped the tables in between each course, assured me it's OK to send the cocktail back if I didn't like it, and was accommodating to our dairy and gluten needs. Salads were spectacular - get this - their green goddess dressing is DAIRY FREE!!!! The fish was perfection and the beans / lentils that came with it are PERFECT for a cold day. Just dinging a star as the having the two separate hostesses (one at door and one behind bar) tends to get confusing. The first one at the door said we couldn't be seated until another 15/20 minutes (my mom spoke to her) and I walked around to the second one (have historically had more success there) and she sat us immediately... this is a kink they've had since the start - I completely empathize they need the crowd control by the front door but would be good if they could get on the same page... read more
