Wow!! This place is top notch! Perfect for a big party as you'll want to share all the amazing food. Although the portions are small you can order lots of things and share. I absolutely loved everything I had. The service was great. The decor and layout of the restaurant was very inviting. The bar is decorated with beautiful brass figures. Salads, pastas, entrees and drinks are amazing! You can't go wrong. I can't wait to go back. read more

Osteria Mozza is one of our "go-to" places for a special occasion. This was our first visit since before the pandemic, so we were excited to celebrate our anniversary there! I am happy to report that everything is exactly the same as we remember. The customer service is top notch and the food is always delicious. And as we sat down, there was a lovely card wishing us a Happy Anniversary. What a nice touch!! We started the meal with our usual Aperol Spritz along with a lovely offering from the Mozzarella Bar of Burrata over grilled Jimmy Nardello peppers. Outstanding!! Next up was a delightful salad of Wild Arugula with Brentwood Corn ribs, Feta and Calabrian Chili croutons with a creamy avocado dressing. I could have eaten another one as it was so good. Our Primi consisted of two pasta dishes. Once was a wonderful Sweet Corn Cappellacci with Chanterelles and Thyme. The cappellacci were filled with ricotta and corn puree so the entire dish screamed with summer corn flavor. The other pasta was a riff on a spicy Linguini Vongole, made with large clams. While the sauce and pasta were outstanding, the clams were quite chewy, probably due to their large size. We ended the meal with a half Roast Duck which was cooked to perfection. The slow roasting of the duck allowed all of the excess fat to melt away leaving tender, unctuous duck meat with an addictively crispy skin. It was served with a nice corn medley, though we both admitted that it was corn overload at this point despite how tasty to was. Overall, Osteria Mozza always impresses. While I could ding them a half-point for the chewy clams (which suddenly disappeared from the menu) or for our server not warning us that all of our dishes were corn heavy, the meal was delicious nonetheless. Thank you again Mozza for another top notch meal!! read more

One of my favorite meals I have ever had. This was our second time at Osteria Mozza, celebrating my partner's birthday, and it was beyond special. Everything we got was to die for, but my favorite dish by far was the wagyu, which I have been dreaming about for the past month. I am a pasta lover through and through, but I cannot stop thinking about getting that steak again. Also olive oil gelato is perfection. Can't wait to be back soon! read more

Have heard a lot about this place and it did not disappoint! Pros: - pasta was high quality and you can tell was freshly made - everything was cooked well, pasta was Al dente, octopus wasn't too chewy, fett'unta was baked to perfection (this is a must get, olive oil used was superb) - flavors and ingredients were well balanced, especially the burrata and peach - light and fresh perfect for the summer - every ingredient used was so fresh and high quality, it really tasted like they just plucked everything from their back yard Cons: - Nancy wasn't there when I visited :( guess I'll have to try again next time! - everything was slightly over salted - wish they dialed back a little on that - parking was difficult and valet is $15 Would definitely come back again for date night! read more

I grew up in L.A. and I remember my mom pointing at the corner of Highland and Melrose back in the day and telling me that all the restaurants that set up there seemed to fail very quickly, and in quick succession. Then Osteria Mozza moved in in 2007, and 16 years later, it's busy from open to close every night of the week. Matt B. and I went last Monday for the first time since early 2019. I'd tried to make reservations for date nights in the interim, but I'd never been able to find a reasonable time when I looked, admittedly always on short notice. We got an 8:15 reservation and accidentally got the time wrong and showed up over 15 minutes early, eager to get out of the house on a night with babysitting. I thought we might get seated early, since it was a Monday night and I figured the management team was hyper competent about this sort of thing after all these years. Surprisingly, we weren't seated until closer to 8:30. We didn't mind, though, as we got to spend our waiting time at the bar, where we were also offered menus. I guess there's no steal of a prix fixe amaro bar menu anymore (we took advantage of this several times when we were younger), but it's good to know that you can walk in to Osteria Mozza and eat a full meal without a reservation. We settled for cocktails--a negroni and an amaro sour, both solid--and sat next to a celebrity, probably a common occurrence here. Service was great at the bar and, eventually, at our table. We ordered a bottle of Sangiovese and had a rich, wonderful dinner. The menu has stayed pretty consistent over the years, and we enjoyed a combination of old favorites and new dishes. We always start with appetizers from the mozzarella bar, and this time we got the burricotta and artichoke and the burrata and grilled asparagus, with a side order of fett'unta. The burricotta is a Mozza classic that we got comped after it was sent out by mistake once many years ago and immediately put on our must order list. It's amazingly delicious, two crostini topped with burricotta, artichoke, pine nuts, currants, and mint pesto. I also loved the burrata and asparagus with brown butter, guanciale, almond, and breadcrumbs. The garlicky, oiled up fett'unta was a treat too, both with the burrata and on its own. Next, we had two buttery pastas. Kind of a heart attack of a meal, but no regrets. The tagliolini "da Francescana" was a decadent plate of butter noodles, made with beurre de Baratte and 36-month white cow parmigiano, perfect for a very spoiled child or my picky 40-year-old husband. The agnolotti with burro e salvia was lovely, little packets with a savory beefy filling, in a silky butter and sage sauce. We almost went for the beef segreto, but I'm glad, given how full we were, that we got the grilled 8 oz. beef tagliata instead. This was an excellent dish with beautiful slices of medium rare steak with rucola, parmigiano, and aceto balsamico. The sweetness and acid of the vinegar was just right with the hearty beef. Dessert is a must at Osteria Mozza, and we got what we almost always get: gelato and rosemary olive oil cakes. I love Mozza's lush gelato, served in a metal cup with a big chocolate wafer cookie. We got chocolate, mango yogurt, and passionfruit coconut, and they were all fantastic. The rosemary olive oil cakes were as good as ever, spongey and luscious, with rosemary brittle and olive oil gelato. This is an iconic dessert and one of our favorites in the city (maybe only matched by the budino at Pizzeria Mozza next door). It felt good to go to Osteria Mozza again after these years of child rearing and global pandemic. I like knowing it's there and still reliably outstanding, and I look forward to my next visit. read more

Big fan of Mozza, have been before to have pizza and some apps and it was delicious, but visited again yesterday for the pasta tasting and was disappointed. Service was great but the dishes were so salty. The first three pastas of the tasting were so salty, even my boyfriend who salts his meals more then I do said he was surprisingly overwhelmed with the salt in the dishes as well. The last pasta with the duck was actually not overpowered with salt and was executed amazingly. And we ended with such a delicious dessert that did not disappoint. I was just surprised that most of the meals were over spiced. Hopefully it was just that night that it was unfortunately over salted. I'd like to go back and enjoy the food and taste all the flavors. read more

Osteria Mozza is out of the world. Presided over by the fabulous Nancy Silverton, Osteria Mozza is a beloved Italian Michelin-starred restaurant in WeHo! And yes, I will gladly drive from the west side in rush hour traffic for this food. Both times I've been to Osteria Mozza I've sat at the Mozzarella Bar. I LOVE the Mozzarella bar because they have a bunch of cute trinkets and it's a blast to watch the cooks at work! To start, I highly recommend the Mozzarella di Bufala Tasting. This dish features three types of fabulous, melt in your mouth, cheese with a delicious hunk of bread. Absolutely phenomenal. Next I loved Nancy's Caesar (egg, leek & anchovy crostini). This is a deconstructed Caesar salad that's TO DIE FOR. So flavorful and beautifully plated. Pasta-wise the Orecchiette is a must order (fennel sausage & Swiss chard). The pastas look like little bucket caps (already a win) and the fennel sausage gives the perfect amount of kick. Last but not least, the Bombolini is the perfect way to wrap up the meal. Donuts doused in huckleberry compote & lemon mascarpone, these are the perfect amount of fluffy, crispy, and tart! Osteria Mozza is now one of my favorite spots in LA. Excellent service, food, and decor! read more

Drove past Osteria Mozza a handful of times in the past, thought nothing of it. At the time I wasn't aware that Osteria Mozza was a renowned, Michelin star rated restaurant. My wife and I finally found the time and opportunity to dine here last night. Spoiler alert: I want to come back here as soon as I can. While our table was getting set up for our reservation, my wife and I had a couple drinks at the bar to open up the taste buds a bit. The old fashioned was a bit on the syrupy/sweet side, but to be fair, I'm not really big on old fashioneds anyway. Onto the food! Here's what we ordered and what I enjoyed about each dish. Nancy's Caesar: Wtf. WTF. This was SO good. I read a review that said this was 1000/10 in their book and I thought, "Could a salad possibly be that good?" And the answer to that is yes. The romaine is dressed perfectly. Zippy, umami, just plain good. Paired with the a crusty piece of crostini, the anchovies and the whole thing works together into amazing food. Excellent textures and balanced flavors. Linguine (clams, pancetta, Fresno chiles): Absolutely amazing. The sauce had the perfect amount of body and so full of flavor. Different layers of flavor too. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. Every bite made you want to keep digging in. Even my wife who isn't really a linguine fan thought it was delicious. Pork Shank: The meat itself was juicy, flavorful, tender. Again, just the right amount of savoriness. The mustard frills, fennel, and sauce paired very well with the pork. My only minor gripe is that the portions here are a liiittle bit on the smaller side, but I just had to remind myself that the focal point here is definitely about masterful cooking paired with quality ingredients. Big flavors. Osteria Mozza is the first nice dinner my wife and I had since the pandemic, and since getting married! In addition to excellent food, the service was top notch. The staff was super nice. Literally everyone was pleasant to talk to, helpful, and just straight up friendly. It was such an amazing experience and I can't wait to go back to try out the rest of the menu. read more

I finally have the phenomenal Nancy Silverton's food and it was simply amazing. Some of the best food I've had in the city and just a terrific and fulfilling meal. Our server was over the top in the best way possible, making sure everything was perfect for us. When he heard it was our first time, he went through the menu in great detail and made recommendations we ended up getting and loved. He was so thorough and charismatic. As we sat in our extremely comfortable booth, we delighted in seeing how beautiful the dining room was. Simple but elegant with all different types of people dining. We started with the Bufala Tasting ($32) - O M G, life changed. I'm a burrata obsessed person in general, so trying three varieties was heaven for me. And the smoked mozarella? Wow, so creamy with that lovely smokey hint. We also had the namesake Nancy's Caesar ($25), a salad done unlike others in two separate parts to enjoy. And now...Sarah Says: I had the BEST pasta in Los Angeles at Osteria Mozza. The Tagliolini with white cow parmesan ($42) is not cheap but it's worth every cent. 36 Month White Cow Modenese Parmigiano Reggiano with 24 month Prosciutto di Parma - holy melt in your mouth cheesy goodness. You MUST get this. The Orecchierte ($27) and Raviolo ($23) were one tiny notch below the Tagliolini but still so amazingly done. Such a fan. The only thing I wasn't into was the Tiramisu ($22) dessert. It was fine but didn't blow me away like every other item at Osteria Mozza. Come for the pastas, don't skip the cheese tastings, but do pass on the desserts. Obsessed with Osteria Mozza! read more

(+) 36-month white cow modenese Parmigiano Reggiano (+) Ricotta Cavatelli (+) Ricotta & Egg Raviolo Osteria Mozza is an Italian restaurant that specializes in handmade pastas and their mozzarella bar. The wine menu is extensive. The floor plan is inviting and service is one of the best I have experienced. Valet is $15, or try your luck with street parking. There were four of us, and we shared 2 antipasti, 4 primi, and 1 secondi. Perfect amount of food for my wife and a couple of friends. Food/Drinks: Everything was so tasty that it was hard to pick a favorite. My favorite is the ricotta cavatelli. I enjoyed the English peas and the subtle flavors incorporated into the pasta. The green garlic gave it an interesting kick, but thoroughly one of the best. Both Ragu pasta dishes prepared as usual. The most interesting, yet delicious dish was the ricotta & egg raviolo. How I would describe this, is an egg cracked open inside a ravioli with ricotta and baked, or pan seared with brown butter. The egg yolk when cutting into the ravioli spilled away onto the plate. The brown butter tasted so good with the spilled yolk. Service: Our server was Jennifer and she did an outstanding job. Her service and everyone who serviced our table is top notch. Small things such as folding your napkin as you step away, to big thing such as a small talk and going beyond to make our experience memorable and comfortable. The sommelier did an awesome job finding a bottle of wine for us that paired nicely with our food. He kept it within our price range and hit the nail when it came to our group's wine preference. Overall, I would recommend Osteria Mozza for your Italian needs. Everything on the menu was delicious. I had high expectations for this restaurant and all of my expectations were met and then some. read more

We had the most elevated experience at the restaurant on Friday night. The staff was friendly and attentive, the food was over the top delicious and for the first time ever in Los Angeles they helped me with my coat and checked it for me. Thank you to Guido for making us feel like family and for the delicious meats! read more

Some of the best service, which is what really makes this place stand out. Food was solid as well, and the ambiance is cozy. To start we got the burrata and bacon, fett'una, and they included a plate of prosciutto di Parma on the house which was an unexpected surprise and SO good. We also tried the beef cheek ravioli, pappardelle, and of course the ricotta & egg ravioli. We got the grilled 8oz beef tagliatelle as our secondi, and at this point we were so full. The crust on it was chefs kiss. So good. We tried 3 of the gelato/sorbet selections for dessert and really loved the guava passionfruit sorbet. Overall such a good meal with excellent service which made the experience all the more special. read more

Went there about 2 weeks ago with my wife for a date night on a Saturday night. We picked up an early reservation time so we could go back to the little kiddos on time for bed. We had babysitter issue so arrived there late. Staff told us we cannot have a table anymore but offered us a place at the Mozarella bar. Although I wished to be accommodated, I did understand as we were over 15 mins late. Anyway sitting at the bar was amazing and I'm glad it happened. My wife and I made our own menu with pairing as well. We ordered one plate from each category and we were not disappointed. First we started with the octopus and the anchovies mozarella plate. Everything was perfection and the anchovies were the best I've ever had. Then we chose a departure from seafood and went with the butternut squash pasta plate and we were both delighted with our choice, it was creamy and very comforting. After that we went with the braised beef cheek. And let me tell you one of my favorite dishes of all time with a meat so tender it literally dissolves in your mouth. We also got the grilled broccoli on the side. Finally we chose the biscotti which went perfectly with the coffee and we chose another desert ) sweet tooth here) which I cannot remember but I know it was soo good as well. Can't wait to go back to the mozzarella bar and try other things this time. Solid 1 star Michelin experience even on the bar. read more

A Michelin Starred Italian restaurant and WOW!!! The Best yet!!! I was immediately greeted by Bella and Tella upon entry & then provided great Hospitality & Customer Service by Pablo & Daniel at the bar. I truly enjoyed a refreshing Martini with some amazing appetizers: Nancy's Favorite Trio & Burricota Walnuts. Seriously a MUST try! I noticed everyone here was enjoying the ambiance and cuisine which was such a wonderful testament to the restaurant and their staff. I made sure to ask for the Manager, Guido, as I had to share how impressed I was with his staff and overall experience. Now I HIGHLY recommend Osteria Mozza to everyone! Thank you Guido for making time to speak with me. You guys are the BEST!!! Cheers! read more

Osteria Mozza is an absolute gem. The mozzarella de bufata tasting was the perfect way to start the night. I loved the Brussel sprouts with crunchy hazelnuts. All of the pasta dishes were great, but the tagliatelle with oxtail ragu was my absolute favorite.

Osteria Mozza - Tiramisu - Italian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Osteria Mozza earned a Michelin star in 2019, and I've been wanting to try their Italian food and bread. I scored reservations here on a week day night. They open at 5:30 PM, and the line for valet parking was already really long by 5:45 PM. They don't have a parking lot. The adjacent surrounding streets don't allow parking after 6 PM Monday through Saturday. You probably have to get lucky with the metered spots or park really far away and walk here. Melrose is quite fun to stroll though. This a great location on the corner of Melrose and LaBrea. You can't miss it. The hostess offered for my party to sit at the Mozza bar instead of at our table. We took the opportunity of course! Then we saw that Chef Nancy Silverton was there, but I only saw the back of her head most of the time. Her hair stands out! I loved being able to watch the antipasti being prepared at the Mozza bar. I started with the mozzarella tasting $29, which included fresh mozzarella, burrata, and smoked mozzarella. It came with a huge slice of bread drenched in olive oil. It was so delicious that it made me excited for the rest of the meal. The tagliatelle with ragu $26 turned out better than I expected. The noodles were al dente; the ragu didn't have that poor tomato paste taste that I dislike. The kitchen split the plate in half for me to share, so honestly the plate didn't look like much. I was forewarned that the pasta servings are smaller than you'd imagine. The crispy duck confit $38 was so tender and delicious. The Brussel spouts threw me off a bit because they were sour/vinegar-y and spicy. The pear was a nice sauce, but I wouldn't get that again. The beef tagliata $46 was good, but I enjoyed the duck more. The beef came with REALLY salty/sour arugula. Maybe I should have read the menu more closely, but it's like they drenched the salad with the candy Lucas. It was so salty and sour that it made my canker sores burn. Thinking about it is making me salivate again - and not in a good way! Our server Elyssa was great! She was so fun and made me laugh multiple times. The hostess did check our IDs and COVID vaccination cards. There are restrooms toward the kitchen in the back. Price is a big turn off for me to return. Appetizers start at $20. I did love the tagliatelle though, so I am curious how the other pastas will taste. read more

My bf and I always wanted to try this place but the menu always threw us off - it looked too avant-garde with words that make us go huh? instead of omg! But we finally decided to give it a shot and can't wait to come back again! We devoured 6 dishes between the 2 of us with no leftovers lol Toasted Olive Oil Bread - 100/10 (not on the menu) we always like to order garlic bread, but the closest thing they had was bread soaked in olive oil and toasted and it was HEAVENLY. I forgot if there was garlic on it but it was savory. I also love sourdough so I might be biased, but this might be my new favorite toasted bread in the world! Nancy's Caesar - 1000/10, ok I was very skeptical about this and was blown away as a result. Each piece of lettuce was cut perfectly identical, and the toppings to lettuce ratio was perfect, no parts left behind. I like interactive food so this was very fun to eat because you build your own bite lol Fonduta Ravioli - 100/10, this is almost like an italian/cheese dumpling, I think it was our favorite. they serve it plain then drizzle the balsamic vinegar in front of you (you don't need to say when) Orecchiette - this was surprisingly delicious also, it reminded me of pizza. It's on the saltier side, but I would order it again! Shaved Brussel Sprouts - this was good! I could do without the nuts but it was a great palette/texture cleanser to all the carby bites Pork Chop - I can't find the full name of this on the menu anymore, but it came with a bone, and some apricot glaze? and some kind of beans. Anyways, it was really good! The apricot complimented the flavor of the meat. This entree came last and we were SO full but still managed to finish it. Parking is hard to find, they do have a valet but it's a separate company so they do not validate! read more

Absolutely amazing! Everything about this place and the people who work here is and experience that everyone will love. John was our waiter and did amazing at recommending what to order and how. Course's came out perfectly, just on a timed schedule without missing a step. Supporting team was excellent in refilling drinks and cleaning table. Food, ex-freaking-quisite!!!! Only thing I can say. Top tier restaurant with top tier food and pricing but sooo worth it. Will be seeing this place again soon. read more

Honestly, everything here was great - the food, the drinks, the service, the atmosphere. I had such a great time here celebrating a friends birthday. The grilled octopus and the 36-month parmigiano reggiano appetizer definitely whetted my appetite. I also really enjoyed the gnocchi with duck ragu, the agnolotti, and the beef tagliata. Oh, and how can I forgot the drinks? They had a $40 espresso martini, which got us kinda curious so we tried it. Well, it was good, but let's just say it's $25 good, not $40 good Regardless, would definitely come back here again to celebrate a special occasion or date night! read more

I don't get how this place only has 4 stars bc it is one of the best restaurants in LA. From service to ambiance to cuisine this place always comes through spectacularly. Top notch service, truly. Definitely fine dining executed right. Most importantly however is the food! It is inanely well prepared and the dishes are cohesive. Here its about the little details and i love that. The mozzarella dishes are so beautifully balanced and delicious. A must try. We had the buffalo mozzarella with anchovies with crispy garlic bread and wow. Perfect little bites. The pasta is so fresh, beef cheek ravioli was delicate yet so flavorful. Orecchiette was incredible. Grilled tagliata was perfect at medium rare over a bed of arugula and parm. Yum! We skipped out on desert unfortunately but ive had it here before and they're all insane. Gelatti and sorbetti are so good. Cocktails also fire. Perfectly made craft cocktail. The imortalle is a spin on corpse reviver and it is light and citrusy. So good!!! Also their famous espresso martini is super decadent and must try. At a steep 35 bucks it is strong and feels like 2 cocktails, worth the price. Favorite restaurant!! read more

Friends came to visit and decided to eat here for dinner. The burrata sampler was decent and the bread was pretty good though pretty overpriced for what it is. The dates and prosciutto was a zero effort dish that tasted fine but was literally just the ingredients served on a platter for a hefty price. The pasta was quite bad. The cacio y peppe - over cooked, way too salty, minimal pepper flavoring, the seafood pasta - wine reduction didn't not cook off enough and the overall flavoring of the sauce was astringent and unpleasant, the fish was well cooked, though celery would not be my choice for accompaniment. Service was fine, just seems very overpriced for very mid food and pretty bad pasta for an Italian restaurant. read more

Wet from cold rain, we stepped into the Tuscan hued Osteria Mozza's main room and immediately I felt a sense of warm familiarity. Was it because of the former beloved Dean and DeLucca market? Or was it because once inside, you are transported to Italy? Maybe both. We were seated immediately. Our server was quirky and charming. He made us feel like we were watching a good movie character or a play actor. Loved Matthew. He made our dining experience fun. Everything from the Lambrusco to the tiramisu was delicious. Antipasti was the Cinco Jotas Jambon Iberia & Prosciutto do Parma, so simple and yummy. Primi was Mafaldine, oxtail ragu on a just the right pasta. Secondi, the Beef Tagliata. Everything was perfectly prepared. No exaggeration. Make your reservations in advance because like a precious diamond, they are rare. read more

This is a late review; my experience is from February! My boyfriend brought me here for Valentine's Day because we are big fans of Joe Bastianich. We waited by the bar while we waited for them to bring us to our table. The restaurant is nicely decorated and dimly lit. After being seated, our server was very quick to explain the menu to us and offer us drinks. For dinner, we had gnocchi with duck Ragú, the ricotta and egg raviolo, pan seared sea trout, and tagliatelle with oxtail ragú. My top favorites of the evening were the gnocchi with duck ragú and the ricotta and egg raviolo. The egg was perfectly runny in the middle of the raviolo. The trout was cooked very well and had a perfect crisp on the skin. So glad we had come here and definitely looking forward to coming back! read more

Almost feels pointless writing this review... because everything is so good. You know you're in for a treat with the entrees when the appetizers (kale salad and cheese board) are already phenomenal.

So disappointed. Went for my birthday dinner. The place was bustling but don't understand why ( other than currently undeserved michelin Star) The food was poorly prepared and flavorless....and over priced! The service was good however. Do not order the Burrata and Bacon...tasteless and tough with poorly prepared overcooked cold bacon. Pasta was way undercooked, i like al dente but come on!!!!! Overall boring, tasteless dinner with poor wine choices for quartino forcing an expensive bottle choice. I think Michelin should make another visit.....to protect their reputation. read more

If I were to rate this place purely based on the food I'd rate it a three stars, the food was decent. However, our server Jen provided such a poor experience for our table specifically it ruined the dinner. Note that we were seated about the same time as the table next to us, and she continuously talked to them, explaining in detail each dish. When servicing my table, she barely gave us enough time and even walked out in the middle of me ordering a drink. I made it clear I wanted to order another drink, so I began asking questions but after barely answering one question she walked out on us and I had to ask the assistant servers to wave her down to take my order. Before we were even done eating she rushed to take my plate, and I had to tell her I wasn't done eating, when there clearly was food on the plate (we were on the last seating, so there were no tables after us). I understand she clearly can be an amazing server as the table next to us was well serviced, and we were clearly an afterthought as she wouldn't even give us a full minute. 0/5 stars on service. I wish I could give this place a higher score given the expectations for a nicer restaurant, but the service greatly reduced the quality which doesn't justify the price. Food: 3/5 stars Mozzerlla di Bufala&condimenti: I thought this was really good, note that you will be charged 2$ for bread at the end. We were given 4 sauces and they paired well with the mozzerlla. The mozzerlla was well prepared and so soft that it was basically spreadable on the bread. Would recommend this dish. Tortellini: the creamy tortellini was well paired in the sauce. I enjoyed the filling as if enhanced the texture and flavor of the dish. Tagliatelle: pretty standard, there was nothing too special with this dish, it came as expected. The oxtail was tender, and mixed well with the sauce. Blackhawk farms wagyu beef segreto: this was delicious, the steak was cooked to chefs Choice which was a medium rare and the cook was perfect. The meat itself was so juicy, and well seasoned with a good sear on the edges. read more

The restaurant is beautiful with great vibes. It's very busy and loud but expected. The service was great. The food was delicious. The egg yolk ravioli is amazing and a must try. It melts in your mouth. I had the oxtail tagliatelle and it was delicious. I also tried the ravioli with mushrooms and it was very flavorful. It is on the pricier side of course, but definitely a great place for a nice dinner! read more

Beautiful night to eat Italian! Started with wine and Nancy's favorite cheese trio. That bread is amazing and the cheese is beautiful. The Cesar was one of my favorite dishes. Tagliolini is amazing! Cacio e Pepe not my favorite. Duck confit and Rock cod both good! Olive oil cake yes! Tiramisu not so much. Great night, lots of fun flavors, some hits and misses but overall so good! Definitely would return again. Thank you read more

This was my first time at a Michelin star restaurant and it lived up to all the expectations. We were here to celebrate our engagement and had a very special time. I reserved over the phone about a week in advance and asked for a secluded table, telling them about the occasion. They were very sweet and flexible on the phone, helped me out at every step. Experience: They have valet parking and there's also plenty of street parking available. They have 3 restaurants in the same building so get a bit confusing. We got there about 10 minutes before our reservation and what I liked about them is that they are very particular with time so they asked us to hang out at the bar. We got a round of drinks which were delicious btw. You can get the bar stuff added to your table tab so it's very convenient. Service: Once the table was ready we were led to it. It was truly very secluded like I asked, they did their best. Since we were celebrating, we got a complimentary glass of champagne each. Our server was this sweet guy who helped us pair our food with some delicious wine. He was very eloquent when explaining the menu. All his recommendations worked out great. Food: So how it works is that their menu is divided into courses, you could mix and match, the server helps well with explaining the portion sizes, etc. We got the burrata with walnuts to share, it was like a flavor bomb in the mouth. Next, we got the Gnocchi in duck ragu and orecchiette with sausage, the orecchiette was my favorite from this course(actually a MUST TRY according to me). For our mains, we got the pan-seared braised beef with potatoes & grilled sonoma county lamb chops. The beef was juicy and cooked just as I asked. I had a wonderful time having this meal. Everything was on point, and I feel you can't really go wrong with their menu. Their cocktails are delicious too and the wine pairings are a cherry on the top. In-all: Definitely a must-visit place, especially if you are celebrating. It is worth the price, wait, drive(if you like me are an out-of-towner). I have recommended this place to so many people since my visit. I would go back in a heartbeat. read more

This restaurant is on the southwest corner of Melrose and Highland Ave. Valet parking seems the only way to go because the parking in the neighborhood surround has all these crazy stipulations. I made a reservation for last Sunday at 5pm right when they open. We sat in the back room that looks like a library. Dim lighting and candles throughout the restaurant. First we had the Burratina Pugliese burrata with crusty bread and red peppers it was ok. Tagliatelle with oxtail Ragu was good. My favorite was the Blackhawk Farms Wagyu Beef with compound butter. This had great flavor and the butter was delicious. Got the French Toast for dessert, it was good but I didn't love the dish. But I have food allergies so was limited on what I could order. Service was ok they change out your plates and silverware each dish. Overall I would rank this restaurant 7/10. read more

The highlights of the meal came from the mozzarella bar menu: burrata with peach and the fett' unta bread. Both were delicious but the rest of the pastas left us wanting for more. Service was great and parking is available on the street or valet. Restaurant is on the loud side. I really wanted to love this place but the pastas really felt like it was missing a somethin' somethin' that just didn't feel complete. Probably won't be back as a first choice but wouldn't oppose it if we did come back since the appetizers were yummy! read more

This place was OK to me however this WAS my sister's go to restaurant. My favourite dish was their pasta which I can't remember the pasta's name. They had an appetizer with peach and meat which was interesting and funky tasting to me! The ambiance is mediocre to me as well...I did not appreciate their service - where one of the waiter assumed my partner and I was fighting but we were just talking in the bathroom hallway because the restaurant inside is loud that you need to higher your voice so it sounds like your shouting. They should have just minded their own business as we are also customers here. Anyways the food overall including their dessert was OK to me as I went with what the servers had recommended to me. Their gelato ice cream had a cultivated taste - I finished all of the gelato ice cream~ their pasta and gelato was the best. read more

I think I'd return in a small party. The food was delicious but some portions were a bit small. The Brussels salad is way too salty. The Caesar salad was delicious but a little oddly deconstructed so you need to cut it up and then put it together to eat. The focaccia was not really focaccia, it was mostly air with a little bit of melted cheese and way overpriced. The mozza caprese is delicious! The oxtail mafaldine was phenomenal, and we enjoyed the sunchoke capelacci (both very small portions). The best thing we had was the branzino, probably the best I've ever had. The service was good, but please remind people to ask if you're done before you remove the plates. There was a bit of oxtail left and this lady took it without asking. The restaurant is beautiful. It would be a great date night spot. read more

The food was delicious! I really need to go back to try their other restaurant, Pizzeria Mozza. BTW, if you've never been, just know that Osteria Mozza is located right on the corner of Melrose and Highland. To the left of the corner you'll find Pizzeria Mozza, and to the right, their pick up window. read more

Had a lovely dinner at Osteria Mozza, I was so impressed with the dining experience. This restaurant really has it all; the ambiance, staff, and food was phenomenal. Our waitress was amazing and all of her recommendations came out absolutely amazing. We started the evening with their signature THE espresso martini and I always order an espresso martini every where I go so I had to try this. And it probably was one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had but idk if I would get it again since the price is a bit steep for it ($40). For dinner we ordered the Fett'unta and grilled octopus. The grilled octopus was seasoned perfectly and was so tender. The Fett'unta is their garlic bread and it was a great crusty bread that had an amazing garlic flavor but it was a bit too oily for me. The next course we ordered the ricotta and egg raviolo and tagliatelle with oxtail ragu. I appreciated that they split the tagliatelle in half for us when I had mentioned that we were sharing everything. And the egg raviolo was absolutely amazing!!! Will definitely have to get 2 of that next time because it was so tasty. For the third course we got the pan seared filet and pan seared sea trout. The filet only comes in medium rare and the temp came out perfect. The steak was a beautiful red that was soft and tender. I also enjoyed the sea trout but it was forgettable to me in comparison to the other dishes. I wanted to order the gelato pie for dessert but they had ran out for the night so will definitely have to try it the next time I go. Also a side note is some of the courses may take a while to come out. I think our dinner took about 2-2.5 hours in total, but everything was well worth the wait. read more

Went there for my wife's bday. We had 7:30 resys and still they showed to a table is Siberia, no way! We opted for the mozzarella bar instead. We had been there a few times before and felt comfortable with the resy and the food. I had read a negative review on The Infatuation, but felt the criticism seemed personal and unprofessional. Short story long, dinner was fing amazing. Burrata with anchovies, figs with pancetta, Orecchiette, Ricotta & Egg Raviolo and finally Brioche Tart. The bottle of wine was spot on that the sommelier Josh chose for our menu. It's not a value meal but it's an incredible meal. Our server was tremendous. Wish we could afford to come here more often, but for special occasions, I wouldn't hesitate. Kudos Osteria Mozza! read more
