I visited with a group of coworkers on a last-minute whim. We were seated quickly. Arriving early definitely helped, but I'd still recommend making reservations in advance. We were seated in the indoor patio area, which had a wonderful ambiance and gave us the feeling of dining outdoors while still being comfortable inside. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and highly professional. The food arrived quickly. Standout dishes included the Sweet Corn Cappellacci, the broccolini, and the tiramisu. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully prepared. Highly recommend! read more

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

Osteria Mozza nails the atmosphere. The place looks great, service was excellent from start to finish, and the prices are actually more reasonable than I expected for a nice restaurant in DC. That said, the food was a letdown. The mozzarella appetizer was fine but nothing special.. it's cheese and tomato. Everything after that was further disappointing. I wanted to like it because everything else about the experience was solid, but the food is ultimately what matters most. Unless they're having an off night, I don't see myself coming back. read more

We joined as walk-ins for a cocktail and dessert at the bar. What a beautiful Italian restaurant right in the middle of Georgetown. The service was disengaged, but the dessert was delicious and my Negroni was perfect. Definitely try the butterscotch! I will return to try the full experience. PS they even have your favorite Italian spices, pasta, sauce, and other goods for sale as you walk out -- worth a little shopping spree! read more

Osteria Mozza - Butterscotch Budino - Italian Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I had really high hopes for Osteria Mozza after hearing so many great things (since my LA years). First impressions were fantastic. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, the service was warm and attentive, and I was pleasantly surprised that the prices were actually pretty reasonable for a restaurant of this caliber in DC. Unfortunately, the food just didn't live up to everything else. The mozzarella appetizer was the best thing we ordered and delicious. My pasta dish was noticeably overcooked and mushy, which was disappointing for an Italian restaurant. I kept hoping each bite would get better, but it never really did. Overall, I left feeling pretty underwhelmed. I'd happily come back for drinks and the mozzarella, but I don't think I'd return expecting a memorable Italian meal. read more

Went here for a beautiful weekend brunch. Interior was spacious and immaculate, very airy and nicely decorated. Staff was as welcoming and knowledgeable as can be. We shared several dishes. I got the roasted eggplant piadini. A Margherita pizza was also ordered, as well as the steak and eggs. Everything was delicious. The piadini was a light, puffy and crispy round bread stuffed with a heaping portion of roasted eggplant with a yogurt dressing. A side salad of greens in and oil and vinegar dressing rounded out the meal. The pizza had a thin but chewy and crispy crust with a savory tomato sauce, soft mozzarella and basil. The steak was tender and slightly charred in the exterior. Great place for an intimate meal or groups! read more

Came here last night for my friend's birthday and the vibes were immaculate. This place has been on my radar since I moved to NoVA last August and I'm glad I finally tried it and I'm excited to go back again! read more

So many great things to say about this place, best of all being its STAFF! We stumbled upon this place by chance. I insisted on going in here because they just look like they have good wine. Correct. They did. A great selection of respectable European varietals. We noshed a bit but didn't eat a meal, but I can tell you that the wines would pair incredibly with their menu. We ordered the olive bowl and grilled octopus-- which was made to perfection, btw. Really brought the wine to life. The space omg THAT SPACE! Beautiful, breathable, eclectic and yet wholly European lakeside chateau vibes. We sat at the bar but there was also a huge dining room, a wide green room (glass ceiling so it gave major outdoor vibes without actually being outside, and even a (roomy) private dining room on a mezzanine level that overlooks the dining and bar area. As mentioned, the staff were our favorite part. Special shoutout to Oja (spelling? It's pronounced Oha), Dominic (if I remember correctly), and a member of the catering/events team, who was so warm and professional. We spent most of our time with Oja, who was so delightful we proactively highjacked her time! Definitely will come back much as I can. Everything was such a smooth, professional, and obviously carefully curated operation. A stand-out place in G'town. read more

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

First of all, the interior of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful! That was definitely my favorite part of the experience. We tried the burrata & grilled asparagus, jamon iberico & prosciutto plate, orecchiette, and mafaldine. Everything was tasty, but nothing was mind-blowing (especially for those prices!). The portions for most dishes are pretty small. The two pasta plates we had were the perfect amount of food. I would say that the appetizers are shareable for two people, but no more than that. I don't like to be overly critical of food, as I quite honestly eat everything, but I felt a bit disappointed with dinner. However, the cheesecake was delicious. The service was great. Very friendly and walked us through the menu. It was pretty funny how every time we ordered literally anything, they said it was "the most popular item on the menu." I got a laugh out of that. Either way, I had a great experience! I wouldn't go back for just the food, but mainly for the beautiful atmosphere. read more

10/10!! The service. The food. The ambiance. The inside is so beautiful and there is so much space to sit! There's an upstairs, a main level, a patio, it is huge!! The main attraction for me was the mozzarella bar though... so many options with different types of mozzarella and all so delicious! I did think it would be a salad bar situation with the mozzarella but it is on the menu and it prepared fresh which was even better! I went with a large group and we ordered the arancini, focaccia di recco, sun gold tomato Caprese, burrata and peach, tuna crudo, eggplant ripiene as apps. For entrees we got the pici, goat cheese ravioli, lamp chops, and then for dessert the rosemary olive oil cake and the strawberry gelato pie (so delicious, so unique, and I'd definitely get this again)!! read more

We were in town visiting our daughter this weekend and she made us a reservation at this beautiful restaurant in Georgetown. There is plenty of seating in their indoor dining room, as well as in their outdoor air-condioned patio area, or the spacious bar. The menu offers about twenty delicious appetizers, ten pastas, nine entrees, and seven side dishes. Our table started with the sungold tomato caprese, the shaved Brussel sprouts, and the arancini. All three appetizers tasted great. For entrees we had the rigatoni alla carbonara, the mafaldine, the goat cheese ravioli, and the beef tagliata. We also had the sweet potato side dish which was fabulous. Everyone enjoyed their entrees but the standouts were the mafaldine and the beef tagliata. Service from Daniel was outstanding. read more

I don't like judging food due to cultural reasons and how I was brought up. I was taught to appreciate food even if it is not upto my standards. That said, being on this app and criticizing food is something of an oxymoron of me. I bring some of the most strict criticism to the fine dining experiences I part take in. Osteria Mozza has been on my list for sometime but getting a reservation was challenging till last year. I finally got to visit last night and honestly, I am impressed. This might be one of my top 20 dining experiences of all time. First of all I want to thank the staff for everything they did fr adjusting my reservation because I was running late, being kind when my guest accidentally dropped a glass and helping us clean. I really appreciate the kindness of the staff. Thank you so much. The place is beautiful. The aesthetic is a mix of old industrial ceilings with retro Italian architecture. Coming to the food. Nothing disappointed me even a tad bit. Everything was just amazing. Starting with the Mozzarella bar. The bread, the dips and the cheese. I was delighted tasting everything. I would just come here again alone for the Mozz Bar. Then the blue prawns were marinated and grilled to perfection. The presentation was 10/10 but the taste was 11/10. The oxtail pasta was delicious! I usually do not go for pasta but this honestly made me fall in love with pasta again. The whole branzino was seared to perfection. It was salty, the skin was crispy, the meat was flaky and cooked simply. There was a bed of herbs under the branzino that tasted out of this world. Last but not the least, the rosemary cake. I now know that one should only eat vanilla ice cream over olive oil. Out of this world! This is an experience worth every penny! 5/5 must go for special occasions! read more

Glad we were able to get a reservation. The restaurant was busy and lively. The decor and atmosphere was great. We stopped by for a late bite and enjoyed everything. We started with drinks and appetizers. We ordered a bit of everything. Our waiter recommended Mozzarella de Bufala and it was amazing. We also tried the focaccia with Prosciutto, Bluefin Tuna Crudo and Goat Cheese Ravioli. Everything was cooked to perfection. So much flavor in every bite. Definitely a place you need to try and experience. read more

Came here recently Saturday night to celebrate my birthday with my girlfriends. The restaurant is nice, and has an energetic vibe! The bar was packed too. Service was great--our server Mili was friendly and attentive. We started off with the Nancy's Caesar and Shaved Brussel Sprouts--the Caesar was disappointing, just a few pieces of lettuce and oddly presented. Pastas were delicious and flavorful but were relatively small portions--we enjoyed the Mafaldine, Rigatoni, and Linguine & Clams. The 24oz. Grilled Porcini-Rubbed Ribeye was huge--well flavored, tender and cooked perfect! Whole Branzino Alla Piastra was just okay--fish was soft but it lacked flavored, would have been better more seasoned or accompanied by a sauce. For sides, highly recommend the Sweet Potatoes! Roasted Cauliflower was good but it looked like broccoli since it was green, but tasted like a cauliflower. For dessert, Mili brought out a birthday dessert (ice cream with cookie) and a lit candle for the celebration! We also tried the Tiramisu and Apple Crisp. Cocktails were on point and prices started off at $16-17 a drink. We had an awesome experience, would definitely come back! read more

I was lucky enough to visit Osteria Mozza twice within a week to show visiting friends and family one of the best Italian spots in the city. The focaccia is not to be missed, and as mentioned it's not the fluffy, doughier stuff you might expect. It can be embellished with add-ons but they are unnecessary! With two friends, we shared the first item on the Mozza bar menu, which is ideal for sharing with several people. I also came back twice to the goat cheese ravioli. Pasta of all cuts usually does not miss. Very much al dente texture without clumping from undercooking. We also enjoyed the seasonal strawberry dessert. Expect low, warm lighting and lively vibes in the main dining room. The terrace space is also lovely and feels a little more intimate. Staff is always attentive and usually super warm. read more

I had a great brunch with a friend at Osteria Mozza. We were seated right away. Everything on the menu looked awesome. I ordered an eggplant flatbread sandwich, and it was very flavorful and fresh. It came with some green salad on the side. It was my friend's birthday and they brought a complimentary dessert, which was so nice! We also tried the olive oil cakes for dessert, and that was probably my favorite thing that we had! The restaurant has ample seating. It's comfortable and classy.

Let me start off by saying WOW. I have been wanting to try this spot for so long and i finally did today. It is so unassuming on the outside but once you open that door you are indulged with the most amazing fragrance of food and gorgeous interior design. I love everything about this place. They have a small menu but thats how you know theyve really perfected each dish. I was looking for calamari but they didnt have which i found odd but im actually glad because i opted for the arancini instead. The rice inside was cooked to perfection with the perfectly crispy exterior and the best red sauce ive ever had and i dont even like red sauce. The hangar steak was fabulous with a really hard char on the outside but tender inside. The arugula salad was so light and fresh. Oxtail ragu literally melted and the type of pasta they used really holds the sauce well. I will absolutely be coming back read more

Osteria Mozza has terrific food, but what impressed me were the logistics: - they offer valet parking, a very nice touch in the area, since parking can be very difficult. - on a very hot 4th of July weekend, they have a covered patio which faces outside, but it's well air conditioned to offer the perfect indoor/outdoor experience - the water closets (AKA bathrooms) are all unisex, and in the basement level of the restaurant. They are clean, modern, spacious, and laid out in almost a maze-like layout, so there's no awkwardness. As far as the restaurant itself, the food was delicious. Our party of four shared multiple apps, pastas and entrees, and the wine list is extensive. My favorite was the grilled beef tagliata, a perfectly prepared and flavorful dish, along with sweet potatoes topped with creme fraiche. Service from Daniel was absolutely superior, he is a true professional! Our bill was a bit higher due to the amount of wine, but still we averaged just about $80 per person, a reasonable value especially in the DC area. Overall, a wonderful choice. read more

I had brunch at Osteria Mozza on Sunday, and it was one of the best brunch experiences I've had recently. My only prior experience with Nancy Silverton restaurants was a visit to Pizzeria Mozza back in 2018 or 2019, when I was in LA with a friend. We thought about eating at Osteria Mozza, but decided to go more casual and eat at the pizzeria, since it was a lunch. But I've always wanted to visit her Osteria. Lucky for me - we on the East Coast don't have to go all the way to LA to eat at Nancy's Silverton's Osteria Mozza, because one opened in LA at the end of last year. The restaurant is enormous (when I walked in, I thought I was looking at the whole restaurant, but then I was walked to my table in another area, which felt like an attached greenhouse - full of light and glass), but it's also gorgeous, sophisticated, and elegant. My table was a little two top in the corner, and it was such a cozy spot. The service from start to finish was also excellent. My server was wonderful; he went above and beyond. When I was overwhelmed by how much I wanted on the menu - especially as a solo diner that didn't want to over-order - he was so helpful and honest. He really helped me narrow things down and order the right dishes to ensure I could eat what I ordered. He really took care of me, and he made my experience wonderful. So it's gorgeous and the service was perfect. But what about the food and drinks? Also wonderful! I started with one of their aperitivi: 9 Di Dante - Rosé Vermouth (bright citrus with balanced herbal botanicals - served with amarini cherries), which was wonderful. I started with their Little Gem Lettuce Salad (with green goddess and candied pepitas), which was simple and bright and had great texture from those candied pepitas. It was a great way to start a meal - light enough that I still had room for a pasta course. Based on the recommendation of my wonderful server, I ordered the orecchiette (with sausage and Swiss chard). Another delicious dish, but wow did it pack a punch. It was spicy and savory and just simple pasta perfection. I loved it. I really wish I had had room for dessert, but I'll make sure to have room next time. I finished my meal with an espresso. This brunch was one of my favorites this year. The food was delicious. The service was outstanding. The restaurant is beautiful. I often finish a positive review by saying I'd be happy to return, but I will return to Osteria Mozza. I can't wait. read more

Everything was absolutely fantastic! From the ambiance, food, and service, 10/10!!! Some of the best service I've ever had. My water glass was never less than half filled. They swap out your silverware between apps/mains which is very nice. Food was sooo yummy! Arancini were cheesy, the orrechiette was perfectly cooked and the breadcrumbs added such a nice crunch and had a mild kick of spice! Gelato for dessert was also amazing!! Lots of flavors to choose from. Highly highly recommend and I can't wait to go back! read more

We had an incredibly delicious dinner at Osteria Mozza this evening! It was so close to 5 stars and I won't be surprised if they earn a Michelin star soon. From the moment you step in the door, the ambiance hits you. The dimly lit, huge restaurant is beautifully decorated inside. We were sat in a gorgeous side room that feels like an indoor patio with huge archways and filled with plants. I'm obsessed with that room. First we started with cocktails. I had a Rosa Spritz and my husband had an espresso martini. My Spritz was so light and fruity with a hint of rosemary, and not too sweet. Perfetto! And the espresso martini was to die for with perfect foam on top. How do they do that? Such a great start! Then onto the food. We started with the squash blossom fritti, mozza caprese and their signature focaccia. Everything was delicious! The squash blossoms were perfectly fried and crispy with creamy ricotta filling. The Mozza caprese was served with pesto, baked tomatoes and garlic toast. The mozzarella was so creamy and decadent. But, the focaccia was a stand out. It was so light and crispy - filled with cheese and topped with the good oil and sea salt. So simple and perfect! I've never had such thin, crispy focaccia. WOW! Our next course was pasta. And I have to say, I will be dreaming of their egg yolk raviolo in perfectly browned butter with crispy sage. Cutting into it and watching the yolk pour out was something special. And the filling was so creamy. It was so good, we ordered a second. We also got a tagliatelle bolognese, but that one missed the mark. The pasta was a bit over cooked and the sauce sparse. It's ok! We enjoyed everything else so much. For our secondi, we each got an entree but they could have been EASILY shared by multiple people. I had the branzino that was so crispy and on top of an herb salad. The fish was so delicate and cooked to perfection. My husband's chicken wasn't as successful - it was a bit dry and served on bread that soaked up all of the Jus, leaving his chicken mostly without sauce. Bummer! Finally, dessert. Another show stopper!! You HAVE to get the peanut butter stracciatella pie - with peanut butter filling, an Oreo crust, topped with creme fraiche, caramel and toasted peanuts was so sinful and an incredible ending to an amazing meal. Grazie mille, Osteria Mozza! Ci vediamo a presto. read more

Such a gorgeous restaurant. The staff is warm, attentive, and the place is spotless. I ordered a Caesar salad , it came on a crostini bread and grilled yellow fin. It was so delicious. The salad shad delicious light Smokey notes from the anchovy and leek that brought the other flavors in nicely. The grilled yellow fin was delicately seasoned. The texture was a perfectly light, tender and fatty. I would definitely recommend this place for brunch! 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

If it has Nancy's name on it, it has to be good and trust me it was. It's busy so plan accordingly but if you do have to wait grab a dirty martini at the bar (blue cheese olives of course) and have a great convo with a stranger! Their apps really spoke to us so we got the warm dates with prosciutto, the octopus which was cooked to pure perfection, and stuffed squash blossoms. I'd recommend them all over and over again. For my entree I got the carbonara rigatoni which was a smaller portion but it's homemade pasta so I get it. The cracked pepper, fatty bacon, and cream all balanced each other really well. We finished with three desserts but the gelato pie took the prize for the best. read more

Ventured down in to Georgetown and tried brunch at Osteria Mozza. Located in the old Dean & Deluca building, the interior of the restaurant is very well done. A large round bar greets you after you pass through the small Italian market. The food was outstanding. The Chop salad was like an Italian cold cut sub without the bread. I really enjoyed the salad and the dressing. The pasta dishes were the perfect size for lunch, small yet bursting with flavor. Later in the day the Mozzarella Bar opens near the front of the restaurant. Our waiter advised us to make a reservation to sit at the Mozzarella Bar sometime. We certainly will and dine again at Osteria Mozza! read more

Really cool and funky vibe in this older building which feels like a former church.

This is one of the prettiest restaurants! First time here for dinner and it was just as good as their brunch! We sat in the main part of the restaurant, which is beautifully decorated. Quiet enough to hear conversation even when all the tables are full. Attentive service from keeping our waters filled to refill on drinks to clearing dishes. We shared the Focaccia Di Recco, brussel sprout salad, burrata and leeks, and sweet potatoes. Focaccia Di Recco - we were underwhelmed and expected something "better" or more special especially as it was advertised as one of the best starters. I don't think anyone from our group would order it again. We expected it to be more like traditional focaccia and this was more like a thin flaky pizza crust with cheese. Brussel Sprout Salad - we quite enjoyed it - tangy dressing, fresh! Would get again! Burrata and Leeks - good flavor but felt on the smaller size. We would probably try one of the other burrata or mozzarella options on a future visit to try something new, but enjoyed this! Sweet Potatoes - absolutely delicious! We almost ordered a second order. 100% will order these again! We all really enjoyed our mains (except one)- most of our group had pasta. The Tagliatelle with bolognese and Parmesan was rich, filling, and cheesy. Goat cheese ravioli also a fantastic choice. Unfortunately, the rigatoni was undercooked - not just al dente - but not fully cooked. The carbonara sauce had good flavor though. I personally would have mentioned it to our server, but my friend didn't want to complain. The Beef Tagliata was a good serving and cooked to what was desired. Chicken Alla Diavola Su Crostone is a very generous serving. It's like a Spatchcocked chicken with a breast, wing, leg, and thigh all served on a thick 1.5" piece of crusty bread and braised onions with chicken au jus and grilled lemon. Three of us had some of this dish and there were still leftovers to go home. Well cooked and great flavor. I could see one of the vegetable sides complimenting this well - especially a green vegetable. We split a tiramisu for dessert - so good! The hazelnuts added a balance of salt and texture to a very well done tiramisu. We would definitely order this again! read more

We just stopped in for a quick dessert. Luckily got seated in less than 5minutes (on a Saturday night) maybe because we told them it was for dessert only. The tiramisu was not traditional because the base seems to be a more rustic cake, but it was excellent!!! Great flavor, and the added hazelnuts for garnish add a great crunch and extra flavor! The coffee came at room temperature. Ask for hot! It has a great vibe - classy, high ceilings. They also have a marketplace element if you want to buy pasta, sauces, wine, etc. on your way out. read more

Such a cute Italian shop. It has a nice wooden rustic feel. I went with a couple of friends and had such a nice experience at the bar! Parking is a little hard, so I'd suggest public transit here or parking in the neighborhoods. These dishes here were so pretty and the pasta cooked to perfection. The highlights of mine were the tiramisu and the tagliatelle. Tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts and one of the best ones I've had, aside from in Italy. The tagliatelle was also cooked perfectly and had such a good simple flavor. We were able to try so many appetizers. The standouts for me were the marinated baby peppers, the cheese pair perfectly. I thought that the buratta and peas would be a weird combination, but it worked so well and the peas added a nice crump/snap to the dish. Absolutely lovely! Will definitely be back again soon! read more

The three of us stopped by Osteria Mozza with the intention of small bites, but we ended up getting so much food. Since we came on a whim, we were able to grab seats at the bar (first come, first serve). The service was nice and friendly. Before the food arrived, we enjoyed a glass of champagne (not sure which one since I wasn't the one ordering) which was a refreshing start. MARINATED BABY PEPPERS Each order came with 5 baby pepper halves topped with a generous amount of tuna salad. I didn't think I would like the peppers, but these were delicious and the crunchy sweetness went well with the creamy, savory tuna. ARANCINI Each order came with 3 arancini that sat on top of some bolognese and topped generously with shredded parm(?). The rice inside was creamy and soft, but you can still pick out individual grains. The fried exterior was done nicely, and it went well with the sauce. GRISSINI I've never had this appetizer before, but essentially, it's prosciutto wrapped around a long pretzel stick that reminded us of a dog treat. Each order came with 3 of them. I personally didn't love this, since the prosciutto came off easily which meant my next bite was essentially just the pretzel. BURRATA & PEAS Each order came with a slab of burrata topped generously with peas, mint, and shredded parmesan while wrapped around some speck (an Italian cured ham similar to prosciutto). The burrata was creamy and was balanced well with the peas and the cool, refreshing aftertaste from the mint. We also got some toast on the side which went well with the burrata appetizer. TAGLIATELLE I love the chewy texture of the tagliatelle and it soaked up the bolognese well. The pasta was hearty and flavorful, and we thought this was done quite nicely. TIRAMISU Osteria Mozza is known for their tiramisu and I can understand why. It is topped generously with hazelnuts, and there was a perfect ratio of lady fingers and mascarpone. The texture of the lady fingers were on point, and the coffee flavor was nice. It was quite sweet, but still enjoyable. GELATO Not sure which one this was off the dessert menu, but it came with a peanut butter-forward gelato with a thin waffle (black sesame and fennel?) that was perched on top. I wasn't a huge fan of the waffle because of the strong fennel aftertaste, but the gelato was creamy and delicious, albeit a bit too sweet. My friends really enjoyed this one too. Osteria Mozza is pretty solid for food and drinks. I'd recommend getting a reservation in advance if possible, but the bar seating is not a bad option, though it does get a bit crowded when there are more people. read more

My friend and I snagged a reservation for 7:30 on a Friday. We got there a bit early so we were sat mostly at our reserved time in the outer glassed in area which I was glad about so I could actually hear my friend. We shared the focaccia which was huge and delicious. I had a pasta which was excellent but definitely a small portion - you will not have any leftovers. With a beer, cocktail, two pastas and the bread it was about $120 before tip so defiantly a nicer, more special place. read more
