"Opening only in September, Ospi is an excellent Italian restaurant in Venice that comes from the same people behind one of our other favorite Italian restaurants on the Westside - Jame Enoteca. Expect a wide-ranging menu full of antipasti, pizza, pasta, and big plates of meat (the lamb neck and pine nut cannelloni is a standout), plus a prime corner location with plenty of good people-watching. If you’re the kind of person who likes to flex their new restaurant knowledge on date night, put Ospi at the top of your list." - brant cox
