"If you’re looking to celebrate yourself (or someone else) in the highest form possible, Chi Spacca is LA’s ultimate throw-down restaurant. You’re going to spend a lot of money here (they have a $225 porterhouse on the menu), but as long as you know that going in, everything about this meat-focused Italian restaurant delivers. It’s also small and intimate, so you’ll kind of feel like you own the place. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - brant cox
"Chi Spacca is one of three restaurants anchoring the Mozza mini-mall at Melrose and Highland and might just be the best of the bunch. Located in a small red dining room, eating at this Italian steakhouse is like attending a dinner party inside a famous novelist’s wine cellar where one bottle of wine leads to three, and suddenly you’re staring at salumi platters, bone marrow pie, and steak the size of a hubcap. If you’re in the market for a meaty, throwdown meal, few places fit the bill better than Chi Spacca." - team infatuation
"Chi Spacca is one of three restaurants anchoring Nancy Silverton’s Mozza monopoly at Melrose and Highland. While the Pizzeria and Osteria are more popular, Chi Spacca is the best of the bunch. Located in a small red dining room, eating at this Italian steakhouse is like attending a dinner party inside a famous novelist’s wine cellar. It’s an upscale experience (expect to pay well over $100 per person) where one bottle of wine leads to three, and suddenly you’re staring at salumi platters, bone marrow pie, and a steak the size of a hubcap. If you’re in the market for a splurgy, throw-down meal, few places fit the bill better than Chi Spacca. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore
"The carnivorous heart of Nancy Silverton’s “Mozzaplex” is as strong as ever. A modern Italian take on the old-school steakhouse, the restaurant boasts a steady menu of classics that seem to have only gotten better with age. Is there a better beginning than the indulgently cheesy focaccia di recco? Is there a chicken more compelling than the 24-hour brined and marinated pollo alla diavola? The team makes the most of smoke and live fire, as big proteins pass through the wood-burning oven. Indeed, this is hearty cooking that is seasoned boldly and keenly seasonal, served in a space that is intimate and energized all at once. A superb wine list celebrates the vast talents of Italy, and an astute, welcoming staff keeps everything flowing with ease." - Michelin Inspector
"A Hancock Park restaurant that will host a one-day pop-up from a buzzy New York vegetarian burger concept on Sunday, June 8; the lunch pop-up is walk-in-only from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and attendees should expect long lines as well as the visiting chef’s classics and farmers-market specials." - Rebecca Roland
