Chi Spacca

For Eric Wareheim, These Are the Essentials of the Best Steakhouses | Eater

"Though not technically a steakhouse, Chi Spacca in LA functions like one: it delivers some of the best-quality steak in town and includes many of the traditional accoutrements, even if it doesn’t have the leather booths I associate with classic chophouses, and I’ll go there for that quality." - Bettina Makalintal

"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

The 20 Best Italian Restaurants In LA - Los Angeles - The 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.

"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
