Obicà Mozzarella Bar Pizza e Cucina

This restaurant is SO tasty and the ambiance is great. They provide great, fast service. Obica will validate parking in the structure, so don’t forget to bring your ticket with you. The cheese, pizza, pasta, and wine are all amazing. The burrata is to die for. This place gives you a little taste of Italy.

Good food and service. Gluten free options.

After a few years intending to get here, the perfect opportunity presented itself on a recent Saturday evening. We reserved ahead of time via Open Table and were seated immediately on arrival. Instead of pizza or pasta, we opted for some small plates including a classic Buffalo Mozzarella and the Prosciutto (both pictured and both sensational). We also enjoyed arancini as well as a sauteed brussels sprouts dish. The arancini I might hesitate to recommend. I know it's a mozzarella restaurant, but the cheese filling within was a little over the top, and the tomato ragu served at side of the arancini could have had more traditional pepper punch. The arancini were also slightly over-fried. (As I write this I realize that having grown up close to an enormous Italian community, I'm picky about arancini.) We each had a glass of an Italian red wine that we thought was excellent. Lastly, we found most of the crew that night to be friendly and genuinely interested in making our visit the best it could be. With one noticeable exception.

Well done! Good food and service.

A great place to have some italian quisine, I recomend the bolognese! The service was also excelent!

Really good Italian food in a city where there are very few good Italian restaurants. You can tell the owner really cares about this place. Good salads, pasta, great thin crust pizza- the dough is made right there in the front of the restaurant and wonderful mozzarella! There is a cool little bar in the front for drinks and a decent wine menu. It is a small place, reasonably priced and no fuss. What more could one ask for?

Absolutely delicious. We had the truffle burrata, 'nduja pizza, croquettes, and a butternut squash soup. Of course, as any good Italian does, we had some afternoon aperol spritz. Overall service was great, food was delicious, and the ambiance was nice. Seated recommends them as a chill & casual spot-- definitely great place to eat before catching a movie!

I've read some of the more critical reviews, and - to be perfectly honest - I'm not sure I understand what some of the people are talking about. For starters, I've come here well over a dozen times, and I've never had an overtly *bad* customer service experience. Quite to the contrary, I've always had nothing but great service here: my servers have all been extremely attentive and pleasant to a fault, and the manager is a really nice guy who has remembered me and greeted me personally when I've come in. It is true they're a bit on the pricier side for a full dinner, but to my way of thinking, the price is justified by the quality of the food. The burrata and prosciutto are absolutely *heavenly* decadent (as is the ricotta mousse dessert), and even the "regular" mozzarella is no mere ordinary lump of cheese: it is all authentic water buffalo mozzarella imported from Campagna. Not something you can buy in just any store. Regardless, sharing a portion - a mozzarella "tasting" platter, with selection of cheese and accompaniment of charcuterie meats/vegetables and greens, is just right for 2 people who aren't big eaters - makes the price per person rather more reasonable. I recently shared one - along with a salad, a dessert, and a drink apiece - for about $35 per person. They're actually a great deal for lunch, as you can get a lunch-sized tasting entree, or any of their selections of sandwiches (with a side salad) for a bit more than $15. Their sandwiches were what initially attracted me, though they discontinued my favorite croissant sandwich with prosciutto and mozzarella at some point back in 2012 or so. The pizza is also quite the pleasant surprise. True to their mozzarella-centric nature, most are relatively simple and revolve around the featured cheese and a choice of meat or vegetable. The 3 I've had have all been quite excellent; the tomato sauce is delightfully light and savory (it also tastes appreciably fresher than most sauces in recent memory), and the cheeses nicely complement the other chosen toppings. The crust is light (that is, not filling) and thin, with a just satisfying amount of crunch. It's a bit on the soft side, which makes it a bit difficult to handle; the trick is to fold their larger-than-typical cut slices, NY-style. Overall, I highly recommend them to fans of mozzarella and fresco Italian. I do not understand how people could honestly be disappointed in the service or the quality of the food, and I do not believe you will regret it.
