"Oste in Beverly Grove is a great neighborhood spot for all kinds of occasions—a date, a double date, a post-gym carbapalooza (you get the point). But most of all, it’s an excellent Italian restaurant with a Roman-leaning menu that’ll impress anyone who appreciates some nice antipasto. A casual weeknight dinner should include their herb-loaded lamb chops, perfectly executed mushroom risotto with bone marrow, and beautiful, focaccia-like pinsas (Roman-style pizza). Everything is delicious, portions are generous, and yet, you’re not getting hosed on prices. Plus, you’ll feel good when the owner stops by your table to compliment your order." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore
"Oste in Beverly Grove has a hefty menu that covers antipasti, pasta, a separate burrata bar, and, our favorite section, the pinses. These oblong-shaped flatbreads are pizza’s Roman cousin and have a distinct crunchy and airy texture. They’re light enough to spin on your fingertips like a basketball but sturdy enough to hold up to tart marinara, scalloped potato slices glued together with raclette, and puddles of milky stracciatella. We have a hard time deciding which of Oste’s dozen or so pinses is our true favorite because we switch it up each time and never leave with next morning's leftovers." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
"This dependable, crowd-pleasing Italian spot in Beverly Grove will make even the most food-fearing person at your table feel like Andrew Zimmern (or at least Phil Rosenthal). The Roman-leaning menu features classic pomodoros and cacio e pepe, chicken milanese, and an entire section dedicated to burrata. But the main event are the pinsas, Roman-style pizzas cut with scissors that are sure to excite your Dominos-dependant tennis buddy. Oste is also open for brunch, something to remember when that same friend suggests Gracias Madre for the ninth time." - brant cox
"This Beverly Grove spot specializes in pinsa, a delicious Roman-style flatbread that’s unlike anything you can really find in LA. It’s perfect for sharing, but considering you’re meeting the one friend who acts like they aren’t hungry and then vultures everyone else’s food, just get two and avoid the lunchtime drama. Their lush, outdoor seating area is filled with lots of plants and pretty gold accents, making even the most stilted client lunch feel comfortable." - brant cox

This new Beverly Grove spot specializes in pinsa, a delicious Roman-style flatbread that’s unlike anything you can really find in LA. It’s perfect for sharing, but considering you’re meeting the one friend who acts like they aren’t hungry and then vultures everyone else’s food, just get two and avoid the drama. Their lush, outdoor seating area is filled with lots of plants and pretty gold accents, so any meal here will feel like a special occasion." - brant cox
