Osteria Mozza

Los Angeles’s 2025 Michelin-Starred Restaurants, Mapped | Eater LA

"One star. While skewing slightly upscale, Osteria Mozza from chef Nancy Silverton is far from fussy. This Italian staple offers pasta, roasted meats, and one heck of a mozzarella bar." - Eater Staff

"A perennial hit since opening (expect a wait), this decade-old darling continues to please with creative cocktails and Italian cuisine. The décor veers from typical osteria-style, thanks to handsome dark-wood paneling and a white marble counter but nab a seat at the Mozza bar for a prime view of the antipasti preparation.Bread is something of an obsession here, as is the mozzarella menu. Chef Nancy Silverton's team strives to show you around the corners of Italian cooking, The crispy chicken leg is pure and simple comfort food, and pastas are unsurprisingly phenomenal—try the orecchiette with sausage and Swiss chard. Rosemary olive oil cake dusted with powdered sugar, topped with caramelized sugar rosemary brittle and sided by olive oil gelato is the perfect ending." - Michelin Inspector

The Best Restaurants On Melrose Avenue - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Walking in and sitting at the bar at Osteria Mozza rewards you with a few things: relatively immediate seating, the full menu of solid Italian food, and the off-chance of getting a front-row seat to watch Nancy Silverton in her preferred habitat of pulling mozzarella cheese for the masses. Order the ricotta and egg raviolo that’s covered in a brown butter sauce and a glass of Sicilian red, and watch as the Hancock Park old guard trickle in from their mansions." - brant cox

The Private Dining Directory - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Osteria Mozza has fantastic pasta and burrata, and your friends are tired of hearing you talk about them. Instead of annoying them, get them to come to dinner in the private room here. It has a lot of dark leather and wood, and is lined with wine bottles so it has the effect of being a wine room in a castle." - sylvio martins
