Been going to this restaurant for years and consistency is the name of the game. The owner Nancy Silverman is frequently there and she’s a delight. Sit at the kitchen bar for a true treat. Really excellent Italian food.

We had made birthday dinner reservations at this restaurant. It was our first visit. The hostess took us to the furthest out table next to the service door when there were plenty of tables in the main dining area. We requested a different table, and they accommodated us. Waiter started off as attentive and friendly. Appetizers, pasta, and wine were good and timely. Then we waited and waited and waited for our main course. Waiter never came to check on us as to why we hadn't received our main course. Finally, after over 30min we received our food and my husband's steak was cold. Bus boy called a manager who proceeded to tell my husband they serve the steak at room temperature??? My husband returned his steak. We had half of two main dishes left. Another manager came by and with a very rude tone said "can we clear this" I pointed to the two main dishes and asked to have them boxed. When we arrived home noticed only one dish had been boxed. I called and requested for a message to be sent to the manager to call me, explaining our experience to the reservation lady. It's been two weeks and no one bothered to call. Won't be going back.

We had high expectations but were sorely disappointed. Arriving a bit earlier than the other couple they don’t seat you so you have to mill around the bar until everybody arrives. Not very hospitable. Starting with the drink, my Martini was very watery. The food: ordered the burrata with leeks. Had to send it back, the leeks were so stringy I could have choked. Chose a different burrata dish. Overly sweet on account of the Balsamico reduction. A 2 out of 5 dish. The pasta Bolognese was good but nothing to write home about. The size of the portion an insult. Not even kids portion comes to mind. From a value point of view a total rip off. The dessert and also the selection mediocre. My wife had a ravioli with butter and sage. Again barely ok. and therefore the insulting small portion almost a blessing. Gave her a nice heartburn too. Tried the pasta of our friend. Terribly sweet, not a winner. The service I would describe as not bad but a bit awkward. The selection of the menu isn’t all that great. Too many Burrata dishes and three pastas with different meat sauces. Certainly won’t be back.

A bad taste left for our 20th anniversary. This will be my first time writing a negative review for a restaurant. Generally I'm not interested in highlighting faults. But our experience left a sour memory for us on what was meant to be a nice meal out to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. When you see a restaurant like this on one of your favourite shows, Chef's Table, it sets a certain expectation. My wife and I met up in L.A. I had come from a work trip and she flew in from Vancouver, Canada. This is the one reservation we made for this trip. I will say that the meal started out well, they presented us with a card and glass of bubbly. Our server was kind and informed. The sommelier was friendly and suggested a great bottle of wine. The food did not disappoint. So why push us out of our table before we could even finish our last glass of wine? My wife and I were mid conversation on what had gone well and what we might have changed in the last 20 years of our life together. We were maybe half way through our pasta, forks in hand when a gentleman who hadn't spoken to us yet informed us that should we want to stay we'd need to move to the bar to make room for a large table they needed to set. it was jarring to be stopped mid meal and conversation. We were maybe 5-10 minutes from being finished. We didn't set the cadence for the food delivery and we weren't moving slowly. Just all of a sudden we no longer felt welcome or important to them. 'You'll have about five minutes' we were informed. I could see my beautiful wife holding back tears. They offered us a seat at the bar, which I'm sure felt like a fair trade for them , but for me and my wife... we didn't want to sit at the bar, we just needed a minute to be together, enjoy a glass of wine and some memories. Instead we felt rushed out. A thankless experience. By the end, knowing my wife was upset, they tried to apologize with words but with no action. I finally had to ask for us to be left alone. We were almost finished our meal, would have paid and left with a great memory. Instead it felt like we were rushed to the door. Standing outside waiting for our ride, encouraging my wife not to let this ruin her evening, we noticed that the party of eight hadn't even arrived to fill the table they so desperately needed from us. My God, if you can train a team to produce such good food, train them with a little empathy and manners, and the ability to better problem solve for these occurrences in the future. There were many tables open that evening, why stick us at the one you knew you needed before we had even arrived??? At some point we may laugh about this, for now I'll try to make it up by visiting a different restaurant to redo our anniversary. It just makes me sad, disappointed.

Waiter started out curt, moved to condescending and finished at rude. Initial apps were fine (not great), the pastas were terrible, oversalted and undercooked, our duck was ok till you pulled the tiny bones out of your teeth, and we might still be chewing on the NY Strip. Oh and hurry up so we can get the next fools to sit at your table

Enjoyed the food, the ambiance, and the service was excellent. We ordered traditional pasta dishes and all were excellent. The service was great and was able to give good recommendations as well. Would go again if I lived in the area.

Me and my daughter had dinner at Osteria Mozza in July. We loved every second of our evening. Personnel was very nice, caring and sophisticated. We enjoyed our meal very much, mostly the mozzarella tasting! Amazing! We will be back!

Reading Great reviews on TripAdvisor - I made a reservation. Traveling from Chicago, we know delicious tasting Italian Dishes. If you are in LosAngeles, this is a must stop to delicious Italian Cuisine. Greeted by Luigi, our server with a smile & authentic Italian accent, made you feel welcomed. The Margarita Pizza, delicious, Homemade Gnocchi, mouth watering melt in your mouth - outstanding. Lasagna Bolognese, so darn good. We had to stuff ourselves with Cappuccino & Tiramisu, heavenly!! So many selections, wine bar, welcoming atmosphere - all put together by Filippo Cortivo, the owner.

The pasta is delicious and the atmosphere is great. Very dark and low lighting in the restaurant provides a more intimate experience. My friends were visiting in town for the week and this was one of the must try restaurants I took them too. Desert was also phenomenal as well and service is great !

This is a late review; my experience is from February! My boyfriend brought me here for Valentine's Day because we are big fans of Joe Bastianich.We waited by the bar while we waited for them to bring us to our table. The restaurant is nicely decorated and dimly lit. After being seated, our server was very quick to explain the menu to us and offer us drinks. For dinner, we had gnocchi with duck Ragú, the ricotta and egg raviolo, pan seared sea trout, and tagliatelle with oxtail ragú.My top favorites of the evening were the gnocchi with duck ragú and the ricotta and egg raviolo. The egg was perfectly runny in the middle of the raviolo. The trout was cooked very well and had a perfect crisp on the skin.So glad we had come here and definitely looking forward to coming back!

My bf and I always wanted to try this place but the menu always threw us off - it looked too avant-garde with words that make us go huh? instead of omg! But we finally decided to give it a shot and can't wait to come back again! We devoured 6 dishes between the 2 of us with no leftovers lol Toasted Olive Oil Bread - 100/10 (not on the menu) we always like to order garlic bread, but the closest thing they had was bread soaked in olive oil and toasted and it was HEAVENLY. I forgot if there was garlic on it but it was savory. I also love sourdough so I might be biased, but this might be my new favorite toasted bread in the world! Nancy's Caesar - 1000/10, ok I was very skeptical about this and was blown away as a result. Each piece of lettuce was cut perfectly identical, and the toppings to lettuce ratio was perfect, no parts left behind. I like interactive food so this was very fun to eat because you build your own bite lol Fonduta Ravioli - 100/10, this is almost like an italian/cheese dumpling, I think it was our favorite. they serve it plain then drizzle the balsamic vinegar in front of you (you don't need to say when) Orecchiette - this was surprisingly delicious also, it reminded me of pizza. It's on the saltier side, but I would order it again! Shaved Brussel Sprouts - this was good! I could do without the nuts but it was a great palette/texture cleanser to all the carby bites Pork Chop - I can't find the full name of this on the menu anymore, but it came with a bone, and some apricot glaze? and some kind of beans. Anyways, it was really good! The apricot complimented the flavor of the meat. This entree came last and we were SO full but still managed to finish it. Parking is hard to find, they do have a valet but it's a separate company so they do not validate!

What a disappointment! Our first meal back inside at our favorite place & we walk away shaking our heads & wondering what happened?The salad & cheese that we received were delivered quickly & with the excellent quality we know at Mozza. 40 minutes later still no pasta, our original server had signed out, and the new server unsure where our dinner was. No apology. No offer to bring something else & as we are ready to leave she brings the pasta & asks would you like me to wrap it to go? We had lost our appetite & felt so disappointed that we just wanted to leave. While I get that Covid has changed the world there is no excuse for an overstaffed expensive restaurant to bungle an order & only say well I didn't put the pasta on the bill!?Really? Thank you. You didn't charge me for pasta I didn't eat? Such a shame. Easily could have been remedied with appropriate customer service. Do better Mozza. We expect more from you.

(+) 36-month white cow modenese Parmigiano Reggiano (+) Ricotta Cavatelli (+) Ricotta & Egg Raviolo Osteria Mozza is an Italian restaurant that specializes in handmade pastas and their mozzarella bar. The wine menu is extensive. The floor plan is inviting and service is one of the best I have experienced. Valet is $15, or try your luck with street parking. There were four of us, and we shared 2 antipasti, 4 primi, and 1 secondi. Perfect amount of food for my wife and a couple of friends. Food/Drinks: Everything was so tasty that it was hard to pick a favorite. My favorite is the ricotta cavatelli. I enjoyed the English peas and the subtle flavors incorporated into the pasta. The green garlic gave it an interesting kick, but thoroughly one of the best. Both Ragu pasta dishes prepared as usual. The most interesting, yet delicious dish was the ricotta & egg raviolo. How I would describe this, is an egg cracked open inside a ravioli with ricotta and baked, or pan seared with brown butter. The egg yolk when cutting into the ravioli spilled away onto the plate. The brown butter tasted so good with the spilled yolk. Service: Our server was Jennifer and she did an outstanding job. Her service and everyone who serviced our table is top notch. Small things such as folding your napkin as you step away, to big thing such as a small talk and going beyond to make our experience memorable and comfortable. The sommelier did an awesome job finding a bottle of wine for us that paired nicely with our food. He kept it within our price range and hit the nail when it came to our group's wine preference. Overall, I would recommend Osteria Mozza for your Italian needs. Everything on the menu was delicious. I had high expectations for this restaurant and all of my expectations were met and then some.
