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.

I must say, they did not lose a step and if anything, are better than I remember. My wife and I had seven dishes (they are not very large), and all were great and recommended - that does not happen often.Burratina Pugliese - great rich fresh cheese with peppers, but not heavy at all.Grilled octopus - this is my wife's favorite dish here. Best octopus I have ever had, and I am a fan and have had it at many joints. So tender and flavorful.Goad Cheese Ravioli - a big hit of tangy deliciousness in every pocket.Ricotta Cavatelli - subtle and toothsome pasta, tasty and somehow the least impressive thing we ordered.Grilled Yellowtail - Subtly Middle-Eastern, yet so at home here. Amazing green harissa. Best cooked yellowtail I have ever had.And definitely do not forget dessert:Pistachio Semifreddo - decadent and rich, almost heavy but so svelte.Torta della Nonna - modernized, a pillowy soft torta below a super thin crisp pine nut top crust. Very cool and enjoyable interpretation of this classic dessert.Service was amazing, friendly and fun and on point. Sitting at the mozzarella bar was a great change of pace. Cocktails and wine hit the spot. It would be hard to improve on this for dinner in LA.

I've visited this spots on more than a few occasions, it's safe to say I love it here. There's an old saying "all good things must come to an end". I struggle with this idea because it can mean that I've been spoiled with excellence and that I've been conditioned to have high expectations. I know the expectations Chef Nancy has for her staff, at least I thought I did. I'm unsure how to feel about my last experience. I'll put it this way. It was like visiting a relatives house who forgot they invited you for dinner, but whipped some food up really quick to send you on your way. The whole interaction was off. The worst feeling is to spend your money and feel took. (Unwelcoming) (Accelerated) (Inconsistent) where was Chef Nancy's bread at that night ? It was a NO SHOW! My meatballs tasted like ( spaghettiOs ). Canned sauce maybe.Was this the ending of a great thing. Pizza was great!

From the salad to their pastas, everything we ordered was so yummy. Nancy's Caesar, which is their version of a Caesar salad, is a must! When it arrived at our table I was expecting the typical romaine lettuce, croutons, and pieces of parm cheese, but no it had a completely different twist to it and the taste was beyond amazing! Currently, I have been obsessing over espresso martinis so I had to order their $40 one --yikes I know! To their defense it was a very strong drink. Jon our waiter was on point. We will return for another date night.

Hey y'all guess what?! We got to return to this fabulous restaurant almost exactly two years later. We arrived at 5pm for our reservation at 5:30. They opened the doors promptly, checked our vaccination cards and welcomed us in. Taytum and I waited at the bar for our friends. The food was just as delicious as before. We literally had the same exact meals. If it ain't broke then why fix it?!! Eat well friends!!

Valet parking was $15. They no longer require your Covid vaccine card or masks as far as I am concerned and was advised via Opentable. We were seated as soon as we arrived. The place was packed. Started with the burrata and bacon, and red butter lettuce. The pasta course was okay, but frankly what was on offer does not compare to the restaurants that I have tried in Atlanta and elsewhere. Our mains were great both in terms of quality and size. The duck confit stood out and it had great flavor and texture. Thought we had left enough room for dessert based on what we have ordered, but decided against it.
