Osteria Mozza continues to turn out some of the city’s best pastas, each done with a true-to-Italy bent. There’s the tortellini, pappardelle with rabbit ragu, and the tagliatelle with oxtail. Read more

A good place to hit during the weekday for an amaro and plate of burrata, the service is always going to be top notch. The pastas or main dishes are prepared to perfection. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

There’s the tortellini, pappardelle with rabbit ragu, and the tagliatelle with oxtail, each a perfectly portioned example of high-quality ingredients turned out to make exquisite dinnertime favorites. Read more

The whole experience was incredible. The cocktails were perfectly crafted. I can’t recommended the Burratina Pugliese highly enough and the Ricotta & Egg Raviolo that has a poached egg inside.

I tend not to like "pretty food" places but this place changed my mind. The experience starts the second you walk. Everything we had was great. The staff was great too. This is a must try.... So go!!

You can't go wrong at Osteria Mozza. It's totally delicious–the pizza, pastas and entrees are all yummy. And there's a mozzarella bar that serves fresh cheese. The mint pesto dish is AMAZING. (friend)

One of LA's best Italians. Try Mozarrella sampler to start, a stuffed pasta for primi and outstanding beef tagliotti for segundi. If you only order a primi, beware that portions are small. Good wines.
Connie ChiuNovember 4, 2017
Spensive but so good. charcuterie has amazing variety and is substantial. The squid ink was good (uni was fishy) and so was the ricotta egg raviolo. Sit at the mozzarella bar to see the action.
Daniel HowellsJanuary 3, 2018
Very expensive but reflected in the quality. Incredible array of mozzarella, burrata and ricotta from the mozzarella bar, and I had a delicious fiery cacio e pepe. Service was excellent.

If you’re feeling pasta, there’s calf’s brain ravioli, but safer options exist, too, such as duck ragu over gnocchi. Round out your meal with a porcini-encrusted rib eye and call it a night. Read more

Yes to the mozzarella and burrata selection. Pasta… I had better, to be honest. Even if the patio is charming, it’s worth seating at the mozzarella bar and have a degustation menu.
Scottie MilagroNovember 20, 2014
Service was fantastic and the food was excellent. Grilled octopus was my favorite. The burrata sampler was also very good. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the raviolo.
Los Angeles TimesJune 26, 2013
Don't miss the bufala mozzarella draped with spectacular anchovy with Meyer lemon and an herb salad. Nancy Silverton makes a great a caprese with bufala, cherry tomatoes and basil.
EpicuriousFebruary 26, 2015
The dishes here are somewhat more polished than those at the adjacent pizzeria,. Sample fare: fresh ricotta and egg raviolo with browned butter, and beef brasato with horseradish gremolata. Read more

Beautiful place, the squid ink pasta is one of my favorites pastas ever. Great drinks, classy place

Imagine a great sushi chef who has chosen to work with mozzarella instead of fish. Really, you have never tasted such cheese. Read more

Obviously their food is unique and exquisite, but try one of their desserts - GEEBUS! Never had anything like their Olive Oil Gelato w/Rosemary Brittle, and never will again. Book a month in advance.
Men's Health MagAugust 3, 2014
Don’t come here looking for family-style Italian. This is a different beast conceived by power trio Mario Batali, Joe Bastianich, and Los Angeles’ queen of pastry, Nancy Silverton. Read more
Marcel CrudeleJune 7, 2018
Burrata with bacon and tagliatelle with ox tail ragu were both quite nice!
LA WeeklyOctober 4, 2011
Osteria Mozza, a sleek, bustling restaurant in the same building as Pizzeria Mozza, is pretty extraordinary now, but what is even more exciting is the restaurant it will evolve into in several years!
Marcelo GobettiApril 11, 2019
I came in a group, we've ordered many different dishes and everything was absolutely uniquely fantastic. A must go!
DAN COXJanuary 5, 2012
Been here 10+ times
Kathy Griffin says the "panini" is very good, Although I have yet to see a single panini on the menu, the food that they actually DO offer is among the most extraordinary in LA. Bliss...
Lina A.April 25, 2015
Its just as great as the branch in singapore! Burrata, goat cheese ravioli and torta della nonna... Oh my oh my :)
Rick RhoadesAugust 6, 2015
Great: Everything! Especially great when you sit at the food bar!
James RussellMay 16, 2011
Free glass of Prosecco with dinner is a nice touch. The Orecchietti w/sausage and swiss chard is absolutely fantastic. For the main course, try the "Brasato al Barolo" braised beef short rib.
NikenJanuary 20, 2012
Happiest place on earth. Everything is worth trying and lovely, don't miss out on the calf's brain ravioli with sage and lemon and the porcini rubbed rib eye.
Karun CSeptember 30, 2018
Burrata and Bacon is incredible. Lady next to me suggested the figgs too. Staff super friendly. Am I in a movie?
Social Espionage, LLCMarch 22, 2011
Mozza is like dining in the wine cavern of an old Italian villa. The food and the staff are on par with any highly rated Zagat resto. Their Italian wine list is superb - order a bottle.
Andrea FazDecember 31, 2013
Such an amazing restaurant- do not leave without trying the burrata- it was amazing. The qual was also delicious.
Jaime T GApril 11, 2018
Good starters, incredible mozzarella, but the pasta is from another world
Reed HHWSeptember 1, 2019
If you are feeling adventurous, try the squid ink pasta. The flavor was well balanced between sweet, salty, and spicy.
Jason CookMay 20, 2012
Pizza's nice, and all, but frankly it's the cheese-centric appetizers -- the burratas, buffalas, etc. --- that are downright amazing. Don't miss out.
Jean MarieSeptember 6, 2014
Lamb is excellent, and the prosciutto with melon is on par with Madeo's prosciutto with burratta. Delish!
Sean RobisonNovember 3, 2014
Amazing Italian food. The polenta and fried potatoes were amazing.
trontrontronAugust 24, 2014
Delicious, classic Italian. Has the charcuterie plate, the burrata with bacon and the orechiette.
Kirstin KJanuary 7, 2015
Amazing food! Definitely try to make it for the tasting menu at the bar on week nights.
F. BastardAugust 13, 2015
Like price gouging? This is your restaurant. Point out the egregiousness of said price gouging for a bonus of managerial pomposity!
Connie ChiuNovember 4, 2017
Oh yeah, get that olive oil cake. You will not be disappointed.
LA Home & StyleMarch 14, 2013
The whole menu is great but try the squash blossom pizza at mozza pizza and sit at the mozzarella bar at Osteria.
Vania N.March 31, 2018
Excellent pairing of food and wine, thank you for the recommendation! Amazing food!
Ruby NJanuary 21, 2019
Amazing meal. Don’t skip burrata, egg ravioli, orecchiette, or bombolini. Wow.
David HerrenDecember 13, 2014
The beef was just outstanding, crispy outside and perfectly medium rare inside. Awesome goat cheese ravioli. Really good service!
Ziad A.AOctober 14, 2015
Lovely food order everything
Jennifer LFebruary 5, 2012
I'm not a huge fan of cheese compared to most, but the burrata here is amazing - light fluffy clouds of cheese heaven!

If you're lactose intolerant, fuhgeddaboutit! Nancy Silverton and Mario Batali's high-end eatery serves over 15 kinds of mozzarella. Want casual? Check out the pizzeria next door, open 'til midnight.
EpicuriousAugust 23, 2010
Despite more refined food than its pizzeria sister-restaurant, this venue is more boisterous -loud guests & louder music- classic Mario Batali. Try the mozzarella tasting plate at the mozzarella bar!
Odile RoujolSeptember 23, 2021
Excellent pasta and drinks 🍹 🍝 sit at the bar !
James HAugust 8, 2017
Orecchiette is savory goodness
Joe BastianichMay 2, 2012
Start with the mozzarella bar. Try the Burrata with Bacon and Stracchino. Smoked perfection.
