Ospi is the sophomore restaurant of Jackson & Melissa Kalb, focused on Southern Italian cooking and way of life. The name derives from ospitante (“host” in Italian), with the expectation that guests will feel as comfortable at Ospi as they would at a friend’s dinner party. There will be plenty of house-made pastas as well as an expanded offering of pizzas. The beverage program crafted by Kalb features mostly Californian and Southern Italian wines and a full bar with a special negroni section. At Ospi, the pizza is inspired by the techniques of Antico Forno Roscioli which Jackson and Melissa frequented while visiting Rome. Focusing on Romana Tonda-style crusts that are cracker-thin, he is adapting a recipe that he feels will resonate with the LA diner. Jackson feels it extremely important to not take food too seriously. Take a trip to Southern Italy and be a guest in our home.

Citrin and Chef de Cuisine Dani McNish prepare a seasonal menu of craveable comfort foods featuring locally-sourced proteins and vegetables ideal for sharing family-style.

I love Lunetta. Their service is only matched by their delicious food. The 4 of us rolled through most of the appetizers and then ordered one entre, which left room for two fabulous deserts. Everything on the menu is a hit, so pick your preferences. And your drinks. It was a great meal!

My husband and I are regulars at Ospi’s sister property Jame in El Segundo. For a change, we thought we would try Ospi. We were both blown away not just by the quality of the food, but by the hospitality we received from the moment we entered the restaurant. Every staff member we encountered from the hostess, to the food runner, to the bartender, to the manager who came to check on how our evening was going, greeted us with a warm welcome and an upbeat attitude. We received the kind of genuine service that is not often seen in restaurants anymore.

Overall, this was a good experience. We had the duck and filet mignon, both of which were cooked to our liking. Also had the stuffed baked potato, which was huge. If you’re a carnivore you should add this restaurant to your list.
