We had a tremendous dining experience, accompanied by a beautiful atmosphere and delicious food —at least until the forced evacuation at the hands of the many fires currently engulfing Los Angeles County…

Our service person was acceptional . Myhfriend who is a gourmet cook asked many questions about the ingredients of each entree. She knew it all.we had butternut squash with figs was delicious. my friend had Bece with pepper and cheese. He agreed it was far better than his. We shared the Caesar salad which was very different than any other Caesar salad I’ve ever had. Amazing! For desert we ordered pastry stuffed with apples and a side of ice cream and a chocolate dessert I don’t remember the name. I give Osteria mozza five stars in every area .
