Price: Very Expensive
• Italian • Venice
Booked 14 times today
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.

    Our party of 6 had a great patio table with heat lamp so felt we had the place to ourselves with a nice cozy ambiance. We shared a variety of dishes that were delish and memorable, as were the interesting cocktails. Though the duck dish is sooo good, the portions are small for the price. The service is always amazing!

    This was mine and my three friends first time dining at La Ong. We had a great experience! From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a warm smile and welcomed. Everything we ordered was excellent! The food, service and ambiance was all very well executed! I've recently returned from a trip to Bangkok and now I know where I can revisit a piece of it here in LA. We had the organic fresh green rolls (I need them to bottle the peanut sauce.lol), crab fried rice, sea bass southern thai curry, holy basil noodles and the dirty wagu beef! I would order everything again!
