Heralded as a "meat speakeasy" by Food & Wine Magazine, chi SPACCA has come to represent the quintessential new Italian dining experience, where accompaniments like the Foccacia di Recco, warm salted Medjool dates, and Culatello & Puglia burrata are just sideshows for the rest of Chef Armen Ayvazyan's wood-fired menu which features a 42-ounce Tomahawk pork chop, a 36-ounce dry-aged bone-in New York Costata alla Fiorentina, and a 50-ounce dry-aged porterhouse Bistecca Fiorentina.

Enchanted by the artistry of Italian salumi culture, we built the first “dry cure” program in Los Angeles so that we could experiment and perfect Italian charcuterie techniques in house.

From the OpenTable editors: Anyone who can’t imagine a celebration dinner without meat—and lots of it—should go straight to this upscale Tuscan steakhouse. Part of chef Nancy Silverton’s Mozza empire, Chi Spacca zeroes in on butcher-inspired mains like a 50-ounce bistecca Fiorentina and tomahawk pork chop. The supporting characters on the menu are just as impressive, and so is the massive Italian wine list. Add a candlelit dining room, and you’ve got all the essentials for a big night out.

The food was exceptional from the focaccia di recco to the bone marrow pie. One thing I was really disappointed in was the $295 bistecca. For that price the cook should be perfect. Tonight, it wasn’t. It was over cooked and tough on the strip side. For an hour wait, we didn’t want to make a comment since it’s a mistake that would take forever to fix. Overall we loved our experience but wish the bistecca was cooked better.

We've always enjoyed the ambience and the atmosphere. We've always enjoyed the open flame of the wood burning oven. It's a perfect space to enjoy a calm dinner with family or friends. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a rustic Italian dinner.

Our large format steaks, done in the Fiorentina style do require a longer cooking time, as this is our signature methodology. We are sorry to hear the overall experience was lackluster as a result. We hope to have another opportunity to leave you more impressed. Best, Greer
