We take pride in our great selection of wines, craft cocktails, and mocktails, ensuring there’s something for every taste.

$$$$Price: Expensive

• Italian • Venice

Booked 28 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.

It’s way too loud. The music from the DJ on Fridays dinner service was great-except it was too loud. If the music was turned down a little, it would have been way more enjoyable to listen to. We loved the music choice.
